BackgroundIn-hospital cardiac arrest during cardiac catheterization is not uncommon. The extent of variation in survival after cardiac arrest occurring in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) and underlying factors are not well known.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with higher survival rates after an index cardiac arrest in the CCL.MethodsWithin the GWTG (Get With The Guidelines)–Resuscitation registry, patients ≥18 years of age who had index in-hospital cardiac arrest in the CCL between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2017, were identified. Hierarchical models were used to adjust for demographics, comorbidities, and cardiac arrest characteristics to generate risk-adjusted survival rates (RASRs) to discharge for each hospital with ≥5 cases during the study period. Median OR was used to quantify the extent of hospital-level variation in RASR.ResultsThe study included 4,787 patients from 231 hospitals. The median RASR was 36% (IQR: 21%) and varied from a median of 20% to 52% among hospitals in the lowest and highest tertiles of RASR, respectively. The median OR was 1.71 (95% CI: 1.52-1.87), suggesting that the odds of survival for patients with identical characteristics with in-hospital cardiac arrest in the CCL from 2 randomly chosen different hospitals varied by 71%. Hospitals with greater annual numbers of cardiac arrest cases in the CCL had higher RASRs.ConclusionsEven in controlled settings such as the CCL, there is significant hospital-level variation in survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest, which suggests an important opportunity to improve resuscitation outcomes in procedural areas. 相似文献

Background
Patients with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) following the Fontan operation have a reported 50% mortality at 5 years after diagnosis.Objectives
The aim of this study was to review outcomes in patients with PLE following the Fontan operation.Methods
From 1992 to 2010, 42 patients (55% male) with PLE following the Fontan operation were identified from clinical databases at the Mayo Clinic. Data were collected retrospectively.Results
Mean age at PLE diagnosis was 18.9 ± 11.0 years. Initial Fontan operation was performed at 10.1 ± 10.8 years of age. Mean time from Fontan operation to PLE diagnosis was 8.4 ± 14.2 years. Survival was 88% at 5 years. Decreased survival was seen in patients with high Fontan pressure (mean >15 mm Hg; p = 0.04), decreased ventricular function (ejection fraction <55%; p = 0.03), and New York Heart Association functional class >2 at diagnosis (p = 0.04). Patients who died had higher pulmonary vascular resistance (3.8 ± 1.6 Wood units [WU] vs. 2.1 ± 1.1 WU; p = 0.017), lower cardiac index (1.6 ± 0.4 l/min/m2 vs. 2.7 ± 0.7 l/min/m2; p < 0.0001), and lower mixed venous saturation (53% vs. 66%; p = 0.01), compared with survivors. Factors were assessed at the time of PLE diagnosis. Treatments used more frequently in survivors with PLE included spironolactone (21 [68%]), octreotide (7 [21%]), sildenafil (6 [19%]), fenestration creation (15 [48%]), and relief of Fontan obstruction (7 [23%]).Conclusions
PLE remains difficult to treat; however, in the current era, survival has improved with advances in treatment. Further study is needed to better understand the mechanism of disease and ideal treatment strategy. 相似文献6.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Earlier studies have suggested that patients with hemochromatosis have poor post-transplantation survival. We aimed to compare patients with hemochromatosis to those with other causes of liver disease with regard to post-transplantation survival. METHODS: We compared the post-transplant survival of patients with and without hemochromatosis using data provided by the United Network for Organ Sharing on 50,306 adult, cadaveric liver transplantations performed in the United States between January 1, 1990, and July 18, 2006. RESULTS: During 1990-1996, the post-transplantation survival of patients with hemochromatosis (n = 177) at 1 year (79.1%), 3 years (71.8%), and 5 years (64.6%) was lower than the average 1-year (86.4%), 3-year (79.5%), and 5-year (73.8%) survival of all other transplant recipients (hazard ratio for death, 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-1.71). In contrast, during 1997-2006, patients with hemochromatosis (n = 217) had excellent 1-year (86.1%), 3-year (80.8%), and 5-year (77.3%) post-transplantation survival, which was not different from the 1-year (88.4%), 3-year (80.3%), and 5-year (74.0%) post-transplantation survival of all other transplant recipients (hazard ratio for death, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.65-1.22). Adjustment for donor and recipient characteristics did not substantially change these results. Compared with recipients without hemochromatosis, those with hemochromatosis were more likely to die of cardiovascular diseases and less likely to die as a result of graft failure. CONCLUSIONS: The post-transplantation survival of patients with hemochromatosis, which was previously reported to be poor, has been excellent in the United States during the past 10 years. 相似文献

