The inclusion criteria for the analysis and simultaneous queries to search for data in the database were as follows: I67.6 as ICD-10 code for nonpyogenic thrombosis of intracranial venous system; age up to 18 years old at admission to hospital; and hospitalization at pediatric neurology or neur...
Maxillary sinus floor elevation is a widely used technique to enhance bone height in the posterior maxillary region [6]. Initially, this procedure relied on autologous bone grafts from intraoral or extraoral donor sites [7,8]. Over time, these grafts have been supplemented or replaced by various...
to account for potential residual confounding, we estimated high-dimensional propensity scores that included 200 empirically identified covariates with the strongest potential for confounding in addition to the prespecified covariates.31 Second, as the risk of infection with antibiotic resistant organisms...
Antibiotics are only sometimes indicated for acute sinusitis, a commonly diagnosed infection in the ambulatory setting and an important target for antibiotic stewardship. However, assessment of the appropriateness of antibiotic use for sinusitis is based on clinical signs and symptoms, and therefore ...
The most common presenting symptoms were fever (84%), headache (87%) and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (57%). Median symptom duration was 10 days (IQR 5-21) and 55 cases (51%) received oral antibiotics prior to admission. The most frequent complications were epidural empyema...
Background: Because COVID-19 is thought to be pro-thrombotic and could theoretically increase the severity of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), we sought to examine the outcomes of CVST patients with comorbid COVID-19 infection. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis using the ...
defibrillation – ICDpacinglead extractionBackground: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device and coronary sinus (CS) lead extraction is required due to the occurrence of system infection, malfunction, or upgrade. Published series of CS lead extraction are limited by small sample sizes. We ...
Sinusitis is a rare cause of intracranial infection in children. While intracranial complications of sinusitis are rare, the morbidity and mortality remain high. Subdural empyema is recognized as the most common sinogenic intracranial complication. We undertook a review of our cases of subdural ...
The factors considered as predictors of mortality in the general population corresponded to Motor Vehicle Accident, Frontonasal Duct Obstruction, Neuroinfection, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission, as well as GCS at discharge. In the patients who underwent surgery, predictors of mortality ...
