High-resolution computed tomography for the prediction of mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome: A retrospective cohort study.
Health Sci Rep
December 2021
Department of Pulmonary Medicine Thoracic Center, St. Luke's International Hospital Tokyo Japan.
Background And Aims: Acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS) demonstrates several image patterns on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between specific HRCT findings and the prognosis of ARDS.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study performed in a single hospital in Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) as a tool to predict mortality rates after activating rapid response systems (RRS) in Japan, where current activation rates and outcomes are concerning.
- Researchers analyzed data from 2,255 adult patients across 33 facilities, examining mortality rates 30 days post-RRS activation and evaluating the performance of NEWS with statistical methods.
- Results indicated that NEWS is effective in predicting 30-day mortality risk, with oxygen saturation identified as the most critical parameter, suggesting its potential utility in improving patient outcomes in Japan.
Objective: Even if performing rapid influenza diagnostic tests test will not change clinical decision making, we sometimes perform at triage to reduce length of stay in Japan. Whether performing rapid influenza diagnostic tests at triage may shorten emergency department (ED) length of stay (LOS) is remains unclear. We aimed to determine the utility of rapid influenza diagnostic tests at triage in shortening ED length of stay LOS.

The new inventories are named Transition Metal Inventory (TMI)-Asia v1.

Thus, clinical features of pediatric Ph-negative MPNs remain largely unknown. This study was therefore performed to address this.

Managing polypharmacy is important but there is no definite method for regulating it. Our aim was to evaluate what medications and patient's background are associated with reducing polypharmacy.
