Ruhee Chaudhry and colleagues suggest that treatment at teaching hospitals rather than community hospitals may be advantageous for women with small breast tumours.1 I suggest that the reason women treated at teaching centres live longer than those treated at community hospitals has more to do with differences in the patient populations than with differences in the quality of treatment at the 2 types of hospitals. ...

Background: Nosocomial infections (NIs) constitute an important worldwide health problem with high morbidity and mortality rate as well as economic consequences. We aimed to determine incidence of nosocomial infection in surgical intensive care unit (SICU). Aims & Objectives: To find out incidence of nosocomial infection in surgical intensive care unit (SICU) at a large teaching hospital in North India. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted during a period of one year from 1st Oct 2013 to 30th Sep 2014 in SICU of SKIMS. The researcher visited the SICU on daily basis at 10 am in the morning to note down presence or absence of signs and symptoms of nosocomial infection as per the laid down criteria. The researcher used inpatient records, interacted with clinical staff to establish absence or presence of nosocomial infection. Criteria for establishment of nosocomial infections were adopted in accordance with the simplified definition derived from the Centre for disease control, USA. ...

A total of 7603 patients were identified, with 61.2% (n = 4650) in the teaching hospital group and 38.8% (n = 2953) in the nonteaching hospital group. The proportion of patients undergoing revision procedures was significantly different between groups (5.2% in teaching hospitals vs 3.9% in nonteaching hospitals, p = 0.008). Likewise, complex procedures (defined as fusion of 8 or more segments and/or osteotomy) were more common in teaching hospitals (27.3% vs 21.7%, p , 0.001). Crude overall complication rates were similar in teaching hospitals (47.9%) compared with nonteaching hospitals (49.8%, p = 0.114). After controlling for patient characteristics, case complexity, and revision status, patients treated at teaching hospitals were significantly less likely to develop a complication when compared with patients treated at a nonteaching hospital (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.98). The mortality rate was 0.4% in teaching hospitals and , 0.4% in nonteaching hospitals (p = 0.210). ...

Utilization of gastroprotective strategies for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastrointestinal events in a major teaching hospital Hooi Leng Lee,1 Siew Siang Chua,1 Sanjiv Mahadeva2 1Department of Pharmacy, 2Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Background and purpose: Clinical guidelines recommend the prescribing of gastroprotective strategies in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) users with risk factors for gastrointestinal (GI) ulcer or ulcer complications. However, these guidelines are not often translated into clinical practice. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the utilization of gastroprotective strategies for NSAID-induced upper GI events in at-risk users in a major teaching hospital. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional, observational, pharmacy-based study was conducted in a major Asian institution with both primary and secondary health care services. This study involved the screening of

TY - JOUR. T1 - Deficits in AIDS/HIV knowledge among physicians and nurses at a Minnesota public teaching hospital.. AU - Henry, K.. AU - Sullivan, C.. AU - Campbell, S.. PY - 1993/2. Y1 - 1993/2. N2 - We administered a questionnaire pertaining to recent gains in knowledge about HIV/AIDS treatment and natural history in mid-1990 to all physicians and nurses at a 455-bed public teaching hospital. Surveys were returned by 127 physicians (46%) and 541 nurses (77%). Responses indicated that only 37% of physicians and 18% of nurses knew that the risk for an AIDS-related opportunistic infection becomes significant when the T-helper cell count falls below 200 cells per cubic millimeter. One-fourth of physicians (23%) and more than one-half of nurses (55%) were not aware that the HIV enzyme immunoassay test alone is insufficient to properly determine a patients HIV serostatus. The survey results revealed a broad deficit in knowledge about the natural history and treatment of HIV infection and ...

Antibacterial drugs (hereafter referred to as antibiotics) are crucial to treat infections during delivery and postpartum period to reduce maternal mortality. Institutional deliveries have the potential to save lives of many women but extensive use of antibiotics, add to the development and spread of antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to present antibiotic prescribing among inpatients during and after delivery in a non-teaching, tertiary care hospital in the city of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted including women having had either a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section in the hospital. Trained nursing staff collected the data on daily bases, using a specific form attached to each patient file. Statistical analysis, including bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was conducted. Of the total 1077 women, 566 (53%) had a vaginal delivery and 511 (47%) had a cesarean section.

