"Emergency Room Evaluation and Recommendations" and Incident Hospital Admissions in Older People with Major Neurocognitive Disorders Visiting Emergency Department: Results of an Experimental Study.

Introduction: Older people with major neurocognitive disorders (MNCDs) visiting the emergency department (ED) are at high risk of hospital admissions. The "Emergency Room Evaluation and Recommendations" (ER2) tool decreases the length of stay (LOS) in the hospital when older people visiting ED are hospitalized after an index ED visit, regardless of their cognitive status. Its effect on hospital admissions has not yet been examined in older people with MNCD visiting ED.

"Emergency Room Evaluation and Recommendations" (ER2) Tool for the Screening of Older Emergency Department Visitors With Major Neurocognitive Disorders: Results From the ER Database.

The Emergency Room Evaluation and Recommendation (ER) is an application in the electronic medical file of patients visiting the Emergency Department (ED) of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH; Montreal, Quebec, Canada). It screens for older ED visitors at high risk of undesirable events. The aim of this study is to examine the performance criteria (i.

Prognostic factors of head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review.

Background: Head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HNCSCC) is a non-melanoma skin cancer that is mostly caused by solar ultraviolet radiation exposure. While it usually has an excellent prognosis, a subset of patients (5%) develops nodal metastasis and has poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature and evaluate the prognostic factors of HNCSCC in order to better understand which patients are the most likely to develop metastatic disease.

Emergency room evaluation and recommendations for older emergency department users: results of the ER experimental study.

Purpose: The study aims to examine whether the use of "emergency room evaluation and recommendations" (ER) tool in daily ED practice reduces the length of stay in ED and hospital, and hospital admission in older patients visiting ED on stretcher.

Methods: A total of 3931 older patients visiting ED of the Jewish General Hospital (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) on stretcher were recruited in this non-randomized, pre-post intervention, single arm, prospective and longitudinal open-label trial. ED staff and patients were blinded of the ER score and patients received usual ED care over the observational phase, whereas ED staff were informed about the ER score and patients had usual care plus interventions based on tailor-made geriatric recommendations during the interventional phase.

Prognosis tools for short-term adverse events in older emergency department users: result of a Québec observational prospective cohort.

Background: The "Program of Research on the Integration of Services for the Maintenance of Autonomy" (PRISMA-7) and "Emergency room evaluation and recommendations" (ER) are both clinical tools used in Québec Emergency Departments (EDs) for screening of older ED users at higher risk of poor outcomes, such as prolonged length of stay (LOS) in EDs and in hospital. The study aimed to: 1) examine whether the PRISMA-7 and ER risk levels were associated with length of stays in ED and hospital, as well as hospital admission; and 2) compare the criteria performance (i.e.

Poor Drug Sustainability in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients in Clinical Remission on Thiopurine Monotherapy.

Background: Immunomodulator monotherapy is an important component in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, there is conflicting literature about thiopurines maintaining long-term remission in patients with active IBD.

Aim: To determine the durable clinical remission rate in adults with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) on thiopurine monotherapy over 5 years.

Clinical presentation and airway management of tracheal atresia: A systematic review.

Objectives: Tracheal atresia (TA) is a rare congenital condition that typically requires an unexpected and emergent resuscitation in the delivery room. The mortality rate associated is very high, with only a few long-term survival cases reported. We describe the findings of a systematic review on the clinical presentation and airway management of TA.

Meta-analysis of microRNAs expression in head and neck cancer: uncovering association with outcome and mechanisms.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is often diagnosed at advanced stages, incurring significant high mortality and morbidity. This review explored the risk stratification of miRNAs, and investigated the impact of miRNA networking in HNSCC prognostication. We performed a meta-analysis and a systematic literature search on online databases for papers published prior to December 1, 2016.
