Journal ArticleDOI
Derivation and Validation of a Prognostic Model for Pulmonary Embolism
Drahomir Aujesky,D. Scott Obrosky,Roslyn A. Stone,Thomas E. Auble,Arnaud Perrier,Jacques Cornuz,Pierre-Marie Roy,Michael J. Fine +7 more
TL;DR: The prediction rule is based on 11 simple patient characteristics that were independently associated with mortality and stratifies patients with pulmonary embolism into five severity classes, with 30-day mortality rates of 0-1.6%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time to Clinical Stability in Patients Hospitalized With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Implications for Practice Guidelines
Ethan A. Halm,Michael J. Fine,Thomas J. Marrie,Christopher M. Coley,Wishwa N. Kapoor,D. Scott Obrosky,Daniel E. Singer +6 more
TL;DR: Estimates of time to stability in pneumonia and explicit criteria for defining stability can provide an evidence-based estimate of optimal length of stay, and outline a clinically sensible approach to improving the efficiency of inpatient management are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Veterans Affairs Initiative to Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections
Rajiv Jain,Stephen M. Kralovic,Martin E. Evans,Meredith Ambrose,Loretta A. Simbartl,D. Scott Obrosky,Marta L. Render,Ron W. Freyberg,John A. Jernigan,Robert R. Muder,LaToya J. Miller,Gary A. Roselle +11 more
TL;DR: A program of universal surveillance, contact precautions, hand hygiene, and institutional culture change was associated with a decrease in health care-associated transmissions of and infections with MRSA in a large health care system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of death for patients with community-acquired pneumonia: results from the Pneumonia Patient Outcomes Research Team cohort study.
Eric M. Mortensen,Christopher M. Coley,Daniel E. Singer,Thomas J. Marrie,D. Scott Obrosky,Wishwa N. Kapoor,Michael J. Fine,Michael J. Fine +7 more
TL;DR: Differences in the timing of death and risk factors for mortality suggest that future studies of community-acquired pneumonia should differentiate all-cause and pneumonia-related mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective comparison of three validated prediction rules for prognosis in community-acquired pneumonia.
Drahomir Aujesky,Thomas E. Auble,Donald M. Yealy,Roslyn A. Stone,D. Scott Obrosky,Thomas P. Meehan,Louis Graff,Jonathan M. Fine,Michael J. Fine +8 more
TL;DR: The more complex Pneumonia Severity Index has a higher discriminatory power for short-term mortality, defines a greater proportion of patients atLow risk, and is slightly more accurate in identifying patients at low risk than either CURB score.
