Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

COVID-19; mortality summary = OBJECTIVE: To examine whether HbA(1c), outpatient diabetes treatment regimen, demographics, and clinical characteristics are associated with mortality in hospitalized patients with diabetes and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). CONCLUSIONS: In this large U.S. cohort of hospitalized patients with diabetes and COVID-19, insulin treatment, as a possible proxy for diabetes duration, and obesity rather than long-term glycemic control were predictive of mortality. Few studies have specifically examined the effect of preadmission glycemic control in patients with diabetes and risk of in-hospital mortality from COVID-19, despite having great implications for outpatient glycemic management during the pandemic. The goal of this study was to use a U.S. cohort to examine the association of outpatient glycemic control, diabetes treatment, and other characteristics with mortality among hospitalized patients with diabetes and COVID-19. We investigated whether HbA 1c levels, outpatient diabetes treatment, and other characteristics were associated with in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19 and preexisting diabetes. doi = 10.2337/dc20-1543 id = cord-273283-gb0m6fue author = Altschul, David J. title = A novel severity score to predict inpatient mortality in COVID-19 patients date = 2020-10-07 keywords = COVID-19; mortality; patient summary = doi = 10.1038/s41598-020-73962-9 id = cord-280348-vrnxucye author = Argano, Christiano title = Pattern of comorbidities and 1-year mortality in elderly patients with COPD hospitalized in internal medicine wards: data from the RePoSI Registry date = 2020-07-27 keywords = COPD; disease; mortality; patient summary = Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents an important leading cause of morbidity and mortality with high economic and social costs: according to the WHO, COPD is the fourth most common cause of death worldwide, and it is estimated to be the third by 2020; furthermore, the global burden of COPD is expected to increase in the coming years, due to the prevalence of smoking and aging of the world population [1] . The following clinical characteristics were evaluated: respiratory and non-respiratory disease distribution at hospital admission (according to International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision); cognitive status and mood disorders (by the Short-Blessed-Test [SBT] [9] and the Geriatric-Depression-Scale [GDS] [10] ,respectively; performance in activities of daily living at hospital admission (measured by means of the Barthel Index [BI] [11] ; severity and comorbidity index(assessed by the Cumulative-Illness-Rating-Scale CIRS-s and CIRS-c, respectively) [12] , glomerular filtration rate (using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration-formula [13] ), length of hospital stay, drugs prescriptions (at admission, discharge, at 3 and 12 months follow-up), destination at discharge, in-hospital and 3-month and 1-year mortality rate. doi = 10.1007/s11739-020-02412-1 id = cord-299613-5ju5fcf4 author = Arthi, Vellore title = Disease, downturns, and wellbeing: Economic history and the long-run impacts of COVID-19 date = 2020-11-03 keywords = COVID-19; Depression; Great; Influenza; U.S.; economic; effect; health; mortality; pandemic summary = In this paper, we review the evidence on the long-run effects on health, labor, and human capital of both historical pandemics (with a focus on the 1918 Influenza Pandemic) and historical recessions (with a focus on the Great Depression). Thus, a historical perspective allows us to use rich data to look at not only the short-term effects of crises like COVID-19 on health, labor, and human capital, but also the long-term and intergenerational impacts along these dimensions for both individuals and the wider economy. To examine how history can inform our view of the coronavirus pandemic and associated policy responses as they relate to long-run wellbeing, we begin in Section II by reviewing the features of COVID-19 that will determine its potential health and economic impacts, and placing these features in historical context. doi = 10.1016/j.eeh.2020.101381 id = cord-284332-p4c1fneh author = Bosma, Karen J. title = Pharmacotherapy for Prevention and Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Current and Experimental Approaches date = 2012-09-19 keywords = ALI; ARDS; acute; lung; mortality; patient; respiratory; study summary = doi = 10.2165/10898570-000000000-00000 id = cord-284786-pua14ogz author = Coker, Eric S. title = The Effects of Air Pollution on COVID-19 Related Mortality in Northern Italy date = 2020-08-04 keywords = Italy; covid-19; death; mortality summary = doi = 10.1007/s10640-020-00486-1 id = cord-352685-0ie6tkgm author = Coleman, T.

