Objectives: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) hospitalizations along with associated morbidity and costs are increasing. The goal of this study was to use the National Readmission Database to identify the incidence and risk factors for 30-day readmissions among patients with CP.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of National Readmission Database from January 2013 to December 2013 to determine patient demographic and clinical characteristics predictive of 30-day hospital readmission for adult patients (aged >18 years) discharged with a principle diagnosis of CP. A survey logistic regression model was used to determine the predictive value of selected variables for 30-day readmission.

Results: In 2013, 12,545 admissions with primary diagnosis of CP were noted, and 30.4% were readmitted within 30 days. Cholecystectomy (odds ratio [OR], 0.53; P = 0.0024) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (OR, 0.70; P = 0.01) during index admission was associated with decreased all-cause readmissions. Pancreatectomy during index admission was associated with reduced (OR, 0.2; P = 0.0005) pancreatitis-related readmissions.

Conclusions: Hospital readmissions for CP are frequent and pose a significant healthcare burden. Performing cholecystectomy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or pancreatectomy during index admission was associated with reduced odds of readmission.

Purpose: This observational cohort study aimed to identify predictive factors associated with pain-related quality of recovery among patients undergoing elective gastrointestinal and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery.

Patients And Methods: This study involved a secondary analysis of the data collected from five hospitals across all healthcare regions in Norway to validate the Norwegian version of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15NO). The sample consisted of 268 adult patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery between September 2021 and May 2022.

Aim: To assess the clinical outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest attended by prehospital critical care teams compared to non-critical care teams.

Methods: This review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO and the eligibility criteria followed a PICOST framework for ILCOR systematic reviews. Prehospital critical care was defined as any provider with enhanced clinical competencies beyond standard advanced life support algorithms and dedicated dispatch to critically ill patients.

Purpose: As HF progresses into advanced HF, patients experience a poor quality of life, distressing symptoms, intensive care use, social distress, and eventual hospital death. We aimed to investigate the relationship between morality and potential prognostic factors among in-patient and emergency patients with HF.

Patients And Methods: A case series study: Data are collected from in-hospital and emergency care patients from 2014 to 2021, including their international classification of disease at admission, and laboratory data such as blood count, liver and renal functions, lipid profile, and other biochemistry from the hospital's electrical medical records.

Aims: To examine the association of a remote monitoring programme (RMP) with all-cause mortality and hospital admissions for heart failure (HF) within the French healthcare system.

Methods And Results: A national-scale, real-world, propensity-weighted cohort study was conducted using the SNDS French database from August 2018 to December 2022 (NCT06312501). Patients receiving standard of care (SoC) were compared with those receiving RMP (Satelia® Cardio, NP Medical).
