Metastatic bone disease is estimated to develop in up 17% of patients with melanoma, compromising skeleton integrity resulting skeletal-related events (SREs), which impair quality life and reduce survival. The objective the study was investigate (1) proportion melanoma developing SREs following diagnosis metastasis (2) predictors for this patient cohort.
Nosocomial pneumonia has poor prognosis in hospitalized trauma patients. Croce et al. published a model to predict post-traumatic ventilator-associated pneumonia, which achieved high discrimination and reasonable sensitivity. We aimed externally validate Croce's nosocomial patients admitted Dutch level-1 center.This retrospective study included all (≥ 16y) for > 24 h our center 2017. Exclusion criteria were or antibiotic treatment upon hospital admission, elsewhere h, death < 48 h. used...
In-hospital complications after trauma may result in prolonged stays, higher costs, and adverse functional outcomes. Among reported risk factors for are pre-existing cardiopulmonary comorbidities. Objective quick evaluation of cardiovascular would be beneficial assessment patients. Studies non-trauma patients suggested an independent association between abnormalities visible on routine computed tomography (CT) imaging However, whether this applies to is unknown.To assess the CT images...
The present study aims to assess whether CT-derived muscle mass, density, and visceral fat mass are associated with in-hospital complications clinical outcome in level-1 trauma patients.A retrospective cohort was conducted on adult patients admitted the University Medical Center Utrecht following a between January 1 December 31, 2017. Trauma aged 16 years or older without severe neurological injuries, who underwent CT that included abdomen within 7 days of admission, were included. An...
Chest tubes are commonly placed in trauma care to treat life-threatening intrathoracic injuries by evacuating blood or air from the pleural cavity. Currently, it is common practice routinely obtain chest radiographs between 1 8 hours after tube removal, while necessity of has been questioned. This study describes "ins-and-outs" and evaluates value routine postremoval radiography nonventilated patients.
Opportunistic screening for bone mineral density (BMD) of the first lumbar vertebra (L1) using computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used to identify patients at risk osteoporosis. An extensive study in United States has reported sex-specific normative values CT-based BMD across all ages. The current aims validate North American reference a Dutch population level-1 trauma patients. All aged 16 or older, admitted our center during 2017, who underwent CT scan chest abdomen 120 kVp within 7...
Objective:The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement System (PROMIS)-25 profile has been validated for use in diverse populations of children with many conditions, though not among burn-injured children.The purpose this study was to examine the reliability and validity PROMIS-25 scores living burn injury.Methods: Data were collected through a multi-center longitudinal outcomes after injury.Each domain Profile evaluated validity.Floor ceiling effects, unidimensionality, internal consistency...
