Aortic Valve Insufficiency
Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation. It is caused by diseases of the AORTIC VALVE or its surrounding tissue (aortic root).

Is hospital care involved in inequalities in coronary heart disease mortality? Results from the French WHO-MONICA Project in men aged 30-64. (1/4527)

OBJECTIVES: The goal of the study was to assess whether possible disparities in coronary heart disease (CHD) management between occupational categories (OC) in men might be observed and contribute to the increasing inequalities in CHD morbidity and mortality reported in France. METHODS: The data from the three registers of the French MONICA Collaborative Centres (MCC-Lille, MCC-Strasbourg, and MCC-Toulouse) were analysed during two period: 1985-87 and 1989-91. Acute myocardial infarctions and coronary deaths concerning men, aged 30-64 years, were included. Non-professionally active and retired men were excluded. Results were adjusted for age and MCC, using a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: 605 and 695 events were analysed for 1985-87 and 1989-91, respectively. Out of hospital cardiac arrests, with or without cardiac resuscitation, and 28 day case fatality rates were lower among upper executives in both periods. A coronarography before the acute event had been performed more frequently in men of this category and the proportion of events that could be hospitalised was higher among them. In both periods, the management of acute myocardial infarctions in hospital and prescriptions on discharge were similar among occupational categories. CONCLUSIONS: For patients who could be admitted to hospital, the management was found to be similar among OCs, as was the 28 day case fatality rate among the hospitalised patients. In contrast, lower prognosis and higher probability of being hospitalised after the event among some categories suggest that pre-hospital care and the patient's conditions before the event are the primary factors involved.  (+info)

Tuberculous meningitis in South African urban adults. (2/4527)

We retrospectively reviewed 56 adults with culture-proven tuberculous meningitis (TBM), investigating clinical signs, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings and outcome. There were 50 patients, aged 18-59 years, 39 with and 11 without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Six were aged 60 years or older. Neurological signs of TBM in 18-59-year-olds were unaffected by HIV serostatus while, compared to those > or = 60 years of age, there were more patients with meningism (86.0% vs. 33.3%; p = 0.011) and fewer with seizures (12.0% vs. 50.0%; p = 0.046). The HIV-infected 18-59-year-olds had significantly more extrameningeal tuberculosis compared to the non-HIV-infected (76.9% vs. 9.1%; p = 0.0001) and 23.1% had 'breakthrough' TBM. CSF analysis revealed 12 patients (21.4%) with acellular fluid (more common in those > or = 60 years of age, p = 0.016), of whom three had completely normal CSF. A neutrophil predominance was found in 22 patients (39.3%). Only three patients (5.4%) had a positive CSF smear for acid-fast bacilli. In-hospital mortality occurred in 39 patients (69.1%), was similar in all study groups, and was not related to neurological stage. The diagnosis of TBM can be masked by lack of meningism in the elderly and by atypical CSF findings.  (+info)

The transmyocardial laser revascularization international registry report. (3/4527)

AIMS: This report aimed to provide an analysis of the data submitted from Europe and Asia on transmyocardial laser revascularization. METHODS AND RESULTS: Prospective data was recorded on 967 patients with intractable angina not amenable to conventional revascularization in 21 European and Asian centres performing transmyocardial laser revascularization using the PLC Medical Systems CO2 laser. Patient characteristics, operative details and early complications following transmyocardial laser revascularization were recorded. The in-hospital death rate was 9.7% (95% confidence interval 7.8% to 11.6%). Other early complications were consistent with similar cardiothoracic surgical procedures. There was a decrease of two or more Canadian Cardiovascular Score angina classes in 47.3%, 45.4% and 34.0% of survivors at 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up, respectively (P=0.001 for each). Treadmill exercise time increased by 42 s at 3 months (P=0.008), 1 min 43 s at 6 months (P<0.001) and 1 min 50 s at 12 months (P<0.001) against pre-operative times of 6 min. CONCLUSION: Uncontrolled registry data suggest that transmyocardial laser revascularization may lead to a decrease in angina and improved exercise tolerance. It does, however, have a risk of peri-operative morbidity and mortality. Definitive results from randomized controlled trials are awaited.  (+info)

Hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma: toward zero hospital deaths. (4/4527)

