Abstract: We studied the main clinical features, outcome, and laboratory parameters in a group of solid organ transplant (SOT) patients with immunohistochemically proven cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. Confirmed CMV cases were obtained through databases. Demographics, data, transplantation type, immunosuppressive regimens, donor recipient serostatus, therapy, outcome results, pp65 antigenemia, qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for analyzed. From 1995 to 2004, 31 complete medical...
Objective: This study simulates the regionalization of pancreatectomies to assess its impact on spatial access in terms patient driving times. Background: Although policies regionalize complex procedures high-volume centers may improve outcomes, is unknown. Methods: Patients who underwent from 2005 2014 were identified California's statewide database. Round-trip times between patients’ home ZIP code and hospital addresses calculated via Google Maps. Regionalization was simulated by...
