Objective: Hospital death patterns and predictors can illustrate the general image of certain parameters of the healthcare system. Studies related to the pattern of in-hospital deaths in Mongolia are lacking. Thus, we aimed to determine the patterns and predictors of death among hospitalized adult patients in Mongolia in 2020. Methods: Data from 86 hospitals providing inpatient care in Mongolia were used. 1795 hospital deaths from 296,083 hospital admissions were analyzed between the 1st of January and the 30th of June 2020. Results: The mean age of the participants was 56.3 ± 15.3 years, 59.4

The aim of this study is to examine the trend of hospitalisation related to poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances in Australia between 1998 and 2019.

The short-term association between ambient particulate matter ≤2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) and hospital admissions is not fully understood. Studies of this association with hospital admission costs are also scarce, especially in entire hospitalized populations. We examined the association between ambient PM2.5 and all-cause hospital admissions, the corresponding total charges, and the total charges per patient by analyzing the hospital admission data of 2 years from 628 hospitals in 12 cities in Japan. We used generalized additive models with quasi-Poisson regression for hospital admission

As SARS-CoV-2 infections continue to cause hospital admissions around the world, there is a continued need to accurately assess those at highest risk of death to guide resource use and clinical management. The ISARIC 4C mortality score provides mortality risk prediction at admission to hospital based on demographic and physiological parameters. Here we evaluate dynamic use of the 4C score at different points following admission. Score components were extracted for 6,373 patients admitted to Barts Health NHS Trust hospitals between 1st August 2020 and 19th July 2021 and total score calculated e