OBJECTIVE: The authors report on the surgical techniques and protocol for perioperative care that have yielded a zero hospital mortality rate in 110 consecutive patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The hepatectomy results are analyzed with the aim of further reducing the postoperative morbidity rate. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: In recent years, hepatectomy has been performed with a mortality rate of <10% in patients with HCC, but a zero hospital mortality rate in a large patient series has never been reported. At Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong, the surgical techniques and perioperative management in hepatectomy for HCC have evolved yearly into a final standardized protocol that reduced the hospital mortality rate from 28% in 1989 to 0% in 1996 and 1997. METHODS: Surgical techniques were designed to reduce intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion, and ischemic injury to the liver remnant in hepatectomy. Postoperative care was focused on preservation and promotion of liver function by providing adequate tissue oxygenation and immediate postoperative nutritional support that consisted of branched-chain amino acid-enriched solution, low-dose dextrose, medium-chain triglycerides, and phosphate. The pre-, intra-, and postoperative data were collected prospectively and analyzed each year to assess the influence of the evolving surgical techniques and perioperative care on outcome. RESULTS: Of 330 patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC, underlying cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis were present in 161 (49%) and 108 (33%) patients, respectively. There were no significant changes in the patient characteristics throughout the 9-year period, but there were significant reductions in intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion requirements. From 1994 to 1997, the median blood transfusion requirement was 0 ml, and 64% of the patients did not require a blood transfusion. The postoperative morbidity rate remained the same throughout the study period. Complications in the patients operated on during 1996 and 1997 were primarily wound infections; the potentially fatal complications seen in the early years, such as subphrenic sepsis, biliary leakage, and hepatic coma, were absent. By univariate analysis, the volume of blood loss, volume of blood transfusions, and operation time were correlated positively with postoperative morbidity rates in 1996 and 1997. Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that the operation time was the only parameter that correlated significantly with the postoperative morbidity rate. CONCLUSION: With appropriate surgical techniques and perioperative management to preserve function of the liver remnant, hepatectomy for HCC can be performed without hospital deaths. To improve surgical outcome further, strategies to reduce the operation time are being investigated.  (+info)

Primary angioplasty versus systemic thrombolysis in anterior myocardial infarction. (5/4527)

OBJECTIVES: This study compares the efficacy of primary angioplasty and systemic thrombolysis with t-PA in reducing the in-hospital mortality of patients with anterior AMI. BACKGROUND: Controversy still exists about the relative benefit of primary angioplasty over thrombolysis as treatment for AMI. METHODS: Two-hundred and twenty patients with anterior AMI were randomly assigned in our institution to primary angioplasty (109 patients) or systemic thrombolysis with accelerated t-PA (111 patients) within the first five hours from the onset of symptoms. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. Primary angioplasty was independently associated with a lower in-hospital mortality (2.8% vs. 10.8%, p = 0.02, adjusted odds ratio 0.23, 95% confidence interval 0.06 to 0.85). During hospitalization, patients treated by angioplasty had a lower frequency of postinfarction angina or positive stress test (11.9% vs. 25.2%, p = 0.01) and less frequently underwent percutaneous or surgical revascularization after the initial treatment (22.0% vs. 47.7%, p < 0.001) than did patients treated by t-PA. At six month follow-up, patients treated by angioplasty had a lower cumulative rate of death (4.6% vs. 11.7%, p = 0.05) and revascularization (31.2% vs. 55.9%, p < 0.001) than those treated by t-PA. CONCLUSIONS: In centers with an experienced and readily available interventional team, primary angioplasty is superior to t-PA for the treatment of anterior AMI.  (+info)

Quality of life four years after acute myocardial infarction: short form 36 scores compared with a normal population. (6/4527)

OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of myocardial infarction on quality of life in four year survivors compared to data from "community norms", and to determine factors associated with a poor quality of life. DESIGN: Cohort study based on the Nottingham heart attack register. SETTING: Two district general hospitals serving a defined urban/rural population. SUBJECTS: All patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction during 1992 and alive at a median of four years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Short form 36 (SF 36) domain and overall scores. RESULTS: Of 900 patients with an acute myocardial infarction in 1992, there were 476 patients alive and capable of responding to a questionnaire in 1997. The response rate was 424 (89. 1%). Compared to age and sex adjusted normative data, patients aged under 65 years exhibited impairment in all eight domains, the largest differences being in physical functioning (mean difference 20 points), role physical (mean difference 23 points), and general health (mean difference 19 points). In patients over 65 years mean domain scores were similar to community norms. Multiple regression analysis revealed that impaired quality of life was closely associated with inability to return to work through ill health, a need for coronary revascularisation, the use of anxiolytics, hypnotics or inhalers, the need for two or more angina drugs, a frequency of chest pain one or more times per week, and a Rose dyspnoea score of >/= 2. CONCLUSIONS: The SF 36 provides valuable additional information for the practising clinician. Compared to community norms the greatest impact on quality of life is seen in patients of working age. Impaired quality of life was reported by patients unfit for work, those with angina and dyspnoea, patients with coexistent lung disease, and those with anxiety and sleep disturbances. Improving quality of life after myocardial infarction remains a challenge for physicians.  (+info)

Mortality in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. The Finnvasc Study Group. (7/4527)

