Yes As the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has spread throughout the globe, it has currently remained in Latin America. The analysis of risk factors was performed using the data from patients in the first two groups: alive at discharge and died with full support. Writing – original draft, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0245772.t004. We found that high residual inpatient mortality persisted after targeted measures had achieved an initial reduction, and that the causes were spread across a wide range of diagnostic groups. 2020 Jun 1;3(6):e2012270. Yes Current reports have shown a mortality rate ranging from 8 to 21% in patients hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, and up to 16 to 78% in those requiring ICU admission [2–5]. Accessibility This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (Comité de Investigación and Comité de Ética en Investigación, reference number 3333) and informed consent was waived due to the minimal risk characteristics of an observational study. The main risk factors associated with in-hospital death were male sex (RR 2.05, 95% CI 1.34–3.12), obesity (RR 1.62, 95% CI 1.14–2.32)—in particular morbid obesity (RR 3.38, 95%CI 1.63–7.00)—and oxygen saturation < 80% on admission (RR 4.8, 95%CI 3.26–7.31). In relation to mortality, causes of death, its association with COVID-19 and the number of deaths per week are described overall and by the groups defined by the support received. Abstract: Background Observational studies claimed reducing effects of neuraminidase inhibitors (NI) on hospital mortality in patients with H1N1 influenza A. It has been criticized that such findings are prone to common and serious survival ... as of May 2015. The mortality rate in confirmed cases had an important increase until April 27th, stabilized during the first half of May and began to decrease afterwards. J Acad Consult Liaison Psychiatry. The diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) was made either with a 0.3 mg/dl elevation of serum creatinine levels or a decrease in urine output under 0.5 ml/kg/hr for > 6 hrs, staging followed the standard KDIGO guidelines criteria for AKI [20]. Adjusted TAVR In-Hospital Mortality Risk. e0245772. The confounders for adjusting the risk ratio estimate were different for each covariate and were selected according to scientific knowledge. In this prospective cohort study, we enrolled consecutive adult patients hospitalized with severe confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia at a SARS-CoV-2 referral center in Mexico City from February 26th, 2020, to June 5th, 2020. High-quality care has been defined as care that is safe, effective, patient-centred, timely, efficient and equitable.1 The hospital mortality rate (the proportion of patients who die during or shortly after admission to hospital) would be expected to reflect the safety, effectiveness and, in emergency medicine, timeliness of care and would intuitively seem to be an important measure … 10.1001/jama.2020.1585 2021 Mar 24;13(6):7767-7780. doi: 10.18632/aging.202813. eCollection 2020. Writing – review & editing. They found that mortality was found to be significantly higher for patients admitted to hospital throughout the weekend and on Wednesday and Thursday nights. But when they took into account each patient's "mode of arrival", they found that only patients admitted via A&E on Sunday daytime had an increased risk of mortality. Although the crude mortality seems to be similar to other cohorts, 45% of the non-survivor patients and 14% of the hospitalized patients who developed critical illness and warranted ICU admission did not received IMV/ICU care due to the lack of ICU bed availability (not only in this hospital but in the whole Metropolitan area of Mexico City). Although the initial failure conditioning survival is the respiratory failure, in advanced stages (after providing initial ventilatory support) viral septic shock seems to prevail as the major event leading to death, this chronological distinction has not been dissected in previous reports in which all the patients who died received IMV and ICU admission [41–43]. We included dexamethasone in the standard of care on June 30, 2020, once a preprint of the RECOVERY study [30] was available and NIH released a formal recommendation [31]. General Director´s Office, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Mexico City, Mexico, Roles Epub 2020 Oct 29. The in-hospital mortality rate with proven or suspected infection was 30% (2,404 of 7,936). The rise in deaths between May and June was mainly driven by patients who did not receive IMV/ICU admission. Would you like email updates of new search results? The distribution of deaths stratified by the support received is shown in Fig 2A. Discover a faster, simpler path to publishing in a high-quality journal. July 15;e203539 10.1001/jamainternmed.2020.3539 Among survivors, 101 (18%) received invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and 458 (82%) were managed outside the intensive care unit (ICU); mortality in the ICU was 49%. ICU, intensive care unit. Data curation, Definition of "Mortality Rate": How often patients died within 30 days of being in the hospital for a specific condition. Among the 664 patients who received full support, age was similar in survivors and non-survivors (mean of 48.8 years ± 12.9 years versus 51.9 ± 13.9 years, p = 0.054), but mean BMI (mean of 30.2 ± 5.4 kg/m2 in survivors and 32.3 ± 7.5 kg/m2 in non-survivors, p = 0.007) and diabetes prevalence (22% in survivors vs 33% in non-survivors, p = 0.015) were higher in non-survivors. The impact of hospital overcrowding was explored as well. Hospital Mortality. A vital statistic measuring or recording the rate of death from any cause in hospitalized populations. From those 800, 559 recovered (69.9%) and 241 died (30.1%). Association of body mass index with severity and mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia: a two-center, retrospective cohort study from Wuhan, China. This book examines experiences in resource-limited settings, including Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) and covers a mix of strategies to reduce hospital mortality in these settings. Equal to 1.0. Mortality is higher in patients living in an institution than in other patients. The first death occurred on April 5th and the last one on July 3rd. Although number of deaths serves as the numerator for both measures, mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the population at risk during a certain time frame. As a true rate, it estimates the risk of dying of a certain disease. Yes Background: Sickle cell disease is a major cause of death and disability and predicting mortality using Elixhauser comorbidity index can be used to adjust for patient level factors. Sergeant and colleagues analyzed data from 171,625 patients (50.9% women; median age, 73 years) who were admitted to one of seven Ontario general medical wards between April 1, 2010, and Oct. 31, 2017. In conclusion this study represents a large prospective cohort exploring in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 pneumonia in Mexico. [40] and might be irrelevant to the purpose of this study) unlike those patients who were admitted and died in the ICU in whom the cause of dead was primarily due to septic shock, followed by ARDS and multiorgan failure. However, in this cohort the mean age was a decade lower compared to previous reports from Europe and North America [2, 12, 32–35]. Secular trends in in-hospital mortality for VTE, PE (with or without DVT), and DVT alone in China from 2007 to 2016. The characteristics at admission were also compared between the first two groups (survivor at discharge versus non-survivor with full support) using a t-student test or a U Mann-Whitney test if numeric or a chi-squared test if categorical.
