Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to investigate changes in health resource usage, medications, and lab results in the years leading up to a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using data from Maccabi Health Services records.
  • - Out of 5,643 patients analyzed, significant laboratory changes occurred in the two years before diagnosis, with increased white blood cells and C-reactive protein, and decreased hemoglobin, while other parameters showed progressive decline starting five years before diagnosis.
  • - The findings suggest that tracking these changes could lead to the development of a composite score or referral system to help identify IBD earlier during primary care visits.

Mortality prevention in T2D elderly population having Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) may be possible thorough risk assessment and predictive modeling. In this study we investigate the ability to predict mortality using heterogeneous Electronic Health Records data. Temporal abstraction is employed to transform the heterogeneous multivariate temporal data into a uniform representation of symbolic time intervals, from which then frequent Time Intervals Related Patterns (TIRPs) are discovered.

Mortality in the type II diabetic elderly population can sometimes be prevented through intervention, for which risk assessment through predictive modeling is required. Since Electronic Health Records data are typically heterogeneous and sparse, the use of Temporal Abstraction and time intervals mining to discover frequent Time Intervals Related Patterns (TIRPs) is employed. While TIRPs are used as features for a predictive model, the temporal relations between them in general, and among each TIRP's instances are not represented.

Purpose: To examine the implementation, clinical effects, and adherence of occupational physicians to the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) published in 2003 in Israel, regarding return to work following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: We analyzed 3 populations referred to Maccabi Health Services occupational clinics for fitness for work examinations following AMI, either before the guidelines were published (group 1), after their first publications in 2003 (group 2) or after they were re-published in Harefuah Journal in 2007 (group3).

Results: The documentation among groups 1,2,3 of different parameters like years of education (18.

The objectives of the study were to describe the epidemiologic, microbiologic, and imaging characteristics of first 44 UTI episode in hospitalized infants and children < 2 years of age. A UTI episode was diagnosed based on suprapubic aspiration or urinary catheterization and report of a significant bacterial growth of true uropathogens. Two thousand two hundred ninety-four UTI episodes were recorded during 2009-2013 in 1694 patients; 1350 (79.

A total of 739 (225 H1N1(+)) children with a diagnosis of acute respiratory infection were hospitalized during July to December 2009. The H1N1(+) children were compared with 225 randomly enrolled H1N1(-) children with an influenza-like illness. As compared with influenza-like illness patients, patients with 2009 influenza A/H1N1 were characterized by older age, more vomiting, less hypoxemia and wheezing, lower white blood cell counts, less neutrophilia, and severe lymphopenia.
