ACS-induced PTSD linked to crowding in EDs

2013-02-15 16:22:00 (читать в оригинале)

Increased crowding in EDs may be associated with higher levels of ACS-induced post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, according to a research letter published in JAMA Internal Medicine.Researchers recorded time of presentation to the ED at a large teaching hospital in New York City for 135 participants (mean age, 63 years; 72% men; 23% black; 47% Hispanic) with ACS in the observational Prescription Use, Lifestyle, Stress Evaluation (PULSE) study between 2009 and 2011. They estimated degree of ED crowding exposure by calculating the number of ED admissions 12 hours before and 12 hours after each participant’s presentation time. Crowding was divided into tertiles for analysis.

Stricter smoking regulations resulted in fewer asthma hospitalizations

The introduction of laws that banned smoking in enclosed public places in England led to a 12.3% decrease in asthma attacks there, according to study findings published online.Christopher Millett, MD, of the School of Public Health at Imperial College London, and colleagues looked at data on a set of children aged 14 years and younger who were seen at an ED for asthma from April 2002 to November 2010.

Low birth weight not associated with increased risk for childhood asthma

2013-02-15 16:22:00 (читать в оригинале)

There was no link between low birth weight and an increased risk for children developing asthma within the first 7 years of life, according to recent study results.Researchers in Rochester, Minn., conducted a retrospective cohort study of 3,933 children born between January 1976 and December 1979 to compare incidence of childhood asthma between low birth weight and normal birth weight newborns. One hundred ninety-three children had low birth weight (less than 2,500 g), and 3,740 were considered of normal birth weight (2,500 g or more).

AF more than doubled 1-year mortality among TAVR recipients

2013-02-15 16:22:00 (читать в оригинале)

Atrial fibrillation of any type was associated with more than a twofold increased risk for all-cause and CV mortality among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement at 1 year, study results found.To assess the effect of AF on clinical outcomes among patients undergoing TAVR, researchers enrolled 389 high-risk patients into a prospective registry from August 2007 and October 2011.

CBO lowers estimate for 10-year freeze of payments under the SGR

2013-02-15 16:22:00 (читать в оригинале)

The Congressional Budget Office recently released its Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2013 to 2023, which lowered the estimate to hold current payment rates under the sustainable growth rate for 10 years from $243.7 billion to $138 billion. “We welcome the news from the [Congressional Budget Office] CBO that the cost of permanently replacing the flawed Medicare physician payment formula, known as [sustainable growth rate] SGR, has decreased dramatically,” AMA President Jeremy A. Lazarus, MD, stated in an AMA press release. “The new cost of freezing payments for 10 years is $138 billion, more than $100 billion less than the previous projection. The rate of Medicare spending growth declined compared to historical trends, and spending for physician services affected by the SGR is projected to be far less than previously estimated.”