OBJECTIVE: To assess mortality related to rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA). DESIGN: A 4-year cross-sectional study based on a nationwide vascular registry Finnvasc and national cause-of-death registry (Statistics Finland). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 454 operations for RAAA among 11,747 surgical vascular reconstructions recorded in the Finnvasc registry and 1004 deaths due to RAAA during the same period based on Statistics Finland. RESULTS: The operative mortality rate was 49% based on the Finnvasc registry and 54% based on Statistics Finland. With all RAAA deaths at hospitals included, total hospital mortality was 68%. No association existed between hospital volume of RAAA operations and surgical mortality, although an inverse association did exist between hospital volume of RAAA operations and all RAAA deaths in the hospital (p = 0.01). The case fatality for RAAA in Finland was 80%. CONCLUSIONS: RAAA surgical mortality calculations for RAAA, based on a vascular registry, underestimate the true rate because some cases with fatal outcome tend to escape registration. Because surgical mortality rates may also be skewed by patient selection, total hospital RAAA mortality thus represents the results of RAAA treatment more accurately.  (+info)

Relation between hospital surgical volume and outcome for pancreatic resection for neoplasm in a publicly funded health care system. (8/4527)

BACKGROUND: Recent studies from the United States have shown that institutions with higher numbers of pancreatic resection procedures for neoplasm have lower mortality rates associated with this procedure. However, minimal work has been done to assess whether the results of similar volume-outcome studies within a publicly financed health care system would differ from those obtained in a mixed public-private health care system. METHODS: A population-based retrospective analysis was used to examine pancreatic resection for neoplasm in Ontario for the period 1988/89 to 1994/95. Outcomes examined included in-hospital case fatality rate and mean length of stay in hospital. For each hospital, total procedure volume for the study period was defined as low (fewer than 22), medium (22-42) or high (more than 42). Regression models were used to measure volume-outcome relations. RESULTS: The likelihood of postoperative death was higher in low-volume and medium-volume centres than in high-volume centres (odds ratio 5.1 and 4.5 respectively; p < 0.01 for both). Mean length of stay was greater in low- and medium-volume centres than in high-volume centres (by 7.7 and 9.2 days respectively, p < 0.01 for both). INTERPRETATION: This study adds to growing evidence that, for pancreatic resection for neoplasm, patients may have better outcomes if they are treated in high-volume hospitals rather than low-volume hospitals.  (+info)

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the world. One of the outcome indicators recently used to measure hospital performance is 30-day mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This indicator has proven to be a valid and reproducible indicator of the appropriateness and effectiveness of the diagnostic and therapeutic process for AMI patients after hospital admission. The aim of this study was to examine the determinants of inter-hospital variability on 30-day in-hospital mortality after AMI in Tuscany. This indicator is a proxy of 30-day mortality that includes only deaths occurred during the index or subsequent hospitalizations. The study population was identified from hospital discharge records (HDRs) and included all patients with primary or secondary ICD-9-CM codes of AMI (ICD-9 codes 410.xx) that were discharged between January 1, 2009 and November 30, 2009 from any hospital in Tuscany. The outcome of interest was 30-day all-cause in-hospital mortality, defined as a

Methods and Results-We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Medicare beneficiaries who underwent CAS from July 2009 to June 2011 at 927 US hospitals. Thirty-day risk-standardized mortality rates were calculated using the Hospital Compare statistical method, a well-validated hierarchical generalized linear model that included both patient-level and hospital-level predictors. Claims were examined from 22 708 patients undergoing CAS, with a crude 30-day mortality rate of 2.0%. Risk-standardized 30-day mortality rates after CAS varied from 1.1% to 5.1% (P,0.001 for the difference). Thirteen hospitals had risk-standardized mortality rates that were statistically (P,0.05) higher than the national mean. Conversely, 5 hospitals had risk-standardized mortality rates that were statistically (P,0.05) lower than the national mean.. ...

Comparison of Outcomes Among Patients with Cardiogenic Shock Admitted on Weekends versus Weekdays. | OnMedicaComparison of Outcomes Among Patients with Cardiogenic Shock Admitted on Weekends versus Weekdays. | OnMedica
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high mortality and often requires involvement of a multidisciplinary provider team to deliver timely care. Care coordination is more difficult on weekends, which may lead to a delay in care. We sought to assess the effect of weekend admissions on outcomes in patients admitted with CS. Patients admitted with CS were identified from 2005-2014 in the National Inpatient Sample using ICD9 code 785.51. Baseline demographics, in-hospital procedures, and outcomes were obtained and compared by day of admission. A multivariable model was used to assess the impact of weekend admission on in-hospital mortality. A total of 875,054 CS admissions were identified (age 67.4 ± 15.1 years, 40.2% female, 72.1% Caucasian), with 23% of patients being admitted on weekends. Baseline comorbidities were similar between groups. Weekend admissions were associated with higher in-hospital mortality (40.6% vs. 37.5%) and cardiac arrest (20.3% vs. 18.1%, p,0.001 for both) consistently ...

Our study has three major findings. First, it confirms that ICU patients face a high risk of treatment related injury. Close to 20% of the patients in our study experienced an AE while in the ICU and one in five AEs was considered preventable. Second, we quantified the impact that ICU-based AEs have on patients and the health system. We estimated that AEs were independently associated with an average increase in hospital length of stay of 31 days. This association was similar in magnitude and significance for preventable and non-preventable AEs. We did not find a significant statistical association of AEs and mortality. Third, we described the types of AEs that affect ICU patients. In doing so, we found several classes of AEs and preventable AEs. Not one of these classes represented more than a third of all AEs.. This study reaffirms the importance of improving patient safety in the ICU by measuring the risk of AEs and more accurately quantifying their impact. Rothschild et. al. used a ...

