Background. Aspiration of infected oropharyngeal content is the main cause aspiration pneumonia. This complication, mainly related to gram-negative bacteria, threatens percutaneous enterogastric tube as well nasogastric (NGT) fed patients. The objective this study was examine oral microbiota tuboenterally patients and compare it with that orally counterparts.
Background: Platelet distribution width (PDW) has demonstrated clinical significance in populations with specific disorders; its prognostic internal medicine wards not been investigated. Methods: Demographic, and laboratory data were collected prospectively for 1036 inpatients. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality, secondary outcomes were: treatment mechanical ventilation, prolonged hospital stay, in-hospital death, all-cause mortality following discharge. Data assessed according to PDW...
Abstract Background Malnutrition is a prevalent and hard-to-treat condition in older adults. enteral feeding common acute long-term care. Data regarding the prognosis of patients receiving geriatric medical settings lacking. Such data important for decision-making preliminary instructions patients, caregivers, physicians. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors mortality among adults admitted center or starting nutrition (EN). Methods A cohort retrospective study, conducted from 2019 2021....
Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infection with substantial risk of death, especially in elderly persons. Information about the prognostic significance functional status older patients COVID-19 scarce. Methods Demographic, clinical, laboratory and short-term mortality data were collected 186 consecutive aged ≥ 65 years hospitalized COVID-19. The compared between 4 study groups: (1) age 65–79 without severe dependency; (2) 80 (3) (4) dependency....
Purpose: To evaluate demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables, their associations with in-hospital mortality, among elderly internal medicine patients nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding. Patients Methods: Demographic, data were collected retrospectively for 129 aged ≥ 80 years who initiated NGT feeding during hospitalization in wards. The compared between survivors non-survivors. Multivariate logistic regressions performed to identify the variables most significantly associated mortality....
Background: The possible differences in characteristics and prognosis, among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), vs. without changes red cell distribution width (RDW) during hospitalization, have not been investigated. Methods: For 477 adults hospitalized COVID-19, demographic, laboratory clinical characteristics, in-hospital outcomes all-cause mortality were compared according: to high (>14.7%, n=146) normal (≤14.7%, n=331) RDW values at admission, according (n=150) stable...
