The score-based system allows a standardized analysis of characteristic indications of pulmonary edema and facilitates a structured and objective evaluation.
Results: The Prepidil and Propess group were similar in patient characteristics, indication for induction of labour and delivery outcome.

METHODS: The electronic medical records of all pregnant patients referred from May 17 , 2005 through December 31, 2006, for genetic counseling were reviewed for maternal characteristics, indication for referral, a priori and adjusted risk of aneuploidy, and patient choice for screening or testing.
For each patient, we collected data regarding demographic characteristics, indication for EVD, classical clinical signs of inflammation and CSF analyses (cell count, protein, and glucose levels), treatment regimen at the time of sampling, and outcome.
Patient characteristics, indication and procedural aspects are shown in Table 1.
Clinical characteristics, indication for mechanical ventilation, according to Zwillich et al. [ 18], are described in Table 1.
Data extracted from the chart review included patient demographics (age, gender), BMI, history of prior surgeries, history of barium enemas, and prior incomplete colonoscopy characteristics (indication, number of prior colonoscopies, extent of prior colonoscopy, procedure duration, documented reasons for incomplete colonoscopy, and endoscopes used during the procedure).
