Age Extremes: Considerations for the Pediatric and Geriatric PatientL. Stigall
Increased pediatric participation in the health and medical care of adolescents has been encouraged over the last several years, both through the redefinition of the age range of pediatric practice by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and by the 1978 Task Force Report on Pediatric Education. Where...
Dosage in Pediatric Patients [3 months to 17 years of age] (2.3): Dosing should be based on the patient's body surface area. For all indications, administer a single 70-mg/m2 loading dose on Day 1, followed by 50 mg/m2 once daily thereafter. Maximum loading dose and ...
Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening fungal disease with significant mortality rates. Timely diagnosis and treatment greatly enhance patient outcomes. This study aimed to explore the association between patient age and the development of IA, as well as the potential implications for risk ...
6,7 For example, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data, as evaluated in the Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients (SRTR) Annual Report, stratifies graft and patient survival outcomes by the following age range categories: less than 1, 1 to 5, 6 to 11, 12 to...
Clinical studies have provided patient RIP values and age-matched normal values, but they lack global evaluation of normative data for a wide age range of pediatric subjects. Herein, we compiled normative RIP indices from numerous studies for a large range of pediatric ages. From these data, we...
Population counts are reported by the database to the nearest 10 or represented as less than 10 if they range from 0 to 9 to prevent patient identification. The platform has been applied to validation and epidemiologic studies across other disciplines.15,16 In this analysis, all active non...
(Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care)32. The median age of this cohort was 71 years with an interquartile range of 61–80 and 2097 (8.5%) patients were male (Supplementary Fig.1d, h). Baseline characteristics of this cohort are shown in Supplementary Table11. In the multivariate ...
(6–7%) mortality, respectively. Inverse associations in the lower TC range were strongest at the ages for which the mean TC levels were highest (men aged 45–54 years and women aged 55–64 years), while positive associations in the upper TC range were strongest in the youngest ages (<...
Malaria admission above the age of 10 years was relatively uncommon at all transmission sites. There are several, not mutually exclusive, potential explanations as to why malaria hospitalisation becomes uncommon in late childhood across a wide range of transmission intensities. It may be that few ...
