The aim of the study is the descriptive evaluation of the recidivism trajectories of 321 discharged patients sentenced to forensic treatment acc. to art 63 of the German penal code. The data were taken from the Essen prospective long-term study. Reoffending was aggregated in periods of three years. In the course of the average 16.5-year follow-up period ("time-at-risk"), about one third reoffended (35.2 %). Differentiated by main diagnoses, discharged patients with personality disorders in particular had high overall recidivism rates (57.8 %). For patients discharged for reasons of proportionality (n = 8; 2.5 %), recidivism occurred in 4 cases and serious offending in 3 cases. The results underscore the effectiveness of forensic psychiatric and highlight the need for additional consideration regarding appropriate treatment measures and outpatient follow-up care for personality disordered offenders.

Background Aims: SBP leads to high rates acute kidney injury (AKI) -hepatorenal syndrome and mortality. Population-based studies on contemporary SBP epidemiology are needed to inform care. In a large, national cohort of patients diagnosed with SBP and confirmed by ascitic fluid criteria, we characterized ascitic fluid characteristics, in-hospital and 12-month mortality, AKI, and recurrent SBP.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between high outliers and intensive care unit admissions and to identify the factors contributing to high intensive care unit costs.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from 17 Belgian hospitals from 2018 and 2019. The study focused on the 10 most frequently admitted diagnosis-related groups in the intensive care unit.

Department of Neurointensive Care, Instituto Estadual do Cérebro Paulo Niemeyer - Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil.
Objective: To define the incidence of ventriculostomy-associated infections and their impact on the mortality and functional outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Methods: We prospectively included all consecutive adult aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients admitted to the neurological intensive care units of the Instituto Estadual do Cérebro Paulo Niemeyer (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Hospital Cristo Redentor (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) who required external ventricular drains from July 2015 to December 2020. Daily clinical and laboratory variables were collected at admission and during the hospital stay.
Evaluating Surgeon-influenced Factors for Total Knee Arthroplasty Value-based Reimbursement.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, USA (Sutton, Lizcano, Krueger, Courtney, and Purtill), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, USA (Austin).
Introduction: Clinical outcome measures used under value-based reimbursement models require risk stratification of patient demographics and medical history. Only certain perioperative patient factors may be influenced by the surgeon. The study evaluated surgeon-influenced modifiable factors associated with achieving literature-defined KOOS score thresholds to serve as the foundation of the newly established alternative payment models for total knee arthroplasties (TKA).

Background: The accurate inclusion of patient comorbidities ensures appropriate risk adjustment in clinical or health services research and payment models. Orthopaedic studies often use only the comorbidities included at the index inpatient admission when quantifying patient risk. The goal of this study was to assess improvements in capture rates and in model fit and discriminatory power when using additional data and best practices for comorbidity capture.
