Objectives Emergency department (ED) revisits had traditionally been used as a quality indicator, but focused more on the same hospital revisit (SHRV). Our study investigated 72-hour ED SHRV and different (DHRV), explored predictors of DHRV. Methods were analyzed using Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database that contained one-third patient records from 2012 to 2013. Rates DHRV calculated compared among levels accreditation. Linear regression analyses measure correlation between...
BACKGROUND Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the most common complementary and alternative medicines used in treatment patients with breast cancer. However, clinical effect TCM on survival, which a major concern these individuals, lacks evidence from large‐scale studies. METHODS The authors Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to conduct retrospective population‐based cohort study advanced cancer between 2001 2010. were separated into users nonusers, Cox regression...
The antitumor activity of an inhibitor 26S proteasome bortezomib (Velcade) has been observed in various malignancies, including colon cancer, prostate breast and ovarian cancer. Bortezomib proposed to stimulate autophagy, but scientific observations did not always support this. Interactions between ERK autophagy are complex completely clear. Autophagy proteins have recently shown regulate the functions ERK, activation found induce autophagy. On other hand, sustained also inhibit maturation...
The prognostic value of procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with sepsis at the emergency department (ED) has not been evaluated. We conducted a prospective observational study to compare PCT on and compared validated score, Mortality Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) C-reactive protein (CRP) setting ED an urban, university-based medical center. Five hundred twenty-five consecutive adult admitted fulfilling American College Clinical Pharmacists/Society Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference...
Little is known about patients who frequently visit the emergency department (ED) for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). We aimed to quantify proportion and characteristics with frequent ED visits AECOPD associated healthcare utilization. conducted a retrospective cohort study adults aged ≥40 years at least one between 2010 2011, derived from population-based all-payer data State Inpatient Databases two large diverse states: California Florida. Outcome...
Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the association between obesity and all-cause mortality, length stay hospital cost among patients with sepsis 20 years age or older. Materials Methods It a retrospective cohort study. dataset Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2011, largest publicly available all-payer inpatient care database in United States. Hospitalizations older were included. All 25 primary secondary diagnosis fields screened identify using International Classification...
Abstract Little is known about pulmonary embolism (PE) in the United States emergency department (ED). This study aimed to describe disease burden (visit rate and hospitalization) of PE ED investigate factors associated with its burden. Data were obtained from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) 2010 2018. Adult visits identified using International Classification Diseases codes. Analyses used descriptive statistics multivariable logistic regression accounting for...
In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a severe and sudden medical emergency that characterized by the abrupt cessation of circulatory function, leading to death or irreversible organ damage if not addressed immediately. Emergency department (ED)-based IHCA (EDCA) accounts for 10% 20% all cases. Early detection EDCA crucial, yet identifying subtle signs deterioration challenging. Traditional prediction methods primarily rely on structured vital electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, which require...
Abstract Background : Little is known about pulmonary embolism (PE) in the United States emergency department (ED). This study aimed to describe disease burden (visit rate and hospitalization) of PE ED investigate factors associated with its burden. Methods Data were obtained from National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) 2010 2018. Adult visits identified using International Classification Diseases codes. Analyses used descriptive statistics multivariable logistic regression...
Abstract Objectives: The aim was to examine the use of antibiotics treat asthma patients in U.S. emergency departments (EDs). authors sought investigate inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions by identifying frequency and predictors prescribed for exacerbations using data from two sources, National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) Emergency Department Safety Study (NEDSS). Methods: used NHAMCS NEDSS identify proportion ED visits that resulted prescription an antibiotic....
Rationale: Cross-sectional studies of T-cell responses to self-antigens correlate with baseline emphysema severity.Objectives: We investigated whether clinical and/or immunological factors could predict disease progression, such as emphysema, FEV1, and 6-minute-walk distance (6MWD), in former active smokers a 5-year prospective study.Methods: recruited 224 ever over 40 years age greater than 15 pack-year smoking history.Measurements Main Results: Repeated spirometry, 6MWD, peripheral blood...
OBJECTIVES To determine the patient factors associated with hospital admission among adults who present to emergency department (ED) acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and whether admissions were concordant recommendations in Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines.The authors performed a prospective multicenter cohort study involving 29 EDs United States Canada. By using standard protocol, consecutive ED patients COPD...

Background Triage is the process of accurately assessing patients’ symptoms and providing them with proper clinical treatment in emergency department (ED). While many countries have developed their triage to stratify severity thus distribute medical resources, there are still some limitations current process. Since level mainly identified by experienced nurses based on a mix subjective objective criteria, mis-triage often occurs ED. It can not only cause adverse effects patients, but also...
