Mortality increased with age from 9.9% in patients younger than 45 years, 11.8% in patients aged 45 to 65 years, and 18.1% in patients older than 65 years (χ2 trend = 40.5, P<.001). Women had a higher mortality rate than men (15% vs 13%; odds ratio [OR], 1.18; P<.05). ...
Lung cancer incidence increases with age, peaking between 65 and 84 years old [3]. The 5-year survival rate for NSCLC varies greatly by stage, ranging from 68% in stage IB to only 0-10% in stages IVa-IVb [4]. NSCLC often remains undiagnosed until it reaches an advanced stage [5]....
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia prophylaxis should be considered in patients who receive long-term corticosteroids. Corticosteroids may not be needed in asymptomatic patients with CNS metastases discovered by screening or in patients whose only symptoms are seizures, which may be best palliated with...
We did not explore possible causes of death, but a previous study has shown that fall-related injuries and pneumonias contributed to mortality [50]. Shorter survival due to onset of dementia symptoms ≥ 65 years has also been shown in studies elsewhere [17, 52]. Increased mortality due...
Children under five years of age are exempted from paying fees at any government health facility. In the five years prior to the 2002 National Census, the infant mortality rate estimated by indirect methods (probability of dying by the first birthday) was 129/1000 and 126/1000 in Lindi and ...
Post-ICU clinics are an important tool for evaluating and managing PICS and also may represent a way to improve care within the ICU. Clinical Question A 56-year-old woman with a history of diabetes and obesity was admitted to the ICU for pneumonia. Her hospitalization was complicated by ARDS...
The common predictors of preterm neonatal deaths are gestational age, birth weight, lower APGAR score, respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis and asphyxia1,11,12,13,14,15. As of 2014, Ethiopia was among the top ten countries with the highest number of preterm births globall...
Among 11,321 foals, 1,210 did not survive to 45 days of age. In addition, 9,034 foals entered racing stables without veterinary problems. So, rate of survival foal and entering stable were 89.3% and 79.8% respectively during 10 years. Of 79 foals were dead through growing in Jeju: ...
Secondary end points were progression-free survival, response rate, duration of response, and curative (defined as R0 status) resection rate. Results In the as-treated population (n = 802; median age, 66 years; 282 [35.2%] women), 604 (75.3%) had left-sided tumors. Median follow-...
The 30-day mortality rate was 1.8% (3/167 patients). There were 2 postoperative deaths caused by septic multiorgan failure after postoperative pneumonia. One patient postoperatively developed sudden cardiac failure. The mean follow-up period of surviving patients (censored patients) was 58.6 ± 42....