Delayed cord clamping linked to reduced hospital mortality - Medicalnewser.comDelayed cord clamping linked to reduced hospital mortality - Medicalnewser.com
The researchers found that most infants allocated to delayed clamping were assigned a delay of ≥60 seconds. Delayed clamping was associated with a reduction in hospital mortality (risk ratio [RR], 0.69; risk difference [RD], 0.02). Delayed clamping was also correlated with reduced hospital mortality in three trials with 996 infants aged ≤28 weeks gestation (RR, 0.7; RD, −0.05). Delayed clamping was correlated with a 2.73 percent increase in peak hematocrit and a 10 percent reduction in the proportion of infants having blood transfusion.. This systematic review provides high-quality evidence that delayed clamping reduced hospital mortality, which supports current guidelines recommending delayed clamping in preterm infants, the authors write. ...

Few studies have examined whether risk adjustment is evenly applicable to hospitals with various characteristics and case-mix. In this study, we applied a generic prediction model to nationwide discharge data from hospitals with various characteristics. We used standardized data of 1,878,767 discharged patients provided by 469 hospitals from July 1 to October 31, 2006. We generated and validated a case-mix in-hospital mortality prediction model using 50/50 split sample validation. We classified hospitals into two groups based on c-index value (hospitals with c-index ≥ 0.8; hospitals with c-index | 0.8) and examined differences in their characteristics. The model demonstrated excellent discrimination as indicated by the high average c-index and small standard deviation (c-index = 0.88 ± 0.04). Expected mortality rate of each hospital was highly correlated with observed mortality rate (r = 0.693, p | 0.001). Among the studied hospitals, 446 (95%) had a c-index of ≥0.8 and were classified as the

OBJECTIVE: A so-called weekend effect has been described in which mortality among those admitted to hospital at a weekend is higher than among those admitted on weekdays. The causes for the weekend effect remain unclear. This study examined patterns of community mortality to explore whether a shift from the community to hospital may account for observed differences in hospital mortality rates across the week. METHODS: The annual number of deaths in the community was compared to that in hospitals in England and Wales during 2012 to 2014 using data from the Office for National Statistics. Analyses included the mean annual deaths, by age group and by cause of death in the community and hospital and comparison of the proportion of deaths on each day of the week to the expected number of deaths. RESULTS: The observed and expected total number of deaths in the community were broadly similar on the weekend and weekday ( P = 0.386). There was no difference between observed and expected rates when comparing

Financial incentives may improve hospital mortality rates, says study | The University of ManchesterFinancial incentives may improve hospital mortality rates, says study | The University of Manchester
The research focused on Advancing Quality, a scheme introduced in 2008 at all 24 NHS hospitals providing emergency care in the North West. The first of its kind in England, the initiative required each hospital to submit data on 28 quality measures concerning five clinical conditions.. The researchers examined mortality rates for three of these five specified clinical conditions - pneumonia, heart failure and myocardial infarction. They compared the figures for in-hospital deaths within 30 days of admission in the 18 months before and after the schemes introduction.. The combined decrease for all three conditions was 1.3%, the equivalent of a 6% relative reduction - or some 890 lives. The study concludes that the possibility of incentives having a substantial effect on reducing deaths in NHS hospitals cannot be ruled out.. Co-author Ruth McDonald, Professor of Health Innovation and Learning at Nottingham University Business School, claimed the findings could have major policy ...

A method and system suitable for automated surveillance of intensive care unit patients for information denoting likelihood of in-hospital survival or mortality, represented in the timeseries of scoring systems such as APACHE III. Techniques from digital signal processing and Lyapunov stability analysis are combined in a method that allows for optimization of statistical hypothesis testing that is robust against short time series of as few as five time points. Once optimized, the method and system can achieve high-sensitivity high-specificity classification of survivorship, while avoiding false-positive prediction of mortality.

ICU mortality prediction using time series motifs - Semantic ScholarICU mortality prediction using time series motifs - Semantic Scholar
In this paper, we explore the application of motif discovery (i.e., the discovery of short characteristic patterns in a time series) to the clinical challenge of predicting intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. As part of the Physionet/CinC 2012 challenge, we present an approach that identifies and integrates information in motifs that are statistically over-or under-represented in ICU time series of patients experiencing in-hospital mortality. This is done through a three step process, where ICU time series are first discretized into sequences of symbols (by segmenting and partitioning them into periods of low, medium and high measurements); the resulting sequences of symbols are then searched for short subsequences that are associated with in-hospital mortality; and the information in many such clinically useful subsequences is integrated into models that can assess new patients. When evaluated on data from the Physionet/CinC 2012 challenge, our approach outperformed existing clinical scoring systems

