功能性鼻窦内窥镜手术100例疗效观察

目的：功能性鼻窦内窥镜手术的长期疗效。方法：采用Messerklinger术式为100例患者手术;并以传统术式治疗100例作对照。结果：内窥镜组临床治愈率81％,总有效率95％,明显优于传统手术组（P＜0．05）,手术并发症发生率为6％,明显低于传统组（P＜0．05）。结论：内窥镜手术长期疗效可靠,并发症少,复发率低。     

The association of Hospital Medicare beneficiary payer-mix,national quality rankings and outcomes following hepatopancreatic surgery

IntroductionWe sought to determine the impact of payer-mix on post-operative outcomes among Medicare beneficiaries following hepatopancreatic surgery.MethodsMedicare beneficiaries who underwent hepatopancreatic surgery were identified. Hospital quality markers were obtained from the Hospital General Information dataset. Hospitals were dichotomized (low/average vs. high) based on Medicare patient days versus all patient days irrespective of payer type.ResultsHigh Medicare patient-mix hospitals were more likely to be ranked higher than the national average relative to safety of care (29.4% vs. 38.1%) and timeliness of care (15.4% vs. 26.3%) versus low burden Medicare hospitals (both p < 0.001). However, Medicare beneficiaries who had hepatopancreatic surgery at a high Medicare patient-mix hospital were at higher risk of a complication (OR = 1.13, 95%CI 1.04–1.22), and death within 30-days (OR = 1.37, 95%CI 1.23–1.53) following surgery.ConclusionWhile hospitals caring for higher numbers of Medicare beneficiaries generally performed better on CMS quality indicators, these rankings did not equate to improved post-operative outcomes.
