Summary: This study assessed the prognostic value of lactate concentration at admission in cattle with long-bone fractures. It found that lactate concentration was associated with poor outcomes at 30 days or 3 years after admission.

Summary: In Japan, facility-level characteristics such as the presence of a dental hygienist and higher staffing levels of pharmacists, registered nurses, care workers, and speech-language pathologists were found to be associated with a lower risk of 30-day hospitalization for residents in geriatric intermediate care facilities. These findings suggest that transitional care involving these healthcare professionals may be effective in preventing short-term hospitalizations among elderly residents.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effect of eGFR on death within 30 days among COVID-19 inpatients and compare the results against common models. The results showed a non-linear relationship between eGFR and death, with the best-fitting model being a degree-2 FP model. The FP model demonstrated a high discrimination power (AUROC=0.92) and good model performance (Brier score=0.09).

Summary: This study reviewed the experience of laparoscopic re-operations and compared it to laparotomy. The results showed that the success rate of re-operation was not affected by the type of approach, but laparotomy was an independent predictor of prolonged hospital stay and mortality.

Summary: Knowledge about preventable hospital readmissions is limited. This study found that preventable readmissions can occur in any department of the hospital, and there is no single type of patient easily identified at risk for preventable readmissions, likely due to the multifactorial nature of the phenomenon.

Summary: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) appears to be a low-risk medical procedure for treating severe psychiatric disorders, but older individuals with severe somatic diseases have a higher risk of death. Extra measures should be taken to optimize their medical health during the pre-ECT workup, and during and after ECT.

Summary: A study in Recife, Brazil, identified factors such as polypharmacy, nutritional risk, and malnutrition to be associated with hospital readmission within 30 days. It was also found that low calf circumference was an independent risk factor, while the absence of polypharmacy was a protective factor against readmission.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk and beneficial factors of early discharge after thoracoscopic anatomic lung cancer surgery, and identified predictors and associated 30-day readmission. The study found that age, sex, tumor size, pleural adhesions, lymph nodes calcification, clinical T stage, resection type, and operative time were independent risk factors for discharge after postoperative Day 2. However, factors such as lung function, anesthesia type, and thoracoscopic surgery type were associated with a decreased likelihood of discharge after postoperative Day 2. The study concluded that carefully selected patients can be safely discharged within 2 days after thoracoscopic anatomic lung cancer surgery.

Summary: This study established and validated an individualized nomogram to predict the probability of death within 30 days in patients with sepsis-induced blood pressure drop. Seven variables were identified as independent risk factors, and the prediction model showed good discrimination and calibration as well as high clinical effectiveness.

Summary: This study analyzed data from 14 jurisdictions in six high-income countries and found significant variations in the rate of emergency cancer diagnoses across different regions and cancer types. Older age and advanced stage at diagnosis were consistently associated with an increased risk of emergency presentation. Furthermore, emergency presenters had a significantly higher risk of 12-month mortality compared to non-emergency presenters. The study also identified negative associations between the percentage of emergency presentations and one-year survival for certain types of cancer.

Summary: This study aims to design predictive models using artificial intelligence methods and data from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan to identify high-risk pneumonia patients with 30-day readmissions. The integrated genetic algorithm and support vector machine model, called IGS, achieved better accuracy and AUC compared to logistic regression and deep neural network models, as well as previously reported models using electronic health records data.

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from nearly 3000 septic patients and found that admission blood glucose levels significantly influenced the 30-day mortality rate in patients without diabetes. Other independent risk factors included age, SOFA score, lactic acid levels, among others.
