Kennedy criticized the university's approach to affirmative action but suggested, vaguely, that some racial preferences might be tolerated; pity the poor admissions officers who try to make sense of the opinion.
This retrospective cohort trial demonstrates an association between hyperchloremia and poor ICU admission outcome (death).
In multivariable logistic regression modelling age, poor neurological admission status, cerebral infarction of any cause and peak hsTnT were independently associated with poor late outcome.
The reason why there was low agreement between the first and fourth assessments (month 9) may be due to the fact that the participating patients' cognitive functions had been poor upon admission for treatment, due to their depression.
In contrast, their physical conditions were not poor before admission as the lethality of their SB was typically mild, and only a small portion of the subjects (14%) received inpatient treatment for physical damage caused by SB.
According to testimony from hearings, internal documents and e-mail messages released to the panel, university officials fretted about the university's decline in national rankings as a result of the poor student admissions even as they encouraged the special treatment.
A recent systematic review of the literature has concluded that a poorer pre-admission academic record may sometimes be associated with dropout [ 21], but our students almost all arrive with good academic grades.
Some of these variables that have not been previously reported include the absence of headache (related with septicemia and meningitis rather than meningitis alone), bulging fontanelle, grunting and poor feeding on admission (physical signs encountered in infants), vomiting on admission and a positive blood culture or CSF gram stain.
Cluster analyses revealed two groups: cluster 1 included patients in poor condition upon admission (n = 52), and cluster 2 included patients in fair/good condition upon admission (n = 75).
The groups can be meaningfully described as a cluster with patients in poor condition on admission (cluster 1, "poor cluster") and a cluster with patients in fair/good condition on admission (cluster 2, "good cluster").
