The severe shortage of donor hearts limits the availability transplantation for growing population patients with end-stage heart disease. We examined national trends in acceptance transplant. OPTN data were analyzed all potential adult cardiac organ donors between 1995 and 2010. Donor disposition was categorized as transplanted, declined transplant or other. studied changes probability according to demographic clinical characteristics, nationwide by UNOS region. Of 82 053 hearts, 34%...
Background— Despite a national organ-donor shortage and growing population of patients with end-stage heart disease, the acceptance rate donor hearts for transplantation is low. We sought to identify predictors allograft nonuse, determine whether these are in fact associated adverse recipient post-transplant outcomes. Methods Results— studied cohort 1872 potential organ donors managed by California Transplant Donor Network from 2001 2008. Forty-five percent available allografts were accepted...
Background: Over the past two decades, there have been increasingly long waiting times for heart transplantation. We studied relationship between transplant time and failure (removal from waitlist, pretransplant death, or death graft within 1 year) to determine risk that conservative donor acceptance practices confer in terms of increasing among patients awaiting Methods: a cohort 28,283 adults registered on United Network Organ Sharing list 2000 2010. used Kaplan–Meier methods with inverse...
Pain management is critical for optimal recovery after trauma. Previous work at our institution revealed differences in pain assessment by patient language, which may impact management. This study aimed to understand discharge opioid prescribing trauma patients with limited English proficiency (LEP).We conducted a cross-sectional of adult discharged the community from diverse, urban level 1 center 2018. Opioid prescriptions were obtained pharmacy records and converted standard oral morphine...
Background: Injury prevention and screening efforts have long targeted risk factors for injury recurrence. In a retrospective study, our group found that mental illness is an independent factor unintentional reinjury. The purpose of this study was to administer standard validated instrument psychosocial needs assessment admitted patients who suffer injury. We aimed prospectively measure the prevalence illness. hypothesize systematic psychiatric disorders in trauma feasible identifies people...
Introduction Patients experience high symptom burden during critical care hospitalization and mechanical ventilation. Medications are of limited effectiveness associated with increased morbidity such as delirium long-term cognitive psychological impairments. Music-based interventions have been used for pain anxiety management in but remain understudied terms music selection range symptoms. This study aimed to describe the ways which a diverse sample critically ill adults personalized...
Background— Current regulations require that all cardiac allograft offers for transplantation must include an interpreted 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). However, little is known about the expected ECG findings in potential organ donors or clinical significance of any identified abnormalities terms function and suitability transplantation. Methods Results— A single experienced reviewer first obtained after brain stem herniation 980 managed by California Transplant Donor Network from 2002 to...
This cross-sectional study analyzes how pain assessment frequency and score magnitude variability differ by age among trauma patients admitted in hospitals.
Widespread thrombi are found among donor lungs rejected for transplantation. The 4G/5G polymorphism in the plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) gene impacts transcription and 4G allele is associated with increased PAI-1 levels. We hypothesized that 4G/4G genotype would be decreased lung graft utilization, potentially because of worse oxygenation donor. genotyped donors managed by California Transplant Donor Network from 2001 to 2008 gene. Non-Hispanic 2005 defined discovery cohort (n =...
