Background: Adult failure to thrive is a functional decline usually seen in the elderly. The causes of adult failure to thrive are multifactorial. There is some evidence that adult failure to thrive impacts other co-morbid conditions in patients. There is some data to suggest that adult failure to thrive can impact medical costs and increase […]

Background: Hyperglycemia and hyperosmolarity are frequent causes of hospitalization in patients with type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). As a result, these conditions are associated with increased mortality, morbidity and increased health costs. This study examines the outcomes of patients with T2DM admitted for hyperglycemia and hyperosmolarity. Methods: Vizient database is a large administrative database and […]

Background: Diastolic heart failure is an increasingly prevalent condition and has been shown in studies to be a prognostic indicator of future morbidity and all-cause mortality. Several interventions and novel therapeutic modalities have shown benefit in patients with diastolic heart failure with respect to improved mortality. Despite these studies, a comprehensive evaluation of outcomes and […]

Background: It is well-known that development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients is associated with adverse outcomes. However, estimates of adverse outcomes in these patients has not been well-characterized. Reliable and accurate estimates are essential to understand the impact of AKI and for resource utilization. The objective of this study is to examine […]

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients is linked to adverse outcomes. Presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in these patients has been shown to be an independent risk factor. Outcomes of patients with AKI on CKD have not been well-examined. This study is a retrospective analysis of outcomes in hospitalized patients with AKI […]

Background: Several studies have examined the impact of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients. These studies usually have reported relatively worse outcomes with hypoglycemia in diabetics. However, differences in outcomes in type I and II diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with hypoglycemia have not been well examined. Methods: The objective of this study was to examine differences in […]

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent cause of hospitalization. It results in significant mortality and morbidity. Several studies have examined the mortality associated with PE and improvements seen with different modalities of treatment. However, other outcomes of PE hospitalization such as length of stay and ICU utilization have not been well-examined. The objective of […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Cardiac arrest is a major cause of in-hospital mortality and morbidity. Despite advances in treatment and several interventions to target mortality and improve outcomes, cardiac arrest continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine outcomes of cardiac arrest patients. In addition to mortality, length […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Several studies have shown increased mortality and readmission rate in patients admitted to hospitals over the weekend. This “weekend effect” has been well-described for several medical conditions and has been attributed to several factors. However, a comprehensive analysis of clinical outcomes of patients discharged over the weekend has not been performed. The objective of […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Despite advances in treatment modalities, systolic heart failure carries a high risk of mortality. Several studies have shown that patients with systolic heart failure also experience frequent hospitalization. Although several medical and surgical intervention studies have examined mortality outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure, an in-depth analysis of outcomes of hospitalized systolic heart […]
