Abstract Introduction Increased mortality has been demonstrated in older adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the effect of frailty unclear. Methods This multi-centre cohort study involved patients aged 18 years and hospitalised COVID-19, using routinely collected data. We used Cox regression analysis to assess impact age, delirium on risk inpatient mortality, adjusting for sex, illness severity, inflammation co-morbidities. ordinal logistic Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)...
Abstract Objective: To estimate the additional health and economic burden of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections in Australian hospitals. Methods: A simulation model based on existing evidence was developed to assess mortality costs healthcare-associated AMR Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecium , Staphylococcus aureus . Setting: public Findings: hospitals spent an AUD$5.8 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI], $2.2–$11.2...

Abstract Background Childhood rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a soft tissue malignant tumor of skeletal muscle origin, accounts for approximately 3.5% the cases cancer among children 0–14 years and 2% adolescents young adults 15–19 age. Procedure We evaluated survival (SUR) after first relapse depending on time to (TTR) in RMSs childhood adolescence. Early, intermediate, late relapsing patients were prognostic risk factors. Results Two hundred thirty‐four with RMS enrolled German sarcoma trial...
To describe the characteristics of children admitted to Royal Darwin Hospital with bronchiolitis, and compare severity illness incidence subsequent readmission in Indigenous non-Indigenous children.
Despite bronchiectasis being increasingly recognised as an important cause of chronic respiratory morbidity in both indigenous and non-indigenous settings globally, high quality evidence to inform management is scarce. It assumed that antibiotics are efficacious for all exacerbations, but not practitioners agree. Inadequately treated exacerbations may risk lung function deterioration. Our study tests the hypothesis oral azithromycin amoxicillin-clavulanic acid superior placebo at improving...
Indigenous Australians with asthma have higher morbidity and mortality compared non-Indigenous Australians. In children hospitalised acute asthma, we aimed to (i) determine if severity, risk factors management differed between children; (ii) identify intervention points reduce of asthma.

Aim: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is an autosomal co-dominant condition that predisposes individuals to early-onset emphysema. As with COPD, AATD-COPD associated pulmonary exacerbations, which impacts on overall mortality and quality of life. Though there evidence COPD a higher prevalence cardiovascular disease major adverse events (MACE), it unclear if this true for patients AATD-COPD. Methods: Prevalence was determined in two separate severe AATD cohorts: AlphaNet, USA the Birmingham...
The management of children with prolonged cough is largely dependent on the nature cough. Specific cough, which has presence specific pointers, and for an underlying respiratory disorder can be identified (1), will warrant different treatment to a nonspecific Signs symptoms indicating include moist or productive recurrent pneumonia, immune deficiency, failure thrive, dyspnea at rest exertion, abnormal auscultatory findings (wheeze, crackles crepitations).
