Associations of United States Department of Veterans Affairs with chemical compounds

  • Several hospitals (Strong Memorial Hospital, University of Maryland Cancer Center, and Minneapolis Veterans Administration Medical Center) have reported either no significant change or a decrease in resistance to amikacin when it was the most frequently used aminoglycoside [23].
  • METHOD: The subjects were 143 alcoholic and cocaine-dependent male patients in an intensive Veterans Administration day treatment program for substance abusers [24].
  • METHOD: Patients were participants in a 15-site double-blind, random-assignment Veterans Administration trial comparing clozapine (N=205) and haloperidol (N=217) in hospitalized patients with refractory schizophrenia [25].
  • Carbamazepine and phenytoin are considered first-line therapies for children with partial seizures on the basis of the adult Veterans Administration studies, open-label controlled and uncontrolled pediatric studies, and clinical experience [26].
  • RESULTS: From among 1,180,260 unique patients, 139,646 veterans with diabetes receiving insulin, oral agents, or glucose-monitoring strips were identified, accounting for a prevalence of 11.83% from 62 Veterans Administration medical centers [27].
 

Gene context of United States Department of Veterans Affairs

  • RESULTS: Between January 1986 and November 1988, an average of 3.9 patients per month acquired nosocomial MRSA in the Sepulveda Veterans Administration Medical Center. In contrast, from December 1988 to October 1989, 369 MRSA isolates were collected from 125 patients (an average of 11.4 patients per month) [28].
  • PATIENTS: Three hundred fifty-two patients with documented COPD who were treated for dyspnea in the ED of the Albuquerque Veterans Administration Medical Center over a three-year period [29].
  • Accuracy of Veterans Administration databases for a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis [30].
  • SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: In a multicenter, randomized trial comparing open and laparoscopic herniorrhaphies, conducted in Veterans Administration hospitals (CSP 456), we reported significant differences in recurrence rates (RR) for the laparoscopic procedure as a result of surgeons' experience [31].
  • All their available military and Veterans Administration records and their responses to a 1965 to 1970 NRC questionnaire have been coded as to disease [32].
