Importance Early observations suggested that COVID-19 pneumonia had a higher mortality rate than other causes of pneumonia. Objective To compare outcomes between mechanically ventilated patients with due to (March 2020 June 2021) and etiologies (July 2016 December 2019). Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Johns Hopkins Healthcare System among adult (aged ≥18 years) who required mechanical ventilation in first 2 weeks hospitalization. Clinical,...
To determine if glaucoma and/or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are associated with disability in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
To determine the association between glaucoma and travel away from home.Fifty-nine suspect controls with normal vision 80 subjects bilateral visual field (VF) loss wore a cellular tracking device during 1 week of activity. Location data were used to evaluate number daily excursions home as well time spent home.Control similar in age, race, sex, employment, driving support, cognitive ability, mood, comorbid illness (p > 0.1 for all). Better-eye VF mean deviation (MD) averaged 0.0 decibels...
Survey research is well suited to measuring the knowledge, behavior, and attitudes of study participants has been widely used in medical education pulmonary critical care medicine research. Although ease survey administration via electronic platforms led an increased volume publications, improving quality this work remains important challenge.
Abstract Background The ability to drive is important for ensuring quality of life many older adults. Glaucoma prevalent in this age group and may affect driving. purpose study determine if glaucoma glaucomatous visual field (VF) loss are associated with driving cessation, limitations, deference another driver Methods Cross-sectional study. Eighty-one subjects 58 suspect controls between 60 80 reported they had ceased driving, limited their various ways, or preferred drive. Results...
Use of prone positioning in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from COVID-19 may be greater than treated for ARDS before the pandemic. However, magnitude this increase, sources practice variation, and extent to which use adheres guidelines is unknown.To compare practices versus pandemic.We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study mechanically ventilated early moderate-to-severe (2020-2021) or non-COVID-19 pneumonia (2018-2019) across 19 ICUs at five hospitals...
Rationale: The adoption of prone positioning for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has historically been poor. However, in mechanically ventilated coronavirus disease (COVID-19) ARDS, proning increased. Understanding the factors influencing this change is important further expanding and sustaining use appropriate clinical settings. Objectives: To characterize implementation COVID-19 ARDS. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semistructured interviews 40...
Intermediate care (IC) is prevalent nationwide, but little known about how to best organize this level of care. Using a 99-item cross-sectional survey assessing four domains (hospital and physical IC features, provider nurse staffing, monitoring, interventions/services), we describe the organizational heterogeneity within five-hospital healthcare system. Surveys were completed by managers from 12 (86%) 14 settings. Six settings (50%) embedded acute wards, (33%) stand-alone units, two (17%)...
Abstract Background ICU readmissions are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. As patient complexity increases care practices evolve, the contemporary epidemiology of remains unclear. We aimed to examine readmission rates timing across multiple health systems, focusing on unplanned occurring within 24, 48, 72 hours after discharge. Methods performed a retrospective cohort study using federated data from Common Longitudinal Format (CLIF) Consortium, comprising...