Developing new approaches to measuring NHS outputs and productivityDeveloping new approaches to measuring NHS outputs and productivity
Downloadable! The Centre for Health Economics and National Institute of Economic and Social Research have recently completed a project funded by the Department of Health to improve measurement of the productivity of the NHS. The researchers have suggested better ways of measuring both outputs and inputs to improve estimates of productivity growth. Past estimates of NHS output growth have not taken account of changes in quality. The CHE/NIESR team conclude that the routine collection of health outcome data on patients is vital to measure NHS quality. They also propose making better use of existing data to quality adjust output indices to capture improvements in hospital survival rates and reductions in waiting times. With these limited adjustments the team estimate that annual NHS output growth averaged 3.79% between 1998/99 and 2003/04.The research team has also developed improved ways of measuring NHS inputs, particularly by drawing on better information about how many people are employed in the NHS

Cardiogenic Shock in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Versus Acute Myocardial Infarction | JACC: Heart FailureCardiogenic Shock in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Versus Acute Myocardial Infarction | JACC: Heart Failure
Results Between 2007 and 2014, there were 374,152 admissions for CS due to either TC or AMI, of which 4,614 patients (1.2%) had TC-CS. TC-CS admission patients were more likely to be younger, white females with fewer comorbidities. Rates of respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation were higher in TC-CS, but cardiac arrest and acute kidney injury were lower. There were no differences between cohorts in use of intra-aortic balloon pumps. TC-CS admissions had lower in-hospital mortality (15% vs. 37%, respectively) and hospital costs (U.S. dollars: $135,397 ± $127,617 vs. $154,827 ± $186,035, respectively) and were discharged home more often (45% vs. 36%, respectively) compared to AMI-CS admissions (all: p , 0.001). After adjustments for potential confounders, TC-CS was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32 to 0.38; p , 0.001). Similar findings were observed in the propensity-matched cohort (OR: 0.32; 95% CI: 0.25 to 0.39; p , ...

Obesity and diabetes mellitus are well-defined risk factors for cardiovascular mortality. The impact of antecedent hyperglycemia and body size on mortality in critical ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) may vary across their range of values. Therefore, we prospectively analyzed the relationship between in-hospital mortality and preexisting hyperglycemia and body size in critically ill ICU patients to understand how mortality varied among normal, overweight, and obese patients and those with low, intermediate, and high glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Medical history, weight, height, physiologic variables, and HbA1c were obtained during the first 24 h for patients who were consecutively admitted to the high complexity ICU of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil, from April to August 2011. The relationships between mortality and obesity and antecedent hyperglycemia were prospectively analyzed by cubic spline analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model. The study comprised 199

Risk factors associated to hospital mortality in patients with acute kidney injury on hemodialysis.Risk factors associated to hospital mortality in patients with acute kidney injury on hemodialysis.
INTRODUCTION: The worldwide incidence of acute kidney injury is 18% and the overall hospital mortality can rise above 50%. In Peru, there are few series about mortality of acute kidney injury in hemodialysis patients. OBJECTIVES: To identify risk factors associated to hospital mortality of acute kidney injury in hemodialysis patients. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort of patients with acute kidney injury in hemodialysis of Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins gathered between January 2013 and December 2015. The sample size was 154 patients which allowed a power of 80% and a CI of 95%. ICD-10 codes were used to identify medical records of patients with acute kidney injury (N.17) and hemodialysis (Z.49). The independent variable was oliguria, and the primary outcome was hospital mortality. Poisson regression was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS: We identified a total of 285 patients; 212 medical records were analyzed and 44 were excluded. Out of the 168 medical records, 129 ...

Results We examined 3 922 091 (26 409 deaths) elective procedures with valid consultant information between 2008-2009 and 2010-2011 in English hospitals; there were 21 196 consultants in charge of these procedures, which took place in 163 NHS hospitals. Consultant seniority had no significant impact in predicting mortality (p=0.345). Patients undergoing elective surgery under junior consultants had slightly lower odds of 30-day death when compared with patients under more experienced consultants (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91 to 0.99). We found significant mortality variation among consultants in charge of elective procedures within hospitals, with only moderate variation between hospitals. The adjusted odds of death remained higher for Friday (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.42 to 1.54), Saturday (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.83 to 2.12) and Sunday (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.50 to 1.85) after adjusting for consultant seniority and patient characteristics. Consultant experience is significantly lower (p,0.0001) on a Friday (median (SD) ...

A preoperative index of mortality for patients undergoing surgery of type A aortic dissection | Read by QxMDA preoperative index of mortality for patients undergoing surgery of type A aortic dissection | Read by QxMD
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify and stratify the most important preoperative factors for in-hospital death after surgery for type A aortic dissection.. METHODS: From January 1985 to June 1998, 108 patients underwent surgery for type A aortic dissection. 89.9% of the patients had an acute type A dissection (AD), whereas 11.1% had a chronic dissection (CD). Cardiac tamponade and shock occurred in 22% and 14.8% of the patients, respectively. The location of the primary intimal tear was in the ascending aorta in 71.2% of the cases, in the arch in 16.6% and in the descending aorta in 7.4%. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify non-embolic variables independently correlated to in-hospital death. A predictive model of in-hospital mortality was then constructed by means of a mathematical method with the variables selected from logistic regression analysis.. RESULTS: The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 20.3% (22/108 patients), being 9% for CD and 21.6% ...

