To determine whether there is an increased odds of mortality among trauma patients treated at hospitals with higher proportions minority (ie, black and Hispanic combined).
<h3>Background</h3>Recent debate concerns the most appropriate definition of hypotension. Some have advocated raising systolic blood pressure (BP) threshold to 110 mm Hg while others favor 80 Hg.<h3>Hypothesis</h3>The optimal hypotension differs by age group.<h3>Design</h3>An analysis was performed trauma victims 18 years and older in National Trauma Data Bank, excluding burn injury patients those with incomplete data.<h3>Setting</h3>Injured who were hospitalized various centers across...
Introduction: Previous reports have suggested that black patients a higher rate of major lower extremity amputation and revascularization for limb salvage when compared to white patients. Objective: We undertook this study determine the extent ethnic disparity in recent years evaluate whether widespread adoption endovascular techniques has had an impact on disparity. Methods: The American College Surgeons’ National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried identify...
This study investigates whether ethnic minorities presenting with critical limb ischemia (CLI) are more likely to undergo major amputation compared white patients. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was used identify all patients admitted CLI; lower extremity revascularization; and from 1998 2005. NIS identified 240 139 CLI--68.2% white, 19.5% black, 9.0% Hispanic, 1.24% Asian. In all, 83 328 underwent revascularization--73.7% 15.9% 7.4% 1.1% majority of the interventions were...
Background:The literature reports the efficacy of laparoscopic approach to paraesophageal hiatal hernia repair. However, its adoption as preferred surgical and risks associated with repair have not been reviewed in a large database.Method:The Nationwide Inpatient Sample dataset was queried from 1998 2005 for patients who underwent complicated (the entire stomach moves into chest cavity) versus uncomplicated (only upper part protrudes chest) via laparoscopic, open abdominal, or thoracic...
