Diagnostic errors contribute to patient harm, though few data exist describe their prevalence or underlying causes among medical inpatients.
Abstract A method for the determination of total dietary fiber (TDF), as defined by CODEX Alimentarius, was validated in foods. Based upon principles AOAC Official MethodsSM 985.29, 991.43, 2001.03, and 2002.02, quantitates high- low-molecular-weight (HMWDF LMWDF, respectively). In 2007, McCleary described a extended enzymatic digestion at 37C to simulate human intestinal followed gravimetric isolation quantitation HMWDF use LC quantitate soluble (LMWSDF). The thus complete range components...
There is a paucity of population-based studies on the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depression in U.S. population. We sought to study this using National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.We used NHANES data from 2009 2010. Our included 190,269,933 adults without IBD 2,325,226 with IBD. determine whether an independent risk factor for depressive symptoms (DS) population studied predictors DS population.DS was present 49% versus 23% non-IBD...
This study aimed to estimate the extent of US health care resource use (HRU) and direct cost burden cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS).
Abstract Background Currently, 33 states in the United States along with District of Columbia have legalised cannabis some forms. There is a paucity data on impact legalisation use hospitalisations due to cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). Aim To study trends CVS‐related and CVS relation recreational Colorado. Methods All hospital admissions Colorado between 2010 2014 diagnosis were identified using State Inpatient Database. Five‐year analysed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was...
BACKGROUND Gender‐based discrimination and sexual harassment, both implicit overt, have been reported in academic medicine. This study examines experiences of hospitalists regarding gender‐based harassment. METHODS A survey was distributed to Internal Medicine at university‐based institutions the United States. Questions assessed harassment their interactions with patients, as well other healthcare providers (HCPs). RESULTS Eighteen participated survey, resulting 336 individual responses....
Abstract We sought to understand the current state of research in adult Hospital Medicine by repeating a 2018 survey leaders with changes improve response rate surveyed programs. also analyzed public sources federal funding and MEDLINE‐indexed publications from 2010 through 2019 among members Society (SHM). Of 102 contacted groups across country, 49 responded, for total 48%. Among 3397 faculty represented responding programs, 72 (2%) were identified as conducting more than 50% their time....
Risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is well established; however, there paucity data on the potential added risk VTE IBD Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). We sought to study difference rates hospitalized CDI compared those without CDI.We queried Nationwide Inpatient Sample from year 2011 identify ≥18 years age a discharge diagnosis (i.e., Crohn's and ulcerative colitis) based ICD-9-CM codes 555.xx 556.xx, respectively. Patients were...
Food insecurity is associated with worse general health rating, but little research exists investigating whether there a dose response relationship across levels of food security and mental physical domains at the population level.Data from Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2016-2017) US adults aged 18 years older was used. The component score (PCS) (MCS) Quality Life, served as outcome measures. Four categories (high, marginal, low, very low security) primary independent variable. Linear...
To quantify the indirect burden of cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), we assessed work-related productivity loss in patients with CVS and caregivers using large-sized databases United States.
Examine the relationship between food and housing insecurities, quality of care life in adults with diabetes using a nationally representative data source.
Background Writing and presenting case reports has educational benefits for medical students by providing them a platform involvement in scholarly activities promoting scientific writing critical thinking. This study assesses students' perceived benefits, challenges, barriers regarding the process of reports. Methods A qualtrics survey was emailed to 225 fourth-year Medical College Wisconsin. All questions were focused on obtaining perceptions factors facilitating or reports, its challenges...
A 25-year-old male with a background of ulcerative colitis presented two-week history central chest pain. His ECG on presentation showed global T wave inversion peak troponin I 165 ng/ml. Clinical diagnosis myopericarditis/myocarditis was made. Echocardiography and cardiac MR confirmed the diagnosis. On detailed assessment his medication history, mesalazine suspected as an aetiological factor, discontinuation resulting in improvement symptoms, inflammatory markers enzymes. This is unique...
The risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has not been well studied in patients with lymphoma. We thus sought to determine the CDI hospitalizations lymphoma along its trend, outcomes, and predictors using a large database.Hospital discharge data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2007 2011 were used for study. Using International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes, all adult aged 18 years or older having primary diagnosis queried presence as any...
Introduction: Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is associated with frequent hospitalizations; risk factors for this are unknown.We sought to determine predictors of increased hospitalizations and length hospital stay (LOS). Methods:We performed a retrospective review patients CVS at tertiary referral center.Clinical characteristics details about yearly LOS were assessed; followup was divided into two one-year periods before after the initial clinic visit.Negative binomial regression used assess...
Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing with the burden disproportionately falling on older adults and racial/ethnic minorities. Older show greater cognitive decline there are disparities in function by race/ethnicity that can be explained social determinants such as wealth. Objective: To understand whether a differential relationship between wealth among U.S. diabetes. Methods: Data 9,006 aged 50+ from Health Retirement Study (2006–2016) were analyzed. primary outcome,...
