A new scoring system for stratifying risk for cerebral edema in children suffering diabetic ketoacidosis
Background: Predicting adverse neurovascular complications due to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) particularly in children leads to more appropriately management of disease as well as achievement of acceptable patients' survival. Cerebral edema is a life-threatening adverse event following DKA responsible for high mortality rate. Recently, authors have focused introducing new risk assessment tools ...
متن کاملClinical Characteristics of Severe Erosive Esophagitis among Patients with Erosive Esophagitis: A Case-control Study
Objective The risk factors associated with severe erosive esophagitis are not well defined in Japan. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with the endoscopic severity of esophageal mucosal injury. Methods Eighty consecutive Japanese patients with severe erosive esophagitis [Los Angeles (LA) classification grade C or D] who had undergone upper endoscopies in the Gastroenterology Divi...
متن کاملA Model for Predicting the Future Risk of Incident Erosive Esophagitis in an Asymptomatic Population Undergoing Regular Check-ups
Erosive esophagitis is a major risk factor for Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Information regarding the putative risk factors for developing erosive esophagitis is considerably heterogeneous; thus, a risk model is required to clinically predict the incidence of erosive esophagitis. This study was to derive and validate a predictive model for the incidence of developing erosive...
متن کاملPrevalence and risk factors of erosive esophagitis in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Erosive esophagitis is a common condition in the western population. However, the prevalence and risk factors of this disorder in Taiwan remain unclear. This study investigated the current prevalence of erosive esophagitis in Taiwan and attempted to identify the risk factors for this disease. METHODS From January 2008 to May 2009, 2040 consecutive subjects who underwent upper gastr...
متن کاملPREDICTING THE RISK OF PRETERM LABOR BY SECOND TRIMESTER MEASUREMENT OF MATERNAL a-FETOPROTEIN LEVELS AND A RISK FACTOR SCORING SYSTEM
ABSTRACT Background: Preterm labor (delivery after 20 weeks and before 37 weeks of gestation) is the leading cause of prenatal mortality in developed countries. Many women who have pre term labor have abnom1ally high plasma levels of a-fetoprotein in early pregnancy. Methods: This study was designed to evaluate the ability of this biochemical test and a clinical risk factor scoring system to p...
