Background: Postneonatal cerebral palsy (PNCP) is rare and requires large databases to be studied over time.
Objectives: To study the time trend of prevalence of PNCP overall and by cause, and to describe the clinical characteristics of children with PNCP according to cause and compared with children with pre/peri/neonatal CP (PPNCP).
Methods: The Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) database was used.
Objective: Five definitions of clinical instability have been published to assess the appropriateness and safety of discharging patients hospitalised for pneumonia. This study aimed to quantify the level of agreement between these definitions and estimate their discriminatory accuracy in predicting post-discharge adverse events.
Study Design And Setting: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 1038 adult patients discharged alive following hospitalisation for pneumonia.
Background And Objectives: To report on prevalence, associated impairments, severity, and neuroimaging findings in children with ataxic cerebral palsy (CP).
Methods: In children coded as having ataxic CP in the Central database of Joint Research Center-Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (JRC-SCPE) and born during 1980-2010, birth characteristics, severity profiles including associated impairments, neuroimaging patterns, and the presence of syndromes were analyzed. Definitions were according to validated SCPE guidelines.
Aim: This paper introduces the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) classification of events contributing to postneonatally acquired cerebral palsy, presents its interrater reliability, and describes the cases identified in the SCPE database.
Method: The development of the classification, based on literature review and expert discussions, resulted in six main categories and 19 subcategories. The first chronological event designated as the primary event was mainly reported.
Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on assessing the rate of avoidable 30-day readmissions for patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and highlights the lack of a clear definition for what constitutes an avoidable readmission.
- Conducted as a cohort study in two French hospitals, the analysis looked at clinical records from 2014 and involved reviews by board-certified physicians to determine whether readmissions were avoidable based on specific criteria.
- Out of 1,150 patients hospitalized for CAP, 9.4% experienced unplanned readmissions, and the study found that 13.9% of these were deemed potentially avoidable, indicating room for improvement in hospital care and discharge planning.
