Abstract:

ObjectivesVariation in hospital resource allocations across weekdays and weekends have led to studies of the ‘weekend effect’ for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), heart failure (HF) and stroke. However, few studies have explored the ‘weekend effect’ on unplanned readmission. We aimed to investigate 30-day unplanned readmissions and processes of care across weekend and weekday hospitalisations for STEMI, NSTEMI, HF and stroke.DesignWe grouped hospitalisations for STEMI, NSTEMI, HF or stroke into weekday or weekend admissions.

Abstract:

Older people prefer to remain living in their own home for as long as possible; however, many require support to do so through health and other care services provided in the home. This study aimed to explore the trends in usage of a home-based care service by older people in metropolitan Melbourne and factors associated with unplanned hospitalisations. This longitudinal study analysed episodes of home-based care for people aged ≥65 years between 2006 and 2015. An episode of care was defined as the period of time during which the home care services were provided to the client. Care episodes cul

The presence of multiple chronic conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) increases the risk of hospitalisation in older adults. We aimed to examine the association between different multimorbidity patterns and unplanned hospitalisations over 5 years. To that end, 2,250 community-dwelling individuals aged 60 years and older from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K) were studied. Participants were grouped into six multimorbidity patterns using a fuzzy c-means cluster analysis. The associations between patterns and outcomes were tested using Cox models and negative binom

Introduction: Hospitalisations can pose hazards and may not be an appropriate care setting for frail nursing home (NH) residents. Few studies have quantified the extent of NH resident hospitalisations in Singapore, hence we aimed to address this knowledge gap by studying characteristics of unplanned hospitalisations over a 1-year period. Method: This was a retrospective cohort study of 9922 subsidised residents across 59 NHs in Singapore, with analysis using administrative healthcare data.

Abstract Background A worldwide significant dynamic shift in the incidence and clinical course of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) has been observed in the past years. One key indicator that embodies this variability is the necessity for urgent hospitalisation due to exacerbations of Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The objective of this study was to assess this phenomenon in the Poznan Metropolis, one of the biggest metropolises in western Poland, over a 12-year timeframe.

Abstract:

Introduction: Cancer is a pervasive global problem with significant healthcare utilisation and cost. Emergency departments (EDs) see large numbers of patients with oncologic emergencies and act as “gate-keepers” to subsequent hospital admissions. A proportion of such hospital admissions are rapidly discharged within 2 days and may be potentially avoidable. Methods: Over a 6-month period, we conducted a retrospective audit of active cancer patients presenting to the ED with subsequent admission to the Department of Medical Oncology.

BackgroundAlthough there is a growing body of literature about the impact of asthma exacerbations during pregnancy on adverse perinatal outcomes, it is still unclear whether asthma exacerbations themselves or asthma severity are the driving factor for negative outcomes. This study aimed to estimate the associations between maternal asthma exacerbations and perinatal outcomes, and whether this differed by asthma treatment regime as a proxy for severity.MethodsWe included births of women with asthma in Sweden from July 2006 to November 2013 (n=33 829).

Abstract:

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is an irreversible fibrosing lung disorder with a poor prognosis. Current treatments slow the rate of decline in lung function and may influence survival, but they have a significant side-effect profile and so additional therapeutic options are required. People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have altered innate immunity and altered lung microbiota, with the bacterial burden relating to mortality. Two randomised controlled trials have demonstrated beneficial effects with co-trimoxazole (SEPTRIN®; Essential Generics Ltd, Egham, UK; Chemidex Generics L

Abstract:

IntroductionAsthma exacerbations are a leading cause of paediatric hospitalisations. Corticosteroids are key in the treatment of asthma exacerbations. Most current corticosteroids treatment regimens for children admitted with asthma exacerbation consist of a 5-day course of prednisone or prednisolone. However, these medications are associated with poor taste and significant vomiting, resulting in poor compliance with the treatment course. While some centres already use a short course of dexamethasone for treating children hospitalised with asthma, there is no evidence to support this practice