The postoperative stage includes recovery care and treatment in an inpatient surgical unit and/or an intensive care unit and ends with discharge from hospital. The following is a summary of the processes in surgical care at major teaching hospitals in Canada. When necessary, primary care physicians refer to a specialist any patient who presents with signs and symptoms specific to a condition that is amenable to surgical intervention. If, following an outpatient consultation, surgery is deemed necessary, staff in the surgeons office register the patient on an appropriate wait list and sends the request for operating room time to hospitals where the surgeon has admitting privileges. Interpretation The graph of the access function, or access curve, is an informative visual tool for monitoring hospital waitlist statistics and studying access to surgery [78]. 1 presents an example of an access curve that summarizes the probabilities of undergoing elective vascular surgery at a tertiary care center ...

I read with interest some of the stories regarding surgical internship and residency and unfortunately it doesnt seem that this topic has touched upon the issue of surgical intervention by surgeons when non surgical intervention may be just as viable I practiced medicine in San Francisco for years as an endocrinologist and one day I fell walking my dog down a steep hill. I immediately consulted with the chief of orthopedic surgery at a major teaching hospital regarding an isolated fibular fracture(bimalleolar). Immediately she said she would get me in for screws and a plate the next morning since she recognized me. After looking at the film and the extent of the fracture, I went for a second opinion where we decided to proceed with ultrasound and after 9 weeks of intensive treatment and a boot, the imaging showed correct alignment and proper healing of the bone. Twenty years later and the ankle still remains strong, with no arthritis My point being, hospitals welcome surgical intervention as a ...

Itd be wrong for me to suggest to commissioners how to do their job. I have met very few commissioners, or indeed managers in health or social care. When I was a junior doctor at major teaching hospitals in Cambridgeshire and London, I had met none in fact. I think living with a condition, and knowing how to prepare for a good death when the time comes, are positive things - overmedicalising someone emphasising illness overly, at the expense of appreciating personhood, is not helpful?. I perceive increasing dementia awareness as very important, in fact. I included a section on the Dementia Friends programme, delivered by the Alzheimers Society and Public Health England, in my second book on dementia (Living better with dementia: good practice and innovation for the future); my first book, based on the NICE QS30 standard for promoting wellbeing in dementia, won best book of the year award for health and social care for the BMJ Book Awards in 2015 (click here to download the pamphlet on ...

Current use of fetal tissue. From 1994 to 2002, 19 separate biomedical researchers at 12 separate Australian institutions (four universities, six major teaching hospitals and two research institutes) used human fetal tissue in their research. The actual tissues used (detailed in Box 2) were determined by the individual research projects. In 1994, eye tissue made up nearly half of the distributed tissue. There was an increase in the use of bone/cartilage during 1996-2001, kidneys during 1996-1999, and liver and spinal cord over the past 4 years.. From 1994 to 2002, the tissue was used exclusively for biomedical research. In the previous decade, it was also used for therapeutic purposes,3 in an attempt to replenish ß cells in people with type 1 diabetes.6 These trials, which demonstrated survival but not function of the grafts, were discontinued as supply of second trimester tissue was limited. The research projects for which human fetal tissues were used included tissue development, mechanism of ...

Find out if you live anywhere near a community or teaching hospital. They should be able to treat you for low cost or free if you are unable to pay. If you are anywhere near a teaching hospital, that is, a hospital that has medical residents they are often community hospitals. You can talk to someone first in admissions or billing about working something out. Because teaching hospitals have medical residents, they have teams who work together and might work collaboratively on your case. Medical residents are licensed doctors, but they have to complete a certain number of hours of hospital work under supervision before they can function as doctors independently. This is often a way for people to get good quality medical care with the latest medical knowledge for a lower price or free. I know this because I know medical residents working at community teaching hospitals in major cities. They treat people all the time who cannot pay ...

Background: Adverse events (AEs) are adverse outcomes caused by medical care. Several studies have indicated that a substantial number of patients experience AEs before or during hospitalization. However, few data describe AEs after hospital discharge. We determined the incidence, severity, preventability and ameliorability of AEs in patients discharged from the general internal medicine service of a Canadian hospital. Methods: At a multisite Canadian teaching hospital, we prospectively studied patients who were consecutively discharged home or to a seniors residence from the general internal medicine service during a 14-week interval in 2002. We used telephone interview and chart review to identify outcomes after discharge. Two physicians independently reviewed each outcome to determine if the patient experienced an AE. The severity, preventability and ameliorability of all AEs were classified. Results: During the study period, outcomes were determined for 328 of the 361 eligible patients, who ...

