Introduction
To examine the impact of rehospitalization on the healthcare expenditure of myocardial infarction (MI) patients in Beijing.Methods
Retrospective data of MI patients were retrieved from the Beijing Medical Insurance Database, an administrative database of social medical reimbursement activities for the urban population in Beijing, China. Ten percent of patients diagnosed with MI from January 1 to December 31, 2012 were randomly selected and their first hospitalization was considered as the index event. Their hospital utilization after the index event was extracted till September 30, 2013. Rehospitalization was defined as an event of hospital admission due to the same diagnosis and with a time interval of at least 14 days from the most recent admission. The healthcare cost of patients was analyzed, including inpatient cost and outpatient cost. Patients’ demographic characteristics, co-morbidities, and length of hospital stay were also collected from the database.Results
Of the 1235 MI patients identified, 335 (mean age of 66.14 ± 15.04 years; 84.18% males) had rehospitalization. The rate of MI recurrence was 27.13%. The annual healthcare expense was significantly higher for MI patients with rehospitalization compared to MI patients without rehospitalization (99,920.43 ± 84,113.52 CNY vs. 58,877.89 ± 93,942.90 CNY; P < 0.001). The significant positive predictors of incurring healthcare expenditure were male gender, age 45 years old or more, length of stay at first hospital admission, whether having rehospitalization (yes/no), co-morbidity (heart failure and diabetes), and admission to a tertiary hospital at first hospital admission.Conclusion
There was a high risk of MI recurrence for patients in Beijing. The annual healthcare cost of MI patients with rehospitalization was significantly higher than MI patients without rehospitalization. Male patients of 45 years old or more with heart failure and diabetes are likely to incur higher healthcare expenditure.3.

Urinary retention is a common problem at end-of-life that may be a result of medications used to control other symptoms. To determine whether use of retention-causing drugs was associated with catheterization for urinary retention among palliative care unit (PCU) patients, the authors reviewed charts of 91 consecutively admitted patients to a hospital-based PCU. Utilization of eight classes of retention-causing medications (opioids, antidopaminergics, benzodiazepines, anticholinergics, antidepressants, calcium channel antagonists, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], and H1 histamine antagonists) was compared between those catheterized for urinary retention (n = 34) and those never catheterized (n = 31). All patients used medication from more than one class of retention-causing medication. A statistically significant association with urinary retention occurred for antidopaminergic medications, but not other drug classes. The total number of classes of retention-causing medications was not associated with catheterization. These findings question whether urinary retention need hinder medication use for symptom management at end-of-life. Tapering of antidopaminergic medications, compared with other drug classes studied, may be more likely to resolve retention. 相似文献

Purpose
Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy has remained an unresolved issue in clinical practice. Our previous study hypothesized that inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may produce a preventive effect on oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy. The aim of this study was to clarify whether RAS inhibitors prevent oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.Methods
This study retrospectively analyzed data from cancer patients who had received chemotherapy including oxaliplatin and were treated with or without RAS inhibitors. This retrospective observational study was conducted at Ehime University Hospital using electronic medical records from May 2009 to December 2016. The primary end point was the incidence of severe peripheral neuropathy during or after oxaliplatin treatment, according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis was used to identify risk factors.Findings
A total of 150 patients were included in the study. The estimated incidence of peripheral neuropathy was 36.9% and 91.7% in the RAS inhibitor group and the non–RAS inhibitor group, respectively. The multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazards model showed that the RAS inhibitor group was slightly associated with a decreased risk of neurotoxicity (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.18–0.99]; P?=?0.048).Implications
The present findings suggest that RAS inhibitors have the ability to prevent oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. 相似文献9.

ObjectiveTo investigate a recent association between the use of the angiotensin receptor-blocker (ARB) olmesartan and a severe enteropathy resembling celiac disease.Patients and MethodsWe searched our endoscopy database for all outpatient esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or colonoscopy examinations in patients aged at least 50 years during the period January 1, 2007, to March 31, 2013. Cases were those whose examination indication was diarrhea, and controls were those whose examination indication was esophageal reflux (EGD) or colorectal cancer screening (colonoscopy). We compared cases with controls with regard to the proportion of those listing olmesartan among their medications. Secondary exposures were the proportion of those taking nonolmesartan ARBs or other antihypertensive medications. We also examined biopsy results to determine whether there were histologic changes associated with the use of olmesartan.ResultsWe identified 2088 patients undergoing EGD and 12,428 patients undergoing colonoscopy meeting inclusion criteria. On multivariate analysis, there was no statistically significant association between olmesartan and diarrhea among those undergoing EGD (odds ratio, 1.99; 95% CI, 0.79-5.00) or colonoscopy (odds ratio, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.23-1.74). Review of pathology reports of the EGD and colonoscopy groups showed no association between the use of olmesartan and the histologic diagnosis of celiac disease (P=.61) or microscopic colitis (P=1.0), respectively.ConclusionOur findings suggest that neither olmesartan nor other ARBs were associated with diarrhea among patients undergoing endoscopy. The spruelike enteropathy recently associated with olmesartan is likely a rare adverse effect and milder presentations are unlikely. 相似文献

