Importance of previous hospital stays on the risk of hospital re-admission in older adults: a real-life analysis of the PAERPA study population.

Age and Ageing

Abstract

consideration of the first hospital re-admission only and failure to take account of previous hospital stays, which are the two significant limitations when studying risk factors for hospital re-admission. The objective of the study was to use appropriate statistical models to analyse the impact of previous hospital stays on the risk of hospital re-admission among older patients. an exhaustive analysis of hospital discharge and health insurance data for a cohort of patients participating in the PAERPA ('Care Pathways for Elderly People at Risk of Loss of Personal Independence') project in the Hauts de France region of France. All patients aged 75 or over were included. All data on hospital re-admissions via the emergency department were extracted. The risk of unplanned hospital re-admission was estimated by applying a semiparametric frailty model, the risk of death by applying a time-dependent semiparametric Cox regression model. a total of 24,500 patients (median [interquartile range] age: 81 [77-85]) were included between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2017. In a multivariate analysis, the relative risk (95% confidence interval [CI]) of hospital re-admission rose progressively from 1.8 (1.7-1.9) after one previous hospital st...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
