Trauma is one of the most critical public health issues worldwide, leading to death and disability and influencing all age groups. Therefore, there is great interest in models for predicting mortality in trauma patients admitted to the ICU. The main obje
The DHR rate was calculated as the number of index admissions with a DHR within 30 days divided by the total number of index admissions. To assess potential policy impact, we calculated excess readmission ratios (ERRs) using the Medicare formula2 (eFigure 2 in the Supplement) used by the ...
We defined patient severity based on expected mortality calculated from characteristics included in the risk adjustment formula. This approach does not capture unmeasured characteristics that may influence patient severity. In addition, we were unable to differentiate between actual changes in severity and...
Nonetheless, the age-standardized global suicide death rate decreased by 32.7% between 1990 and 201614. Between low- and middle-income countries in the European region (0.9%) and the Western Pacific region (48.3%), there is a significant regional variation in the proportion of suicides resulting...
Survivability calculated using a previous formula was above 50% in 70% of patients. The Kappa value between the two estimations was only 0.247. CONCLUSION: The PCAD rate of Gangnam-gu area was estimated to be 53.3~70%. No bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a delay in EMS act...
This study showed that TyG index was positively correlated with in-hospital mortality rate. In addition, the predictive value of high TyG index for in-hospital death was more significant in underweight patients. IR was positively correlated with the incidence of microvascular and cardiovascular ...
Today, malaria continues to be a significant threat to public health and remains one of the leading causes of death among children under five years of age in Rwanda [2, 3]. From 2017 to 2022, while malaria cases rose in some WHO African countries, Rwanda reduced its cases from 5.9 millio...
(in part) the product of legal manoeuvers and, in the case of Syria, sleight of hand: Assad’s counterterrorism laws criminalised all medical aid to the opposition. That legal armature extends beyond domestic legislation: international humanitarian law and other quasi-legal formularies (including...
23 Death could occur for any reason (all-cause mortality). Transfers were attributed to discharging hospitals when calculating 30-day and 90-day mortality rates after discharge to create identical hospital cohorts for readmission and mortality analyses. In contrast, transfers were attributed to the ...
Single population proportion formula was used to calculate the required sample size by considering the following assumptions: n is required sample size, P is incidence of amputation which was 29%, the rate found at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania [12], Z is standardized normal distribution va...
