Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious and potentially fatal complication of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). Still, there are no universally accepted treatment regimens for patients with OAT-ICH, randomized controlled trials do not exist. The aim present study was to compare acute strategies OAT-associated ICH using vitamin K (VAK), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) regard hematoma growth outcome.In this retrospective study, a total 55 treated...
Background: Complaints of vertigo and dizziness are common in primary care the aged. They can be caused by distinct vestibular disorders, but also a symptom other conditions like non-vestibular sensory loss, vascular encephalopathy or anxiety. The aim this study was to investigate specific contribution total burden disability aged persons when controlling for presence health conditions. Methods: Data originate from MONICA/KORA study, population-based cohort. Survivors original cohorts who...
Objective: To identify goals of older patients in geriatric rehabilitation and to measure their improvement overall functioning.Design: A prospective multi-centre cohort study.Methods: semi-structured questionnaire was used patient assess functioning from patients' health professionals' perspectives.Patients' were linked the International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF).Using a residualized change score, we identified who improved more than statistically expected.Results:...
Abstract In 2017, the term “persistent postural-perceptual dizziness” (PPPD) was coined by Bárány Society, which provided explicit criteria for diagnosis of functional vertigo and dizziness disorders. PPPD can originate secondarily after an organic disorder (s-PPPD) or primarily on its own, in absence somatic triggers (p-PPPD). The aim this database-driven study 356 patients from a tertiary center to describe typical demographic clinical features p-PPPD s-PPPD patients. Patients underwent...
Objective: Timely goal setting in close collaboration with the patient is essential to successful rehabilitation.We therefore sought identify goals of patients early post-acute rehabilitation as predictors improved functioning.Design: We conducted a prospective multi-centre cohort study 5 facilities.Patients: Patients musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and neurological conditions were recruited between May 2005 August 2008.Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire was used assess improvement...
Today industrialized countries face a burgeoning aged population. Thus, there is increasing attention on the functioning and disabilities of adults as potential determinants autonomy independent living. However, are few representative findings prevalence disability in persons German The objective our study to examine frequency, distribution assess contribution diseases disability. Data originate from MONICA/KORA study, population-based epidemiological cohort. Survivors original cohorts who...
Objective: Uni- or bilateral vestibular hypofunction (VH) impairs balance and mobility, may specifically lead to injury from falls disability. The extent of this problem in the general population is still unknown most likely be underestimated. Objective study was determine prevalence, determinants, consequences VH population. Methods: Data originates cross-sectional second follow-up (FF4) 2013/14 KORA (Cooperative Health Research Region Augsburg)-S4 (1999-2001) Southern Germany. This a...
Abstract Objective: The number of hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) does not differentiate between admitted due to disease 2019 (COVID-19) (ie, primary cases) and incidental SARS-CoV-2 infection cases). We developed an adaptable method distinguish cases from upon hospital admission. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Data were obtained 3 German tertiary-care hospitals. Patients: study included all ages who tested positive...
Background Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a frequent chronic functional disorder that manifests with dizziness, unsteadiness, or non-spinning vertigo present for at least 3 months. Characteristic provocation factors are moving complex visual stimuli and exclusion of organic diseases. To assess the severity impact PPPD, Japanese researchers developed Niigata PPPD Questionnaire (NPQ). The study's aim was to evaluate concurrent construct validity reliability [including...
Objective The aim of this world-wide survey was to evaluate the currently applied treatment options for six most frequent peripheral vestibular disorders: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP)/vestibular neuritis, Menière’s disease (MD), bilateral (BVP), paroxysmia (VP) and superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS). Background For therapy disorders, there are four options: physical (canalith repositioning maneuvers or balance training),...
Bithermal caloric irrigation of the horizontal semicircular canals is a key method neurotological diagnostics, allowing detection peripheral vestibular hypofunction in low-frequency range. Current diagnostic criteria for unilateral vestibulopathy (UVP), bilateral (BVP), and presbyvestibulopathy (PVP) rely on gender-neutral absolute or relative metrics. Here, we analyzed all bithermal water examinations performed German Center Vertigo Balance Disorders (DSGZ) between 07/2018 01/2024...
Aims of this study were to identify aspects functioning and health relevant patients with vertigo expressed by ICF categories explore the potential describe patient perspective in vertigo. We conducted a series qualitative semi-structured face-to-face interviews using descriptive approach. Data was analyzed meaning condensation procedure then linked International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF). From May July 2010 12 carried out until saturation reached. Four hundred...
Linear motion perceptual thresholds (PTs) were compared between patients with Menière's disease (MD) and vestibular migraine (VM). Twenty VM, 27 MD 34 healthy controls (HC) examined. PTs for linear along the inter-aural (IA), naso-occipital axes (NO), head-vertical (HV) axis measured using a multi-axis platform. Ocular cervical evoked myogenic potentials (o/c VEMP) performed dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) administered. In order to discriminate VM MD, we also evaluated diagnostic accuracy...
Management decisions regarding quality and quantity of nurse staffing have important consequences for hospital budgets. Furthermore, these management must address the nursing care requirements particular patients within an organizational unit. In order to determine optimal needs, extent workload first be known. Nursing is largely a function composite patients' individual health status, particularly with respect functioning need care, severity symptoms. The International Classification...
To identify goals of patients with rehabilitation needs in the acute hospital setting using International Classification Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), to examine association goal achievement improvement overall functioning, whether ICF Core Sets for cover goals.Multi-centre cohort study.A total 397 (50% female, mean age 63 years) from 5 hospitals Austria, Switzerland Germany.A semi-structured questionnaire was used assess patient achievement. Overall functioning patients' health...
Objective: To examine the relevance and completeness of comprehensive International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF) Core Sets for patients with rehabilitation needs in acute hospital care.Design: Multi-centre cohort study.Patients: A total 391 (50.1% female, mean age 63.4 years) from 4 university hospitals Austria, Germany Switzerland one Austrian general hospital.Methods: Data on functioning were collected using respective ICF Sets.Data extracted patients' medical record...
