A new study reveals that 20% of people are released from hospital before all vital signs are stable, and subsequently face a significantly higher risk of post-discharge adverse outcomes (Photo courtesy of UT Southwestern’s Center for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research).

Vital Sign Volatility on Discharge Quadruples Mortality Risk

Researchers at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Centre reviewed the electronic medical records (EMR) of 32,835 unique individuals from six Dallas-Fort Worth area hospitals to assess the association between vital sign instability at hospital discharge and post-discharge outcomes, including abnormalities in temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation within 24 hours of discharge. Main measures included death or non-elective readmission within 30 days. More...

Medical Errors Are a Major Cause of U.S Deaths

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine analyzed the scientific literature on medical error to identify its contribution to U.S. deaths in relation to causes listed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which are released to inform public awareness and determine national research priorities.

Inappropriate ICD Shocks Linked to Brugada Syndrome

Researchers at Academic Medical Center conducted a study in 88 consecutive BrS patients (mean age 49 years; 47% men) who were screened at AMC and CardioCenter Ticino to see if they were suitable for an sICD. All patients underwent QRS/T-wave morphology analysis before and after ajmaline infusion. At baseline, 76% of the patients had a normal ECG, 19% had a type 3BrS-ECG, and 5% had a type 2 BrS-ECG.
