Diagnostic errors and characteristics of patients seen at a general internal medicine outpatient clinic with a referral for diagnosis.
Diagnosis (Berl)
November 2024
Department of Diagnostic and Generalist Medicine, Dokkyo Medical University, Shimotsuga-gun, Tochigi, Japan.
Objectives: Patients referred to general internal medicine (GIM) outpatient clinics may face a higher risk of diagnostic errors than non-referred patients. This difference in risk is assumed to be due to the differences in diseases and clinical presentations between referred and non-referred patients; however, clinical data regarding this issue are scarce. This study aimed to determine the frequency of diagnostic errors and compare the characteristics of referred and non-referred patients visit GIM outpatient clinics.

Department of Hematology and Oncology, Lebanese University, Al-Zahraa Hospital University Medical Center, Beirut, LBN.
Background Anemia of chronic disease is known to be associated with inflammation. However, the relationship between hemoglobin (Hb) levels and potential inflammatory markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume-to-platelet count ratio (MPV/PC) has not been extensively studied. The primary objective of this retrospective analytical study conducted at Al Zahraa Hospital University Medical Center (ZHUMC), Beirut, was to investigate the correlation between Hb levels and potential inflammatory markers (NLR, MLR, PLR, MPV/PC) in patients visiting the emergency department (ED), across different genders and age groups.

Department of Surgery, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: Treatment outcomes of incidental gallbladder cancer generally stem from tertiary referral centres, while many patients are initially diagnosed and managed in secondary care centres. Referral patterns of patients with incidental gallbladder cancer are poorly reported. This study aimed to evaluate incidental gallbladder cancer treatment in secondary centres, rates of referral to tertiary centres and its impact on survival.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with thrombotic primary antiphospholipid syndrome (tPAPS), to investigate the performance of screening tools for OSA in this scenario and to compare clinical/laboratorial differences in tPAPS patients with and without OSA.
Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients with tPAPS to undergo sleep studies using a portable monitor. OSA was defined as apnea-hypopnea index ≥15 events/h.
