Given the absence of a gold standard, the criterion-related validity will be studied by determining whether the patients reporting lower levels of satisfaction correlate with higher mortality rates, longer hospital stays, higher number of hospital admissions, higher use of health care resources and more episodes of worsening.
Besides, the tracheostomized patients usually have prolonged ICU stay, high mortality and morbidity arise from concomitant comorbidities.
While dialysis requiring AKI is a well-known factor of poor outcome of AKI such as longer hospital stay, higher mortality, and predisposition to end-stage renal disease, we observed in our study that patients with stage 1, 2, or 3 without the need for RRT or even those with subclinical AKI had significantly longer hospital stay and worse 6 months eGFR than the non-AKI group.
This post has been corrected to reflect that child mortality rates stayed disturbingly high, not low, in Gujarat.
Multiresistant strains are particularly problematic, conveying increased mortality, longer hospital stays, and higher hospital costs over and above the values associated with susceptible strains of these pathogens.
The clinical studies highlighted in the preceding sections illustrate that patients infected with resistant strains of key Gram-negative pathogens have increased mortality, longer hospital stays, and higher hospital costs than those infected by susceptible strains.
CONCLUSIONS: Community-dwelling, hemodialysis-dependent patients hospitalized with MRSA bacteremia face a higher mortality risk, longer hospital stays, and higher inpatient costs than do patients with MSSA bacteremia.
The infection with resistant strains was associated with higher mortality rates, longer hospital stays, and higher treatment costs [ 6].
There was no increased mortality or stay in the high risk subgroups after CPOE implementation.
Conversely, reintubation (extubation failure) after planned extubation is associated with adverse outcomes, including increased hospital mortality, prolonged hospital stay, higher costs, and greater need for tracheotomy and transfer to postacute care [ 2- 4].
