Objectives: To determine the direct medical costs of hospitalizations for acute pancreatitis in United States and analyze demographic characteristics hospitalized patients. Methods: We searched 2003 Healthcare Cost Utilization Project-National Inpatient Sample with a primary discharge diagnosis pancreatitis. These were analyzed respect to patient demographics, hospitalization rates, total hospital charges costs. Results: The estimated cost admissions was $2.2 billion (95% confidence interval...
The objective of this study was to ascertain trends in mental health-related visits U.S. emergency departments.Data were obtained from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey by using ICD-9-CM, E, and V codes as well reasons for visit.From 1992 2001, there 53 million visits, representing an increase 4.9 percent 6.3 all department 17.1 23.6 per 1,000 population across decade. most prevalent diagnoses substance-related disorders (22 visits), mood (17 percent), anxiety (16...
OBJECTIVES. Although bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants, there are limited data describing epidemiology hospitalizations, and associated cost unknown. Our objective was to determine nationally representative estimates frequency hospitalizations its costs. PATIENTS AND METHODS. We analyzed 2002 Health Care Utilization Project-National Inpatient Sample, a federal, stratified random survey hospital discharges. For admissions age <2 years with discharge...
While epilepsy is a well-characterized disease, the majority of emergency department (ED) visits for "seizure" involve patients without known epilepsy. The epidemiology seizure presentations and national patterns management are unclear. aim this investigation was to characterize ED in large representative US sample investigate any potential impact race or ethnicity on management. Seizure from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) 1993 2003 were analysed. Demographic...
Abstract Objectives: The most common vestibular disorders seen in the emergency department (ED) are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and acute peripheral vestibulopathy (APV; i.e., neuritis or labyrinthitis). BPPV APV two very distinct that have different clinical presentations require diagnostic treatment strategies. can be diagnosed without imaging is treated with canalith‐repositioning maneuvers. sometimes requires neuroimaging by magnetic resonance (MRI) to exclude posterior...
PURPOSE Early-phase clinical trials (EP-CTs) are designed to determine optimal dosing, tolerability, and preliminary activity of novel cancer therapeutics. Little is known about the time that patients spend interacting with health care system (eg, toxicity) while participating in these studies. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed electronic records consecutive enrolled EP-CTs from 2017 2019 obtain baseline characteristics number care–associated days, defined as all inpatient outpatient...
To describe the epidemiology of U.S. emergency department (ED) visits for transient ischemic attack (TIA) and to measure rates antiplatelet medication use, neuroimaging, hospitalization during a ten-year time period.The authors obtained data from 1992-2001 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. TIA cases were identified by having ICD-9 code 435.From 1992 2001, there 769 cases, representing 2,969,000 ED TIA. The population rate 1.1 per 1,000 (95% CI = 0.92 1.30) was stable over...
The obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) clerkship is a uniquely enriching challenging rotation for medical students. Available literature prepares students medicine surgery clerkships, but few guides identify discuss the unique characteristics of OB/GYN that impact student learning performance during clerkship. Here, we aim to highlight specific clinical environments, emotionally sensitive experiences, technical expectations should anticipate be prepared in We believe all benefit from these...
Abstract Objective The emergency department (ED) is an essential setting for diagnosis of pregnancy, confirmation pregnancy location, and management loss other complications. This health care service delivery especially important patients with limited or complicated access into reproductive elsewhere. We seek to assess physicians’ knowledge, training, attitudes, practices related options counseling, referrals, provision medical‐ procedural‐induced abortion. Methods surveyed a sample...
Artificial intelligence (AI) provides an opportunity to streamline tasks within academic medicine. Generative AI (genAI) models, specifically, have the capacity generate new written content, follow detailed instructions for product improvement, and incorporate content from supplemental data sources. While a part of professional responsibility faculty in medicine, writing letters recommendation (LORs) is often time consuming repetitive candidate candidate. Yet, crafting these well paramount...
No studies have examined U.S. burn epidemiology from the perspective of Emergency Department. We sought to describe patient characteristics, injury types, and Department practice patterns. Data were collected National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey between 1993 2004. visit rates for decreased 2004 with a peak 2.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1-3.4) per 1000 population in 1995 nadir 1.6 CI 1.2-2.0) The rate injuries was greater men than women (2.7 [95% 2.4-3.0] vs 1.8 1.6-2.0]...
Understanding ambulance utilization patterns is essential to assessing prehospital system capacity and preparedness at the national level.To describe characteristics of patients transported U.S. emergency departments (EDs) by determine predictors utilization.Data were obtained from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey using mode arrival, demographic visit information, ICD-9-CM E V-codes, classified reasons for visit.The rates ED visits persons conveyed ambulence stable between...
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is often described as a recurrent condition that leads to emergency department (ED) visits. However, the epidemiology of ED visits for SVT unknown.To define frequency in U.S. EDs and analyze patient characteristics, management, disposition such visits.The authors analyzed data from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, 1993-2003. cases were identified by using International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes...
