Abstract:
Introduction Quality-of-life and severity scores are both popular measures in medicine. For deep venous obstruction, the VEINES-QOL/Sym and venous clinical severity score (VCSS) are widely used. Combining a patient-reported outcome with a clinical severity score should give a more sensitive outcome for treatment results. To establish and compare their suitability for deep venous disease, we compared the outcomes of both scores in a group of patients who were interventionally treated for deep venous disease.

Abstract:
Outcome assessment is an important criterion for the objective determination of the risks and benefits of a given procedure. The choice of an assessment instrument is critical in order to generate meaningful and relevant data. Assessment instruments are platforms for comparison and stratification of information that provide a common ground and unified language for discussions on disease processes and therapies. Like many complex conditions, venous disease has benefited from the institution of several assessment instruments designed to clarify elements of the disease process. Among these is the

Historically, VAE has most often been associated with sitting position craniotomies. However, there is now a clear recognition of the potential risk of this complication during craniotomy in any position, albeit with lesser incidence and severity. VAE can also occur during cervical spine surgery in the sitting position, although less often. While in many circumstances VAE may be subclinical and even undetected, it h

Abstract:
The clinical outcomes measured in rheumatoid arthritis span three broad areas. Firstly, disease measures reflecting the presence and severity of joint inflammation. Secondly, end-organ damage particularly the extent and severity of joint damage. Thirdly, quality of life measures made by patients indicating the impact of their disease on their lives. Some are disease specific such as the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Others are generic and applicable across all disease, such as the Short Form 36 (SF-36) and EuroQol. Several new patient-assessed outcome measures have been developed, such as the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID) score. Whether one of these new measures becomes dominant is currently uncertain. Clinical outcomes need to measure what is intended and have face, content, construct, and criterion validity. They also need to discriminate between states of interest reliably, exhibit sensitivity to change, and be easily measured and applied, given constraints of time, money, and interpretability. Different clinical outcomes are closely interrelated. Finally, clinical outcomes such as the EuroQol can be used to generate quality-adjusted life years (QALY), which are used in health economic studies. Measuring disease outcomes is essential for good medical care, which can only improve when clinicians know the results of their treatments and incorporate patients’ views.

Abstract:
Early detection of deterioration at hospitals could be beneficial in terms of reducing mortality and morbidity rates and costs. In this paper, we present a model based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network used in deep learning to predict the illness severity of patients in advance. Hence, by predicting health severity, this model can be used to identify deteriorating patients. Our proposed model utilizes continuous monitored vital signs, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure automatically collected from patients during hospitalization. In this study, a short-time prediction using a sliding window approach is applied. The performance of the proposed model was compared with the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network, a feedforward class of neural network, based on R2 score and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metrics. The results showed that the LSTM has a better performance and could predict the illness severity of patients more accurately.

Abstract:
In the other type of health care database that we discuss in this chapter, there are multiple columns for each patient observation. It is more difficult to find both the most frequently occurring codes, or to find patients with specific codes for the purpose of extraction. For this reason, many studies focus on the primary diagnosis or procedure. We will provide the programming necessary to find the most frequent codes and to find the patients who have a specific condition. Another aspect of preprocessing we will explore in this chapter using the National Inpatient Sample is that of propensity scoring. When it is not possible to perform a randomized, controlled trial, an attempt is made to emulate such a trial by comparing two observational subgroups. The two groups are matched based upon demographic factors and related patient conditions. It is possible to define a level of patient severity and then to match patients with the severity level as part of the propensity score.

Abstract:
The clinical examination of the musculoskeletal system is the cornerstone in the diagnostic process of rheumatic diseases. Next to this the clinical examination is important in evaluating the course of the different rheumatic diseases and the response to interventions. For instance in rheumatoid arthritis the joint scores—number of painful and swollen joints—are important in the evaluation of the disease activity of the patient. In systemic sclerosis the severity of skin involvement is measured with a skin score such as the modified Rodnan skin score, and in ankylosing spondylitis the spinal mobility is measured using different clinical scores. In general all these examinations should be carried out as far as possible in a standardized, systematic way.

Abstract:
Clinical manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE) usually are non-specific. In order to facilitate proper diagnosis, clinical prediction rules were derived. The best studied models are the Wells criteria for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and the Geneva score for pulmonary embolism. They classify patients into different categories of clinical pretest VTE probability. Pulmonary embolism prevalence is approximately 10% in low-, 30% in moderate-, and up to 65% in high-probability categories. Plasma D-dimer levels are elevated in not only VTE but also in other conditions. A D-dimer assay should be used in combination with pretest VTE clinical probability. A normal high-sensitivity D-dimer level excludes pulmonary embolism in patients with low/intermediate or non-high VTE probability, while in the high probability category does not allow VTE to be safely excluded. Age-adjusted D-dimer thresholds (age × 10 μ‎g/L above 50 years) can limit the need for imaging methods without increasing the rate of missed diagnoses in non-high clinical probability patients.

The decision to amputate rather than reconstruct a severely injured limb (‘mangled extremity’) has historically been one of the most difficult choices faced by a trauma surgeon. The surgeon’s responsibility is heightened by the knowledge that delayed or incorrect decision-making may lead to worse outcomes. Unfortunately, hard data upon which to base reliable decisions remain elusive. A prospective analysis of the use of scoring systems including the Limb Salvage Index, the Predictive Salvage Index, the Hanover Fracture Scale, and the NISSSA (Nerve injury, Ischaemia, Soft-tissue contamination, Skeletal damage, Shock, Age) and MESS (Mangled Extremity Severity Score) scores did not validate the clinical utility of any of the scoring algorithms.

Abstract:
The joints of the human body, especially the knees, are continually exposed to varying loads as a person goes about their day. These loads may contribute to damage to tissues including cartilage and the development of degenerative medical conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA). The most commonly used method currently for classifying the severity of knee OA is the Kellgren and Lawrence system, whereby a grade (a KL score) from 0 to 4 is determined based on the radiographic evidence. However, radiography cannot directly depict cartilage damage, and there is low inter-observer precision with this method. As such, there has been a significant activity to find non-invasive and radiation-free methods to quantify OA, in order to facilitate the diagnosis and the appropriate course of medical action and to validate the development of therapies in a research or clinical setting. A number of different teams have noted that variation in knee joint sounds during different loading conditions may be indicative of structural changes within the knee potentially linked to OA. Here we will review the use of acoustic methods, such as acoustic Emission (AE) and vibroarthrography (VAG), developed for the monitoring of knee OA, with a focus on the issues surrounding data collection and analysis.
