This study aimed to assess the delay in initiation of clozapine, number of adequate antipsychotic trials prior to starting clozapine and practice of polypharmacy prior to starting clozapine.
Past trials of pharmacologic agents may have failed to demonstrate efficacy in part due to the resultant delay in initiation of therapy until several days after the onset of lung injury.
This study correlated the delay in initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ByCPR), basic (BLS) or advanced cardiac (ACLS) life support, and transport time (TT) to survival from prehospital cardiac arrest.
From the results, it is concluded that the delay in initiation of SGDHRS, replacement of intermediate sodium in SGDHRS with NaK and a decrease in the AHX air inlet temperature do not change the temperatures of the primary circuit significantly.
To quantify and determine factors associated with delay in initiation of tuberculosis (TB) treatment in the Thames Valley area, South East England, and the proportion of this delay that could be attributed to patient care-seeking or to delay within the National Health Service (NHS).
Among patients who experienced delay in initiation of rehabilitation, only low-income blacks experienced worse functional recovery over 12 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Low-income black stroke patients who experience delay in initiation of inpatient rehabilitation have a worse trajectory of functional recovery in the first year after stroke.
In bivariable analysis, delay in initiation of effective therapy for >72 h after diagnosis of BSI was associated with death (P = 0.03).
The identified causes of delay in initiation and maintenance of early enteral nutrition in critically ill were classified as avoidable and unavoidable.
In multivariable analysis, delay in initiation of effective therapy for >72 h after diagnosis of BSI was an independent predictor of death (odds ratio, 3.32; 95% confidence interval, 1.07 to 10.3).
