Importance Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue and poor survival. Racial ethnic minority populations face the greatest risk morbidity mortality from disparities impacting respiratory health, but pattern age at clinically relevant outcomes across diverse racial with PF unknown. Objective To compare PF-related heterogeneity in survival patterns among Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, White participants. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study...
Abstract Objectives We applied three electronic triggers to study frequency and contributory factors of missed opportunities for improving diagnosis (MOIDs) in pediatric emergency departments (EDs): return visits within 10 days resulting admission (Trigger 1), care escalation 24 h ED presentation 2), death visit 3). Methods created an query reporting template the them health record systems five EDs from 2019. Clinician reviewers manually screened identified charts initially categorized as...
Abstract Background The validated Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) prediction rules are meant to aid clinicians in safely reducing unwarranted imaging children with minor head injuries (MHI). Even so, computed tomography (CT) scan utilization remains high, especially intermediate‐risk (per PECARN) MHI patients. primary objective of this quality improvement initiative was reduce CT rates the Methods This project conducted a Level I trauma pediatric emergency...
Emergency departments (ED) globally are addressing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with varying degrees of success. We leveraged 17-country, Medicine Education & Research by Global Experts (EMERGE) network and non-EMERGE ED contacts to understand emergency preparedness practices when combating COVID-19 pandemic.We electronically surveyed EMERGE EDs from April 3-June 1, 2020 on capacity, plans, triage methods, staffing, supplies, communication practices. The survey was...
The recommended amount of occlusion therapy and amblyopia treatment success rates remains controversial. This study explores attempts to address limitations previous literature.A retrospective chart review was performed on patients with outcomes from 2012 2019. Equal visual acuity (VA) or stable VA for three consecutive clinical visits, despite reported good compliance defined outcome VA.Results showed 90.3% subjects obtained distance 0.3logMAR, 76% ≥0.3logMAR, 35% ≥0.2logMAR, 6% ≥0.1logMAR...
This study aimed to calculate the dose-response relationship and predictors of visual acuity (VA) improvement following occlusion therapy at IWK Health Center Eye Clinic add amblyopia literature. A retrospective chart review was performed, considering patients who reached an outcome between 2012 2019. The treatment defined as equal VA or stable for three consecutive clinical visits despite reported compliance. Subjective patching hours from parental reports, not prescribed hours, were used...
<h3></h3> High resolution anorectal manometry is useful tool for determining function, but can be difficult to perform the full awake procedure in paediatric settings due stigma surrounding intimate procedures on children and anxiety part of young person, many centres mainly investigate function under sedation. At our tertiary centre, we routinely high people all ages with only rare occasions where no data at collected. We retrospectively reviewed last 100 patients attend centre collected...
TITLE: A Quality Improvement initiative to decrease chest x-ray utilization for asthma and bronchiolitis in a Pediatric Emergency Department Background: Asthma are common emergency department presentations. Chest x-rays (CXRs) these diagnoses not routinely recommended, but often obtained. Reducing unnecessary CXRs minimize cost, radiation exposure, length of stay aligns clinical practice with current evidence based recommendations. Objective: To reduce CXR patients by 25% from baseline value...
