Medically complex patients consume a disproportionate amount of care resources in hospitals but still often end up with sub-optimal clinical outcomes. Predicting dynamics of complexity in such patients can potentially help improve the quality of care...
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common and costly healthcare-associated infection, yet measuring it accurately is challenging and resource-intensive. Electronic surveillance promises to make this task more objective and effic...
BACKGROUND: Aplastic anemia (AA) is an uncommon condition characterized by pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 have been shown to inhibit myelopoiesis and are major mediators of tissue damage. The primary goal of th...
OBJECTIVES: Delirium is a common and frequently underdiagnosed complication in acutely hospitalized patients, and its severity is associated with worse clinical outcomes. We propose a physiologically based method to quantify delirium severity as a to...
