BACKGROUND Frailty syndrome (FS) is a well-established predictor of outcomes in geriatric patients. The aim this study was to quantify the prevalence FS trauma patients and determine its association with readmissions, repeat falls, mortality at 6 months. METHODS we performed 2-year (2012–2013) prospective cohort analysis all consecutive (age, ≥ 65 years) assessed using Trauma-Specific Index (TSFI). Patients were stratified into: nonfrail, TSFI ≤ 0.12; prefrail, = 0.1 0.27; frail, > 0.27....
Failure-to-rescue (FTR) (defined as death from a major complication) is considered an index of hospital quality in trauma patients. However, the role frailty FTR events remains unclear. We hypothesized that rate higher elderly frail patients.We performed prospective cohort study all (age ≥ 65 years) patients presenting at our level one center. Patient's status was calculated utilizing Trauma Specific Frailty Index (TSFI) within 24 hours admission. Patients were stratified into non-frail,...
The adverse effects of stress on the wellness trauma team members are well established; however, level has never been quantitatively assessed. aim our study was to assess using subjective data and objective heart rate variability (HRV) among attending surgeons (ASs), junior residents (JRs) (PGY2/PGY3), senior (SRs) (PGY5/PGY6) during activation emergency surgery.We preformed a prospective enrolling participants over eight 24-hour calls in Level I center. Stress assessed based decrease HRV,...
Background Emerging literature in acute appendicitis favors the nonoperative management of appendicitis. However, actual use this practice on a national level is not assessed. The aim study was to assess changing trends and its effects patient outcomes. Methods We did an 8-year (2004–2011) retrospective analysis National Inpatient Sample database. included all inpatients with diagnosis Patients appendiceal abscess or patients who underwent surgery for any other pathology were excluded from...
Falls down stairs are a common presentation to the paediatric emergency department. The pattern of injury associated with this mechanism has not been described for UK population. A retrospective analysis attendances Emergency Department Sheffield Children's Hospital was carried out.Overall 90% (216/239) patients sustained one or more injuries; 69% (165/239) minor head and facial 12% (29/239) soft tissue injuries other regions; 10% (23/239) had limb fractures, which 60% (14/23) were upper...
The aim of our study was to assess the impact helmet legislations on incidence and mortality rate motorcycle collision (MCC)-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) in young adult trauma patients. A 1-year (2011) retrospective analysis performed all patients under 21 years old with trauma-related hospitalization using Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (representing 20% in-patient admissions). Patients MCC were identified E-codes. States classified into three groups based legislations:...
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and nonfatal injury among young adults. The aims this study were to assess magnitude distracted driving (DD) students examine effectiveness awareness campaign against DD. We hypothesized that DD is prevalent educational efforts such as can effectively reduce it.This was conducted within University Arizona has a student enrollment 42,000 students. our prospective interventional in four phases at university campus. Phase 1 involved 1-week...
Disparities in the management of patients with various medical conditions are well established. Colorectal diseases continue to remain one most common causes for surgical intervention. The aim this study was assess disparities (rural versus urban) noncancerous benign colorectal diseases. We hypothesized that there is no difference among rural urban centers (UC) national estimates procedures from National Inpatient Sample database 2011 representing 20 per cent all in-patient admissions were...
Objective: To evaluate the effect of monochromatic infrared photo energy (MIRE™) combined with physical therapy in reducing pain, improving sensation, and increasing balance patients peripheral neuropathy.Methods: Pain [VAS scale], diminished foot sensation [Semmes Weinstein Monofilament 5.07], deficits [Tinetti Assessment Tool] 272 patients, average age 69 years, were documented before after receiving treatments at eight clinics.Results: Neuropathic impairments baseline present 93%...
Abstract Disclosure: A. Hassan: None. S. Almardini: F. Arafa: L. Aoun: Hyperglycemia is associated with medical complications such as poor wound healing, immunocompromised state, prolonged hospital stay, and even death. Studies have shown that patients type II diabetes who sustain a hip fracture an increased risk of mortality, presumably due to the post-operative like postoperative pneumonia, deep surgical site infections, delirium. Our study aims determine if initial glucose on admission...
