An electrocardiogram performed at admission documented an unknown atrial fibrillation with high ventricular response.
A skin biopsy made at admission documented CUA.
Other variables recorded included bacteraemia, microbiologically documented infection and delay from hospital admission (documented time when the patient arrived at the emergency department) to administration of adequate antibiotic therapy.
After a while I looked in the admission file and noted that they were practising in their religion.'ItIt said he belonged to this religion on the admission documents.
On average the median (IQR) length of stay was 3 (2–6) days, while the overall median time to death was 33 (13 – 87) hours for children who had the time of death and admission documented (n = 230).
Patient-specific information is sought in the following paper or electronic sources: the transferal document of the Accident & Emergency unit or admission office, the patient chart, the (electronic) patient record, the general practitioner's patient record, the electronic prescription system, old admission documents, the digital bed schedule, transfer notes, the assignment sheet, and test results.
Of the 230 children who died and had time of death and admission documented, 60% (140) of these deaths were within the first 48 hours of admission, these and other patient characteristics are described by admission time further in Table 2.
However, since the total resident population data were taken from initial admission documents and the study population reflects a group of these residents, months to years post-admission, this discrepancy may be explained at least in part by the deterioration in health status associated with advancing age in long term care residents [ 39, 40].
For example, a recent systematic review of predictive risk models for 30 day re-admissions documented c-statistics ranging from 0.50 to 0.72.
We found that the number of ED admissions documented with the codes we selected peaked in 2005 and 2007 and sharply decreased between 2008 and 2010.
Changes in coding, policy, or public awareness may have played a part in the decreased number of ED admissions documented with our selected codes during 2007 2010.
