SURVIVAL IN PATIENTS WITH MALIGNANT GLIOMAS OF THE BRAIN
The present retrospective study was designed to analyze factors with prognostic values a) within, and b) significantly associated with, short-term (12months or less) and long-term (more than 24 months) survival times, i n 72 consecutive patients treated for malignant gliomas. Among 41 (57%) short-term surviving patients, the absence of both aphasia and motor deficit (as initial presenting ...
متن کاملRacial differences in survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest.
CONTEXT Racial differences in survival have not been previously studied after in-hospital cardiac arrest, an event for which access to care is not likely to influence treatment. OBJECTIVES To estimate racial differences in survival for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrests and examine the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors and the admitting hospital with racial differenc...
متن کاملPersistent outpatient hyperglycemia is independently associated with decreased survival after primary resection of malignant brain astrocytomas.
OBJECTIVE Patients with malignant brain astrocytomas are at high risk for developing hyperglycemia secondary to frequent corticosteroid administration. Several clinical studies have shown that hyperglycemia is associated with poor outcome in multiple disease states. Furthermore, hyperglycemia augments in vitro astrocytoma growth, whereas hypoglycemia attenuates in vitro astrocytoma cell growth....

متن کاملRacial differences in survival among men with prostate cancer and comorbidity at time of diagnosis.
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of comorbidity at diagnosis on racial differences in survival among men with prostate cancer. METHODS Clinical and demographic data were abstracted from records of 864 patients diagnosed at 4 Chicago area hospitals between 1986 and 1990. Comorbidity was scored on the basis of clinical information in the Charlson index. Cause-specific relative mortali...