Mother-to-child transmission of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) is the most common route of HIV transmission in the pediatric age group. A number of risk factors contribute to the rate of this transmission. Such risk factors include advance maternal HIV disease, lack of anti-viral prophylaxis in the mother and child, mixing of maternal and infant blood during delivery and breastfeeding. This study aims to determine the cumulative HIV infection rate by 18 months and the associated risk factors at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu. A retrospective study, involving HIV exposed infants seen at the pediatric HIV clinic of UNTH between March 2006 and September 2008. Relevant data were retrieved from their medical records. The overall rate of mother to child transmission of HIV in this study was 3.9% (95% CI 1.1%- 6.7%). However, in children breastfed for 3 months or less, the rate of transmission was 10% (95% CI −2.5%-22.5%), compared to 3.5% (95% CI 0.5%-6.5%) in children that had

TY - JOUR. T1 - Characteristics of Syncope Admissions among Hospitals of Varying Teaching Intensity. AU - Ellenbogen, Michael. AU - Brotman, Daniel. AU - Lee, Jungwha. AU - Koloms, Kimberly. AU - OLeary, Kevin J.. PY - 2019/3/1. Y1 - 2019/3/1. N2 - Objectives Previous work suggests that hospitals teaching status is correlated with readmission rates, cost of care, and mortality. The degree to which teaching status is associated with the management of syncope has not been studied extensively. We sought to characterize the relation between teaching status and inpatient syncope management. Methods We created regression models to characterize the relation between teaching status and cardiac ischemic evaluations (cardiac catheterization and/or stress test) during syncope admissions. Admissions with a primary diagnosis of syncope in Maryland and Kentucky between 2007 and 2014 were included. Results The dataset included 71,341 syncope admissions at 151 hospitals. Overall, 15% of patients had an ...

A Care Quality Commission review of South Bristol Community Hospital (SBCH), carried out as part of routine schedule of planned reviews, has shown that patients privacy, dignity and independence were respected.. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) visited SBCH in August this year and spoke to patients and staff on two rehabilitation wards. Patients told the CQC that they were involved in decisions about their care and discharge from hospital, that they liked the staff and felt safe at the hospital. One patient said that they could not fault the care at the new hospital everyone has been so kind.. The inspection was part of a themed inspection programme by the CQC to assess whether older people in hospitals were treated with dignity and respect and whether their nutritional needs were met. The majority of patients asked commented positively on the food. One person said: could not wish for better even if I went to a hotel, I have no complaints about the food. Another person said: I am asked ...

The Dr Foster Hospital Guide 2013, published today, has highlighted University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust as having significantly lower than expected mortality rates over the past three years and as having lower than expected 28 day emergency readmission rates for patients treated on weekdays and weekends. This is the 12th edition of the Dr Foster Guide which is an independent assessment of NHS hospitals, highlighting variations in care and also celebrating success within the NHS.. Dr Sean OKelly, medical director UH Bristol, says: Our consistently higher than expected survival rates over the past three years are an indication of our constant focus on providing high standards of safety and quality of care to our patients seven days a week. Care out of hours and on weekends is as important as the care patients receive during the week and I am particularly pleased that our emergency readmission rates for patients treated on weekdays and weekends is lower than expected.. However, we ...

A study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that in 2011, sedatives and hypnotics were a leading source for adverse drug events seen in the hospital setting. Approximately 2.8% of all ADEs present on admission and 4.4% of ADEs that originated during a hospital stay were caused by a sedative or hypnotic drug.[23] A second study by AHRQ found that in 2011, the most common specifically identified causes of adverse drug events that originated during hospital stays in the U.S. were steroids, antibiotics, opiates/narcotics, and anticoagulants. Patients treated in urban teaching hospitals had higher rates of ADEs involving antibiotics and opiates/narcotics compared to those treated in urban nonteaching hospitals. Those treated in private, nonprofit hospitals had higher rates of most ADE causes compared to patients treated in public or private, for-profit hospitals.[24]. In the U.S., females had a higher rate of ADEs involving opiates and narcotics than males in 2011, while ...

I spent two years in a community program followed by three in an academic one. I feel fortunate to have perspectives from both. I felt my academic center experience trained me better to work independently (we were largely unsupervised, compared to constantly supervised at the community program). Still, I saw residents from both programs go into fellowships at about an equal rate. Others mileage may vary. ...

