Baseline NIH Stroke Scale score strongly predicts outcome after stroke: A report of the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST)
Harold P. Adams,Patricia H. Davis,Enrique C. Leira,K.-C. Chang,Birgitte H. Bendixen,W.R. Clarke,Robert F. Woolson,Michael D. Hansen +7 more
TL;DR: The baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score strongly predicts the likelihood of a patient’s recovery after stroke, and only the TOAST subtype of lacunar stroke predicts outcomes independent of the NIHSS score.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hospital-Acquired Candidemia: The Attributable Mortality and Excess Length of Stay
TL;DR: Candida bloodstream infections represented 10% of all nosocomial bloodstream infections in the period studied at the University Hospital; they are associated with a significant medical and economic burden well above that expected of the underlying diseases alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Hospital-Acquired Candidemia: A Matched Case-Control Study
TL;DR: It remains to be shown in controlled clinical trials whether limiting the number of antibiotics or instituting prophylaxis and/or early treatment for high-risk patients will reduce the incidence of nosocomial candidemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study of tacrine for Alzheimer's disease. The Tacrine Collaborative Study Group.

TL;DR: Treatment with tacrine resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the decline of cognitive function, although this reduction was not large enough to be detected by the study physicians' global assessments of the patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
