The results of this prospective, hospital-based cohort study confirm that elderly (≥65 years) patients are at high risk for prolonged hospitalization, readmissions, and death after a first hospitalization for HFREF.
In Oman, a prospective hospital-based surveillance study estimated that, by age five years, one in 16 children will require hospitalization due to rotavirus [ 34].
A simple mathematical model was used, with input from a two-year, two-center, prospective study on hospitalization of RV-A gastroenteritis (RVGE) in young children, published data on RV-A hospitalizations and genotypes, mortality on childhood GE and published genotype-specific efficacy data on two RV-A vaccines.
We conducted prospective, active, hospital-based surveillance for rotavirus-associated diarrheal hospitalizations among children < 5 years of age at three hospitals in two cities in Northwest Libya during the 9-month period from August 2012 to April 2013.
In this study, prospective surveillance of hospitalization data was simulated using retrospective data, to evaluate whether syndromic surveillance can effectively detect local outbreaks of lower-respiratory infections (LRIs).
Our prospective, active, hospital-based surveillance for rotavirus shows that, prior to rotavirus vaccine introduction, 58% of diarrheal hospitalizations among children < 5 years of age in Northwest Libya were caused by rotavirus.
Exclusion criteria for the prospective cohort study are hospitalization for a second (or further) hospitalization for CAP related complaints, inability to complete questionnaires, or a recent diagnosis of malignancy as the study was considered too burdensome for this latter group.
*Includes data only from trials with prospective independent adjudication of hospitalization for CHF (n = 3314).
In prospective community cohort studies, hospitalization predicts adverse cognitive outcomes [ 8- 10], though none has been able to specify if delirium is a key determinant.
AE-reported terms coded to these specific MedDRA preferred terms were used to identify possible heart failure events.> -wrap-foot> *Trials with prospective independent adjudication of hospitalization for CHF.
