Using highly variable warfarin dosing to identify patients at risk for adverse events
BACKGROUND Patients who receive highly variable doses of warfarin may be at risk for poor anticoagulation control and adverse events. However, we lack a system to identify patients with the highest dose variability. Our objectives were to develop a scoring system to identify patients with high dose variability, and to validate this new measure by demonstrating that patients so identified have p...
متن کاملA risk scoring system to identify emergency department patients with heart failure at high risk for serious adverse events.
OBJECTIVES There are no validated guidelines to guide physicians with difficult disposition decisions for emergency department (ED) patients with heart failure (HF). The authors sought to develop a risk scoring system to identify HF patients at high risk for serious adverse events (SAEs). METHODS This was a prospective cohort study at six large Canadian EDS that enrolled adult patients who pr...
متن کاملRadiogenomics: using genetics to identify cancer patients at risk for development of adverse effects following radiotherapy.
UNLABELLED Normal-tissue adverse effects following radiotherapy are common and significantly affect quality of life. These effects cannot be accounted for by dosimetric, treatment, or demographic factors alone, and evidence suggests that common genetic variants are associated with radiotherapy adverse effects. The field of radiogenomics has evolved to identify such genetic risk factors. Radioge...

متن کاملUsing prospective clinical surveillance to identify adverse events in hospital
BACKGROUND To improve patient safety, organisations must systematically measure avoidable harms. Clinical surveillance-consisting of prospective case finding and peer review-could improve identification of adverse events (AEs), preventable AEs and potential AEs. The authors sought to describe and compare findings of clinical surveillance on four clinical services in an academic hospital. METHOD...
