Emergency department (ED) visits are common at the end-of-life, but the identification of patients with life-limiting illness remains a key challenge in providing timely and resource-sensitive advance...
This was a retrospective, observational cohort study of ED visits from adults aged ≥65 years who visited any of 9 EDs across a large regional health system between 2014 and 2019. Multivariable logisti...
A total of 431,179 encounters by 123,128 adults were included in this study with a 6-month mortality rate of 12.2%. Charlson (AUROC (95% CI): 0.65 (0.64-0.69)) and Elixhauser indices (0.69 (0.68-0.70)...
Prognostic models using EHR data robustly identify high mortality risk older adults in the ED for whom code status, ACP, or palliative care interventions may be of benefit. Although all tested methods...
Performance validity tests (PVTs) are used in neuropsychological assessments to detect patterns of performance suggesting that the broader evaluation may be an invalid reflection of an individual's ab...
We enrolled 29 nonlitigant, non-compensation-seeking patients with a clinical diagnosis of FMD, 29 healthy controls, and 29 healthy simulators. Three PVTs, the Coin in the Hand Test (CIH), the Rey 15-...
Functional motor disorder patients showed low rates of failure on the CIH and REY (7% and 10%, respectively) and slightly higher rates on the FTT (15%, n = 26), which implies a motor task. Their perfo...
Performance validity test performance of nonlitigant, non-compensation-seeking patients with FMD ranged from 7% to 15%. Patients' performance was comparable to that of controls and significantly diffe...
Breastfeeding has a number of benefits for both mothers and their infants. Research has examined the psychosocial influences on breastfeeding, yielding important findings in relation to particular con...
Subjective norms items were developed by researchers in the domain and were tested among 949 couples....
