Abstract The aim of this study was to quantify the excess cases pediatric and maternal disease, death, costs attributable suboptimal breastfeeding rates in United States. Using current literature on associations between health outcomes for nine five diseases, we created Monte Carlo simulations modeling a hypothetical cohort U.S. women followed from age 15 70 years their children birth 20 years. We examined disease using (a) 2012 (b) assuming that 90% infants were breastfed according medical...
Objective: Many mothers of very low birthweight infants are breast pump-dependent for weeks or months and need a pump that is efficient, effective, comfortable, convenient. Study design: This multisite, blinded, randomized clinical trial compared the efficiency, efficacy, comfort, convenience Symphony® (Medela, McHenry, IL) (SBP) to Classic® (Medela) (CBP) also these same outcome measures single- multiphase suction patterns used in SBP. All 100 initiated lactation with CBP were SBP when...
Human milk (HM) feeding is associated with lower incidence and severity of costly prematurity-specific morbidities compared to formula in very low birth weight (VLBW; <1,500 g) infants. However, the costs providing HM are not routinely reimbursed by payers can be a significant barrier for mothers. This study determined initial maternal cost 100 mL VLBW infants during early neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay.This secondary analysis examined data from 111 mothers who provided their NICU...
Background: Human milk from the biologic mother (HM) reduces disease burden and associated costs of care during after neonatal intensive unit (NICU) hospitalization for very low birth weight (VLBW; < 1500 g) infants, when compared to feedings donor human (DHM) or commercial formula (CF). However, DHM CF, little is known about institutional cost acquire HM mother. Objective: This study aimed determine acquiring VLBW infant NICU hospitalization. Methods: analysis examined 157 maternal...
We sought to determine the impact of changes in breastfeeding rates on population health.We used a Monte Carlo simulation model estimate population-level disease burden associated with marginal any at each month from birth 12 months life, and exclusive 6 life. these estimates construct an interactive online calculator (available www.usbreastfeeding.org/saving-calc ). The Institutional Review Board Cambridge Health Alliance exempted study.Using our calculator, we found that 5% point increase...
Purpose: Milk output from the right and left breasts was compared in mothers who were pumping exclusively had not yet fed their infants at breast. Methods: Thirty-five of very low birthweight established lactation with a hospital grade, electric, dual pump, recorded milk separately for each breast during every session enrollment until completion study (mean = 19.8 days) using standardized log. also weighed six observed expressions over 2-week period study. Results: For sessions (n 210),...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this pilot study was to determine what influence a nurse residency program (NRP) has on long-term outcomes including turnover rates, career satisfaction, and leadership development. BACKGROUND: Studies examining short-term NRPs have shown positive effects. Long-term studies not been reported. METHODS: This descriptive surveyed former residents, still employed at the facility. Data were collected by means demographic tool McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale, job...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to support patients with cardiopulmonary failure in the intensive care unit. The purpose of this study determine what professional qualifications, equipment, and tests are by established ECMO programs registered Life Support Organization (ELSO). A survey link (Survey-Monkey) was e-mailed 110 ELSO program coordinators. Forty-nine responses were received. test binomial portions showed that nurses more likely be providers than respiratory...
Although the American Academy of Pediatrics and Congress Obstetricians Gynecologists recommend obtaining temperature in newborn infants via axilla, controversy still exists whether to obtain rectal or axillary temperatures. Of concern is risk perforating rectum colon during temperature-taking. The purpose this study was explore accuracy electronic thermometer measuring axilla compared with full-term infants.This an agreement involving a purposive sample who were greater than 37 weeks'...
Objective: Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) and Horizon Hospice opened the first centralized inpatient hospice unit (CIPU) in a Chicago academic medical center 2012. This study examined if there was difference cost or length of stay (LOS) CIPU compared to care scattered beds throughout RUMC. Study Design Methods: retrospective, cross-sectional LOS for patients admitted (n = 141) those (SBM) RUMC 56). Results: The had median 6.0 days versus 2.0 SBM patients. Conclusions: longer but lower...
McArdle disease is a rare (RD) of muscle metabolism, which caused by deficiency the enzyme myophosphorylase. The cardinal feature this metabolic myopathy exercise, or more specifically, activity intolerance. limited prevalence translates into global challenge specialist care for patient cohort. Without access to informed clinical management, many affected individuals continue be undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and/or experience delays in diagnosis. And those that do receive corrected diagnosis,...
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) prisoner population is diverse and includes immigration violators, fugitives that have evaded apprehension, perpetrators of Medicaid fraud, parole probation violators. Unlike state local jails, the USMS has numerous housing options for its prisoners. Given unique characteristics, federal prisoners' quality care, subsequent clinical outcomes, may differ from those inmates. However, little known about hospitalization rates length stay HIV-positive purpose this...
