Off-hour presentation for patients with acute myocardial infarction was associated with higher short term mortality (odds ratio 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.09).
National guidelines recommend 'early' coronary angiography within 96 h of presentation for patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS).
According to those, Amy-PET will be appropriate for patients with persistent or progressive unexplained MCI, or satisfying core clinical criteria for possible AD (i.e., atypical clinical course or etiologically mixed presentation; for patients with atypically young-onset dementia).
Statistical differences between numerical means (ages, number of visits or time of presentation) for patients 65 and over (versus patients under 65) were determined using t-test for non-paired values.
In conclusion, we have provided a comprehensive account of the descriptive epidemiology of cancer diagnosis through emergency presentation for patients with 27 different cancers, examining both overall and cancer-specific variation by patient characteristic.
The median age at presentation for patients with colorectal cancer is 72 years, whereas the median age of patients in clinical trials is 63 years (Schmoll et al, 2012).
From this set of variables, we derived a prediction rule, REA-ICU score, that demonstrated a consistent discriminatory power for predicting ICU admission occurring within three days of ED presentation for patients with CAP not requiring immediate ICU transfer.
Efforts to accomplish these tasks should also begin immediately, but these items may be completed within 24 hours of presentation for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock (IHI 2007).
The Severe Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle describes seven tasks (Table 2) that should begin immediately, but must be accomplished within the first 6 hours of presentation for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.
Presentations of osteoarthritis in the knee in Korean patients are similar to presentations for Western patients except for the preponderance of female patients and varus knee deformity in the majority of patients.
