Emergency department (ED) shift handoffs are sources of potential medical error, delays in care, and medicolegal liabilities. Few handoff studies exist the ED literature. We aimed to describe implementation a standardized checklist for improving situational awareness during physician pediatric ED.This is descriptive observational study large academic ED.

BackgroundWe have found that community health workers (CHWs) with appropriate training are able to accurately identify people at high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the who would benefit from introduction of preventative management, Bangladesh, Guatemala, Mexico, and South Africa. This paper examines attendance pattern for those individuals were so identified referred a care facility further assessment management.DesignPatient records centres each site reviewed data on diagnoses made...
Background. Despite some advances, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and healthcare costs in United States. We therefore developed a comprehensive CVD policy simulation model that identifies cost-effective approaches for reducing burden. This paper aims to: 1) describe our detail; 2) perform validation analyses. Methods. The simulates 1,000,000 adults (ages 35 to 80 years) using variety CVD-related epidemiological data, including previously calibrated...
The aims of the study were to determine factors associated with poor outcome in childhood swimming pool submersions and association bystander resuscitation clinical outcome.This was a retrospective submersion victims younger than 18 years metropolitan area from 2003 2007. Submersion, prehospital, victim data obtained hospital, Emergency Medical Services, fatality records. Outcome based on survival at hospital discharge favorable (baseline/mild impairment) or (death/severe impairment)....
Clinical practice group performance on quality measures associated with chronic disease management has become central to reimbursement. Therefore, it is important determine whether commonly used process and control for conditions correlate utilization-based outcomes, as they do in acute disease.To examine the associations among clinical diabetes measures, including outcomes.This retrospective, cross-sectional analysis examined commercial claims data from a national health insurance plan.

Claims data, which form the foundation of risk adjustment in payment for health care services, may reflect efforts to capture more—or more severe—clinical conditions rather than true changes status. This can distort payments. We quantify this context Medicare's accountable organization (ACO) program by comparing scores derived from two different measurement approaches. One approach uses diagnoses coded on claims based Centers Medicare and Medicaid Services Hierarchical Condition Categories...
Although National Asthma Guidelines recommend that emergency department (ED) physicians consider initiating controller medications, research suggests this practice occurs infrequently. The goal of study was to assess primary care pediatricians' (PCP) beliefs and attitudes regarding ED initiation medications for children with persistent asthma symptoms.This a cross-sectional mail survey randomly selected national sample pediatricians from the American Academy Pediatrics. posed questions...
Sevelamer hydrochloride (Renagel) is frequently used as a second-line phosphate binder in patients on renal replacement therapy. Many studies have shown that sevelamer can improve vascular calcification, serum uric acid and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. The main objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy against calcium-based binders, well its tolerability side-effect profile.This was retrospective included all therapy (between 2008 2011) who had previously...
Introduction: Brunei Darussalam does not have an in-house transplant program. All patients with renal transplants were transplanted abroad. The country has 560 on replacement therapy (81.2% Haemodialysis, 12.3% Peritoneal Dialysis and 6.5% transplantation) (1) a dialysis prevalence of 1300 per million population (2).A recent survey revealed that 81% respondents are willing to donate their kidneys if there is local program (2). There no published data regarding the quality life Darussalam.As...

Introduction: Changes in food prices can lead to healthier dietary patterns. Recent meta-analyses suggest the responses differ by category with respect impact on disease outcome. Hypothesis: We tested hypothesis that a 10% subsidy price of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, tax sugar-sweetened beverages, would have differential effects CVD mortality, non-fatal MI stroke, diabetes over 5-year period through 20-year U.S. Methods: used an individual-based microsimulation risk prediction model...
Background This study investigated real-world time on treatment (rwToT) and overall survival (OS) for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) who initiated first-line (1L) pembrolizumab monotherapy. We also explored discontinuation reasons subsequent treatments, stratified by number of cycles among those completed ≥17 1L pembrolizumab. Methods Patients mNSCLC without actionable genetic aberrations, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-2...
