The prevalence of "at-risk" patients (NRS 2002 scores of 3+) was highest in patients with cardiac conditions (31.5%) and lowest in patients with diseases of the respiratory system (6.9%). Controlling for sex, age, education, type of insurance, smoking status, the main diagnosed disease, and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), the multivariate analysis showed that the NRS 2002 score = 3 [hazard ratio (HR): 1.376, 95% CI: 1.031-1.836] were associated with approximately a 1.5-fold higher likelihood of death. NRS 2002 scores = 4 (HR: 1.982, 95% CI: 1.491-2.633) and NRS scores ≥ 5 (HR: 1.982, 95% CI: 1.498-2.622) were associated with a 2-fold higher likelihood of death, compared with NRS 2002 scores <3. An NRS 2002 score of 3 (percentage change: 16.4, 95% CI: 9.6-23.6), score of 4 (32.4, 95% CI: 24-41.4), and scores of ≥ 5 (36.8, 95% CI 28.3-45.8) were associated with a significantly (16.4, 32.4, and 36.8%, respectively) higher likelihood of increased LoS compared with an NRS 2002 scores <3. The NRS 2002 score = 3 group (17.8, 95% CI: 8.6-27.7) was associated with a 17.8%, the NRS 2002 score = 4 group (31.1, 95% CI: 19.8-43.5) a 31.1%, and the NRS 2002 score ≥ 5 group (44.3, 95% CI: 32.3-57.4) a 44.3%, higher likelihood of increased hospital costs compared with a NRS 2002 scores <3 group. Specifically, the most notable mortality-specific comorbidity and LoS-specific comorbidity was injury, while the most notable cost-specific comorbidity was diseases of the digestive system. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the high burden of undernutrition at the time of hospital admission on the health and hospital cost outcomes for older immobile inpatients. These findings underscore the need for nutritional risk screening in all Chinese hospitalized patients, and improved diagnosis, treatment, and nutritional support to improve immobile patient outcomes and to reduce healthcare costs.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:45:14 AEDT ]]> Estimating the effect of health assessments on mortality, physical functioning and health care utilisation for women aged 75 years and older https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45171 Wed 26 Oct 2022 14:18:49 AEDT ]]> Social determinants of health and frailty are associated with all-cause mortality in older adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45063 p< 0.01) reduced the risk of dying, after adjusting for potential confounders. While, not counting on someone to trust (HR= 1.59; p< 0.03) and having a sense a lack of control over important decisions in life increased the mortality risk. Conclusions: Given that frailty and the SDH affect health using independent pathways, public health systems in Mexico could benefit from increasing the capacity of identifying frail and isolated older adults and providing a risk-stratified health care accordingly.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:43:11 AEDT ]]> Dual antiplatelet therapy and surgical timing in geriatric hip fracture https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45019 P = 0.968) but did affect major complications (time modeled as quadratic term; odds ratios ranging from 0.20 to 7.91, Ptime = 0.001, Ptime*time<0.001) and 30-day mortality (odds ratio 1.32, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.68, P = 0.030).

