Implementation of a structured emergency nursing framework results in significant cost benefit.

Background: Patients are at risk of deterioration on discharge from an emergency department (ED) to a ward, particularly in the first 72 h. The implementation of a structured emergency nursing framework (HIRAID) in regional New South Wales (NSW), Australia, resulted in a 50% reduction of clinical deterioration related to emergency nursing care. To date the cost implications of this are unknown.

Treatments costs associated with inpatient clinical deterioration.

Aims: This study aimed to quantify the health economic treatment costs of clinical deterioration of patients within 72 h of admission via the emergency department.

Methods: This study was conducted between March 2018 and February 2019 in two hospitals in regional New South Wales, Australia. All patients admitted via the emergency department were screened for clinical deterioration (defined as initiation of a medical emergency team call, cardiac arrest or unplanned admission to Intensive Care Unit) within 72 h through the site clinical deterioration databases.

Elucidation of the 'Honeycrisp' pedigree through haplotype analysis with a multi-family integrated SNP linkage map and a large apple (×) pedigree-connected SNP data set.

The apple () cultivar Honeycrisp has become important economically and as a breeding parent. An earlier study with SSR markers indicated the original recorded pedigree of 'Honeycrisp' was incorrect and 'Keepsake' was identified as one putative parent, the other being unknown. The objective of this study was to verify 'Keepsake' as a parent and identify and genetically describe the unknown parent and its grandparents.