Background: Appropriate drug utilization has a huge contribution to global reduction in morbidity and mortality. While thousands of patients have been wrongly prescribed statins, others at high risk of cardiovascular accidents (CVA) have been deprived of treatment. According to the Adult Treatment Panel fourth guidelines (ATP IV), prescription of Lipid Lowering Drugs (LLDs) should not only be based on cholesterol but also on other Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk factors. Methods: A cross sectional design was applied to 140 files of patients at clinic 5 (medical clinic) of the Adult University Teaching Hospital (Adult UTH) and it aimed to determine whether the prescribing patterns of LLDs were in conformity with the ATP IV guidelines. This sample size was based on a 10% (0.1) estimated prevalence of prescriptions containing LLDs in line with the 2014 WHO country profile on Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) which accounted for 23% death estimates in Zambia out of which 8% were ...

up and heads the Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme, led the research.. It started 10 years ago, when researchers were led to the plant by traditional native healers who have used the plant for the treatment of infectious diseases for centuries. This is a very exciting discovery, said Dr Iwu, who himself comes originally from a family of traditional healers. The same forest that yields the dreaded Ebola virus could be a source of the cure. The Nigerian researchers claim they are a step closer to a universally accepted cure for Ebola virus, Dengue fever and leishmaniasis. They claim that the herbal preparation has also been successfully used, in clinical studies, to treat hepatitis B and C, cancer, diabetes and tuberculosis. The researchers from Halamin Herbal centre, 10 George Innih Crescent, Apo District, Abuja and Department of Histopathology and Cytology, Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) Jos, Plateau State, found that the poly herbal preparations- DAABS2 and ...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains is one of the most important community-acquired infections in the world. The presence of virulence factors is closely related with the pathogenesis of UTI. Methods: The present study was conducted on 150 isolates of UPEC obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic cases of UTIs with significant counts (≥105 CFU/ml) during 1 year. UPEC isolates were studied for hemolysis on 5% sheep blood agar, mannose-sensitive hemagglutination (MSHA), mannose-resistant hemagglutination (MRHA), and biofilm formation by recommended methods. Patients with UTI due to UPEC showing virulence factors were evaluated for the treatment received and the outcome of treatment. These were compared with the outcomes of patients whose culture samples grew UPEC without demonstrable virulence factors. Results: The study showed hemolysin production in 40% of the isolates. Forty percent of the isolates showed the presence of P ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Diagnosing acute myocardial infarction with troponins: how low can you go?. AU - Body, R. AU - McDowell, Garry. AU - Carley, S. AU - Ferguson, J. AU - Mackway-Jones, K. PY - 2010. Y1 - 2010. N2 - Background Recent consensus guidelines state that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may be diagnosed in the context of a troponin rise above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit (URL) with the optimal imprecision of the assay (coefficient of variation, CV) being ≤10%. However, at the 99th percentile, modern assays do not have a CV ≤10%. Objective The authors compared the prognostic implications of placing the diagnostic troponin cut-off at the 99th percentile and at the lowest concentration with a CV ≤10% (functional sensitivity). Methods The authors prospectively recruited 804 patients presenting to the Emergency Department of a university-affiliated teaching hospital with suspected ACS. All patients underwent 12 h troponin T testing and were followed up by telephone ...

Canada has a highly regionalized system of neonatal-perinatal care.24 Tertiary level NICU and perinatal services are mostly located at university-affiliated teaching hospitals in major cities and serve distinct geographic regions. Regional tertiary level institutions coordinate care with a network of primary and secondary level facilities throughout each geographic region. Centralized transport systems are coordinated either by regional tertiary level institutions or through a single provincial transport coordinating service. Health services are provided through a tax-funded universal health insurance system. We found that 98% of all NICU admissions received prenatal care before delivery, nearly two thirds of NICU admissions (65%) were for preterm infants and nearly one half of NICU admissions (43%) were retrotransferred to a community facility before discharge home. These results suggest that Canadians generally have good access to a highly organized perinatal health care (including preventive ...

Introduction: Telemetry is increasingly used to monitor patients with lower intensities of care, but its effect on in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) outcomes in non-critical care patients is unknown. We examined the relationship of IHCA with telemetry in non-critical care patients.. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of all patients in non-critical care beds that experienced a cardiac arrest at a large university-affiliated teaching hospital between calendar years 2011 and 2012 was performed. Data were collected as part of AHA Get With the Guidelines protocol. The primary endpoint was Survival to Discharge (SD); secondary endpoints included Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) and Time-to-Death (TD). The independent variable was whether patients were on telemetry. Analysis was performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression for the SD and ROSC endpoints. Additionally, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was employed for TD analyses.. Results: ...
