Disease relevance of Patient Admission

• An evaluation of 602 patient admissions, 1,134 intermittent access devices, and 2,268 observed indwelling device days demonstrated more pain at the insertion site for CHL than NL; however, no differences in objective signs of phlebitis were noted [1].
• Investigated clinical features included Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission, the mode and the extent of brain injury, time to patient admission to hospital, and the presence of an intracranially retained foreign body [2].

Psychiatry related information on Patient Admission

• Useful for this purpose are PAS data on drug usage according to (1) drug type, (2) diagnosis, and (3) information supplied at patient admission [3].

High impact information on Patient Admission

• The median cost of hospital stay and the median overall cost per patient admission were reduced by 17% (P = 0.01) and by 11% (P = 0.07), respectively, in the G-CSF arm compared with the control arm [4].
• CONCLUSION: Serum H-FABP is a potential independent predictor of cardiac events within 6 months of patient admission and may provide prognostic information superior to cTnT in the early hours of ACS [5].
• Eighty-four patient admissions were assigned to terlipressin (2 mg every 6 h) and 81 to vasopressin (0.4 to 0.8 unit per min) plus transdermal nitroglycerin (20 to 80 mg) [6].
• End points were defined by cyclosporin A (CSA) level, CSA level variability, and patient admission of nonadherence [7].
• Evidence of cardiotoxicity was found in all six patient admissions for which isoproterenol infusion was utilized [8].

Associations of Patient Admission with chemical compounds

• Using the complete data set of 130 patient admissions, a repeated measures model showed that 11 pirfenidone-treated patients lost FVC at a rate 5% of predicted ( approximately 400 mL) per year slower than 10 placebo-treated patients (p=0.001) [9].
• The annual incidence of warfarin-related bleeding at Brigham and Women's Hospital increased from 0.97/1,000 patient admissions in the first time period (January 1995 to October 1998) to 1.19/1,000 patient admissions in the second time period (November 1998 to August 2002) of this study [10].
• His voluntary admission was the result of a suicide attempt by carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning [11].
• RESULTS: The fasting blood glucose level was 80 mg/dL or lower in 10 patient admissions (3%) [12].
• Plasma bilirubin levels were significantly higher on days 2, 3 and 4 than on patient admission (day 1; p < 0.05) [13].

Gene context of Patient Admission

• MRSA bacteraemias were first seen in the hospital 1 year after opening when the isolation rate of MRSA from all sites had risen to about 1% of patient admissions [14].
• The number of admissions in that year for patients without a CD200 or AIDS diagnosis was however low (0.5 and 0.75 admissions/patient/year) compared to patients with an AIDS or CD200 diagnosis (2.6 and 1.6 admissions/patient/year) [15].
• The present report looks at the nature, management and outcome of episodes of noncompliance with antiepileptic medication in 42 patients attending a tertiary referral epilepsy clinic with noncompliance being ascertained by patient admission [16].
• For the period March to November 1998 inclusive, a prospective survey was conducted of all patients who sustained injuries with a cutlass or machete and were admitted to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Of the 77 patient admissions, 81% (62/77) were male [17].
