Background Endotracheal and nasogastric tubes are recognized risk factors for nosocomial sinusitis. The extent to which these tubes affect the overall incidence of nosocomial sinusitis in acute care hospitals is unknown. Objective To use data for 2008 through 2013 from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database to compare the incidence of sinusitis in patients with nasogastric tubes with that in patients with an endotracheal tube alone or with both an endotracheal tube and a nasogastric tube. Methods Patients’ data with any of the following International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes were abstracted from the database: (1) 96.6, enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances; (2) 96.07, insertion of other (naso-)gastric tube; or (3) 96.04, insertion of an endotracheal tube. Sinusitis was defined by the appropriate codes. Weighted and unweighted frequencies and weighted percentages were calculated, categorical comparisons were made by χ2 test, and logistic regression was used to examine odds of sinusitis development by tube type. Results Of 1 141 632 included cases, most (68.57%) had an endotracheal tube only, 23.02% had a nasogastric tube only, and 8.41% had both types of tubes. Sinusitis was present in 0.15% of the sample. Compared with patients with only a nasogastric tube, the risk for sinusitis was 41% greater in patients with an endotracheal tube and 200% greater in patients with both tubes. Conclusion Despite the low incidence of sinusitis, a significant association exists between sinusitis and the presence of an endotracheal tube, especially when a nasogastric tube is also present.

Introduction: Risk stratification of the pregnant population is critical to improving outcomes associated with pregnancy-related Acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Pregnancy-related hospitalizations (antepartum as well as postpartum) and AMI were identified using appropriate International classification of disease-Ninth revision (ICD-9) codes from nationwide inpatient sample database (2005-2014). Simple logistic regression was used to calculate predictors of AMI during pregnancy. Results: We identified 3,786 cases of AMI from a total of 43,437,621 pregnancy related hospitalization during study period. Compared to pregnant women <20-year, we noted more than 10-fold risk of AMI among patients ≥ 40 years (OR 10.1, 95% CI 5.3-19.0, p<0.001). Other significant predictors of AMI during pregnancy were black race compared to white ( OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.3-1.9, p<0.001), co-existing comorbidities such as hypertension (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.5-2.5, p<0.001),, thrombophilia (OR 4.8, 95% CI 2.7-8.5, p<0.001), diabetes milletus (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0-1.9, p<0.027),hyperlipidemia (OR 13.2, 95% CI 9.9-17.6, p<0.001),smoking (OR 3.3, 95% CI 2.3-4.6, p<0.001), substance abuse (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.6, p=0.007), congestive heart failure (OR 26.0, 95% CI 20.3-33.2 p<0.001), deep venous thrombosis (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.3-6.2, p=0.010) as well as obstetric condition including postpartum hemorrhage (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3-2.4, p<0.001),, transfusion during pregnancy (OR 3.2, 95% CI 2.4-4.2, p<0.001), postpartum infection (OR 2,7, 95% CI 1.9-3.9, p<0.001),, fluid and electrolyte imbalance (OR 5.2, 95% CI 4.2- 6.6, p<0.001), and postpartum depression (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.9 p=0.013). Conclusions: We identified certain patient-level characteristics which correlated to high risk of AMI. This information can be utilized to decide resource allocation and the introduction of early multidisciplinary intervention among high-risk population

Background: The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs. Stenting Trial (CREST) showed greater safety of carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients (pts) <70 yo and endarterectomy (CEA) in >70 yo. The aim of this study was to evaluate national patterns in CAS performance in pts >70yo in the pre- (2007-2010) and post-CREST (2011-2013) era. Methods: Adults requiring CAS or CEA were identified from the 2007-2013 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) using International Classification of Disease (ICD-9) codes. We estimated the proportion of CAS performed in all age groups and used multivariate models adjusted for clinical and hospital factors to compare odds of receiving CAS in the pre- to post-CREST era. Results: We identified 839,357 weighted cases of CAS and CEA from the NIS. 15.7% of CAS and 8.4% of CEA were performed in symptomatic pts. CAS increased in all age groups over time (figure 1). Proportion of >70yo receiving CAS increased from 11.9% in the pre- to 13.9% in the post-CREST era (p=0.004). In multivariate models, odds of receiving CAS as opposed to CEA increased by 15% in all pts >70yo in the post-CREST compared to the pre-CREST period (OR 1.15, 95%CI 1.10-1.19, p<0.001) including asymptomatic women (OR 1.10, 1.03-1.18). Congestive heart failure (OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.41-1.60), peripheral vascular disease (OR 1.41, 95%CI 1.34-1.48) and hospitalization in the Western region as opposed to the Northeast (OR 1.25, 95%CI 1.16-1.34) were associated with higher odds of CAS in pts>70yo, while female sex (OR 0.92, 95%CI =0.89-0.97), smoking (OR 0.84, 95%CI 0.79-0.90) and weekend admission (OR 0.78, 95%CI 0.70-0.86) were negatively associated with odds of CAS. Conclusion: Rates of CAS increased in the post- compared to pre-CREST era in pts >70yo including asymptomatic women. Despite the concerns of higher periprocedural complications with CAS in elderly pts, the results of CREST have not influenced clinical revascularization practice in pts >70yo.

