Improving the homogeneity of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) by using clinical laboratory, demographic, and discharge data.

Cholecystectomy and Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs): Patient Classification and Hospital Reimbursement in 11 European Countries

Background As part of the EuroDRG project, researchers from eleven countries (i.e. Austria, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, and Spain) compared how their Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) systems deal with cholecystectomy patients. The study aims to assist surgeons and national authorities to optimize their DRG systems.   Methods National or region...

the evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology

abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...

Diagnosis-related groups using data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey: United States, 1982.

This report presents selected estimates for 1982 of diagnosis-related groups (DRG) based on data from the Na­ tional Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS). A similar report as been published for 1981.1 The current plan is to publish orts on DRGs regularly because they determine the reim­ rsement rates of Medicare inpatients, about 30 percent of all discharges from shofi-stay non-Federal hospitals.z ...

Improving the Performance of Machine Learning Algorithms for Heart Disease Diagnosis by Optimizing Data and Features

Heart is one of the most important members of the body, and heart disease is the major cause of death in the world and Iran. This is why the early/on time diagnosis is one of the significant basics for preventing and reducing deaths of this disease. So far, many studies have been done on heart disease with the aim of prediction, diagnosis, and treatment. However, most of them have been mostly f...
