Promoting effective transitions of care at hospital discharge: A review of key issues for hospitalists
Tập 2 Số 5 - Trang 314-323 - 2007
AbstractThe period following discharge from the hospital is a vulnerable time
for patients. About half of adults experience a medical error after hospital
discharge, and 19%–23% suffer an adverse event, most commonly an adverse drug
event. This article reviews several important challenges to providing
high‐quality care as patients leave the hospital. These include the
discontinuity between hospita...
Trends in COVID‐19 Risk‐Adjusted Mortality Rates
Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 90-92 - 2021
Early reports showed high mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19).
Mortality rates have recently been lower, raising hope that treatments have
improved. However, patients are also now younger, with fewer comorbidities. We
explored whether hospital mortality was associated with changing demographics at
a 3‐hospital academic health system in New York. We examined in‐hospital
mortality or ...

Systematic Review of Physiologic Monitor Alarm Characteristics and Pragmatic Interventions to Reduce Alarm Frequency
Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 136-144 - 2016
BACKGROUNDAlarm fatigue from frequent nonactionable physiologic monitor alarms
is frequently named as a threat to patient safety.PURPOSETo critically examine
the available literature relevant to alarm fatigue.DATA SOURCESArticles

Effect of Systemic Glucocorticoids on Mortality or Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With COVID-19
Tập 15 Số 8 - Trang 489-493 - 2020
The efficacy of glucocorticoids in COVID-19 is unclear. This study was designed
to determine whether systemic glucocorticoid treatment in COVID-19 patients is
associated with reduced mortality or mechanical ventilation. This observational
study included 1,806 hospitalized COVID-19 patients; 140 were treated with
glucocorticoids within 48 hours of admission. Early use of glucocorticoids was
not ass...
Early prediction of septic shock in hospitalized patients
Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 19-25 - 2010
AbstractBACKGROUND:Hospitalized patients who develop severe sepsis have
significant morbidity and mortality. Early goal‐directed therapy has been shown
to decrease mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock, though a delay in
recognizing impending sepsis often precludes this intervention.OBJECTIVE:To
identify early predictors of septic shock among hospitalized non‐intensive care
unit (ICU) medica...
Predictors of medication adherence postdischarge: The impact of patient age, insurance status, and prior adherence
Tập 7 Số 6 - Trang 470-475 - 2012
AbstractBACKGROUND:Optimizing postdischarge medication adherence is a target for
avoiding adverse events. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on predictors of
postdischarge medication adherence.METHODS:The Pharmacist Intervention for Low
Literacy in Cardiovascular Disease (PILL‐CVD) study used counseling and
follow‐up to improve postdischarge medication safety. In this secondary data
analysis, ...
Diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness of automated electronic sepsis alert systems: A systematic review
Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 396-402 - 2015
BACKGROUNDAlthough timely treatment of sepsis improves outcomes, delays in
administering evidence‐based therapies are common.PURPOSETo determine whether
automated real‐time electronic sepsis alerts can: (1) accurately identify sepsis
and (2) improve process measures and outcomes.DATA SOURCESWe systematically
searched MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Cumulative Index to Nursing
and Allied...
Shorter Versus Longer Courses of Antibiotics for Infection in Hospitalized Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Tập 13 Số 5 - Trang 336-342 - 2018
BACKGROUNDInfection is a leading cause of hospitalization with high morbidity
and mortality, but there are limited data to guide the duration of antibiotic
therapy.PURPOSESystematic review to compare outcomes of shorter versus longer
antibiotic courses among hospitalized adults and adolescents.DATA SOURCESMEDLINE
and Embase databases, 1990‐2017.STUDY SELECTIONInclusion criteria were human

The epidemiology of acute organ system dysfunction from severe sepsis outside of the intensive care unit
Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 243-247 - 2013
BACKGROUNDSevere sepsis is a common, costly, and complex problem, the
epidemiology of which has only been well studied in the intensive care unit
(ICU). However, nearly half of all patients with severe sepsis are cared for
outside the ICU.OBJECTIVETo determine rates of infection and organ system
dysfunction in patients with severe sepsis admitted to non‐ICU
services.DESIGNRetrospective cohort stud...
