Total laryngectomy (TL) is a surgical procedure commonly performed on patients with advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal carcinoma. One of the most common postoperative complications following TL is the development of a pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF), characterized by a communication between the neopharynx and the skin. PCF can lead to extended hospital stays, delayed oral feeding, and compromised quality of life.

Postpartum Length of hospital stay (PLOHS) is an essential indicator of the quality of maternal and perinatal healthcare services. Identifying the factors associated with PLOHS will inform targeted interventions to reduce unnecessary hospitalisations and improve patient outcomes after childbirth. Therefore, we assessed the length of hospital stay after birth and the associated factors in Ibadan, Nigeria.

This book provides up-to-date information and practical approaches to Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) programs for digestive and / or cardiopulmonary surgery. ERAS programs following surgical interventions are now part of the standard of care for patients undergoing various operative procedures. These programs have been associated with reductions in complications, in length of hospital stay after surgery and in related costs, and have led to improved patient QOL.

Cytomegalovirus establishes life-long latency after primary infection in childhood. Cytomegalovirus reactivation has been well reported in immune-compromised patients; however, in the last few years it has been observed that cytomegalovirus reactivation also occurs in critically ill patients without exogenous immunosuppression, which increases length of intensive care unit stay and mortality rate.

This paper analyses a surveillance system dataset in order to describe the epidemiology of HAIs (MDROs and nonMDROs) in the intensive care unit (ICU), King Fahad Hofuf Hospital (KFHH), Saudi Arabia. The three year period (2010 to 2012) of KFHH surveillance system data (both sporadic and outbreak) were analysed.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex and traumatic abdominal surgery with a high risk of postoperative complications. Nutritional support, including immunonutrition (IMN) with added glutamine, arginine, and ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, can improve patients’ prognosis by regulating postoperative inflammatory response. However, the effects of IMN on PD patients’ outcomes require further investigation.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used to demonstrate the vagal function and sympathetic function of the autonomic nervous system and evaluate autonomic dysregulation. Current literature demonstrated that the HRV of women who have gone through breast cancer, surgery and chemotherapy stays low for possibly up to a year or more.

Emergency departments (EDs) continue to pursue optimal patient flow without sacrificing quality of care. The speed with which a healthcare provider receives pertinent information, such as results from clinical orders, can impact flow. We seek to determine if clinical ordering behavior can be predicted at triage during an ED visit.

We propose a computational framework for integrating diverse patient measurements into an aggregate health score and applying it to patient stability prediction. We mapped retrospective patient data from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC) II clinical database into a discrete multidimensional space, which was searched for measurement combinations and trends relevant to patient outcomes of interest.

Assess parent use and perceptions of an inpatient portal application on a tablet computer that provides information about a child’s hospital stay. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with parents of children hospitalized on a medical/surgical unit at a tertiary children’s hospital. From December 2014 to June 2015, parents were provisioned a tablet portal application to use throughout the hospitalization.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether an electronic health record–based sepsis alert system could improve quality of care and clinical outcomes for patients with sepsis. We performed a patient-level interrupted time series study of emergency department patients with severe sepsis or septic shock between January 2013 and April 2015.

Current treatment of complicated calculous biliary disease typically involves a two-step procedure consisting of pre- or post-operative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This practice creates drawbacks as there is the need for two anesthesia inductions and longer hospital stay.

Electronic health record documentation by intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians may predict patient outcomes. However, it is unclear whether physician and nursing notes differ in their ability to predict short-term ICU prognosis. We aimed to investigate and compare the ability of physician and nursing notes, written in the first 48 hours of admission, to predict ICU length of stay and mortality using 3 analytical methods.

Emergency department (ED) care of older patients is often complex. Geriatric ED guidelines can help to meet this challenge. However, training requirements, the use of time-consuming tools for comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), a lack of golden standard to identify the frail patients, and the weak evidence of positive outcomes of using CGA in EDs pose barriers to introduce the guidelines.
