Identification of reliable prognostic factors for surgical outcome is important for outcome research. In this study, recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses on prediction of seizure outcome have been analyzed, and common predictors of seizu...
متن کاملCommon ground: measuring intrainstitutional mortality among pediatric surgical procedures.
BACKGROUND For adult populations, hospitals that have low mortality rates for one surgical discipline tend to have low mortality rates for other surgical disciplines. We sought to determine to what degree mortality rates for high-risk pediatric surgical procedures were correlated within institutions. METHODS High-risk operations performed on patients ≤ 10 years of age were identified in the 2...
