With the aging of the population, admission in intensive care unit (ICU) of elderly cancer pts is more often asked.
We estimated age-based population admission rates [ 7, 11].
The administrative coding was validated against the chart review for the study population, admission type, comorbidity status, and postoperative complications.
In this nationally representative study population, admission to hospital for a respiratory diagnosis occurred in only 1.8% of children.
Most papers provided rates in terms of admissions per patient year for the T1DM cohort, but a minority of papers expressed rates in terms of admissions per 100,000 population or as a ratio of T1DM admission rates to entire population admission rates and did not provide the underlying admission rate for the population, such that hospitalisation rates for the T1DM cohort could be inferred.
However, the studies had substantial heterogeneity (I = 96%, 95% CI = 94 99) and none of the subgroups investigated like population, admission category, assay used, severity of disease, and description and masking of the reference standard, could account for that heterogeneity.
But undergraduate and graduate education have distinct purposes and serve separate populations; admissions applications reflect these differences.
As study participants were not homogenous, but were members of different populations (admissions, patients, residents, and S. aureus isolates), it was difficult to compare MRSA rates.
The varying rates of morbidity may be explained by differences in populations, admission criteria, and methods and timing of assessments.
An explanation for this could be the difference in population (acute admissions) and the relatively low number of ADRs as a reason for admission.
