The risk of mortality associated with acute renal failure (ARF) after open-heart surgery continues to be distressingly high. Accurate prediction ARF provides an opportunity develop strategies for early diagnosis and treatment. aim this study was a clinical score predict postoperative by incorporating the effect all its major factors. A total 33,217 patients underwent at Cleveland Clinic Foundation (1993 2002). primary outcome that required dialysis. scoring model developed in randomly...
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare but significant complication of pulmonary isolation (PVI). Dilation and stent angioplasty have been described not compared.All percutaneous interventions for PVS complicating PVI between December 2000 March 2007 were reviewed. Acute success, defined as post-intervention <or=30%, long-term outcome dilation versus compared. Freedom from restenosis was freedom repeat intervention. Overall all examined. We studied 34 patients with 55 stenotic veins...
To describe mortality rates, causes of death, and potential risk factors in pediatric rheumatic diseases the US.We used Indianapolis Pediatric Rheumatology Disease Registry, which includes 49,023 patients from 62 centers who were newly diagnosed between 1992 2001. Identifiers matched with Social Security Death Index censored for March 2005. Deaths confirmed by death certificates, referring physicians, medical records. Causes derived chart review or certificate. Standardized ratios (SMRs) 95%...
Children undergoing congenital heart surgery require mechanical ventilation. We sought to identify pre- and intraoperative factors (PrO, IO) associated with successful early extubation <24 hrs.We performed a retrospective chart review of children <36 months old who underwent from January 1998 July 1999.Pediatric intensive care unit in children's hospital.Generalized Estimating Equation models were fit assess the association between PrO IO while accounting for correlation surgeries on same...

Traditional craniofacial resection (tCFR) has been used successfully for of anterior skull base (ASB) tumors. Minimally invasive endoscopic (MIER) also recently; this strategy facilitates superior visualization, avoids facial incisions, and preserves local structures. The goal study was to compare the outcome these two approaches.Retrospective chart analysis conducted identify patients undergoing ASB tumors between January 1995 2003. Demographic data, tumor characteristics, surgical approach...
Glucocorticoids are known to acutely increase blood pressure, suppress inflammation, and precipitate insulin resistance. However, the short-term effects of glucocorticoids on other cardiovascular risk factors remain incompletely characterized.Our objective was determine a short course dexamethasone multiple biomarkers whether suppression morning cortisol in response low-dose is correlated with markers healthy volunteers.We conducted randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.The...
Abstract: To characterize epidemiology and risk factors for respiratory viral infections (RVI) in pediatric lung transplant recipients within the first post‐transplant year, a retrospective multicenter study of from 1988 to 2005 was conducted at 14 centers United States Europe. Data were recorded 1 year post transplant. Associations between RVI continuous categorical assessed using Wilcoxon's rank‐sum χ 2 tests, respectively. time or survival by multivariable Cox proportional hazards models....
A retrospective review of pediatric lung transplant recipients at 14 centers in North America and Europe was conducted to characterize the epidemiology risk factors for cytomegalovirus (CMV) explore impact preventative antiviral therapy.Data were recorded 1 year posttransplant. Associations between CMV continuous categorical assessed using Wilcoxon rank sum chi-square tests, respectively. time or survival by multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.Within 12 months posttransplant, 172...
Background: Whereas breastfeeding initiation rates have risen in all groups throughout the country, of duration changed more slowly. Peer counseling has had some success sustaining breastfeeding, but with intensive programs and variable effects. Objectives: We aimed to improve any exclusive at 1 6 months using a low-intensity peer intervention beginning prenatally. also planned study interaction attitude self-efficacy intervention. Methods: One hundred twenty prenatal women underwent...
Increased abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with systemic inflammation. The influence of VAT on pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been studied. objective this study was to investigate the differences in between patients IBD and age-matched controls identify associations Crohn's (CD) outcomes. Single-center retrospective cohort 114 (101 CD 13 ulcerative colitis) who had computed tomography at diagnosis. volumes were measured from images. A control group 78...
Abstract Background Antibiotic exposure in surgical patients poses risks, contributing both to Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and antibiotic associated diarrhea. While CDI may cause diarrhea, we hypothesized that negative CDT could be a proxy for non-infectious diarrhea aimed discern if broad-spectrum (BS) antibiotics or laxatives influenced CDT. Broad Spectrum Antibiotics Laxative Use In Post-Operative Children with Negative C Test Compared Matched Controls CDT: Testing, DOT: Days...
