Are for-profit hospital conversions harmful to patients and to Medicare?
(Rand J Econ, 2002)We examine how changes in hospital ownership to and from for-profit status affect quality and Medicare payments per hospital stay. We hypothesize that hospitals converting to for-profit ownership boost post acquisition ... -
Association between Initial Fluid Choice and Subsequent In-hospital Mortality during the Resuscitation of Adults with Septic Shock.
(Anesthesiology, 2015-12)BACKGROUND: Currently, guidelines recommend initial resuscitation with intravenous (IV) crystalloids during severe sepsis/septic shock. Albumin is suggested as an alternative. However, fluid mixtures are often used in practice, ... -
Association of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Among Patients Taking Non-Vitamin K Antagonist vs Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants With In-Hospital Mortality.
(JAMA, 2018-02)Although non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are increasingly used to prevent thromboembolic disease, there are limited data on NOAC-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).To assess the association between ... -
Association of Preceding Antithrombotic Treatment With Acute Ischemic Stroke Severity and In-Hospital Outcomes Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
(JAMA, 2017-03)Importance:Antithrombotic therapies are known to prevent stroke for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) but are often underused in community practice. Objectives:To examine the prevalence of patients with acute ischemic ... -
Changes in hospitalisation and surgical procedures among the oldest-old: a follow-up study of the entire Danish 1895 and 1905 cohorts from ages 85 to 99 years.
(Age Ageing, 2013-07)OBJECTIVE: to examine whether the Danish 1905 cohort members had more active hospital treatment than the 1895 cohort members from ages 85 to 99 years and whether it results in higher in-hospital and post-operative mortality. ... -
Comparison of Clinical Care and In-Hospital Outcomes of Asian American and White Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.
(JAMA neurology, 2019-04)Importance:Although overall stroke incidence and mortality in the United States is improving, little is known about the characteristics and clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke in Asian American individuals. Objective:To ... -
Early, Goal-Directed Therapy for Septic Shock - A Patient-Level Meta-Analysis.
(The New England journal of medicine, 2017-06)BACKGROUND:After a single-center trial and observational studies suggesting that early, goal-directed therapy (EGDT) reduced mortality from septic shock, three multicenter trials (ProCESS, ARISE, and ProMISe) showed no benefit. ... -

(JAMA, 2018-07)In China and other parts of the world, hospital personnel adherence to evidence-based stroke care is limited.To determine whether a multifaceted quality improvement intervention can improve hospital personnel adherence to ... -
Hospital mortality of patients aged 80 and older after surgical repair for type A acute aortic dissection in Japan.
(Medicine, 2016-08)To evaluate whether patients aged 80 and older have higher risk of hospital mortality after repair of type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD).Emergency surgery for TAAAD in patients aged 80 and older remains a controversial ... -
