Non-linear relationship between albumin-corrected calcium and 30-day in-hospital mortality in ICU patients: A multicenter retrospective cohort study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
ObjectiveAlbumin-corrected calcium is usually calculated to reflect the real serum calcium level of the whole body by physicians. However, studies on the association between albumin-corrected calcium and 30-day in-hospital mortality in Intensive Care ...

The diagnostic accuracy of an initial point-of-care lactate at the emergency department as a predictor of in-hospital mortality among adult patients with sepsis and septic shock

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundIn patients with sepsis, elevated lactate has been shown to be a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality. However, the optimal cutoff for rapidly stratifying patients presenting to the emergency department at risk for increased in-hospital ...

Hospital mortality under surgical care [PDF]

The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2012
The article by Aziz et al reviews the use of the ‘hospital standardised mortality ratio’ (HSMR) in England as a measure of hospital performance as well as highlighting the inadequacies in its current form. A general surgeon’s data were used to evaluate accuracy of this system.

Hospital mortality under surgical care [PDF]

The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2011
INTRODUCTION The ‘hospital standardised mortality ratio’ (HSMR) has been used in England since 1999 to measure NHS hospital performance. Large variations in reported HSMR between English hospitals have recently led to heavy criticism of their use as a surrogate measure of hospital performance.

Elevated hemostasis markers after pneumonia increases one-year risk of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Acceleration of chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease, may increase long-term mortality after community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but underlying mechanisms are unknown. Persistence of the prothrombotic state that occurs during

Measuring Hospital Mortality

Acute Medicine Journal, 2013
The hospital standardised mortality ratio (HSMR) and the summary hospital mortality index (SHMI) are both in current use in the UK as measures of the performance of acute hospitals. Characteristics of both the acute hospital itself and of its local healthcare environment influence these indices.
