274 Comparative analysis of patients with acute coronary and cerebrovascular syndromes from the national French hospitalisation heath care system dat…
2011
Objective To compare vascular risk factor profiles and early outcomes in all French patients hospitalized for either acute coronary (ACS), or cerebrovascular syndromes (CVS), or both, between 2005 and 2008. Setting All French hospitals. Design Retrospective analysis. Data sources National database called “Hospital Discharge Diagnosis Records”. Main outcomes measured Number and annual rates, vascular risk factors, and early outcome of hospitalized patients for a unique stay for ACS or CVS or for both ACV and CVS in a 2-month time window. Results Over the 4-year study-period, 1,189,043 patients were hospitalized for CVS and/or ACS. Among these, 638,061 (53.7%) had CVS alone, 525,419 (44.3%) h…
Home treatment of fragile patients with acute pulmonary embolism: a subgroup analysis of the multinational home treatment of pulmonary embolism (HoT-…
2020
Abstract Background and aims Subgroup analyses of randomized trials and cohort studies on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) suggested that single direct drug treatment may be effective and safe in elderly and “fragile” patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). In a post-hoc analysis of HoT-PE, a prospective multicenter management trial, we studied whether early discharge and home treatment of acute PE is effective and safe in these patients. Methods HoT-PE enrolled patients with acute PE classified as being at low risk based on the modified Hestia criteria and the absence of right ventricular dysfunction. The primary efficacy outcome was symptomatic recurrent VTE, or PE-related death wi…
Economic Aspects in the Treatment of Schizophrenia in Italy: Cost Consequences of an Early Long-acting Injectable Anti-Psychotics (lais) Approach
2017
PurposeThe aim of this analysis was to evaluate the economic consequences of a new treatment approach in the treatment of schizophrenia in the Italian setting. In terms of direct costs, in Italy was estimated that the main driver were represented by hospitalization and residential cost (71% of total direct cost per patient), followed by semi-residential services (13%), anti-psychotic and other drugs (8%) and ambulatory services (8).MethodsA probabilistic cost consequence model was developed to estimate the potential cost reductions derived from an early treatment with atypical long-acting injectable anti-psychotics (aLAIs) drugs. A systematic literature review was carried out to identify di…

Emergent and delayed hybrid external fixation management of tibial pilon fractures: A multicentric retrospective analysis of 80 patients
2017
Objective: To report our experience with the hybrid external fixator in emergency. Methods: We assessed 80 cases of pilon fracture treated with the external fixator during the period of January 2009 and December 2016:55 men (69%) and 30 women (33%) with a mean age of 40 years (range between 16 and 70). About 45 occurred as isolated trauma, 35 instead were politrauma. Each patient underwent standard radiographic examination and a CT examination. There were 28 open fractures (35%), (Gustilo type 1, 2 and 3) while closed fractures showed soft tissue involvement of various grade (2-3 Tscherne classification). In all cases, the external fixation, sometimes associated with other reduction and syn…
Delayed versus early initiation of renal replacement therapy for severe acute kidney injury: a systematic review and individual patient data meta-ana…
2020
Summary Background The timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for severe acute kidney injury is highly debated when no life-threatening complications are present. We assessed whether a strategy of delayed versus early RRT initiation affects 28-day survival in critically ill adults with severe acute kidney injury. Methods In this systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomised trials published from April 1, 2008, to Dec 20, 2019, that compared delayed and early RRT initiation strategies in patients with severe acute kidney injury. Trials were eligible for inclusion …
Biomechanical evaluation of a new treatment method for distal tibia fractures
2015
Distal tibial fractures are often the result of high-energy impacts combined with excessive soft tissue injury. Treatment options include either open reduction and internal fixation usually as a mi...
Laparoscopic Treatment of Intussusception
2021
Most cases of ileocolic intussusception are reduced by imaging-guided air or fluid enema. If unsuccessful, operative intervention is necessary. The laparoscopic approach allows inspection of the bowel, identification of intraabdominal pathology, and achieves reduction of the intussuscepted bowel in most cases. The procedure requires the combination of slow and gradual traction as well as “rolling” the cecum distally. If unsuccessful, the bowel can be delivered through an extended umbilical incision for extracorporeal manipulation, or resection if this should be necessary.