In total, 67 sharks were caught with demersal fish trawls and commercial longlines and subjected to different deck exposures and release environments. Tailbeat rates of deck-exposed sharks were significantly lower than the control sharks, but this effect differed between in-situ and experimental environments. Results indicate that capture has species-specific effects, that post-release effects may last longer than 5 min, and that controlled experiments may not be reliable indicators of post-release effects. Immediate post-release swimming was not a good predictor of post-release behaviour, suggesting capture and release fisheries may have significant sub-lethal effects on some species of shark, and that limiting capture or handling time may reduce post-release effects.]]> Wed 09 Jun 2021 13:51:11 AEST ]]> Occupational differences in suicide mortality among Japanese men of working age https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24096 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:54:34 AEDT ]]> The challenges and threats high island coral reef ecosystems face in the Anthropocene https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50197 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:42:35 AEDT ]]> Daily steps and diet, but not sleep, are related to mortality in older Australians https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38655 Wed 04 May 2022 15:19:55 AEST ]]> Blood interferon-a levels and severity, outcomes, and inflammatory profiles in hospitalized COVID-19 patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38147 Wed 04 Aug 2021 18:45:51 AEST ]]> Universal Risk Factors for Mortality in Bloodstream Infections (UNIFORM): a systematic review and Delphi survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55014 500 participants. Exposures: Independently significant risk factors for all-cause, preferably 30-day, mortality. Data sources: PubMed was used to identify eligible studies published between 2000 and 2020. A Delphi survey among experts was used to evaluate and prioritize the factors identified by the systematic review. Risk of bias: SIGN checklist complemented by risk of bias assessment of the adjusted analysis. Data synthesis: Definite universal risk factors were defined as those assessed in >50% of all included studies and significant in >50% of those. Potential universal risk factors were defined as those significant in >50% of studies evaluating the factor and a subgroup analysis was performed for studies of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. Results: We included in the systematic review 62 studies, comprising more than 300,000 patients, from which a list of 17 risk factors was derived, whose association with all-cause mortality was statistically significant in most studies. The factors address baseline patient variables, the setting of infection acquisition, factors associated with the specific infection, the inflammatory response at onset of sepsis and management parameters where relevant. There were 14 risk factors for S. aureus bacteraemia. Conclusion: We identified a minimum set of universal factors to be collected, reported, and assessed, in all future studies evaluating factors associated with mortality in bacteraemia to improve study quality and harmonization.]]> Wed 03 Apr 2024 11:15:36 AEDT ]]> Alcohol intake and total mortality in 142 960 individuals from the MORGAM Project: a population-based study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45662 20 g/day was associated with a 13% (95% CI = 7–20%) increase in the risk of total mortality. Comparable findings were observed for cardiovascular (CV) deaths. With regard to cancer, drinking up to 10 g/day was not associated with either mortality risk reduction or increase, while alcohol intake > 20 g/day was associated with a 22% (95% CI = 10–35%) increased risk of mortality. The association of alcohol with fatal outcomes was similar in men and women, differed somewhat between countries and was more apparent in individuals preferring wine, suggesting that benefits may not be due to ethanol but other ingredients. Mediation analysis showed that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol explained 2.9 and 18.7% of the association between low alcohol intake and total as well as CV mortality, respectively. Conclusions: In comparison with life-time abstainers, consuming less than one drink per day (nadir at 5 g/day) was associated with a reduced risk of total, cardiovascular and other causes mortality, except cancer. Intake of more than two drinks per day was associated with an increased risk of total, cardiovascular and especially cancer mortality.]]> Wed 02 Nov 2022 15:52:10 AEDT ]]> Coral disease causes,

Patients were identified from the trauma registry, and data for age, sex, mechanism of injury, ISS, survival to discharge, and length of stay were collected. Mortality was examined for patients with severe injury (ISS > 15) and patients with critical injury (ISS > 24) and compared for the three periods: 2002–2004 (without trauma specialist), 2005–2007 (with trauma specialist), and 2008–2011 (with specialist trauma service). Results: A total of 3,869 severely injured (ISS > 15) trauma patients were identified during the 10-year period. Of these, 2,826 (73%) were male, 1,513 (39%) were critically injured (ISS > 24), and more than 97% (3,754) were the victim of blunt trauma. Overall mortality decreased from 12.4% to 9.3% (relative risk, 0.75) from period one to period three and from 25.4% to 20.3% (relative risk, 0.80) for patients with critical injury. A 0.46% per year decrease (p = 0.018) in mortality was detected (odds ratio, 0.63; p < 0.001). For critically injured (ISS > 24), the trend was (0.61% per year; odds ratio, 0.68; p = 0.039). Conclusion: The introduction of a specialist trauma service decreased the mortality of patients with severe injury, the model of care should be considered to implement state- and nationwide in Australia.

