Background and Purpose: Epidemiological studies on the extent of interaction and/or influence stroke severity clinical outcomes are important. The aim present study was to investigate putative (and degree of) impact initial in predicting overall functional outcome, in-hospital placement, mortality acute ischemic (AIS) comparison with age, admission unit thrombolytic treatment. Materials Methods: John Hunter Hospital register used collect a retrospective cohort AIS patients being assessed for...
The Hunter area in New South Wales, Australia, is a well-defined geographical with population of 578,486 (2006). This paper presents trends from 1996 to 2008 for prospectively registered hospital admissions adults aged 20 years and above acute stroke.Crude, age-standardised age-specific stroke attack rates per 100,000 case fatality at standard time points were calculated. A medical record audit mimics was undertaken determine discharge coding accuracy.9,796 events among 8,830 individuals 14...
California was the epicentre of current Great Recession. Due to its economic structure, open economy, political institutions and other factors, it has a starring role in four-fold US crisis underway—housing, urban, industrial fiscal. First, disproportionately large player mortgage markets banks engaged worst excesses housing bubble. Second, exhibited disproportionate activity sector among 50 states had most unaffordable housing, making borrowers susceptible overreach. Third, state is...
Exposure to air pollution is associated with increased cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the evidence regarding short-term effect of on hospitalisations in areas relatively low levels limited. This study aims examine exposure different pollutants hospital admissions due diseases rural regional Australia pollution.

Exposure to ambient air pollution is strongly associated with increased cerebrovascular diseases. The 2019-20 bushfire season in Australia burnt 5.4 million hectares of land New South Wales alone, smoke so severe it affected cities Argentina, 11,000 km away. emitted by bushfires consists both gaseous and particle components. It important note that exposure particulate matter has been shown be linked a heightened risk stroke, which the primary kind illness, as well an likelihood...
The study aimed to provide a recommended list of performance indicators from routinely collected data that measure most aspects the patient journey through emergency department (ED).Data large tertiary ED were used investigate proposed indicators, which fell into 7 categories: background information, time arrival triage, triage treatment, length stay, readmission rate, left without being seen, and deaths in ED.Category 1 patients triaged, treated, discharged rapidly. For category 2 patients,...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality residing in rural remote region associated with an increased risk. The impact rurality on CVD outcomes needs to be fully elucidated.
Cancer and heart disease are the two most common health conditions in world, associated with high morbidity mortality, even worse outcomes regional areas. Cardiovascular is leading cause of death cancer survivors. We aimed to evaluate cardiovascular patients receiving treatment (CT) a hospital.This was an observational retrospective cohort study single rural hospital over ten-year period (17th February 2010 19th March 2019). Outcomes all CT during this were compared those who admitted...
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are highly effective anti-cancer treatments for several cancers. However, treatment with ICIs is associated metabolic perturbations, accelerated atherosclerosis, and increased risks of adverse cardiovascular events. In this study, we aimed to determine risk factors cardiac hospital admissions in patients treated their cancer. Methods: Retrospective data was collected all between 1 January 2010 2020 through the Hunter New England Local Health...
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are urgent, serious immune reactions in which there is skin loss severe ulcers the mouth, eyes genital areas. It affects about 5‐6 people per million under 18 years of age U.K. each year. has a mortality (causes death in) 5‐10% re‐occurs up to 18% survivors. The British Association Dermatologists led group relevant experts examine evidence developing guidelines aid diagnosis management SJS/TEN children young people. As with...
Continuous surveillance of stroke admissions has been conducted in the Hunter region, Australia, over past two decades. We aimed to describe trends incidence rates hospitalised and case-fatality this 2001-2019.From a hospital-based registry, data for admitted adult patients residing region were collected using ICD-10 codes ischemic haemorrhagic stroke. Negative binomial regression logistic analysis used analyse age-standardised age-specific 28-day rates.A total 14,662 hospitalisations 13,242...
Abstract Background Exposure to ambient air pollution is strongly associated with increased cerebrovascular diseases. The 2019–20 bushfire season in Australia burnt 5.4 million hectares of land New South Wales alone, smoke so severe it affected cities Argentina, 11,000 km away. We aimed determine the effects i) short-term triggered by bushfires and ii) high days increasing daily number hospital admissions Methods Hospitalisation data were accessed from admitted patient dataset seven local...