Moreover, excess mortality rates were highest in northern Arizona counties, where Native Americans were historically concentrated, suggesting a link between ethnic and/or sociodemographic factors and risk of pandemic-related death. We also analyzed 21,334 individual birth certificates to quantify the impact of the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic on natality fluctuations in Maricopa county, the most populous county in Arizona state. Likewise, our results suggest that northern counties in Arizona with high Native American population density (e.g., Apache, Coconino, and Navajo) experienced higher excess pandemic death rates compared with other counties in the state. doi = 10.1093/aje/kwy146 id = cord-013338-0jlxuksk author = Duong, William title = An increasing trend in geriatric trauma patients undergoing surgical stabilization of rib fractures date = 2020-10-23 keywords = SSRF; mortality summary = doi = 10.1007/s00068-020-01526-7 id = cord-018834-4ligp4ak author = Farag, Ehab title = The Perioperative Use of Albumin date = 2016-06-23 keywords = HSA; albumin; human; mortality; patient; s1p summary = doi = 10.1007/978-3-319-39141-0_9 id = cord-294645-yzh8h7zo author = Freeman, David W. title = Association between GDF15, poverty and mortality in urban middle-aged African American and white adults date = 2020-08-07 keywords = GDF15; cause; mortality; poverty summary = Multivariable adjusted Cox regression models were used to assess the association between log-transformed GDF15 (logGDF15) and 12-year mortality outcomes (all-cause, cardiovascularand cancer-specific outcomes) and interactions with sex, race and poverty status. The objectives of the present study were to assess the association between serum GDF15 and all-cause and cause-specific mortality, and to identify interactions between GDF15 and sex, race and poverty status in a large cohort of community-based middle-aged adults recruited from Baltimore, Maryland. In a community-dwelling cohort of younger urban adults (mean age 49.6) with diverse racial and socioeconomic status, we found that elevated serum GDF15 level was strongly associated with all-cause mortality, CVD-and cancer-specific mortality risk. Our findings of increased risk of mortality due to all-causes and CVD and elevated GDF15 levels in a diverse cohort are consistent with results of previous studies conducted in apparently healthy, community-dwelling adults [12-15, 17, 18] . doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0237059 id = cord-305936-tdswzj7r author = Freitas, André Ricardo Ribas title = Excess of Mortality in Adults and Elderly and Circulation of Subtypes of Influenza Virus in Southern Brazil date = 2018-01-08 keywords = Brazil; influenza; mortality summary = Despite not controlling for comorbidities, climate, and vaccination, for the >70 years, ratio of respiratory diseases excess mortality rates between AH1N1 (2009) and severe year of H3N2 (2007) shows protection in the pandemic year and great vulnerability during AH3N2 virus predominance. We analyzed particularly the most predominant variants (AH1N1 and AH3N2) on excess of mortality in the adults and elderly of different age groups in a region with marked seasonality of respiratory diseases in Brazil. Among adults (24-59 years), we observe a large excess of deaths rates during the 2009 pandemic (953 obits), which correspond to 7.1 excess deaths from all causes, and 99 excess mortality from respiratory diseases associated with viral infection in every 100,000 individuals of the age group. Although the elderly are the most vulnerable group to viral respiratory infections, we found relative small excess of deaths in years of circulating AH1N1 pre pandemic (2002 and 2008) . doi = 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01903 id = cord-261377-m5djp8mh author = Grech, Victor title = COVID-19 and potential global mortality - Revisited date = 2020-04-30 keywords = mortality summary = title: COVID-19 and potential global mortality Revisited (1) In a previous paper,(2) this author attempted to assess potential COVID-19 continent-based mortality based on initial WHO data from China which estimated that 14% of infected cases are severe and require hospitalisation, 5% of infected cases are very severe and require intensive care admission, mostly for ventilation, and 4% of infected die. For this reason, the table in the initial paper showing continent and global estimates (2) has been recalculated with a correction factor, an estimated 10% symptomatic proportion of infected individuals. Clearly, this pandemic has the potential to be as severe in terms of mortality as the influenza pandemic of 1918 which killed more than 50 million people and caused more than 500 million infections worldwide.(5) The conclusions of the previous paper stand.

