The size of the prevalent ESRD population in United States increased dramatically during 1990s, from 196,000 1991 to 382,000 2000. Incidence also considerably same period, 53,000 93,000 per year. If previous trends incidence and prevalence continue, then current levels health care resources that are devoted these patients will eventually be unable meet demand. This study discusses a Markov model developed predict incidence, prevalence, mortality year 2015 incorporating expected changes...
Clinical trials have illustrated warfarin's protective effect on stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The current study investigated temporal trends AF prevalence, warfarin use, and its relation to Medicare from 1992 2002.The 5% sample for 2002 was used create 1-year cohorts of as primary payer throughout the year. International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Modification codes were identify AF, ischemic hemorrhagic stroke, comorbid conditions. A previously...
The incidence of stroke is substantially higher among hemodialysis patients than with earlier stages CKD, but to what extent the initiation dialysis accelerates risk for not well understood. In this cohort study, we analyzed data from incident and peritoneal in 2009 who were at least 67 years old had Medicare as primary payer. We noted whether each 20,979 initiated an outpatient (47%) or inpatient (53%). One year before initiation, baseline rate was 0.15%-0.20% per month (ppm) both...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine emerged as an important tool in primary care. Technology and policy-related challenges, however, revealed barriers to adoption implementation. This report describes findings from weekly monthly surveys of care clinicians regarding during first 2 years pandemic.From March 2020 2022, we conducted electronic using convenience samples obtained through social networking crowdsourcing. Unique tokens were used confidentially track respondents over time. A...
Hypertonic saline is emerging as a potentially effective single osmotic agent for control of acute elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP) caused by severe traumatic brain injury. This study examines its effect on ICP, cerebral perfusion (CPP), and tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2).Twenty-five consecutive patients with injury who were treated 23.4% NaCl elevated ICP evaluated. Bolt catheter probes placed the noninjured hemisphere, hourly mean arterial pressure, CPP, PbtO2 values recorded....
Few published data describe long-term survival of dialysis patients undergoing surgical versus percutaneous coronary revascularization in the era drug-eluting stents (DES).Using United States Renal Data System data, we identified 23 033 who underwent (6178 artery bypass grafting, 5011 bare metal stents, 11 844 DES) from 2004 to 2009. Revascularization procedures decreased 4347 3344 DES use by 41% and stent increased 85% 2006 2007. Long-term was estimated Kaplan-Meier method, independent...
Background We evaluated temporal trends in ischemic stroke and warfarin use among demographic subsets of the US Medicare population that are not well represented randomized trials for prevention nonvalvular atrial fibrillation ( AF ). Methods Results One‐year cohorts Medicare–primary payer patients (1992–2010) were created using 5% sample. International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes used to identify hemorrhagic stroke; ≥3 consecutive prothrombin time...
Objectives To describe the essential components of an Agile Implementation (AI) process, which rapidly and effectively implements evidence‐based healthcare solutions, present a case study demonstrating its utility. Design Case demonstration study. Setting Integrated, safety net delivery system in Indianapolis. Participants Interdisciplinary team clinicians administrators. Measurements Reduction dementia symptoms caregiver burden; inpatient outpatient care expenditures. Results scientists...
Infection is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ESRD. Infection-related hospitalization (IH) incidence among US Medicare incident pediatric adult dialysis transplant within 3 yr presentation was compared from 1996 to 2001: Hemodialysis (HD) (pediatric n = 1469; 305,323); peritoneal (PD) n=982; n=27,119), kidney (KTx) n=1108; n=31,663). IH were identified principal diagnosis codes; cumulative rates calculated claims data. Cumulative at 36 mo for ESRD during 2001 39.9%...
