METHODS: A total of 1,939 from 36 outpatient drug-free residential programs 13 California counties were assessed at intake, discharge, three months after admission, nine admission. Path relate quantity quality services that received first retention nine-month follow-up. Patients determined have a favorable outcome if...
Abstract Aims To estimate mortality rates among treated opioid‐dependent individuals by cause and in relation to the general population, instantaneous effects of opioid detoxification maintenance treatment (MMT) on hazard all‐cause cause‐specific mortality. Design Population‐based cohort study. Setting Linked data all first enrolled publicly funded pharmacological for dependence California, USA from 2006 2010. Participants A total 32 322 individuals, whom there were 1031 deaths (3.2%) over a...
Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) affects up to 51% of women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Effective prevention strategies remain elusive, although alpha receptor antagonists show promise in recent literature. This study sought evaluate the effect preoperative tamsulosin on POUR after vaginal POP. We conducted a retrospective cohort female patients POP, with or without concomitant midurethral sling. Patients who received were compared controls. All discharged day...

ABSTRACT Aims Methadone maintenance treatment has been made available in China response to the rapid spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but high rates dropout and relapse are problematic. The aim this study was apply test if a contingency management (or motivational incentives) intervention can improve retention reduce drug use. Design Random assignment usual care with ( n = 160) or without 159) incentives during 12‐week trial. Incentives participants earned draws for chance win...
To identify dose-tapering strategies associated with sustained success following methadone maintenance treatment (MMT).Population-based retrospective cohort study.Linked administrative medication dispensation data from British Columbia, Canada.From 25 545 completed MMT episodes, 14 602 of which initiated a taper, 4183 individuals (accounting for 4917 episodes) 1996 to 2006 met study inclusion criteria.The primary outcome was successful defined as daily dose ≤5 mg per day in the final week...
<h3>Objective</h3> To determine the sensitivity and specificity of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) compared to simultaneous standard (sEEG) for seizure detection background discontinuity. <h3>Design</h3> Prospective paired cohort. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary academic neonatal intensive care unit. <h3>Patients</h3> Infants were recruited from 2005 2008. Neonates requiring sEEG aEEG. <h3>Interventions</h3> Following aEEG, seizures recorded as present or absent, was normal...
Prior studies indicated opioid substitution treatment (OST) reduces mortality risk and improves the odds of accessing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART); however, relative effects these treatments for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive people who inject drugs (PWID) are unclear. We determine independent joint OST HAART on mortality, by cause, within a population HIV-positive PWID initiating HAART.Using linked population-level database British Columbia, Canada, we used...
