متن کاملPredictive value of foot pressure assessment as part of a population-based diabetes disease management program.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic plantar pressure assessment to determine patients at high risk for neuropathic ulceration. In choosing the cut point, we looked for an optimum combination of sensitivity and specificity of plantar pressure to screen for neuropathic ulceration. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,666 consecutive individuals with diabetes (50.3% male) pres...
متن کاملPreoperative airway assessment: predictive value of a multivariate risk index.
Using readily available and objective airway risk criteria, a multivariate model for stratifying risk of difficult endotracheal intubation was developed and its accuracy compared to currently applied clinical methods. We studied 10,507 consecutive patients who were prospectively assessed prior to general anesthesia with respect to mouth opening, thyromental distance, oropharyngeal (Mallampati) ...
