Background: Early risk stratification scores utilizing data available at the bedside have been used regularly to identify patients at greatest risk of poor outcomes from rapidly evolving conditions like sepsis. Little is known about how point-of-care scores developed for sepsis perform at predicting outcomes in large, heterogeneous cohorts of patients with COVID-19. Our objective was […]

Background: Identifying patients who may benefit from a Serious Illness Conversation (SIC) in the hospital is an important step in increasing SIC timeliness. Epic’s Readmission Risk Score (RRS) is an electronic health record integrated composite score (0-100%) that includes diagnostic, laboratory, medication, order, and utilization variables to predict unplanned, 30-day readmission and was found by […]

Background: Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in over 1 million deaths globally(1). Prognostic tools to identify high risk patients are crucial to guide resource allocation efforts(2). We aimed at developing a risk assessment tool for patients with COVID-19 based on the risk factors with most significant effect on hospital admission and in-hospital mortality. Methods: We […]

Background: Chest pain and related symptoms are the number two reason patients visit emergency departments in the United States, often leading to routine hospitalization or observation. Improving utilization management of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain is an important goal for hospitals. Use of 5th generation troponins and risk stratifying tools can […]

Background: Thirty-day readmission rates are increasingly used among hospitals as a quality of care indicator since research has shown that higher than expected readmission rates often lead to poor patient outcomes and high financial costs. Causes of readmission tend to be multifactorial and possibly variable dependent on systems. To investigate predictors of 30-day readmission rates, […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: The HOSPITAL score is an internationally validated risk assessment to identify patients at risk of 30 day readmission for adults discharged from an inpatient medical department.1The HOSPITAL score is validated for all hospital admissions – acute and chronic. The purpose of this study was to assess the use of the HOSPITAL score to predict […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: HEART and TIMI risk scores that include 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and troponin I (cTnI) have been used to stratify patients presenting with chest pain that may indicate the presence of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It has been shown that the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can be derived (dECG) from 3 measured leads displayed […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: A growing area within medical literature focuses on clinical prediction and decision tools that use variables from patient history, examination, or diagnostic tests to generate outcome-based risk stratification and/or intervention recommendations. Demonstration of appropriate methodologic quality and clinical applicability remains a need. Here we explore tools that advise a complicated, multifaceted phenomenon – the […]
