A total of 4630 paediatric burn patients were included in the analysis. Approximately three quarters of this cohort (n = 3510, 75.8%) were admitted to a paediatric only hospital, while the remaining q...
Comparing children's hospitals and general hospitals, different models of care seem to exist. Burn services in children's hospitals adopted a more conservative approach and were more inclined to facil...
General hospitals (GH) provide inpatient care for the majority of hospitalized children in the United States, yet the majority of hospital pediatrics research is conducted at freestanding children's h...
Updating a prior 2012 analysis, this study used 2019 data to describe characteristics of pediatric hospitalizations at general and freestanding hospitals in the United States and identify the most com...
This study examined hospitalizations in children <18 years using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's 2019 Kids' Inpatient Database, stratifying neonatal and nonneonatal hospital stays....
Not applicable....
Sociodemographic and clinical differences between hospitalizations at general and freestanding children's hospitals were examined, applying survey weights to generate national estimates....
There were an estimated 5,263,218 pediatric hospitalizations in 2019, including 3,757,601 neonatal and 1,505,617 nonneonatal hospital stays. Overall, 88.6% (n = 4,661,288) of hospitalizations occurred...
The intensive care unit (ICU) is a finite and expensive resource with demand not infrequently exceeding capacity. Understanding ICU capacity strain is essential to gain situational awareness. Increase...
To characterize the pattern of hospitalization in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Parkinson's disease (PD), and compare the differences to see whether AD patients and PD patients have a diff...
The clinical features of all consecutive patients from January 2017 to December 2020 were reviewed. We identified AD patients and PD patients from an electronic database in a tertiary medical center....
The study group comprised 995 AD patients and 2,298 PD patients who were admitted to the hospital for the first time, and re-hospitalized 231 AD patients and 371 PD patients were also included. AD pat...
The present study found that AD patients and PD patients have a significantly different picture of hospitalization. It is important to implement different management for hospitalized AD and PD, and di...
In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a significant public health burden. Rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) have been improving, but the best way to care for patients after the initial ...
Our study collects granular data on post-IHCA treatment practices, focusing on temperature control and prognostication, with the objective of describing variation in current post-IHCA practice....
This is a multicenter, prospectively collected, observational cohort study of patients who have suffered IHCA and have been successfully resuscitated (achieved ROSC). There are 24 enrolling hospital s...
The study collects data on patient characteristics including pre-arrest frailty, arrest characteristics, and detailed information on post-arrest practices and outcomes. Data collection on post-IHCA pr...
We expect this study, Discover IHCA, to identify variability in practice and outcomes following IHCA, and be a vital resource for future investigations into best-practice for managing patients after I...
Acute pericarditis occasionally requires invasive treatment, and may recur after discharge. However, there are no studies on acute pericarditis in Japan, and its clinical characteristics and prognosis...
This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of clinical characteristics, invasive procedures, mortality, and recurrence in patients with acute pericarditis hospitalized from 2010 to 2022. The...
The median age of all 65 patients was 65.0 years [interquartile range (IQR), 48.0-76.0 years], and 49 (75.3 %) were male. The etiology of acute pericarditis was idiopathic in 55 patients (84.6 %), col...
In acute pericarditis requiring hospitalization, in-hospital AE and recurrence were each observed in >10 % of patients. Further large studies on treatment are warranted....
To assess the effect of cognitive function, performance of activities of daily living (ADLs), degree of depression, and fear of infection among geriatric patients hospitalized in internal medicine war...
This observational survey study was conducted during the second, third, and fourth waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥ 65 years, hospitalized for ...
A total of 219 patients were included in the study. The results showed that impaired cognitive function in geriatric patients (AMTS) was associated with higher in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 pat...
In this study, we observe that cognitive function impairments and the older age of patients treated for COVID-19 in the medical ward increase the in-hospital risk of death....
To describe and analyze the aspects regarding the cost and length of stay for elderly patients with bone fractures in a tertiary reference hospital....
A cross-sectional retrospective study using data obtained from medical records between January and December 2020. For statistical analysis, exploratory analyses, Shapiro-Wilk test, χ2 test, and Spearm...
During the study period, 156 elderly patients (62.2% women) with bone fractures were treated. The main trauma mechanism was a fall from a standing height (76.9%). The most common type of fracture in t...
Fractures in the elderly are frequent, resulting in significant costs. The longer the hospital stay for treatment, the higher the total cost. No correlation was found between total cost and number of ...
Cleft lip or palate is a prevalent birth defect, occurring in approximately 1 to 2 per 1000 newborns and often necessitating numerous hospitalizations. Specific rates of hospitalization and complicati...
