Length of Hospital Stay and Its Predictions Among Patients With Exacerbations of Chronic Respiratory Diseases.
J Eval Clin Pract
February 2025
Department of Biopharmaceutics and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan.
Background: Chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may deteriorate into acute exacerbations requiring hospitalization. Assessing the predictors of prolonged hospital stays could help identify potential interventions to reduce the burden on patients and healthcare systems.
Aim: This study aimed to identify the risk factors attributed to prolonged hospital stays among patients admitted with acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory disorders in Jordan.
Comparative analysis of kidney function prediction: traditional statistical methods vs. deep learning techniques.
Clin Exp Nephrol
January 2025
Kawasaki Medical School, Department of Nephrology and Hypertension, Kurashiki, Japan.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant public health challenge, with rates consistently on the rise. Enhancing kidney function prediction could contribute to the early detection, prevention, and management of CKD in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate whether deep learning techniques, especially those suitable for processing missing values, can improve the accuracy of predicting future renal function compared to traditional statistical method, using the Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database (J-CKD-DB), a nationwide multicenter CKD registry.

Curr Hypertens Rep
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Integrative Biosciences Center, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA.
Purpose Of Review: To review the most current recommendations regarding assessment and treatment of asymptomatic hypertension treatment in the emergency department (ED) and to provide guidance for prescribing oral antihypertensive therapy for ED providers.
Recent Findings: There are varying management strategies for the treatment of asymptomatic hypertension in the ED likely due to a lack of direct guidelines for treatment. There is an increasing body of evidence for the safety of initiating therapy to treat chronic asymptomatic hypertension in the ED.
Prevalence, Patient Characteristics, and Treatment of Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Nationwide Payer Database Study.
Cardiol Ther
January 2025
Bristol Myers Squibb, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction: Data on the prevalence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), characteristics of patients with HCM, and treatment patterns in Japan are limited. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of HCM and describe the patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and utilization of medical expense subsidies in Japan, using payer claims data from insurers.
Methods: This retrospective study of patients with HCM in Japan utilized payer claims data from insurers (Advanced Elderly Medical Service System [AEMSS], Kokuho, and Kempo) from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021.
Closing the Gap: Digital Innovations to Address Hypertension Disparities.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Section of Cardiovascular Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Significant inequities persist in hypertension detection and control, with minoritized populations disproportionately experiencing organ damage and premature death due to uncontrolled hypertension. Remote blood pressure monitoring combined with telehealth visits (RBPM) is proving to be an effective strategy for controlling hypertension. Yet there are challenges related to technology adoption, patient engagement and social determinants of health (SDoH), contributing to disparities in patient outcomes.
