Minimalist Organizations: Vital Events in State Bar Associations, 1870-1930

American Sociological Review, 1987
This paper uses national data on the growth of state bar associations to develop organizational theory in three respects. First it refines the theory of organizational vital events through a distinction between minimalist and nonminimalist organizations.

On Estimating the Number of Vital Events in Demographic Surveys

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1977
Abstract An examination is made of the effectiveness of the Chandrasekar-Deming technique for estimating the number of vital events using both the registration (continuous recording) of events and a periodic retrospective survey. It is shown that, under a general model for response errors, the technique may produce estimates that are considerably ...

Unlinked vital events in census-based longitudinal studies can bias subsequent analysis.

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2008
To examine the potential biases arising from the nonlinkage of census records and vital events in longitudinal studies.A total of 56,396 deaths of residents of Northern Ireland in the 4 years after the 2001 Census were linked to the 2001 Census records.

MOVER: Medical Informatics Operating Room Vitals and Events Repository

2023
AbstractArtificial Intelligence (AI) holds great promise for transforming the healthcare industry. However, despite its potential, AI is yet to see widespread deployment in clinical settings in significant part due to the lack of publicly available clinical data and the lack of transparency in the published AI algorithms.

Prediction of Serious Adverse Events from Nighttime Vital Signs Values

2022 44th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2022
The period directly following surgery is critical for patients as they are at risk of infections and other types of complications, often summarized as severe adverse events (SAE). We hypothesize that impending complications might alter the circadian rhythm and, therefore, be detectable during the night before.

Vital Auxiliaries — The Underrated Events

1984
Auxiliary systems, such as instrument air, DC power and cooling water play an important part in keeping a nuclear power plant operating. This paper looks at failures which have occurred in these systems. A new technique for analyzing plant auxiliary systems to detect potential interactions between the auxiliary systems and other plant systems is ...

Vitality and recurrent event risk in acute myocardial infarction survivors

European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation, 2009
Background Low vitality, characterized by fatigue and lack of energy, is common among survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and has been shown to be associated with increased risk of primary and secondary cardiac events. The goal of this study was to determine whether an association between vitality and recurrent cardiac events (nonfatal MI ...

Prediction of severe adverse event from vital signs for post-operative patients

2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2021
Monitoring post-operative patients is important for preventing severe adverse events (SAE), which increases morbidity and mortality. Conventional bedside monitoring system has demonstrated the difficulty in long term monitoring of those patients because majority of them are ambulatory.

Frequency spectra of flow and volume events for forced vital capacity

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1982
We determined the frequency content of forced expiratory flow-time (FT) and volume-time (VT) curves by a fast Fourier transform to determine the dynamic responses required of devices to reproduce these curves. We analyzed 304 FT and VT curves from 15 normal (N) subjects (ages 8– yr), 15 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients (ages 7–36 yr), and 9 smokers (S ...

Detecting artifactual events in vital signs monitoring data

2016
In this study we collect and annotate data from 27 intensive care unit (ICU) patients from the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow. Two models are compared for the detection, removal and cleaning of artifact in the vital signs data, namely the Factorial Switching Linear Dynamical System (FSLDS) and the Discriminative Switching Linear Dynamical System (
