Quantitative Shape Irregularity and Density Heterogeneity Predict Hematoma Expansion in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to explore the association between quantitative shape irregularity and density heterogeneity of hematomas and hematoma expansion (HE) for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. Methods This cohort study included patients arriving within 24 h of symptom onset between August 2021 and July 2022 as the derivation cohort ...

The In-Hospital Mortality Rates of Slaves and Freemen: Evidence from Touro Infirmary, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855–1860 [PDF]

Using a rich sample of admission records from New Orleans Touro Infirmary, we examine the in-hospital mortality risk of free and enslaved patients. Despite a higher mortality rate in the general population, slaves were significantly less likely to die in

Hospital Standardized Mortality Ratio: Consequences of Adjusting Hospital Mortality with Indirect Standardization

PLoS ONE, 2013
The hospital standardized mortality ratio (HSMR) is developed to evaluate and improve hospital quality. Different methods can be used to standardize the hospital mortality ratio. Our aim was to assess the validity and applicability of directly and indirectly standardized hospital mortality ratios.Retrospective scenario analysis using routinely ...

Cognitive Resilience in Apolipoprotein ε4 Carrier Women Predicted by Neuron‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The Apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, many ε4 carriers remain cognitively intact into old age. Leveraging plasma neuron‐derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), we sought to identify biomarkers of cognitive resilience and their interplay with APOE ...

Associations of Stroke With Risk of Epilepsy: Results From the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To estimate the risk of epilepsy associated with stroke in a community‐based cohort, with consideration of stroke type, number, and severity. Methods Data from 15,100 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants without stroke at baseline (1987–1989) were analyzed through 12/31/2022.

Effect of case management on neonatal mortality due to sepsis and pneumonia. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Each year almost one million newborns die from infections, mostly in low-income countries. Timely case management would save many lives but the relative mortality effect of varying strategies is unknown.

Risk Factors for In-Hospital Mortality in Infective Endocarditis

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2019
Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with severe complications and high mortality. The assessment of mortality rates and predictors for fatal events is important to identify modifiable factors related to the pattern of treatment, in order
