These aspects of college admissions demonstrate the misguided use of admissions data and the way these practices hurt applicants.
The range of admissions demonstrated well the multi-disciplinary program approach Table 1.
This synergy may help to explain the association between ambient CO and CHF admissions demonstrated in other studies.
The following comparisons between NT and OH admissions demonstrate that the ratios of emergency admissions (59.4% vs. 12.2%; P < 0.001), medical patients (8.6% vs. 3.3%; P < 0.001) and median APACHE II scores (14 vs. 8; P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the NT group than in the OH group (Table 1).
In the model excluding respiratory admissions we could not find any signal of a secular trend or changes in trend and level after the intervention (full model, P = 0.2), while the analysis limited to respiratory admissions demonstrated an immediate effect of the intervention (regression coefficient = -0.383, P < 0.03).
Unplanned hospital admissions for ill-defined conditions are known to be increasing in the UK and other countries and they are a common feature of older people's admissions, demonstrating a stepwise increase in incidence with age even within older populations [ 9- 15].
A study of 179 acute surgical admissions demonstrated that patients who presented with SIRS had more therapeutic interventions (39.7 vs. 16.4%, P = 0.001), surgical interventions (33.3 vs. 3.4%, P < 0.0001), longer hospital stay (median 6 vs. 2 days, P < 0.001), and more frequent deaths (11.1 vs. 2.6%, P < 0.05) than patients who did not present with SIRS (10).
b Plain chest radiograph in the same patient as in 13a performed during trauma survey on admission demonstrates distal migration of a shotgun pellet (blue arrow) into the mid-oesophagus (confirmed on CT chest assessment [not shown]).
The average haemoglobin level on admission demonstrates that patients may present with anaemia which is due to various factors ranging from the fracture itself to poor nutrition or other illnesses.
This large multicenter cohort study, focusing specifically on dysnatremia at ICU admission, demonstrates that this electrolyte disorder is common and is an independent risk factor for ICU mortality.