Introduction and aim. Despite reports of increased incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) in the United States, the impact of age or influences of race and ethnicity are not clear. Disparities in iCCA outcomes across various population subgroups also are not readily recognized due to the rarity of this cancer. We examined ethnic, race, age, and gender variations in iCCA incidence and survival using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (1995-2014).Material and methods. We assessed age-adjusted incidence rates, average annual percentage change in incidence, and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause and iCCA-specific mortality.Results. Overall, 11,127 cases of iCCA were identified, with an age-adjusted incidence rate of 0.92 per 100,000. The incidence rate increased twofold, from 0.49 per 100,000 in 1995 to 1.49 per 100,000 in 2014, with an average annual rate of increase of 5.49%. The iCCA incidence rate was higher among persons age 45 years or older than those younger than 45 years (1.71 vs. 0.07 per 100,000), among males than females (0.97 vs. 0.88 per 100,000) and among Hispanics than non-Hispanics (1.18 vs. 0.89 per 100,000). Compared to non-Hispanics, Hispanics had poorer 5-year all-cause mortality (HR = 1.11, 95%CI: 1.05-1.19) and poorer iCCA-specific mortality (HR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.07-1.24). Survival rates were poor also for individuals age 45 years or older, men, and Blacks and American Indians/Alaska Natives. Conclusion.ConclusionThe results demonstrate ethnic, race, age and gender disparities in iCCA incidence and survival, and confirm continued increase in iCCA incidence in the United States. 相似文献

PurposeTo investigate the prevalence, related risk factors, and survival of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in a Mexican population.Material and methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study at Medica Sur Hospital in Mexico City with approval of the local research ethics committee. We found cases by reviewing all clinical records of inpatients between October 2005 and January 2016 who had been diagnosed with malignant liver tumors. Clinical characteristics and comorbidities were obtained to evaluate the probable risk factors and the Charlson index. The cases were staged based on the TNM staging system for bile duct tumors used by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and median patient survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsWe reviewed 233 cases of hepatic cancer. Amongst these, hepatocellular carcinomas represented 19.3% (n = 45), followed by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, which accounted for 7.7% (n = 18). The median age of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was 63 years, and most of them presented with cholestasis and intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. Unfortunately, 89% (n = 16) of them were in an advanced stage and 80% had multicentric tumors. Median survival was 286 days among patients with advanced stage tumors (25th-75th interquartile range, 174-645 days). No correlation was found between the presence of comorbidities defined by the Charlson index, and survival. We evaluated the presence of definite and probable risk factors for the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, that is, smoking, alcohol consumption, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.DiscussionWe found an overall prevalence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma of 7.7%; unfortunately, these patients were diagnosed at advanced stages. Smoking and primary sclerosing cholangitis were the positive risk factors for its development in this population. 相似文献

Son-biased sex ratios in the 2000 United States Census 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We document male-biased sex ratios among U.S.-born children of Chinese, Korean, and Asian Indian parents in the 2000 U.S. Census. This male bias is particularly evident for third children: If there was no previous son, sons outnumbered daughters by 50%. By contrast, the sex ratios of eldest and younger children with an older brother were both within the range of the biologically normal, as were White offspring sex ratios (irrespective of the elder siblings' sex). We interpret the found deviation in favor of sons to be evidence of sex selection, most likely at the prenatal stage. 相似文献

BACKGROUND
Arthritis affects 20 % of the adult US population and is associated with comorbid depression. Depression screening guidelines have been endorsed for high-risk groups, including persons with arthritis, in the hopes that screening will increase recognition and use of appropriate interventions.OBJECTIVE
To examine national rates of depression and depression screening for patients with arthritis between 2006 and 2010.PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN
We used nationally representative cross-sections of ambulatory visits in the United States from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 2006 to 2010, which included 18,507 visits with a diagnosis of arthritis. When weighted to the US population, this total represents approximately 644 million visits.MEASUREMENTS
Visits where arthritis was listed among diagnoses. Outcomes were survey-weighted estimates of depression and prevalence of depression screening among patients with arthritis across patient and physician characteristics.KEY RESULTS
Of the 644,419,374 visits with arthritis listed, 83,574,127 (13 %) were associated with a comorbid diagnosis of depression. The odds ratio for comorbid depression with arthritis was 1.42 (95 % CI 1.3, 1.5). Depression screening occurred at 3,835,000 (1 %) visits associated with arthritis. When examining the rates of depression screening between ambulatory visits with and without arthritis listed, there was no difference in depression screening rates; both were approximately 1 %. There was no difference in screening rates by provider type. Compared to visits with other common, chronic conditions, the prevalence of depression at arthritis visits was high (13 per 100 visits), although the prevalence of depression screening at arthritis visits was low (0.68 per 100 visits).CONCLUSIONS
Despite the high prevalence of depression with arthritis, screening for depression was performed at few arthritis visits, representing missed opportunities to detect a common, serious comorbidity. Improved depression screening by providers would identify affected patients, and may lead to appropriate interventions such as mental health referrals and/or treatment with anti-depressants. 相似文献16.

