Should I stay or should I go: an assessment of criteria for safe day of surgery discharge of displaced supracondylar humerus fractures.

Immobilization type and in-hospital observation following surgical management of displaced supracondylar fractures are subject to surgeon preference and training. Our goal was to determine criteria for immediate discharge and optimal type of immobilization. Medical records of 661 patients with type III, IV or flexion-type displaced supracondylar humerus fractures treated at a level 1 pediatric trauma center from January 2013 to September 2019 were reviewed.

The subclinical hypothyroid state might predict 30-day readmission in patients admitted with acute heart failure syndrome and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.

Introduction: Thyroid hormone (TH) has an essential role on the functional capability of cardiac muscle with its gene modulation and induction of vasodilatory effects. There is considerable evidence to suggest the role of TH in patients with acute coronary syndrome, but less is known about its prognostic role in heart failure (HF) patients. We aim to evaluate the association between subclinical hypothyroid state (SCHS) and event rates including 30-day all-cause and HF readmission in patients with an index hospitalization for acute HF syndrome (AHFS).
