Although the verbal numeric scale (VNS) is used frequently at patients' bedsides, it has never been formally validated in children with acute pain. In order to validate this scale, a prospective cohort study was performed between 8 and 17years presenting pediatric emergency department (ED) Pain graded using VNS, visual analogue (VAS), rating (VRS). A second assessment done before discharge. We determined priori that be valid, VNS would need to: correlate VAS (concurrent validity); decrease...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Evidence for an association between opioid use and risk of falls or fractures in older adults is inconsistent. We examine the recent risk, as well clinical outcomes, fall-related injuries a large trauma population adults. <h3>METHODS:</h3> In retrospective, observational, multicentre cohort study conducted on registry data, we included all patients aged 65 years who were admitted (hospital stay > 2 d) injury 57 centres province Quebec, Canada, 2004 2014. looked at...
Objectives To estimate the cumulative incidence of functional decline in independent older adults 3 and 6 months after a minor injury treated emergency department ( ED ) to identify predictors this decline. Design Prospective cohort study. Settings Three Canadian teaching s. Participants Individuals aged 65 who were basic activities daily living before their evaluated for injuries (N = 335). Measurements Functional was defined as loss 2 or more out 28 points on self‐reported Older Americans...
Summary The repeatability coefficient of the 100-mm visual analogue scale in children, a measure test-retest reliability, is 12 mm when pain did not change. In many psychometric properties (VAS) are known, including minimum clinically significant difference (10 on VAS). However, its imprecision or reliability well known. Thus, order to determine this scale, prospective cohort study was performed patients aged 8–17 years presenting pediatric emergency department with acute pain. Pain graded 4...
We aim to determine the incidence of delirium and describe its impacts on hospital length stay (LOS) among non-delirious community-dwelling older adults with an 8-hour exposure emergency department (ED) environment.This is a prospective observational multicentre cohort study (March-July 2015). Patients were assessed two times per day during their entire ED up 24 hours ward.The took place in four Canadian EDs.338 included patients: (1) aged ≥65 years; (2) who had ≥8 hours; (3) admitted ward...
Evaluate the incidence and risk factors of opioid use 1 year after injury in elderly trauma patients.The current epidemic prescription misuse overdose observed North America generally concerns young patients. Little is known on long-term among population.In a retrospective observational multicenter cohort study conducted registry data, all patients 65 years older admitted (hospital stay >2 days) for 57 adult centers province Quebec (Canada) between 2004 2014 were included. We searched filled...
there is no standardised test for assessing mobility in the Emergency Department (ED). we wished to evaluate relationship between Timed Up and Go (TUG) frailty, functional decline falls community dwelling elders that present ED following minor trauma. this was a secondary analysis of prospective cohort study conducted at eight Canadian hospitals. Evaluations included: TUG; Study Osteoporotic Fractures Frailty Index; Older American Resources Service Functional Scale; self-reported falls. Of...
<h3>Background:</h3> Emergency physicians lack high-quality evidence for many diagnostic and treatment decisions made patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our objective is to describe the methods used collect ensure data quality of a multicentre registry presenting emergency department COVID-19. <h3>Methods:</h3> This methodology study describes population-based that has been enrolling consecutive COVID-19 since Mar. 1, 2020. Most are collected from...
This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of remote physical exercise (PE) prevent mobility loss among pre-disabled older adults during COVID-19 lockdowns. Participants followed a 12-week PE program in Zoom© supervised groups (Web-Ex group, n=11) or phone-supervised individual booklet-based home-program (Booklet n=33). The total rate adherence was 82.5% Web-Ex group 85.8% Booklet group. level satisfaction « lot » for 60% participants Web-ex 37.9% those included...
Background The accuracy of self-reported vaccination status is important to guide real-world vaccine effectiveness studies and policy making in jurisdictions where access electronic registries restricted. Objective This study aimed determine the reliability number doses, brand, time administration. Methods diagnostic was completed by Canadian COVID-19 Emergency Department Rapid Response Network. We enrolled consecutive patients presenting 4 emergency departments (EDs) Québec between March...
Evaluate the association of adequate analgesia and time to with emergency department (ED) length stay (LOS).
Background.This study aims to (i) describe frailty in the subgroup of independent community-dwelling seniors consulting emergency departments (EDs) for minor injuries, (ii) examine association between and functional decline 3 months postinjury, (iii) ascertain predictive accuracy measures physicians' decline.
This study was designed to estimate the validity of an 11-point verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS) and a 100 Unit (U) plasticized visual analogue (VASp) using 100mm paper (VAS) as gold standard, recommend best method reporting intensity acute pain in emergency department (ED). A convenience sample 1176 patients with were recruited ED teaching hospital. Patients >18 years able use different scales included. Scales presented randomly. Results converted 0-100 U quantified Bland-Altman...
