Identifying patients with asthma in primary care electronic medical record systems Chart analysis-based electronic algorithm validation study.

Objective: To develop and test a variety of electronic medical record (EMR) search algorithms to allow clinicians to accurately identify their patients with asthma in order to enable improved care.

Design: A retrospective chart analysis identified 5 relevant unique EMR information fields (electronic disease registry, cumulative patient profile, billing diagnostic code, medications, and chart notes); asthma-related search terms were designated for each field. The accuracy of each term was tested for its ability to identify the asthma patients among all patients whose charts were reviewed.

Toll-like receptor 2 variants are associated with acute reactive arthritis.

Objective: We previously reported a recent outbreak of salmonellosis in which some individuals developed complications of the enteric infection. The objective of this study was to identify genetic variants that might predispose infected individuals to develop articular and/or extraarticular sequelae after Salmonella enteritidis infection.

Methods: The entire exposed cohort was invited to participate in the study by sending a saliva sample for DNA analysis.

Symptomatic acute reactive arthritis after an outbreak of salmonella.

Objective: In 2005, 592 individuals in Ontario developed acute gastroenteritis, predominantly after consuming bean sprouts contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis. Salmonella is a known trigger of reactive arthritis (ReA). We describe the population affected by the Salmonella outbreak in terms of clinical presentation of self-reported arthritic symptoms and HLA-B27 genotyping.
