AIM:To evaluate the incidence, surgery, mortality, and readmission of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) secondary to peptic ulcer disease (PUD). METHODS:Administrative databases identified all hospitalizations for UGIB PUD in Alberta, Canada from 2004 2010 (n = 7079) using International Classification Diseases Codes (ICD-10).A subset data was validated endoscopy reports.Positive predictive value sensitivity with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.Incidence calculated.Logistic...
Current guidelines recommend staging acute kidney injury (AKI) according to the serum creatinine (SCr) or urine output (UO) criteria that achieve highest stage. There is little information about implications of adding UO SCr measurements for AKI outside intensive care units and after cardiac surgery. We performed a cohort study all adults without end-stage renal disease who underwent major noncardiac surgery between January 2005 March 2011 in Calgary, AB, Canada. Participants required at...
ABSTRACT Background Older persons living with dementia (PLWD) often have multiple other chronic health conditions (i.e., comorbidities). Network analyses can describe complex profiles of through graphical displays grounded in empirical data. Our study compared patterns among PLWD residing and outside long‐term care (LTC) settings. Methods Population‐based administrative data, including outpatient physician claims, inpatient records, pharmaceutical LTC for the were from Canadian province...
Recent studies have demonstrated an association between short-term elevations in air pollution and increased risk of exacerbating gastrointestinal disease. The objective the study was to evaluate if day-to-day increases concentrations were positively associated with upper bleeding (UGIB) secondary peptic ulcer disease (PUD). A time-stratified case-crossover design used. Adults presenting hospitals their first UGIB PUD from 2004–2010 identified using administrative databases Calgary (n =...
Abstract Clinical practice guidelines recommend several routine laboratory tests in patients diagnosed with hypertension. However, the rates of clinically relevant abnormalities are unknown. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using administrative and data hypertension between April 2010 March 2015 Alberta, Canada. Laboratory investigations for renal function, serum electrolytes (sodium potassium), low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes (fasting blood glucose...
ObjectiveTo investigate the rationale and timing of opioid prescriptions for Internal Medicine inpatients in an academic center Saskatoon, Canada.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional study that were prescribed opioids Saskatoon. We examined documentation clinical initiation or first escalation.ResultsOf 57 patients, 34 (60%) naive prior to admission 48 (84%) had doses either initiated escalated. Of these 27 (56%) occurred during on-call hours. Rationale escalation was documented 31 cases...
