Infectious diseases included sepsis (ICD-10 code: A40 and 41), and pneumonia (ICD-10 code: J15 and 69). The secondary outcome was the time interval until the incidence of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, cerebral infarction, sepsis, or pneumonia. For survival time analysis, survival...
Because patients with aspiration pneumonia have a higher risk of recurrent pneumonia31, and the long-term mortality rate of aspiration pneumonia is very high, it is crucial to manage dysphagia properly to prevent recurrent aspiration pneumonia in patients with PD. The risk factors associated with ...
Particularly, older patients who may have more comorbid diseases, or who are more likely to be taking medications that interact with antibiotics, are at high risk of harm from antibiotics and delayed diagnosis.33-35 Strengths and Limitations This study has limitations. First, because the ...
Previous studies that assessed the risk of cardiovascular outcomes in survivors of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were likely limited by lack of generalizability and selection of controls nonrepresentative of a counterfactual situation regarding COV

Key variables associated with poor outcomes were having a moderate- or high-risk condition (chronic or immunocompromising), intensive care unit admission, and prior 90-day admission.#The burden of PD among hospitalized pediatric patients in the US remains substantial. Our study highlights the burden...

Children who received Hib vaccination may have a lower likelihood of CAP (since Hib is an etiology of pediatric CAP) or they may live in conditions that reduce their risk of respiratory diseases. We made every effort to link outcomes in the SCH database to the CDC vaccine registry, but it...

Results During an 8-year period, 120 patients with encoded diagnoses of 'pneumococcal bacteremia' (ICD code 041.2) and 'pneumonia' (ICD code 486) (n=17) or 'pneumococcal pneumonia' (ICD code 481) (n=103) were identified in our computerised hospital's diagnosis data. After reviewing the ...