Prognostic Indicators for Survival After Curative Resection for Patients with Carcinoma of the Stomach 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Chew-Wun Wu Mao-Chih Hsieh Su-Shun Lo Shyh-Haw Tsay Anna F.-Y. Li Wing-Yiu Lui Fang-Ku P'Eng 《Digestive diseases and sciences》1997,42(6):1265-1269
This study aims to determine prognosticindicators among patient-, tumor-, and treatmentrelatedfactors of gastric cancer patients. A total of 510patients who underwent curative gastric resection were studied. Univariate analysis of patient-relatedfactors showed a significantly lower survival inpatients with a history of obstruction, hypoalbuminemia,and anemia. Tumor-related factors including gross appearance, location, and size of tumor; depthof cancer invasion; level, number, and frequency oflymph node metastasis; stromal reaction and tumor growthpattern; and histological classification allsignificantly affected survival. Surgical treatment relatedfactors such as total or distal subtotal gastrectomy,extent of lymphadenectomy, and combined resection ofadjacent organ(s) showed a statistically significant adverse influence on survival. Multivariateanalysis identified only four tumor-related factors— number of metastatic lymph nodes, depth ofcancer invasion, stromal reaction, and gross appearanceof the tumor — as independently affectingsurvival. These findings suggest that only fourtumor-related factors were prognostic indicators inpatients with gastric cancer. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Despite curative therapy, mortality remains high for hospitalized patients with tuberculosis (TB) in the United States. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of hospitalized patients with TB and to identify patient characteristics associated with in-hospital mortality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: Using the 2000 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, representing 20% of US hospital admissions, we identified 2,279 hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of TB (International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, codes, 010.xx to 018.xx). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Mortality was the main outcome measure. Logistic regression analyses were performed including age, gender, race, insurance status, income, Deyo-adapted Charlson comorbidity index (DCI), HIV status, hospital admission source, and hospital characteristics as explanatory variables. A disproportionate number of patients hospitalized with TB were men (64%), nonwhite (72%), lived in areas with median incomes of < $35,000 (50%), and had publicly funded health insurance (49%) or no health insurance (17%). The mortality rate for patients hospitalized for TB was greater than that for non-TB hospital admissions (4.9% vs 2.4%, respectively; p < 0.001). Patients with TB who died during hospitalization were older (mean age, 65.1 vs 49.4 years, respectively; p < 0.001), had greater comorbid illness (DCI, 1.1 vs 0.55, respectively; p < 0.001), required longer hospitalizations (19.9 vs 13.9 days, respectively; p < 0.001), and accumulated substantially higher charges ($79,585 vs $31,610, respectively; p < 0.001) than did patients with TB who were alive at hospital discharge. In a multivariable analysis, older age, comorbid illnesses, and emergency department admissions were independently associated with mortality. The total charges for TB hospitalizations in the United States in 2000 exceeded $385 million. CONCLUSIONS: Despite public health efforts, patients who are hospitalized with TB are frequently admitted through emergency care settings, have a high risk of in-hospital mortality, and incur substantial hospital charges. To improve TB health outcomes, more vigorous clinical management and prevention strategies should especially target older patients and those with comorbid medical conditions. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Many public health recommendations and clinical guidelines emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyles. Recent epidemiologic studies demonstrate that following a healthy lifestyle has substantial health benefits. The objectives of this study were to report on the prevalence of healthy lifestyle characteristics (HLCs) and to generate a single indicator of a healthy lifestyle. METHODS: National data for the year 2000 were obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which consists of annual, statewide, random digit-dialed household telephone surveys. We defined the following 4 HLCs: nonsmoking, healthy weight (body mass index [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters] of 18.5-25.0), consuming 5 or more fruits and vegetables per day, and regular physical activity (> or =30 minutes for > or =5 times per week). The 4 HLCs were summed to create a healthy lifestyle index (range, 0-4), and the pattern of following all 4 HLCs was defined as a single healthy lifestyle indicator. We report prevalences of each HLC and the indicator by major demographic subgroups. RESULTS: By using data from more than 153 000 adults, the prevalence (95% confidence interval) of the individual HLCs was as follows: nonsmoking, 76.0% (75.6%-76.4%); healthy weight, 40.1% (39.7%-40.5%); 5 fruits and vegetables per day, 23.3% (22.9%-23.7%); and regular physical activity, 22.2% (21.8%-22.6%). The overall prevalence of the healthy lifestyle indicator (ie, having all 4 HLCs) was only 3.0% (95% confidence interval, 2.8%-3.2%), with little variation among subgroups (range, 0.8%-5.7%). CONCLUSION: These data illustrate that a healthy lifestyle-defined as a combination of 4 HLCs-was undertaken by very few adults in the United States, and that no subgroup followed this combination to a level remotely consistent with clinical or public health recommendations. 相似文献