Assessment of E. faecium using MLST to understand the spread of this organism is an important component of hospital infection control measures. Recent studies, however, suggest that MLST might be inadequate for E. faecium surveillance. Objectives: To use WGS to characterize recently identified vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) isolates non-typeable by MLST that appear to be causing a multi-jurisdictional outbreak in Australia. Methods: Illumina NextSeq and Pacific Biosciences SMRT sequencing platforms were used to determine the genome sequences of 66 non-typeable E. faecium (NTEfm) isolates. Phylogenetic and bioinformatics analyses were subsequently performed using a number of in silico tools. Results: Sixty-six E. faecium isolates were identified by WGS from multiple health jurisdictions in Australia that could not be typed by MLST due to a missing pstS allele. SMRT sequencing and complete genome assembly revealed a large chromosomal rearrangement in representative strain DMG1500801, which likely facilitated the deletion of the pstS region. Phylogenomic analysis of this population suggests that deletion of pstS within E. faecium has arisen independently on at least three occasions. Importantly, the majority of these isolates displayed a vancomycin-resistant genotype. Conclusions: We have identified NTEfm isolates that appear to be causing a multi-jurisdictional outbreak in Australia. Identification of these isolates has important implications for MLST-based typing activities designed to monitor the spread of VREfm and provides further evidence supporting the use of WGS for hospital surveillance of E. faecium.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:38 AEDT ]]> Investigation of the relationship between sleep duration, all-cause mortality, and preexisting disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28430 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:02 AEDT ]]> The impact of blood-borne viruses on cause-specific mortality among opioid dependent people: an Australian population-based cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28914 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:58 AEDT ]]> Health, functioning, and disability in older adults - present status and future implications https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27055 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:20 AEDT ]]> The utility of estimating population-level trajectories of terminal wellbeing decline within a growth mixture modelling framework https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26740 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:48 AEDT ]]> Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in the ICU: an observational cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26186 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:10 AEDT ]]> Determinants of outcomes following resection for pancreatic cancer - a population-based study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24886 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:55 AEDT ]]> Cancer incidence and mortality in people aged less than 75 years: changes in Australia over the period 1987-2007 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23698 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:26 AEDT ]]> Length of stay and mortality associated with healthcare-associated urinary tract infections: a multi-state model https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24655 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:50 AEDT ]]> Projections of smoking-related cancer mortality in Australia to 2044 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52851 30%. For each group, an age–period– cohort model or generalised linear model with cigarette smoking exposure as a covariate was selected based on the model fit statistics and validation using observed data. The smoking-attributable fraction (SAF) was calculated for each smoking-related cancer using Australian smoking prevalence data and published relative risks. Results: Despite the decreasing mortality rates projected for the period 2015–2019 to 2040–2044 for both men and women, the overall number of smoking-related cancer deaths is estimated to increase by 28.7% for men and 35.8% for women: from 138 707 (77 839 men and 60 868 women) in 2015–2019 to 182 819 (100 153 men and 82 666 women) in 2040–2044. Over the period 2020–2044, there will be 254 583 cancer deaths (173 943 men and 80 640 women) directly attributable to smoking, with lung, larynx, oesophagus and oral (comprising lip, oral cavity and pharynx) cancers having the largest SAFs. Interpretation: Cigarette smoking will cause over 250 000 cancer deaths in Australia from 2020 to 2044. Continued efforts in tobacco control remain a public health priority, even in countries where smoking prevalence has substantially declined.]]> Mon 30 Oct 2023 09:54:19 AEDT ]]> Postoperative complications, length of stay, and mortality following colectomies in rural hospitals: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52833 Mon 30 Oct 2023 09:42:07 AEDT ]]> Sleep and physical activity in relation to all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality risk https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44756 Mon 24 Oct 2022 08:42:37 AEDT ]]> The influence of initial stroke severity on the likelihood of unfavourable clinical outcome and death at 90 days following acute ischemic stroke: a tertiary hospital stroke register study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32690 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:22:20 AEST ]]> Special issue on health and fatherhood https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32314 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:52:02 AEST ]]> Inflammatory cell response following ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention and its impact on cardiovascular outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52697 Mon 23 Oct 2023 14:05:29 AEDT ]]> The Australian Health Care Homes trial: quality of care and patient outcomes.
