INTRODUCTION Acute bronchiolitis (AB) is a very common disease, with a high rate of seasonal hospitalization. Its management requires homogeneous clinical interpretations for which there are different approaches depending on the scales, none of which are properly validated today. OBJECTIVE To create an AB severity scale (ABSS) and to validate it. MATERIAL AND METHOD The development of a par...

OBJECTIVE To validate a classification sheet for medication errors associated with antineoplastic medication. METHOD Prospective study. A data sheet was designed based on ASHP's classification. Two observers reviewed the treatment prescribed for chemotherapy from the Haematology Department during a month and they classified the errors detected. The interobserver concordance was analysed using...

OBJECTIVES The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recently recommended the HbA1c assay as one of four options for making the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, with a cut-point of ≥ 6.5%. We compared the HbA1c assay and the fasting plasma glucose level for making the diagnosis of diabetes among Korean adults. METHODS We analyzed 8710 adults (age 45-74 years), who were not diagnosed as havin...

in this paper, we have examined abrupt changes in volatility of tepix index in tehran stock exchange during august 23, 2010 to june 12, 2014. applying the iterated cumulative sum of squares (icss) algorithm proposed by inclan and tiao (1994) and the modified version of this algorithm consisting kappa 1 and kappa 2 test statistics developed by sansó et al. (2004), we have specified that the dete...

conclusions the abovementioned ivc ultrasonographic criteria for hemodynamic congestion appear clearly inconsistent. alternatively, a sequential or simultaneous combination of clinical scores of congestion, ivc ultrasonographic indices, and circulating levels of natriuretic peptides could be warranted. background among the indices able to replace invasive central venous pressure (cvp) measureme...

The linear electron acoustic waves propagating in plasmas with two kappa-distributed electrons and stationary ions are investigated. temperatures of the assumed to be same, but kappa indices not. It shows that if one index is small enough other large enough, a weak damping regime exists. dispersions rates numerically studied. parameter spaces for weakly damped analyzed. Moreover, present model ...

Evaluation of histological diagnosis requires an index of agreement (to measure repeatability and validity) together with a method of assessing bias. Cohen's kappa statistic appears to be the most suitable tool for measuring levels of agreement, which if unsatisfactory may be caused by bias. Further study of bias is possible by examining levels of agreement for each diagnostic category or by se...

BACKGROUND We aimed to validate three widely used scales in stroke research in a multiethnic Brazilian population. METHODS The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel Index (BI) were translated, culturally adapted and applied by two independent investigators. The mRS was applied with or without a previously validated structured interview. In...

BACKGROUND The Charlson index is a widely used measure of comorbidity. The objective was to compare Charlson index scores calculated using administrative data to those calculated using case-note review (CNR) in relation to all-cause mortality and initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the Grampian Laboratory Outcomes Mortality and Morbidity Study (GLOMMS-1) chronic kidney disease coho...
