Updating and Validating the Charlson Comorbidity Index and Score for Risk Adjustment in Hospital Discharge Abstracts Using Data From 6 Countries

TL;DR: The updated Charlson index of 12 comorbidities showed good-to-excellent discrimination in predicting in-hospital mortality in data from 6 countries and may be more appropriate for use with more recent administrative data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin A supplementation to prevent mortality and short- and long-term morbidity in very low birth weight infants.

TL;DR: Whether clinicians decide to utilise repeat intramuscular doses of vitamin A to prevent chronic lung disease may depend upon the local incidence of this outcome and the value attached to achieving a modest reduction in the outcome balanced against the lack of other proven benefits and the acceptability of the treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

High iron status in very low birth weight infants is associated with an increased risk of retinopathy of prematurity

Journal ArticleDOI
