This study sought to investigate, population level, patient and surgeon characteristics associated use which these factors were predictive radiotherapy. retrospective population-based cohort...
Purpose: To determine the predictive value of age, stroke severity and caregiver availability for discharge destination individuals with severe following inpatient rehabilitation. Methods: Telephone interviews were conducted recovering from a (Rehabilitation Patient Groups 1100 1110), who discharged specialized rehabilitation unit between April 2005 December 2009, to at time discharge.

<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> In prior studies, higher mortality was observed among patients who had elective surgery on a Friday rather than earlier in the week. We investigated whether after associated with day of week Canadian population and association influenced by surgeon experience volume. <h3>METHODS:</h3> conducted population-based retrospective cohort study province Ontario, Canada. included adults underwent 1 12 daytime surgical procedures from Apr. 1, 2002, to Dec. 31, 2012.

Background: Periprosthetic infections after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or knee (TKA) are substantial complications, and there conflicting reports of their association with urologic complications. Our objective was to determine whether urinary tract infection (UTI) acute retention (AUR) significant risk factors for joint THA TKA.
