A Scoring System to Predict Readmission of Patients With Acute Pancreatitis to the Hospital Within Thirty Days of Discharge
Tom L. Whitlock,April S. Tignor,Emily M. Webster,Kathryn Repas,Darwin L. Conwell,Peter A. Banks,Bechien U. Wu +6 more
TL;DR: A scoring system is created that accurately predicts which patients with AP have high and low risk of readmission within 30 days of discharge, and stratifies patients into groups of low, moderate, and high risk for early readmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

James Buxbaum,Michael Quezada,Bradford Chong,Nikhil Gupta,Chung Yao Yu,Christianne J. Lane,Ben L. Da,Kenneth Leung,Ira A. Shulman,Stephen J. Pandol,Bechien U. Wu +10 more
TL;DR: The ability of the PASS score to forecast important clinical events at different points in the disease course suggests that it is a valid measure of activity in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic markers of malignant transformation in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between specific genetic alterations and malignant transformation in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Hemoconcentration Predicts Increased Mortality Only among Transferred Patients with Acute Pancreatitis
TL;DR: Findings may help explain discordant results from prior studies of hemoconcentration in AP and predicted increased risk of mortality only among transferred cases despite similar levels of initial disease severity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disparities in emergency department wait times for acute gastrointestinal illnesses: results from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, 1997-2006.
TL;DR: A significant proportion of visits to US EDs for acute gastrointestinal illnesses are associated with a delay in initial clinical assessment, and future policies should be directed at reducing delays in physician assessment and addressing this healthcare disparity.