Impact of data source and time reference of functional status on hospital mortality prediction | BMC Health Services Research |...
The results of the study indicated that the medical record is a good source of information on functional status prior to admission. The level of agreement in the difficulty experienced by the patient in performing at least 1 of 7 basic care skills (feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, transferring and walking) was found to be higher than that reported by Bogardus et al.[6]. (к = 0.64 versus 0.48). Variations in institutional emphasis on documentation could have influenced the difference in the extent of missing documentation, and in turn, the level of agreement between the two data sources. The inclusion of specific functional status checkboxes for history taking in the medical records at the study hospital resulted in missing documentation of only 1.1%, compared to 9% reported by Bogardus et al.[6].. In contrast to pre-admission information, the extent of concordance between interview and documented impairment in at least 1 of the 7 ADLs on-admission was low (к = 0.28). While ...

In-hospital vs. 30-day mortality in the critically ill - a 2-year Swedish intensive care cohort analysisIn-hospital vs. 30-day mortality in the critically ill - a 2-year Swedish intensive care cohort analysis
Background. Standardised mortality ratio (SMR) is a common quality indicator in critical care and is the ratio between observed mortality and expected mortality.. Typically, in-hospital mortality is used to derive SMR, but the use of a time-fixed, more objective, end-point has been advocated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality on a comprehensive Swedish intensive care cohort.. Methods. A retrospective study on patients ,15 years old, from the Swedish Intensive Care Register (SIR), where intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in 2009-2010 were matched with the corresponding hospital admissions in the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register. Recalibrated SAPS (Simplified Acute Physiology Score) 3 models were developed to predict and compare in-hospital and 30-day mortality. SMR based on in-hospital mortality and on 30-day mortality were compared between ICUs and between groups with different case-mixes, discharge destinations and length of ...

In-Hospital and Long-term Outcome After Reoperative Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery | CirculationIn-Hospital and Long-term Outcome After Reoperative Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery | Circulation
In the present study, the immediate- and long-term outcomes after reoperative coronary surgery have been presented in a large patient population. The in-hospital mortality was 7%, and 1-, 5-, and 10-year mortality was 11%, 23%, and 45%. The major correlate of in-hospital mortality was emergency surgery, and of long-term mortality, older age. The other major complications in-hospital were acute Q-wave myocardial infarction in 5.6% and neurological events in 2.8%. The constancy of in-hospital results despite an older and more severely diseased population in recent years suggests gradually improving techniques. The high in-hospital mortality with emergency surgery suggests that control or prevention of perioperative ischemia may be useful in lowering in-hospital mortality. There was a continuing incidence of myocardial infarction after hospital discharge as well as additional revascularization procedures. The in-hospital mortality rate was higher and long-term survival rate was lower than in ...

Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeAcute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
While neuromuscular blockade is often avoided in the ICU setting for fear of inducting critical illness myopathy, a recent randomized controlled trial comparing cisatracurium-based paralysis to no paralysis in patients with severe ARDS showed a significant decrease in overall mortality rates with no increase in myopathy [2) of less than 150, with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm or more of water and a tidal volume of 6 to 8 ml per kilogram of predicted body weight. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who died either before hospital discharge or within 90 days after study enrollment (i.e., the 90-day in-hospital mortality rate), adjusted for predefined covariates and baseline differences between groups with the use of a Cox model. RESULTS: The hazard ratio for death at 90 days in the cisatracurium group, as compared with the placebo group, was 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48 to 0.98; P=0.04), after adjustment for both the baseline PaO2:FIO2 and plateau pressure ...

Introduction: Since the worldwide emergence of the COVID-19, several protocols were used by different healthcare organisations. We evaluated in this study the demographic and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 disease in Egyptian population with special consideration for its mortality predictors. Methodology: 8162 participants (mean age 48.7 years,54.5% males) with RT-PCR positive COVID-19 were included. The electronic medical records were reviewed for demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiologic features. The primary outcome was the in-hospital mortality rate. Results: The in-hospital mortality was 11.2%. There was a statistically significant strong association of in-hospital mortality with age |60 years old (OR:4.7; 95% CI 4.1-5.4;p|0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR:4.6; 95% CI 3.99-5.32;p|0.001), hypertension (OR:3.9; 95% CI 3.4-4.5;p|0.001), coronary artery disease (OR:2.7; 95% CI 2.2-3.2;p|0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR:2.1; 95% CI 1.7-2.5;p|0.001), chronic kidney disease (OR

