Purpose The CirCom score has been developed from Danish data as a specific measure of comorbidity for cirrhosis to predict all-cause mortality. We compared its performance with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in an English cirrhosis population. Patients and methods We used comorbidity scores in a survival model to predict mortality in a cirrhosis cohort in the Clinical Practice Research ...
BACKGROUND It is important to find a comorbidity measure with better performance for use with administrative data. The new method proposed by Elixhauser et al. has never been validated and compared to the widely used Charlson method in the Asia region. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of three comorbidity measures using information from different data periods in predic...
BACKGROUND Hospital admissions for COPD exacerbations account for 70% of total costs of COPD treatment, and the duration of hospital stay is directly related to this cost. The aim of this study was to investigate possible associations of demographic, clinical, laboratory, and functional parameters with stay of subjects admitted for COPD exacerbations and to provide a score for the prediction of...
OBJECTIVE Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major cause of morbidity and biomarkers that predict severity of illness are needed. Procalcitonin (PCT), a serum biomarker with specificity for bacterial infections, has been little studied in CDI. We hypothesized that PCT associated with CDI severity. DESIGN Serum PCT levels were measured for 69 cases of CDI. Chart review was performed to...
BACKGROUND In older adults hospitalized for heart failure, a poor score on a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is associated with worse prognosis during hospitalization and at 1 month after discharge. However, the association between the CGA score and long-term mortality is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a prospective study of 487 patients aged ≥75 years admitted for decompensa...
To the Editor: The meta-analysis of Roberts and colleagues (1) recently showed that statin treatment reduced all-cause mortality by 15% in older adults. Because the meta-analysis already included individuals from 60 years of age, and, on the other hand, recent concerns have been expressed about the benefits of lipid-lowering specifically in elderly people (2), we would like to present our prosp...
OBJECTIVE Hospital admission records provide snapshots of clinical histories for a subset of the population admitted to hospital. In contrast, primary care records provide continuous clinical histories for complete populations, but might lack detail about inpatient stays. Therefore, combining primary and secondary care records should improve the ability of comorbidity scores to predict survival...
