<h3>Hypothesis</h3> Although demographic and clinical information are known to affect hospital length of stay (LOS), we hypothesized that LOS after traumatic injury would be significantly influenced by nonclinical factors. <h3>Design</h3> Retrospective database analysis. <h3>Patients</h3> Trauma patients treated at hospitals participating in data submission the National Data Bank. <h3>Methods</h3> The Bank was queried for all older than 18 years with an longer 48 hours complete including...
Abstract Objectives Poor sleep is increasingly recognized as contributing to a decreased quality of life, increased morbidity/mortality and heightened pain perception. The purpose the present study was assess components self‐identified contributors fragmentation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) osteoarthritis (OA) patient populations. Methods Consecutive RA OA clinic patients were invited participate self‐administered questionnaire which included validated multi‐domain Pittsburgh Sleep Quality...
The School of Medicine, University Saskatchewan curriculum promotes self-direction as one its learning philosophies. authors sought to identify changes in self-directed (SDL) readiness during training.Guglielmino's SDL Readiness Scale (SDLRS) was administered five student cohorts (N = 375) at admission and the end every year training, 2006 2010. Scores were analyzed using repeated-measurement analysis. A focus group interviews captured students' instructors' perceptions...
Aging raises wide-ranging issues within social, economic, welfare, and health care systems. Life satisfaction (LS) is regarded as an indicator of quality life which, in turn, associated with mortality morbidity older adults. The objective this study was to identify the relevant predictors investigate changes a multidimensional construct LS over time. This analysis utilized data from large-scale, nationally representative Korean Retirement Income Study (KReIS), longitudinal survey conducted...
Since 2014, programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed ligand (PD-L1) checkpoint inhibitors have been approved by various regulatory agencies for the treatment of multiple cancers including melanoma, lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, renal head and neck classical Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal gastroesophageal hepatocellular other solid tumors. Of these drug/disease combinations, a subset also has agency-approved, commercially available companion/complementary diagnostic assays that...
When a patient experiences an event other than the one of interest in study, usually probability experiencing is altered. By contrast, disease-free survival time analysis by standard methods, such as Kaplan-Meier method and Cox model, does not distinguish different causes presence competing risks. Alternative approaches use cumulative incidence estimator models on cause-specific subdistribution hazards models. We applied to diabetes dataset with two risks (end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or...
Poor sleep health is increasingly recognized as contributing to decreased quality of life, increased morbidity/mortality and heightened pain perception. Our purpose in this study was observe the effect on parameters, specifically efficiency, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) therapy.This a prospective observational RA hypersomnolence/poor defined by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Study...
Abstract Musculoskeletal injuries among health care workers is very high, particularly so in direct involved patient handling. Efforts to reduce have shown mixed results, and strong evidence for intervention effectiveness lacking. The purpose of our study was evaluate the a Transfer, Lifting Repositioning (TLR) program musculoskeletal (MSI) workers. This pre- post-intervention design, utilizing nonrandomized control group. Data were collected from group (3 hospitals; 411 injury cases) 355...
Among older adults, life satisfaction (LS) correlates with health, mortality, and successful ageing. As various potential threats to LS tend increase advancing years, patterns of age-related changes in among adults remain inconsistent. This study aimed identify trajectories the characteristics individuals who experience them.Large-scale, nationally representative, longitudinal data collected from 2005 2013 were analyzed for this study. The outcome measure was a summary multidimensional...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Physical activity guidelines for multiple sclerosis (MS) were first published in 2013. is safe and beneficial MS, yet it unclear if physical levels are changing real-world settings. METHODS: The primary objective of this study to determine the people with MS changing. Between September 1, 2014, February 22, 2022, when accessed a provincial drugs program Saskatchewan, Canada, they invited complete Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire by mail. Scatter plots total...
Objective: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) success rates in patients classified with Friedman stage 3 is reported as 8%. Surgical failure may result from persistent obstruction at the palate, which be addressed by pharyngoplasty palatal advancement (PA). The effectiveness of PA versus UPPP was evaluated using polysomnographic outcomes a retrospective cohort 3. Methods: records were reviewed for (n = 47) and 124). Clinical reclassified stage. Respiratory data collected overnight...
Initial studies suggest pharmaceutical grade cannabidiol (CBD) can reduce the frequency of convulsive seizures and lead to improvements in quality life children affected by epileptic encephalopathies. With limited access CBD, Cannabis extracts oil are becoming increasingly available. Physicians show reluctance recommend given lack high safety data especially regarding potential for harm caused other cannabinoids, such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC). The primary aims study presented this...
We studied children enrolled within 90 days of juvenile idiopathic arthritis diagnosis in the Research Arthritis Canadian Children Emphasizing Outcomes (ReACCh-Out) prospective inception cohort to identify longitudinal trajectories pain severity and features that may predict trajectory at diagnosis. A total 1062 participants were followed a median 24.3 months (interquartile range = 16.0-37.1 months). Latent analysis severity, measured 100-mm visual analogue scale, identified 5 distinct...
There is increasing awareness of the importance sleep in health maintenance. Our primary objective was to evaluate prevalence excess daytime sleepiness a rheumatic disease patient population. Secondary objectives included evaluation abnormal quality and disorders.Consecutive Rheumatology clinic patients were invited participate self-administered questionnaire study. Included measures for pain, fatigue, global functioning, modified Health Assessment Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Score...
The purpose of our study is to determine the accuracy bowel sounds in diagnosis ileus and obstruction.Healthy volunteers (n = 10) patients with radiologically or laparotomy confirmed small obstruction 9) 7) were enrolled. Two 30-second recordings from each subject obtained using an electronic stethoscope. Study physicians 20) then presented 43 blinded fashion asked whether was a normal ileus.Physicians arrived at correct median 30 times out (69.8%). Intra-observer variation (κ 0.72,...
To investigate the beverage intake patterns of Canadian adults and explore characteristics participants in different clusters.Analyses nationally representative data with cross-sectional complex stratified design.Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 2.2 (2004).A total 14 277 aged 19-65 years, whom dietary was assessed using a single 24 h recall, were included study.
