Elevating care: assessing the impact of telemonitoring on diabetes management at a cutting-edge quaternary hospital
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024AO0748
Highlights Telemonitoring reduced hospital readmissions in patients enrolled in the diabetes program by 15.4%. Men patients who received telemonitoring had lower readmission rates than those who did not. There was a difference in the readmission rate between those who underwent telemonitoring and those who did not in patients aged <60 and >75 years. Patients who stayed >10 days and underwent postdischarge telemonitoring had a lower readmission rate than those who did not undergo telemonitoring. ABSTRACT Objective: To assess whether post-discharge […]

The 30-day readmission rate of patients with an overlap of probable sarcopenia and malnutrition undergoing major oncological surgery
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024AO0733
Highlights Probable sarcopenia plus malnutrition was significantly associated with unplanned readmission. Overlap of probable sarcopenia and malnutrition was an independent risk factor for readmission. Certification of whether the patient is malnourished and/or sarcopenic preoperatively is necessary. SARC-F and subjective global assessment can effectively and easily assess sarcopenia and malnutrition at admission. ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the 30-day unplanned readmission rate and its association with overlapping probable sarcopenia and malnutrition after major oncological surgery. Methods: A prospective bicentric observational cohort study […]

Development and validation of predictive model for long-term hospitalization, readmission, and in-hospital death of patients over 60 years old
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2022AO8012
ABSTRACT Objective To develop and validate a high-risk predictive model that identifies, at least, one common adverse event in older population: early readmission (up to 30 days after discharge), long hospital stays (10 days or more) or in-hospital deaths. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study including patients aged 60 years or older (n=340) admitted at a 630-beds tertiary hospital, located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A predictive model of high-risk indication was developed by analyzing logistical regression […]

Impact of intensive care unit admission during handover on mortality: propensity matched cohort study
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2021AO5748
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the impact of intensive care unit admission during medical handover on mortality. Methods: Post-hoc analysis of data extracted from a prior study aimed at addressing the impacts of intensive care unit readmission on clinical outcomes. This retrospective, single-center, propensity-matched cohort study was conducted in a 41-bed general open-model intensive care unit. Patients were assigned to one of two cohorts according to time of intensive care unit admission: Handover Group (intensive care unit admission between 6:30 am […]
