Abstract Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Frequent exacerbations result higher use emergency services hospitalizations, to poor patient outcomes high costs. The objective this study demonstrate feasibility multimodal, community-based intervention treating acute COPD exacerbations. Results Over 18 months, 1,333 patients were approached 100 (7.5%) enrolled (mean age 66, 52% female). Ninety-six...
Transition from hospital to nursing home is a high-risk period for adverse events in long-term care (LTC) residents. Adverse include harms medical care, including failure provide appropriate care.To report the incidence, type, severity, and preventability of LTC residents transitioning back same facility.Prospective cohort study discharged March 1, 2016, December 31, 2017, followed up 45 days. In random sample 32 homes located 6 New England states, 555 were selected, contributing 762...
To assess patient comfort speaking up about problems during hospitalisation and to identify patients at increased risk of having a problem not feeling comfortable up.Cross-sectional study.Eight hospitals in Maryland Washington, District Columbia.Patients hospitalised any one eight who completed the Hospital Consumer Assessment Healthcare Providers Systems survey postdischarge.Response question 'How often did you feel if had your care?' grouped as: (1) no hospitalisation, (2) always felt (3)...
Administration of contrast agents may result in an acute reduction renal function and occasionally end-stage disease. Risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CN) are preexisting dysfunction, diabetes reduced effective arterial volume. Hydration use nonionic have been reported to ameliorate CN. Reactive oxygen species a role the pathogenesis Statins decrease free radicals animals. We retrospectively tested hypothesis that administering statins prior cardiac catheterization decreases...
Bleeding risk is increased in renal failure due to impaired platelet adhesiveness. Patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are given multiple antiplatelet agents that increase risk. We retrospectively tested the hypothesis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients PCI at higher of bleeding and restenosis (due inflammation) compared with normal function.Patients had for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina between July 2001 June 2003 (1,184 patients)...
Limited recent data are available describing differences in long-term survival, and factors affecting prognosis, after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) non-ST-segment (NSTEMI), especially from the more generalizable perspective of a population-based investigation. The objectives this study were to examine post-discharge prognosis hospitalization for STEMI NSTEMI, with particular focus on associated reduced survival.We reviewed medical records residents Worcester, MA, USA...
Objectives: COVID-19 vaccines are widely available, but uptake is suboptimal. To develop strategies to increase vaccination rates, we sought (1) characterize adults initially hesitant be vaccinated for who later received the vaccine and (2) identify factors associated with their decision. Methods: In January 2021, conducted an online survey of US via Prolific that assessed intent, COVID-19–related knowledge attitudes, demographic characteristics. May recontacted respondents assess status...
Digital mental health interventions, such as artificial intelligence (AI) conversational agents, hold promise for improving access to care by innovating therapy and supporting delivery. However, little research exists on patient perspectives regarding AI which is crucial their successful implementation. This study aimed fill the gap exploring patients' perceptions acceptability of agents in healthcare. Adults with self-reported mild moderate anxiety were recruited from UMass Memorial Health...