Background
More blood components are required in cardiac surgery than in most other medical disciplines. The overall blood demand may increase as a function of the total number of cardiothoracic and vascular surgical interventions and their level of complexity, and also when considering the demographic ageing. Awareness has grown with respect to adverse events, such as transfusion-related immunomodulation by allogeneic blood supply, which can contribute to morbidity and mortality. Therefore, programmes of patient blood management (PBM) have been implemented to avoid unnecessary blood transfusions and to standardise the indication of blood transfusions more strictly with aim to improve patients'' overall outcomes.Methods
A comprehensive retrospective analysis of the utilisation of blood components in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University Hospital of Münster (UKM) was performed over a 4-year period. Based on a medical reporting system of all medical disciplines, which was established as part of a PBM initiative, all transfused patients in cardiac surgery and their blood components were identified in a diagnosis- and medical procedure-related system, which allows the precise allocation of blood consumption to interventional procedures in cardiac surgery, such as coronary or valve surgery.Results
This retrospective single centre study included all in-patients in cardiac surgery at the UKM from 2009 to 2012, corresponding to a total of 1,405-1,644 cases per year. A blood supply was provided for 55.6-61.9% of the cardiac surgery patients, whereas approximately 9% of all in-patients at the UKM required blood transfusions. Most of the blood units were applied during cardiac valve surgery and during coronary surgery. Further surgical activities with considerable use of blood components included thoracic surgery, aortic surgery, heart transplantations and the use of artificial hearts. Under the measures of PBM in 2012 a noticeable decrease in the number of transfused cases was observed compared to the period from 2009 to 2011 before implementation of the PBM initiative (red blood cells p < 0.002; fresh frozen plasma p < 0.0006; platelets p < 0.00006).Conclusion
Until now, cardiac surgery comes along with a significant blood supply. By using a case-related data evaluation programme, the consumption of each blood component can be linked to clinical performance groups and, if necessary, to individual patients. Based on the results obtained from this retrospective analysis, prospective studies are underway to begin conducting target / actual performance comparisons to better understand the individual decision-making by the attending physicians with respect to transfusions.Key Words: Cardiac surgery, Haemotherapy, Blood supply, Blood transfusion, Patient blood management 相似文献13.

Context
Acute suppurative sialadenitis (hereafter referred to as sialadenitis) is accompanied by pain and fever and can diminish the quality of life in end-stage cancer patients; however, its incidence is not clear.Objectives
We conducted this study to elucidate the incidence of sialadenitis in end-stage cancer patients.Methods
Retrospective review and observational study based on patients' medical records.Subjects
About 726 consecutive cancer patients who died on the palliative care unit of our hospital between April 2012 and November 2016 were included.Measurements
Median duration between sialadenitis onset and death, concomitant treatment, average infusion volume per day, site of onset, symptoms, effectiveness of antibiotic treatment, and mean duration until symptomatic relief.Results
The incidence of sialadenitis was 2.9% (21 of 726 cases). The median duration from onset to death was 20 days (range 2–112); concomitant treatment included opioids in 11 patients (55%), anticholinergic drugs in six patients (28%), steroids in three patients (14%), and oxygen inhalation in five patients (23%); average infusion volume per day was 588 ± 307 mL; site of onset was submandibular gland in 12 patients (57%) and parotid gland in nine patients (42%); and symptoms were pain in 18 patients (85%) and fever in 13 patients (61%). Antibiotic treatment was administered in 18 patients (85%), and the mean duration until symptomatic relief was 4.0 ± 1.5 days.Conclusion
Sialadenitis is a rare complication in end-stage cancer patients; however, it is important to recognize that it can be associated with severe symptoms, including fever and pain. 相似文献15.

PurposePostoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are main issues after same-day surgery. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the electronic medical records of patients who underwent same-day operations under general anesthesia to identify the potential risk factors for PONV.MethodsRecords of 7759 adult patients who received general anesthesia with remifentanil were reviewed. The patients were assessed for the incidence and severity of PONV. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for PONV. A nomogram was established to predict PONV after same-day operations.FindingsOf 7759 patients, 2317 (29.9%) experienced PONV. In multiple logistic regression analysis, female sex, nonsmoker status, history of motion sickness or nausea, high body mass index (BMI), long surgical duration, laparoscopic procedure, and preoperative analgesic intake within 30 days were independent risk factors for PONV. No correlation was found between the severity of PONV and remifentanil exposure (odds ratio = 1.018; 95% CI, 0.861–1.204; P = 0.834) or remifentanil dose (odds ratio = 1.294; 95% CI, 0.760–2.205; P = 0.343). For the nomogram, which involved sex, laparoscopic procedure, BMI, history of nausea or motion sickness, and analgesic intake within 30 days, the receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the AUC values in the training and validation cohorts were 0.81 and 0.83, respectively.ImplicationsPredictors for PONV in same-day surgery include female sex, nonsmoker, history of motion sickness or nausea, high BMI, surgical duration >1 hour, laparoscopic procedure, and preoperative analgesic intake within 30 days. A new predictive model is feasible for predicting the incidence of PONV based on the preoperative and intraoperative predictors. 相似文献

Background
Critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPNM) increasingly is recognized as a source of disability in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The prevalence and impact of CIPNM on patients in the rehabilitation setting has not been established.Objectives
To determine the proportion of at-risk rehabilitation inpatients with evidence of CIPNM and the functional sequelae of this disorder.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
Tertiary academic rehabilitation hospital.Patients
Rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission for at least 72 hours.Methods
Electrodiagnostic studies were performed to evaluate for axonal neuropathy and/or myopathy in at least one upper and one lower limb.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary outcome was prevalence of CIPNM. Secondary outcomes included Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS), and discharge disposition.Results
A total of 33 participants were enrolled; 70% had evidence of CIPNM. Admission FIM score, discharge FIM, FIM gain, and FIM efficiency were 64.1, 89.9, 25.5, and 0.31 in those with CIPNM versus 78.4, 94.6, 16.1, and 0.33 in those without CIPNM, respectively. Average RLOS was 123 days versus 76 days and discharge to home was 57% versus 90% in the CIPNM and non-CIPNM groups, respectively.Conclusions
CIPNM is very common in rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission. It was associated with a lower functional status at rehabilitation admission, but functional improvement was at a similar rate to those without CIPNM. Longer RLOS stay may be required to achieve the same functional level.Level of Evidence

Introduction
Studies indicate similar survival and toxicity between pazopanib and sunitinib, but few have examined real-world outcomes among elderly patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The purpose of this retrospective claims analysis was to assess real-world overall survival (OS), healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and healthcare costs (both all-cause and associated with RCC diagnosis) among elderly advanced RCC patients starting pazopanib or sunitinib treatment.Methods
Advanced RCC patients aged 65 years or older who started first-line treatment with pazopanib or sunitinib (index drug; the initiation date was the index date) were identified from the 100% Medicare database plus Part D linkage (January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2014). Patients were stratified by index drug and matched 1:1 with use of propensity scores based on baseline characteristics. OS was assessed from the index date to death and compared by Kaplan–Meier analyses and univariable Cox models; patients were censored at the end of eligibility/data. Monthly HRU and costs from an intent-to-treat perspective were compared by Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Results
Baseline characteristics were balanced after matching (both N = 522). Treatment with pazopanib was associated with significantly longer median OS compared with treatment with sunitinib (18.2 months vs 14.6 months, respectively; log-rank p = 0.015). Pazopanib was associated with significantly lower monthly all-cause costs compared with sunitinib ($8845 vs $10,416, respectively), as well as lower inpatient costs associated with RCC diagnosis ($1542 vs $2522), fewer monthly inpatient admissions (0.179 vs 0.262), and shorter length of inpatient stay (1.375 days vs 1.883 days; all p ≤ 0.004).Conclusions
Among elderly Medicare patients with advanced RCC, first-line pazopanib tretament was associated with significantly longer OS, as well as lower healthcare costs and HRU, compared with first-line sunitinib treatment.20.
