In France, data derived from hospital information systems are adequate to feed the prospective payment system. The consistency between drugs prescribed to patients and their indications could solve difficulties related to the identification of ICD-10 undercoded chronic diseases as the Parkinson Disease. Our goal was to highlight patients' stays mentioning administration of antiparkinsonian drugs and not coded for Parkinson's disease. Our approach was to parameterize tables of associations between ICD-10 codes and drug identifiers in the Web100T® application that collects medical information in our hospital and displays related inconsistencies for patients' stays. Based on acute care patients' stays of the second semester of 2015, we identified 246 patients corresponding to 253 stays, for which 33% of stays were not coded with the ICD-10 G20 code of the Parkinson's disease. The precision of our approach was 29%. Based on these data we predict roughly 84 patient stays without mention of Parkinson Disease. We plan to extend this study to other drugs and other kinds of data available in the health information system, such as biology or medical devices in order to improve the coding of chronic diseases in our hospital.

Length of Hospital Stay and Its Predictions Among Patients With Exacerbations of Chronic Respiratory Diseases.
J Eval Clin Pract

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.

Background: Wound repair methods are commonly used in clinical practice, such as skin graft and flap repair, which can cause secondary injuries, and high costs. Many methods for skin stretching and repair have been reported domestically and internationally. However, their clinical use is limited owing to lack of equipment, complexity, and high costs.

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most commonly monitored inflammatory markers in patients with COVID-19 to gain insight into the inflammation level in the body and to adopt effective disease management and therapeutic strategies. COVID-19 is now less prevalent, and the study of CRP as a biomarker of inflammation still needs deeper understanding, particularly in understanding its role among patients with comorbidities, which are known to influence inflammatory responses and increase the risk of severe outcomes during acute and chronic infectious diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of major comorbidities such as ischemic heart diseases, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and lung infections e.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of transitioning from open to laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma in a primary care hospital setting. Despite the recognized benefits of laparoscopic surgery in postoperative recovery and its demonstrated oncological equivalence, only a minority of patients (30-40%) in Germany undergo laparoscopic procedures, primarily due to concerns which, in addition to the perioperative quality data and economic aspects, focus on patient safety.
Methods: Over a three-year period (2012-2014), the transformation process was observed in a colorectal cancer center.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) emerges as a singular subclass of heart failure, bereft of specific therapeutic options. Magnesium, an indispensable trace element, is essential to the preservation of cardiac integrity. However, the association between magnesium supplementation and mortality in HFpEF patients remains unclear.
