Sustainability and impact of the implementation of a frailty checklist for the acute medical unit: experience from a tertiary public hospital in Singapore.

Background: Accelerated population ageing is associated with an increasing prevalence of frailty. International guidelines call for systematic assessment and timely interventions for older persons requiring acute care. Checklists have been applied successfully in healthcare settings.

Prediction of in-hospital mortality of infection using critical care database: a big data-driven, machine learning approach.

Research Objectives: infection (CDI) is a major cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoea with high mortality. There is a lack of validated predictors for severe outcomes in CDI. The aim of this study is to derive and validate a clinical prediction tool for CDI in-hospital mortality using a large critical care database.

Systematic review on the definition and predictors of severe Clostridiodes difficile infection.

Clostridiodes difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most common hospital-acquired infections with high mortality rates. Optimal management of CDI depends on early recognition of severity. However, currently, there is no acceptable standard of prediction.
