We also assessed the relationship between the hospitalisations and the number of alerts generated by the telemonitoring system in the five days leading up to the corresponding admissions.
Patient details from the PTI data set were linked to the corresponding admissions recorded in Scottish national hospital data (the Scottish Morbidity Record, SMR-01) using probabilistic matching.
Comparison with ONS data, the corresponding admissions to English acute providers for patients with frailty syndromes is larger than might be expected by demographic shift associated with ageing.
In the current analysis, we compare two distinct record linkage strategies for unidirectional linking of discharges from hospital with the corresponding admissions into or returns to care in a RAC facility.
We collected data that reflected macrocirculation and organ perfusion at inclusion, corresponding to admission or vasopressors infusion for septic shock, and at 6, 12 and 24 h after inclusion.
The corresponding CPS admission rate, averaged for the years 2003 to 2012, was 17.2percentt.
Second, in examining the completeness of the MDS data relative to Medicare records, we found reasonably high correspondence between discharge records and Medicare hospitalizations and deaths and found that most SNF stays have a corresponding MDS admission.
The selected measurements were verified by scanning the patients' medical records for known causes of extreme serum potassium levels, such as previously diagnosed hypo- or hyperkalemia, renal dysfunction and cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the corresponding hospital admission.
This study used data from several health care information systems, and most of the indicators were based on the concept of first hospital access, corresponding to patient admission to an acute inpatient facility or to emergency department access.
Among the enrolled individuals, there was a total of 520 hospitalisation episodes corresponding to an admission rate of 40 admissions per 1,000 enrolled individuals.
