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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto na mortalidade da admissão em unidade de terapia intensiva durante passagem de plantão médico. Métodos: Análise post-hoc de estudo original publicado previamente, com o objetivo de avaliar os impactos da readmissão em unidade de terapia intensiva nos desfechos clínicos. Este estudo de coorte retrospectivo, em centro único, com pareamento por escore de propensão, foi conduzido em uma unidade de terapia intensiva geral, aberta, com 41 leitos. Com base no tempo de internação na unidade de […]
