Objective: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been known in its present form since 1960. Different studies have reported variable outcomes among different countries. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the rate of CPR success and the survival rate in managing cardiac arrest among patients in an educational medical center. Methods: Th...

results the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 54 years (range, 28 - 74). cause-specific survival rates of the entire group were 92%, 87% and 82%, at two, three and five years, respectively. the five-year cause-specific survival rates for grades one, two and three were 98%, 88% and 68%, respectively. multivariate analysis revealed that age, depth of myometrial invasion, involvement of ovarie...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate the drug survival rate of tacrolimus (TAC) and analyze the potential predictors of this rate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in routine care. METHODS2018-01-16 In this retrospective longitudinal study, we enrolled 102 RA patients treated with TAC from April 2009 to January 2014 at a tertiary center in South Korea. The causes of TAC discontinuation wer...

Background There are limited data available regarding long-term survival and its predictors in cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in which patients receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Purpose The objectives of this study were to determine the 1-year survival rates and predictors of survival after IHCA. Patients and methods Data were retrospectively collected on all adult patients...

Background/Aims Solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a subgroup of HCCs. We aimed to establish nomograms for predicting the survival of solitary HCC patients after hepatectomy. Methods A total of 538 solitary HCC patients were randomly classified into training and validation sets. A Cox model was used to identify predictors of overall survival (OS) in the training set. A nomogram was ge...

conclusions patients with chronic hepatitis c and with a ciscun ≤ 1 had a very low rate of cirrhosis while those with a ciscun = 4 had a high risk of cirrhosis. patients with ciscun = 2 or 3 had an intermediate rate of cirrhosis, and therefore needed to perform a liver biopsy to receive a reliable diagnosis. results we enrolled 249 patients who had complete laboratoristic data, and sufficient l...

BACKGROUND The national antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiative in India began in 2004. In order to better inform the national program, we estimated the mean cumulative survival probability and loss to follow-up (LFU) rate among patients initiated on ART. METHODS We identified a cohort of people living with HIV (PLHIV) aged ≥15 years initiated on ART in two ART centres in Hyderabad city, Andh...