Although data on the level and availability of secondary prevention at the country level would be essential for planning and targeting national health system policies that can decrease premature CVD mortality and morbidity, only a few studies have been published on the link between the utilization of antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants (hereafter antithrombotic agents) for preventive purposes and socioeconomic status. Since physicians in general practice play a major role in initiating, coordinating, and providing long-term follow-up for the prevention of non-communicable diseases [23] , our study examined the prescription and redemption rates of the most common oral antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants prescribed for thrombosis prevention from all general practices and defined their relationships with socioeconomic status in Hungary. doi = 10.3390/ijerph17186855 id = cord-014538-6a2pviol author = Kamilia, Chtara title = Proceedings of Réanimation 2017, the French Intensive Care Society International Congress date = 2017-01-10 keywords = ARDS; Antoine; Ben; Care; ECMO; EEG; Fig; France; François; ICU; Intensive; January; Jean; Mohamed; NIV; Nicolas; Pierre; VAP; acute; associate; day; group; high; mortality; patient; study summary = Other parameters that were significantly different between the patients who died and those who survived were an advanced age, an elevated IGS II score at hospital admission, an elevated SOFA score at study entry, a late healthcare-associated infection and several biological variables: a high C reactive protein, low albumin and prealbumin and a poor percent of monocytes expressing HLA-DR, all measured at day 7.

In South Africa, in particular, tracking the mortality of young people using systems at the local level helped monitor the effectiveness of HIV programmes. 20 Hopefully, this step will improve patient outcomes by incentivising effective interventions for advanced HIV disease and support for people who have stopped treatment to re-enter care. 17 Third, we can move towards a variety of outcomeoriented global health programmes beyond HIV, for which measures of success move from the number of patients receiving services to explicit reductions in mortality rates. doi = 10.1016/s0140-6736(20)31046-1 id = cord-015651-yhi83hgq author = Kovács, Katalin title = Social Disparities in the Evolution of an Epidemiological Profile: Transition Processes in Mortality Between 1971 and 2008 in an Industrialized Middle Income Country: The Case of Hungary date = 2014-03-25 keywords = cause; death; disease; epidemiological; mortality; transition summary = One of main conclusions has been that they have not so far undergone the healthier life style changes that have occurred in Western Europe, and this has resulted in a "reversed epidemiological transition", in which an elevated burden of cardiovascular diseases dominates the pattern of mortality (Vallin and Meslé 2004) . In this paper I shall review recent developments in epidemiological transition theory, and test the applicability of some of these theories to the evolution of cause-and education-specific mortality inequalities in Hungary between 1971 and 2008. Omran, starting from his very first publication, continuously mentioned social disparities in mortality as well as the driving forces listed above but he did not provide a theoretical framework for the application of these in connection with particular mortality or disease patterns specific for single countries or population sub-groups. doi = 10.1007/978-3-319-03029-6_4 id = cord-290295-gl144dh9 author = Martínez-López, Joaquín title = Multiple myeloma and SARS-CoV-2 infection: clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of inpatient mortality date = 2020-10-19 keywords = COVID-19; mortality; patient summary = Among MM patients, inpatient mortality was 41% in males, 42% in patients aged >65 years, 49% in patients with active/progressive MM at hospitalization, and 59% in patients with comorbid renal disease at hospitalization, which were independent prognostic factors on adjusted multivariate analysis. There are cumulative data indicating that patients with cancer may be at increased risk for more severe COVID-19 and associated complications, including those receiving or not receiving treatment within the month prior to infection 5, 6 , although other recent results suggest mortality may be primarily associated with age, male sex, and comorbidities 7 . To our knowledge, this is the first large case-series study to describe comprehensively the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in hospitalized MM patients, compare outcomes with a noncancer cohort of COVID-19 patients, and identify preadmission prognostic factors of inpatient mortality. doi = 10.1038/s41408-020-00372-5 id = cord-027259-f4sgobcz author = Metsker, Oleg title = Stroke ICU Patient Mortality Day Prediction date = 2020-05-23 keywords = day; mortality; patient; stroke summary = On the basis of the analysis of 12 modern prognostic models from 10 countries we can identify some of the most stable (main) predictors for the causes of intra-hospital mortality: age [16, [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] ; type of stroke [25] ; lesion location [25] ; level of consciousness [11, 20, 23, 25, 26] upon admission; NIHSS stroke severity [10, 21, 22, 24] ; comorbidity [22, 27] , Charlson comorbidity index [23] , Atrial fibrillation [11, 22] , case history Transitor ischemic attack (TIA) [31]; hospital complications (high intracranial pressure) [16] , pneumonia, seizures, anxiety/depression, infections, limb pains and constipation [22, 27] .

