Background Social and environmental factors play an important role in the rising health care burden of cardiovascular disease. The Centers for Disease Control Prevention developed Vulnerability Index (SVI) from US census data as a tool public officials to identify communities need support setting hazardous event. SVI (ranging least vulnerable score 0 most 1) ranks on 15 social including unemployment, minoritized groups status, disability, them under 4 broad themes: socioeconomic housing...
Up to 10% of patients who develop a nosocomial blood stream infection (BSI) in the hospital have an underlying malignancy. The treatment infections with malignancy often relies on use established guidelines along consideration local microbiology and antibiotic sensitivity patterns possible etiologic agents.This study attempts identify likely agents profile BSIs cancer patients.This was retrospective study.The conducted at tertiary care center for patients, which samples representing sent...
Introduction Current abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) assessment relies on analysis of AAA diameter and growth rate. However, evidence demonstrates that pathology varies among patients morphometric alone is insufficient to precisely predict individual rupture risk. Biomechanical parameters, such as pressure-normalized principal wall strain ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="IM1"><mml:mover><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi...
Patients with cancer are predisposed to infections. Antimicrobial patterns and antibiotic sensitivity change increasing age, making choice of empirical therapy more complicated.This single-center study aims try assess the influence age on microbiology organisms causing infection in patients malignant disease.The five most common bacterial pathogens isolated were Pseudomonas sp (245, 26.2%) > Enterocococcus (109, 11.66%) Staphylococcus aureus (107, 11.44%) Escherichia coli (106, 11.34%)...
Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects millions of Americans each year and can lead to high levels resource utilization through emergency department (ED) visits inpatient stays. Hypothesis We hypothesized that referral patients a dedicated Center for AF from the ED would reduce costs care. Methods The University Pittsburgh serves as rapid center with avoid unnecessary admissions provide specialized Patients presented met prespecified criteria were directed outpatient follow‐up...
<b>Background: </b> Infection is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. In most these cases empirical treatment provided because the focus infection not identified. Empiric antibiotics to patients are based on isolates, sensitivity, guidelines. Here we have compared three recommended as by Infectious Disease Society America (IDSA). <b> Aims: To compare antibiotic sensitivities for gram negative isolates at our institute. Objective: choose optimal developing infections....
Determinants of long-term survival after sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) are not fully elucidated. We investigated the impact patients' socioeconomic status (SES) on mortality in SCA survivors.To investigate association between SES, as estimated by median household income zip code residence, and SCA.We analyzed electronic medical records patients who presented to our institution with 2000 2012 were discharged alive. Patients stratified into quartiles their home code. Baseline characteristics...
<b>Background:</b> Infection is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in cancer patients. Organisms are becoming resistant to antibiotics; age appears be one the factors responsible. We analyzed organisms their antibiotic sensitivity pattern correlation with age. <b>Methods:</b> This single institutional, retrospective analysis all culture positive adult pediatric patients from January 2007 December 2007. For statistical analysis, Chi-square test for trend was used <i>P</i> values were...
e19533 Background: The standard empirical broad-spectrum-intravenous-antibiotic (AB) treatment and hospitalisation though safe lead to over-treatment of substantial group patients. Validation parameters identify low-risk febrile neutropenia (FN) that can be safely treated in an outpatient setting with minimal/no AB needed. Methods: A retrospective analysis validate risk assessment model FN patients from January 2007 December 2008 done. Inclusion criteria were histologic diagnosis malignancy,...
