The Thirty-Six Hour Day

Thirty‐day readmission after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most severe form of stroke, but data on readmission after ICH are sparse. We aimed to determine frequency, causes, and predictors of 30-day readmission after ICH. Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study includes all spontaneous ICH survivors admitted to the stroke unit at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen in Norway from July...

Thirty-day readmissions--truth and consequences.

tals would then have a direct incentive to invest in reducing readmissions, and Medicare would benefit from immediate savings and progressively lower rates. Our approach would measure a hospital’s readmissions performance against its own historical record and population, avoiding the need for complex risk adjustment or adjustments for readmissions to nonindex hospitals, since they would already...

In vitro penetration of egg yolks by Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Heidelberg strains during thirty-six-hour ambient temperature storage.

Although Salmonella deposition inside yolks is uncommon in naturally contaminated eggs, migration through the vitelline membrane into the nutrient-rich yolk contents could enable rapid bacterial multiplication. Egg refrigeration restricts both penetration and growth, but a recently proposed national Salmonella Enteritidis control program would allow unrefrigerated ambient temperature storage of...

Thirty-day incidence and six-month clinical outcome of thrombotic stent occlusion after bare-metal, sirolimus, or paclitaxel stent implantation.

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the real-world incidence of angiographically confirmed and possible stent thrombosis (ST) in an unrestricted population during the first 30 days after bare-metal stent (BMS), sirolimus-eluting stent (SES), and paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) implantation. BACKGROUND Current data on ST in drug-eluting stents (DES) have come from randomized trials with strict en...