Age-Specific Gender Differences in In-Hospital Mortality by Type of Acute Myocardial Infarction.Age-Specific Gender Differences in In-Hospital Mortality by Type of Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Younger women hospitalized with an acute myocardial infarction (MI) have a poorer prognosis than men. Whether this is true for patients with acute ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) is not extensively studied. Using the MarketScan 2004 to 2007 Commercial and Medicare supplemental admission databases, we assessed gender differences in in-hospital mortality according to age in 91,088 patients (35,899 with STEMI, 55,189 with NSTEMI) who were 18 to 89 years old and had acute MI as their primary diagnosis. Patients with STEMI had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than those with NSTEMI (4.35% vs 3.53%, p ,0.0001). Compared to men women were older, had higher co-morbidity scores, and were less likely to undergo revascularization during hospitalization in the STEMI and NSTEMI populations. In patients with STEMI the unadjusted women-to-men odds ratio for in-hospital mortality was 2.29 (95% confidence interval 1.48 to 3.55) for the 18- to 49-year age group, 1.68 (1.28 to ...

OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that diabetes is an independent determinant of outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This was a hospital-based prospective study The setting was an acute care 350-bed hospital in the city of Barcelona, Spain. Spontaneous ICH was diagnosed in 229 (11%) of 2,000 consecutive stroke patients included in a prospective stroke registry during a 10-year period. Main outcome measures were frequency of demographic variables, risk factors, clinical events, neuroimaging data, and outcome in ICH patients with and without diabetes. Variables related to vital status at discharge (alive or dead) in the univariate analysis plus age were studied in 4 logistical regression models. RESULTS: A total of 35 patients (15.3%) had diabetes. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 54.3% in the diabetic group and 26.3% in the nondiabetic group (P , 0.001). Previous cerebral infarction, altered consciousness, sensory symptoms, cranial nerve palsy, ...

BACKGROUND: A higher early mortality rate after STEMI has been reported in women before the widespread use of PCI in STEMI. PCI improves the prognosis of STEMI; however, the effect of primary PCI on early outcomes in women is controversial. In a large regional prospective registry, we examined in-hospital mortality after PCI for STEMI in women and men to determine if female gender was still an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality.. METHODS: The Greater Paris area comprises 11 million inhabitants and accounts for 18% of the French population. Data from all PCIs performed in the 42 centers of this area is entered in a mandatory registry with internal and external audits held by the hospital governmental agency. Clinical status at discharge (dead or alive) is also recorded in another hospital-based database and a cross-check performed to validate all deaths. From 2003 to 2007, 16063 patients were treated by PCI for STEMI within 24 hours of the onset of chest pain, 3542 (22.0%) were women ...

Results This study included 1295 ICU patients with AMI, who were divided into four groups according to the WHO BMI classification. Our results suggest that obese patients with AMI tended to be younger (p,0.001), be men (p=0.001) and have higher blood glucose and creatine kinase (p,0.001) compared with normal weight patients. In the adjusted model, compared with normal weight AMI patients, those who were overweight and obese had lower ICU risks of death HR=0.64 (95% CI 0.46 to 0.89) and 0.55 (0.38 to 0.78), respectively, inhospital risks of death (0.77 (0.56 to 1.09) and 0.61 (0.43 to 0.87)) and long-term risks of death (0.78 0.64 to 0.94) and 0.72 (0.59 to 0.89). On the other hand, underweight patients had higher risks of short-term(ICU or inhospital mortality) and long-term mortality compared with normal weight patients (HR=1.39 (95% CI 0.58 to 3.30), 1.46 (0.62 to 3.42) and 1.99 (1.15 to 3.44), respectively). ...

Prior investigations have evaluated the association between time of ICU discharge and outcomes [8, 12-15]. While most studies demonstrate that nighttime discharge is associated with unfavorable outcomes [7, 12-14], others have failed to confirm these findings [1, 8, 16]. In a landmark study from the ICNARC database in the United Kingdom, Goldfrad and Rowan showed that nighttime discharge from ICU increased risk for hospital mortality [3]. However, after adjustment for premature discharge in their analysis, the independent effect of nighttime discharge was lost [3], suggesting that the attributable risk for mortality was more related to the untimely discharge rather than the specific time of day. In a subsequent study of Finnish ICU patients, Uusaro et al failed to show out-of-office hour discharges (defined as those occurring from 1600 h to 0800 h) were associated with post-ICU mortality [8].

Hospital mortality: when failure is not a good measure of success
The article presents a case study of the outcomes-based perfomance measures for hospital mortality for specific conditions and procedures. Strategies have been proposed to measure and improve hospital performance efforts have included national patient safety agencies, mandatory accreditation and financial incentives. The article discusses the validity of the hospitals standardized mortality ratio wherein it must correlate with accepted measures of quality. The precise measurement of hospital performance that will provide similar quality of care where quality remained constant. The recommendation of supporters the use of the hospital standardized mortality ratio to monitor quality of care over time ...

