A randomized, controlled trial of endovenous thermal ablation using the 810-nm wavelength laser and the ClosurePLUS radi... PDF available through Get Fulltext Research

Gale, Steven S Lee, Jennifer N Walsh, M Eileen Wojnarowski, Dennis L Comerota, Anthony J

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

Great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence is the most common cause of superficial venous insufficiency. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) is superior to conventional ligation and stripping, and endovenous laser treatment (EVL) has emerged as an effective alternative to RFA. This randomized study evaluated RFA and EVL for superficial venous insuf...

Impact of Universal Bilirubin Screening on Severe Hyperbilirubinemia and Phototherapy Use

Published in PEDIATRICS

The goal was to assess the impact of universal bilirubin screening on severe hyperbilirubinemia and phototherapy use. In this retrospective cohort study of 358086 infants of > or =35 weeks and > or =2000 g born between January 1, 1995, and June 30, 2007, we obtained demographic data, bilirubin levels, and codes for inpatient phototherapy from exist...

Antenatal Ultrasound and Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Grether, Judith K. Li, Sherian Xu Yoshida, Cathleen K. Croen, Lisa A.

Published in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders

We evaluated antenatal ultrasound (U/S) exposure as a risk factor for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), comparing affected singleton children and control children born 1995–1999 and enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente health care system. Among children with ASD (n = 362) and controls (n = 393), 13% had no antenatal exposure to U/S examinations; case–c...

Numbers Needed to Treat With Phototherapy According to American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines

Published in PEDIATRICS

Our aims were to estimate the efficacy of hospital phototherapy for neonatal jaundice and the number needed to treat to prevent one infant from reaching the exchange transfusion level. From a cohort of 281 898 infants weighing > or =2000 g born at > or =35 weeks' gestation at 12 Northern California Kaiser hospitals from 1995 to 2004, we identified ...

Gabriel J Escobar Arona Ragins Sherian Li Laura Prager Anthony S Masaquel Patricia Kipnis

Published in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine

To quantify the relationship between recurrent wheezing (RW) in the third year of life and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, prematurity, and neonatal oxygen exposure. Retrospective cohort study linking inpatient, outpatient, and laboratory databases for cohort assembly and logistic regression analysis. Integrated health care delivery sy...

Respiratory syncytial virus testing during bronchiolitis episodes of care in an integrated health care delivery system: ...

Valerie Flaherman Sherian Li Arona Ragins Anthony Masaquel Patricia Kipnis Gabriel J Escobar

Published in Clinical Therapeutics

ronchiolitis has the highest incidence rate of any lower respiratory infection among infants and children <2 years of age. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common etiology of bronchiolitis. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend routine RSV testing for infants and children with bronchiolitis. The clinical predictors of R...

Published in Journal of Critical Care

Existing intensive care unit (ICU) mortality measurement systems address in-hospital mortality only. However, early postdischarge mortality contributes significantly to overall 30-day mortality. Factors associated with early postdischarge mortality are unknown. We performed a retrospective study of 8484 ICU patients. Our primary outcome was early ...

Variation in ICU Risk-Adjusted Mortality *

Michael Kuzniewicz Eduard E Vasilevskis Rondall Lane Mitzi L Dean Nisha G Trivedi, Deborah J Rennie, Ted Clay Pamela L Kotler Adams Dudley

Published in CHEST Journal

Federal and state agencies are considering ICU performance assessment and public reporting; however, an accurate method for measuring performance must be selected. In this study, we determine whether a substantial variation in ICU mortality performance still exists in modern ICUs, and compare the predictive accuracy, reliability, and data burden of...
