Postsurgical readmissions are common and vary by procedure. They significant drivers of increased expenditures in the health care system. Reducing is a national priority that has summoned effort resources. Before impact quality improvement efforts can be measured, baseline procedure-related 30-day all-cause readmission rates needed. The objects this study were to determine population-level, 30-day, for cranial neurosurgery identify factors associated with readmission.The authors identified...
Background As the global climate changes in response to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, weather and temperature are expected become increasingly variable. Although heat sensitivity is a recognized clinical feature of multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic demyelinating disorder central nervous system, few studies have examined implications change for patients with this disease. Methods findings We conducted retrospective cohort study individuals MS ages 18–64 years nationwide United States...
Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) are administratively coded identifiers of potentially preventable adverse events. These indicators used for multiple purposes, including benchmarking and quality improvement efforts. Baseline PSI evaluation in high-risk surgeries is fundamental to both purposes.Determine rates their impact on other outcomes patients undergoing cranial neurosurgery compared with surgeries.The Agency Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) software was flag events determine...
We demonstrated that hydrophobic derivatives of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)flufenamic acid (FA), can be formed into stable nanometer-sized prodrugs (nanoprodrugs) inhibit growth glioma cells, suggesting their potential application as anticancer agent. synthesized highly monomeric and dimeric FA via esterification prepared nanoprodrugs using spontaneous emulsification mechanism. The were in size range 120 to 140 nm physicochemically upon long-term storage aqueous...
Objectives Quality and safety improvement are global priorities. In the last two decades, United States has introduced several payment reforms to improve patient safety. The Agency for Healthcare Research (AHRQ) developed tools identify preventable inpatient adverse events using administrative data, indicators (PSIs). aim of this study was assess changes in national trends that corresponded U.S. pay-for-performance reforms. Methods This is a retrospective, longitudinal analysis estimate...
Glioblastoma (GBM) treatment requires access to complex medical services, and the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (ACA) sought expand health care, including oncologic care. Whether implementation of ACA was subsequently associated with changes in 1-year survival GBM is not known.A retrospective cohort study performed using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database. We identified patients primary diagnosis between 2008 2016. A multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To describe an adult-onset case of transverse myelitis associated with enterovirus (Coxsackie B5) infection. <h3>Background:</h3> Both Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) and longitudinally-extensive (LETM) are more commonly pediatric enteroviral infections than adult infections. However, we present AFM due to Coxsackie B5 virus atypical pattern on spinal imaging. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> N/A <h3>Results:</h3> A 55-year-old male presented acute urinary retention lower extremity...
