Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and Outcomes of Contrast-Induced AKI Following Computed Tomography
Steven D. Weisbord,Maria K. Mor,Abby L. Resnick,Kathryn C. Hartwig,Paul M. Palevsky,Michael J. Fine +5 more
TL;DR: Clinically significant CIAKI following nonemergent computed tomography is uncommon among outpatients with mild baseline kidney disease, and these findings have important implications for providers ordering and performing computed tomographic and for future clinical trials of CIAKI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instability on hospital discharge and the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with pneumonia
Ethan A. Halm,Michael J. Fine,Michael J. Fine,Wishwa N. Kapoor,Daniel E. Singer,Thomas J. Marrie,Albert L. Siu +6 more
TL;DR: A simple, usable measure of clinical stability on discharge for patients with community-acquired pneumonia is defined and validated to ensure that efforts to shorten length of stay do not jeopardize patient safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prediction Rule to Identify Low-Risk Patients With 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: This simple prediction rule accurately identifies patients with pulmonary embolism who are at low risk of short-term mortality and other adverse medical outcomes and prospective validation of this rule is important before its implementation as a decision aid for outpatient treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a pneumonia prognostic index using the MedisGroups comparative hospital database
TL;DR: This pneumonia-specific prognostic index, which performs exceptionally well in classifying low-risk patients, may help physicians identify patients with community-acquired pneumonia who could safely be managed in the ambulatory setting, or if hospitalized, the patients that could be treated with abbreviated inpatient care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Mortality after Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there is significantly higher long-term mortality among patients with pneumonia than among age-matched controls and that long- term mortality largely is not affected by acute physiologic derangements.