Two Methods Offer Good Mortality Prediction in Critically Ill HIV PatientsTwo Methods Offer Good Mortality Prediction in Critically Ill HIV Patients
Median APACHE score stood at 19 (interquartile range 13 to 26) and median VACS score at 57 (interquartile range 34 to 80). Every 5 point higher APACHE or VACS score was significantly associated with hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR] 1.722 for APACHE and 1.114 for VACS), 30-day mortality (OR 1.652 for APACHE and 1.144 for VACS), and 1-year mortality (OR 1.323 for APACHE and 1.132 for VACS) (P < 0.001 for all associations). ROC AUC analysis discerned little difference in predictive value with APACHE versus VACS for in-hospital mortality or 30-day mortality. But there was a trend toward greater discrimination with VACS than APACHE for 1-year mortality (ROC AUC 0.702, 95% confidence interval 0.637 to 0.766, for VACS and 0.634, 95% confidence interval 0.568 to 0.701, for APACHE, P = 0.0661 ...

Changes in case-mix and outcomes of critically ill patients in an Australian tertiary intensive care unit - Murdoch University...Changes in case-mix and outcomes of critically ill patients in an Australian tertiary intensive care unit - Murdoch University...
Critical care service is expensive and the demand for such service is increasing in many developed countries. This study aimed to assess the changes in characteristics of critically ill patients and their effect on long-term outcome. This cohort study utilised linked data between the intensive care unit database and state-wide morbidity and mortality databases. Logistic and Cox regression was used to examine hospital survival and five-year survival of 22,298 intensive care unit patients, respectively. There was a significant increase in age, severity of illness and Charlson Comorbidity Index of the patients over a 16-year study period. Although hospital mortality and median length of intensive care unit and hospital stay remained unchanged, one- and five-year survival had significantly improved with time, after adjusting for age, gender, severity of illness, organ failure, comorbidity, new cancer and diagnostic group. Stratified analyses showed that the improvement in five-year survival was ...

Between 1983 and 1995, 546 Blalock-Taussig shunt procedures were performed in 472 patients: 128 (23.0%) were classical shunts, 90 of them on the same side as to the aortic arch, and 418 (77.0%) were modified shunts, 182 on the same side of the arch. At the time of surgery, 78 patients were aged below one week, 270 from one week to 12 months, and 198 patients were over one year of age. The mean pre-operative arterial saturation (71.7%±16.5%) was significantly increased to 83%±17.9% imme-diately after the procedure (p=0.017). The overall hospital mortality rate was 2.9% (16/546), with rates of 2.3% (3/128) for the classical, and 3.1% (13/418) for the modified shunts (p= not significant). The rate was significantly higher, however, for classical shunts when the pulmonary arterial diameter was less than 4 mm (15.4% versus zero; p=0.047), though this relationship was reversed for modified shunts (zero versus 3.6%; p=0.338). Early mortality was significantly influenced by the age at surgery, 5/78 ...

NaURSE Score of Wilson et al for Predicting In-Hospital Mortality for a Very Old Acutely Ill Patient | Medicalalgorithms.comNaURSE Score of Wilson et al for Predicting In-Hospital Mortality for a Very Old Acutely Ill Patient | Medicalalgorithms.com
Wilson et al reported the NaURSE (sodium, urea, respiratiory rate and shock index in the elderly) for evaluating a very old person who has been admitted with acute illness to the hospital. This can help to identify a patient at risk for in-hospital mortality who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, University of South Manchester, Woodend Hospital and University of Aberdeen in the UK.

There is considerable debate about the value of using hospital mortality rates adjusted for case mix as an indicator of the quality and safety of care provided by hospitals. A linked paper by Pouw and colleagues (doi:10.1136/bmj.f5913) investigates the inclusion of post-discharge deaths in these mortality indicators.1 The main doubts about their value are that standardisation for differences between hospitals in the characteristics of their patients (the case mix) doesnt work, and that these indicators do not measure performance because they are not related to avoidable mortality. There is no doubt that the case mix adjustment is problematic. We know that different adjustment models lead to different results,2 and that important measures of case mix are missing from models based on routine data.3 We also know that these measures are at best weakly related to avoidable mortality-models show that they would begin to be useful for identifying poor quality of care only when at least 16% of hospital ...

The indication of NIV in the context of exacerbation of COPD is based on 16 published randomized control studies that compared this ventilation modality versus standard of care, including oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, and corticosteroids1-3,5-7,16,17 Overall, these trials revealed a lower incidence of endotracheal intubation and hospital mortality in the NIV group. However, most of these studies included patients with severe exacerbations, defined by admission pH lower than 7.35. Among the group of patients with mild exacerbations (higher pH values), no benefits in clinical outcomes were observed with NIV.18 Treatment of CPE with CPAP and NIV has also been extensively studied. Particularly, a large study that accounted for 70% of all patients with CPE who have been studied in randomized controlled trials of NIV,19 plus 5 systematic reviews addressing this treatment,4,20-23 demonstrated a trend toward reduction in endotracheal intubation and hospital mortality.