Aspiration pneumonia due to gastroesophageal reflux is a serious and frequently encountered problem in pediatrics and pediatric surgery.1-3 Occasionally aspiration may be silent and minimal, yet chronic unexplained respiratory symptoms may appear.4 A number of authors have reported another cause of aspiration in children, namely aspiration of gastric juice while the child is receiving mechanical ventilation by means of a respirator, especially if an uncuffed endotracheal tube is used.5-7 Nasogastric tubes are frequently used in pediatrics and pediatric surgery. It was found that the incidence of postoperative pneumonia in adults was 10 times higher in patients in whom nasogastric tubes were used.8

Introduction/background: Comorbidities can potentially affect outcome of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). It is unclear what the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its impact on outcome are in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: We analyzed the data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2005-2014) for all intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. AMI was identified using the International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Baseline characteristics, discharge outcomes (mortality, discharge disposition, length of stay and in-hospital charges) were compared between the two groups. Results: Of the 884379 patients with ICH, 27692 (3.13%) had in-hospital myocardial infraction. ICH patients with AMI order had lower proportion of females (47.8% versus 49.7%, P= 0.0028) and were older (69.7 years versus 67.2 years, P <.0001) compared to ICH patients without MI. The in-hospital mortality was higher (40.9% versus 25.5%, p≤.0001) among ICH patients with AMI in both univariate and multivariate analysis (OR = 1.22 (1.14 -1.31), P<.0001) after adjusting for potential confounders. ICH patients with MI had higher (72.4% versus 58.8%, P <.0001) proportion of moderate to severe disability at discharge compared to ones without. Similarly, mean length of in-hospital stay (12.4 days versus 8.94 days, P <.0001) and mean hospital charges ($129328 versus $ 81984.0, P <.0001) were also higher in ICH patients with MI Conclusions: While only 3.13% of patients with ICH have an AMI, there is a 22% increase in worse outcome among those patients with AMI and ICH.

As digital technology development continues to expand, both its positive and negative applications have also grown. As such, it is essential to continue gathering data on the many types of digital technologies, their overall effects, and their impact on public health. The World Health Organization’s inclusion of Gaming Disorder in the eleventh edition of the International Classification of Disease (ICD-11) indicates that some of the problematic effects of gaming are similar to those of substance-use disorders and gambling. Certain behaviors easily engaged in via the internet may also lead to compulsive levels of use in certain users, such as shopping or pornography use. In contrast, digital technologies can also lead to improvements in and wider accessibility to mental health treatments. Furthermore, various types of digital technologies can also lead to benefits such as increased productivity or social functioning. By more effectively understanding the impacts of all types of digital technologies, we can aim to maximize their benefits while minimizing or preventing their negative impacts.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Sprachtherapeutisch-linguistische Fachkreise empfehlen die Anpassung einer von einem internationalen Konsortium empfohlenen Änderung der Nomenklatur für Sprachstörungen im Kindesalter, insbesondere für Sprachentwicklungsstörungen (SES), auch für den deutschsprachigen Raum. Fragestellung Ist eine solche Änderung in der Terminologie aus ärztlicher und psychologischer Sicht sinnvoll? Material und Methode Kritische Abwägung der Argumente für und gegen eine Nomenklaturänderung aus medizinischer und psychologischer Sicht eines Fachgesellschaften- und Leitliniengremiums. Ergebnisse Die ICD-10-GM (Internationale statistische Klassifikation der Krankheiten und verwandter Gesundheitsprobleme, 10. Revision, German Modification) und eine S2k-Leitlinie unterteilen SES in umschriebene SES (USES) und SES assoziiert mit anderen Erkrankungen (Komorbiditäten). Die USES- wie auch die künftige SES-Definition der ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision) fordern den Ausschluss von Sinnesbehinderungen, neurologischen Erkrankungen und einer bedeutsamen intellektuellen Einschränkung. Diese Definition erscheint weit genug, um leichtere nonverbale Einschränkungen einzuschließen, birgt nicht die Gefahr, Kindern Sprach- und weitere Therapien vorzuenthalten und erkennt das ICD(International Classification of Disease)-Kriterium, nach dem der Sprachentwicklungsstand eines Kindes bedeutsam unter der Altersnorm und unterhalb des seinem Intelligenzalter angemessenen Niveaus liegen soll, an. Die intendierte Ersetzung des Komorbiditäten-Begriffs durch verursachende Faktoren, Risikofaktoren und Begleiterscheinungen könnte die Unterlassung einer dezidierten medizinischen Differenzialdiagnostik bedeuten. Schlussfolgerungen Die vorgeschlagene Terminologie birgt die Gefahr, ätiologisch bedeutsame Klassifikationen und differenzialdiagnostische Grenzen zu verwischen und auf wertvolles ärztliches und psychologisches Fachwissen in Diagnostik und Therapie sprachlicher Störungen im Kindesalter zu verzichten.
