| 1 | Predictors of thirty-day readmission in nonagenarians presenting with acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a nationwide analysis显示文摘BACKGROUD Acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF)is a common but poorly studied cause of hospital admissions among nonagenarians.This study aimed to evaluate predictors of thirty-day readmission,in-hospital mortality,length of stay,and hospital charges in nonagenarians hospitalized with acute HFpEF.METHODS Patients hospitalized between January 2016 and December 2018 with a primary diagnosis of diastolic heart failure were identified using ICD-10 within the Nationwide Readmission Database.We excluded patients who died in index admission,and discharged in December each year to allow thirty-day follow-up.Univariate regression was performed on each variable.Vari-ables with P-value<0.2 were included in the multivariate regression model.RESULTS From a total of 45,393 index admissions,43,646 patients(96.2%)survived to discharge.A total of 7,437 patients(15.6%)had a thirty-day readmission.Mean cost of readmission was 43,265 United States dollars(USD)per patient.Significant predictors of thirty-day readmission were chronic kidney disease stage III or higher[adjusted odds ratio(aOR)=1.20,95%CI:1.07−1.34,P=0.002]and diabetes mellitus(aOR=1.18,95%CI:1.07−1.29,P=0.001).Meanwhile,female(aOR=0.90,95%CI:0.82−0.99,P=0.028)and palliative care encounter(aOR=0.27,95%CI:0.21−0.34,P<0.001)were associated with lower odds of readmission.Cardiac arrhythmia(aOR=1.46,95%CI:1.11−1.93,P=0.007)and aortic stenosis(aOR=1.36,95%CI:1.05−1.76,P=0.020)were amongst predictors of in-hospital mortality.CONCLUSIONS In nonagenarians hospitalized with acute HFpEF,thirty-day readmission is common and costly.Chronic co-morbidities predict poor outcomes.Further strategies need to be developed to improve the quality of care and prevent the poor outcome in nonagenarians. | Ahmed Maraey Mahmoud Salem Nabila Dawoud Mahmoud Khalil Ahmed Elzanaty Hadeer Elsharnoby Ahmed Younes Ahmed Hashim Amit Alam | 2021 | Journal of Geriatric Cardiology2021,18,12: | 3 |

| 3 | Varied presentations, magnitude, and outcome of traumatic neck injuries at a level I trauma center显示文摘Introduction:Traumatic neck injuries(TNIs)constitute 5%–10%of all trauma cases.These injuries can be caused by either penetrating or blunt trauma.Patients can have a varied presentation like cut injury over the neck,bleeding,neck swelling,breathing difficulty,dysphagia,etc.Methods:This was a retrospective observational study conducted at a level I trauma center in India from January 2016 to March 2020.One hundred thirty patients who required admission and intervention due to TNIs were included in this study.Results:One hundred thirty patients with neck injuries were included in this study.Males were predominant(91.5%)with the age ranging from 10 to 70years.The most common mechanism of injury was physical assault(40.7%),followed by road traffic injury(23.8%)and self-inflicted injuries(18.4%).Penetrating trauma was predominant.Open neck wound with bleeding was the most common presenting symptom.Zone II injuries were more common(83.8%)followed by zone I(12.3%)and zone III(3.8%).Soft tissue injury including skin,platysma breach,and strap muscle injury was present in 46.9% of patients.Laryngopharyngeal injury was present in 13.8%,tracheal injury in 28.5%,vascular injury in 13.8%,and esophageal injury in 4.6% of patients.Conclusion:Penetrating neck trauma is more common than blunt in developing countries like India.Advanced Trauma Life Support(ATLS)protocol guides the initial management.The definitive management depends on the type and mechanism of injury,anatomical level,severity,and the organ injured. | Parvez Mohi Ud Din Dar Jogendra Boddeda Supreet Kaur Pratyusha Priyadarshini Abhinav Kumar Dinesh Bagaria Narendra Choudhary Junaid Alam Sushma Sagar Subodh Kumar Amit Gupta Biplab Mishra | 2022 | Emergency and Critical Care Medicine2022,2,2: | 0 |
| 4 | Management and outcome of pancreatic trauma:a 6-year experience at a level I trauma center显示文摘Background: Pancreatic trauma (PT) accounts for less than 1% of all trauma admissions. Occasionally, PT is undetected during theprimary survey and becomes apparent only when complications arise. It occurs in up to 5% of blunt abdominal trauma cases and 12%of individuals with penetrating abdominal injuries. Management is determined by the status of the main pancreatic duct and associatedinjuries.Methods: This was an ambispective study conducted at the Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Center, All India Institute ofMedical Sciences,New Delhi, from January 2015 to December 2017 (retrospective), and January 2019 to December 2020 (prospective). In total, 113patients with PT were included in this study.Results:We analyzed the data of 113 patients with PT included in this study, of whichmales predominated (93.7%). Blunt PT was presentin 101 patients (89.4%) and penetrating PT in 12 patients (10.6%). Half of the patients (51.3%) had the American Association for theSurgery of Trauma grade III PT, followed by grade II (18.6%), and grade I (15%). Of the total 113 patients, 68 (60.2%) were treated withoperative management, and 45 (39.8%) with nonoperative management. Distal pancreatectomy, with or without splenectomy, was themost common procedure performed in our study, followed by drainage. There were 27 mortalities (23.8%) during the study period, ofwhich 7 were directly related to PT and 20 were due to other organ-related sepsis and hemorrhagic shock.Conclusion: Pancreatic trauma is rare but challenging for trauma surgeons, with persistent management controversies. Early diagnosisis important for favorable results;however, a delay in diagnosis has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Low-grade pancreaticinjuries can be successfully managed nonoperatively, whereas high-grade pancreatic injuries require surgical intervention. | Abhinav Anand Parvez Mohi Ud Din Dar Preksha Rani Supreet Kaur Joses Dany James Junaid Alam Pratyusha Priyadarshini Abhinav Kumar Dinesh Bagaria Narendra Choudhary Subodh Kumar Amit Gupta Sushma Sagar Biplab Mishra | 2023 | Emergency and Critical Care Medicine2023,3,1: | 0 |
