Abstract The prognosis of a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia is uncertain. Our objective was to establish predictive model disease progression facilitate early decision-making. A retrospective study performed patients admitted pneumonia, classified as severe (admission the intensive care unit, mechanic invasive ventilation, or death) non-severe. based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological parameters built. probability estimated by logistic regression analysis. Calibration discrimination...
The relationship between obesity and asthma exacerbations is still under debate. aim of our work to analyse the hospital re-admissions in asthmatics. A review was retrospectively performed on all admissions adult patients due exacerbation occurring for 11 years. All those cases with as first diagnosis discharge report were included, or second provided when respiratory infection failure. Only admission each patient included this study. Odds Ratios a higher incidence early/late readmissions...
The nature of pulmonary embolism (PE) without identifiable risk factor (IRF) remains unclear. objective this study is to investigate the potential relationship between cardiovascular factors (CVRFs) and PE IRF (unprovoked) assess their role as markers disease severity prognosis.
This study assesses the impact of an electronic physician-to-physician consultation program on waiting list and costs a Pulmonology Unit.A prepost intervention was conducted after new ambulatory pulmonary care protocol implemented capacity unit adopted. In model, physicians at all levels healthcare send consultations to specialists.In preintervention year (2019), Unit attended 7,055 (466 e-consultations 6,589 first face-to-face visits), which decreased 6,157 (3,934 2,223 visits; 12.7%...
Abstract Introduction Inhaled antibiotics reduce the frequency of exacerbations. The objective was to assess efficacy inhaled ceftazidime in patients with non‐cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) and concomitant chronic bronchial infection (CBI) caused by potentially pathogenic microorganisms (PPM) other than Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). Material Method Quasi‐experimental study 21 exacerbations who developed CBI a PPM PA. Results Bacterial resolved 85.7% patients. Rehospitalizations, length...
BACKGROUND: Advanced chronic diseases are a significant health problem. The aim of this study was to assess the effects an in-home care intervention program on emergency and hospital admissions in these patients.METHODS: A quasi-experimental including non-concurrent one-year pre- during intervention. sample composed 104 patients (64 men; mean age 70.7±13.2 years [range 31-93]), which 47 (45,2%) had neuromuscular disease; 35 (33.6%) COPD; 11 (10.6%) obesity hypoventilation syndrome; 8 (7.7%)...
