Ten-year trends in the incidence and treatment of cardiogenic shock.

2 Nov 2008 BACKGROUND: Few studies describe recent changes in the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of cardiogenic shock. OBJECTIVE: To examine temporal trends in the incidence, therapeutic management, and mortality rates of patients with the acute coronary ... Read more...

Traditional and laparoscopic appendectomy in adults: outcomes in English NHS hospitals between 1996 and 2006.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: This study investigated length of stay, readmission rates, and postoperative mortality in adult patients undergoing traditional and laparoscopic appendectomy in England between April 1, 1996, and March 31, 2006. METHODS: All procedures ... Read more...

Racial disparity in the relationship between hospital volume and mortality among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the volume-mortality relationship in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) differs by race and operative risk. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: In-hospital mortality after CABG is inversely associated with hospital volume. ... Read more...
