Risk factors for readmission after lower extremity procedures for peripheral artery disease.

OBJECTIVE: As pressure to contain health care costs increases, there has been greater scrutiny of readmissions in the vascular surgery population. The objective of this study was to evaluate postoperative readmissions after open and endovascular lower extremity (LE) procedures for peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed of elective adult inpatients with PAD and LE procedures which were selected from the Health Facts database (Cerner Corporation, Kansas City, Mo) between October 2008 and December 2010 using International Classification of Disease, 9

Непрозрачная онтология: нейроимAGING классификация групп диагнозов ICD-10 в UK Biobank.

Фон. Использование машинного обучения для классификации диагностических случаев по сравнению с контролем, определенным на основе диагностических онтологий, таких как десятая редакция Международной классификации болезней (ICD-10), на основе нейровизуальных признаков, сейчас является распространенной практикой в широком спектре диагностических областей. Однако сравнения, которые пересекают диагностику (transdiagnostic), таких классификаций отсутствуют. Такие трансдиагностические сравнения важны для определения специфичности классификационных моделей, установления бенчмарков и оценки ценности диа

Acute Colonic Perforation with Septic Shock Secondary to Disseminated Histoplasmosis in an Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient.

Histoplasma capsulatum is an opportunistic pathogen which can lead to a wide variety of clinical presentations in the immunocompromised host. Post-transplant histoplasmosis in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients is exceedingly rare, with an incidence of <1%. We present a case of acute caecal perforation resulting from disseminated histoplasmosis in a patient who had undergone autologous bone marrow transplant for plasma cell dyscrasia. This is a 71-year-old patient who initially presented due to progressive weakness associated with shortness of breath.