We considered the 3-year average influenza (2014–2016) and COVID-19 (31 May 2020) crude mortality rates in 34 countries using EUROSTAT and ECDC databases and performed correlation and regression analyses. An apparently perplexing characteristic of the reported association between the two mortality rates was that while influenza virus circulation during the seasons considered in the present analysis was uncontrolled, SARS-CoV-2 circulation was probably limited by the widespread exceptional public health measures implemented in Europe [32] . This study reported an inverse association between number of hospital beds and mortality rates (Table 2) , thus showing that high influenza and COVID-19 mortality was also due to inefficiencies of the healthcare systems, and corroborated by data from several European countries [45] . doi = 10.1017/s0950268820002125 id = cord-306205-l42w2jyk author = Ransome, Yusuf title = Is investing in religious institutions a viable pathway to reduce mortality in the population? date = 2020-06-08 keywords = mortality; religion; religious summary = The religious ecology or characteristics of religion within an area or geographic level (e.g., county, ZIP-code, country), has been linked with overall and cause-specific mortality, but directions of findings are mixed.

In adults aged 60 and above, all-cause mortality rates are the highest in the dry and cold season, due to peaks in cardiovascular diseases, with little change over time. Considering children aged 1 to 5, seasonality of mortality associated with these two broad causes of death (the group of diarrhea, lower respiratory, and other common infectious diseases, and the group of nutritional deficiencies) also exhibit this pattern but with a larger amplitude. In infants, the seasonality of deaths is dominated by the association between hot temperatures and rainfall, and two groups of causes: (1) diarrhea, lower respiratory, and other common infectious diseases, and (2) nutritional deficiencies. doi = 10.1080/16549716.2020.1717411 id = cord-014464-m5n250r2 author = Sole-Violan, J title = Lethal influenza virus A H1N1 infection in two relatives with autosomal dominant GATA-2 deficiency date = 2013-03-19 keywords = AKI; APACHE; ARDS; Care; ICU; IL-6; Introduction; RBC; TBI; day; figure; group; hour; method; mortality; outcome; patient; peep; result; signifi; sofa; study summary = Results In preliminary analysis of categorical data, a signifi cantly (Fisher exact test) greater proportion of patients with compared with without the following fi ndings did not survive; history of alcohol use (P = 0.05); the presence of lethargy (P = 0.01), confusion (P = 0.03), nausea (P = 0.04), abdominal pain (P = 0.02), or the need for vasopressors (P = 0.002), oxygen, mechanical ventilation, or steroids (all P = 0.004) at presentation; and excessive bleeding at surgery (P = 0.01).

We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to establish predictors of in-hospital mortality among patients with pulmonary TB. Eligible trials met the following criteria 1 : cohort or case-control design 2 ; explored risk factors for in-hospital mortality among patients with pulmonary TB in an adjusted analysis. This systematic review and meta-analysis is expected to serve as a basis for evidence to reduce in-hospital mortality in TB patients, and as a guide for future research based on identified knowledge gaps.

