Background/objectives: Data regarding incidence, health-care burden, and predictors for readmission in patients with acute alcoholic pancreatitis (AAP) is scarce. We aim to identify incidence, health-care burden, and predictors of readmission over an 11-month period.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study using the 2016 National Readmission Database of adult patients admitted with a principal diagnosis of AAP in January and 11-month readmission follow up for all-cause readmission.
Background: Bariatric surgery (BSx) is one of the most common surgical procedures in North America. Readmissions may be associated with a high burden to the healthcare system.
Methods: Retrospective study of the 2016 National Readmission Database of adult patients readmitted within 30 days after an index admission for BSx.
Background/objectives: Alcoholic acute pancreatitis (AAP) comprises the second most common cause of acute pancreatitis in the USA, and there is lack of data regarding 30-day specific readmission causes and predictors. We aim to identify 30-day readmission rate, causes, and predictors of readmission.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of the 2016 National Readmission Database of adult patients readmitted within 30 days after an index admission for AAP.
Background: The human gut microbiome is recognized as an important determinant of human health, yet little is known about how dietary habits are related to the microbiome in post-weaned, pre-pubescent children.
Objective: The goal of this work was to link quantitative dietary intake with microbiome features in a diverse population of children consuming a predominantly Western diet.
Design: This was a cross-sectional study.