Sepsis and septic shock remain the most important causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients and account for more than 50% of cases of acute renal failure (ARF) in intensive care units (ICU). There were no significant differences between the demographic data (sex, age) or the data on admission to intensive care (APACHE II score, ratio of medical to surgical patients) and duration of mechanical ventilation between the two groups. doi = 10.1007/s00134-009-1593-2 id = cord-015082-l629n8is author = nan title = Poster Sessions 323-461 date = 2002-08-29 keywords = ICU; IL-10; LPS; conclusion; group; increase; level; method; mortality; patient; result; sepsis; study summary = 14 patients awaiting urgent cardiac surgical re-vascularisation were studied with measurement of: spirometry; percentage increase in transfer factor from sitting to lying position (TF) as an indicator of micro-vascular lung disease; overnight oximetry on air; and 24hour holter monitoring Patients, who were reintubated on decreased indices of arterial oxygenation under MOSF progressing died in 100% cases ( NIMV is effective method in complex therapy of ARF, developing in postoperative period after cardiac surgery, that leads to significant improvement of lungs biomechanics and gases change function.

We propose to determine whether the arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) at intensive care unit (ICU) admission affects mortality at day 28 (D28) in patients with septic shock subjected to mechanical out-of-hospital ventilation. Conclusion: In this study, we report a significant association between hyperoxemia at ICU admission and mortality at D28 in patients with septic shock subjected to pre-hospital invasive mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to describe outcome of pediatric patient with hematologic disease hospitalized in our intensive care unit for respiratory failure and to investigate the clinical variables associated with mortality. doi = 10.1186/s13613-017-0345-7 id = cord-341063-3rqnu5bu author = nan title = 38th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine: Brussels, Belgium. 20-23 March 2018 date = 2018-03-29 keywords = AKI; APACHE; ARDS; Care; Critical; Fig; Hospital; ICU; IQR; IVC; Intensive; LOS; TBI; University; VAP; conclusion; day; group; high; introduction; method; mortality; patient; peep; result; score; sofa; study; table summary = Procacitonin (PCT) emerges as a possible predictive tool in cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU).We aim at testing the predictive power of PCT for early morbidity, prolonged ventilation, ICU and hospital stay, in patients developing early fever after cardiac surgery Methods: A retrospective descriptive study done in tertiary cardiac center, enrolling patients who stayed for more than 24 hours post-operatively in the CTICU Risk stratification included additive Euro score and PCT immunoluminometricaly prior to surgery and every 48 hours in response to onset of fever. Prognostic accuracy of quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score for mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis Introduction: The purpose of this study was to summarize the evidence assessing the qSOFA [1] , calculated in admission of the patient in emergency department (ED) or intensive care unit (ICU), as a predictor of mortality. doi = 10.1186/s13054-018-1973-5 id = cord-355038-o2hr5mox author = nan title = Proceedings of Réanimation 2020, the French Intensive Care Society International Congress date = 2020-02-11 keywords = AKI; ARDS; CHU; COPD; Care; Correspondence; December; ECMO; Fig; France; Hospital; ICU; IQR; January; NIV; PICU; VAP; day; french; group; high; invitation; method; mortality; patient; rationale; result; sofa; study summary = Conclusion: In patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS, a higher tidal volume under PSV within the 72 h following neuromuscular blockers cessation is independently associated with the 28-day mortality.Compliance with ethics regulations: Yes. Kaplan-Meier estimate of the cumulative probability of survival according to the mean tidal volume (Vt)-lower of higher than 8 ml/ kg-under pressure support ventilation (PSV) during the "transition period" transfusion is associated with adverse events, and equipoise remains on the optimal transfusion strategy in oncologic patients in surgical setting. Compliance with ethics regulations: Yes. Patients and methods: In a retrospective monocentric study (01/2013-01/2017) conducted in cardio-vascular surgical intensive care unit (ICU) in Henri Mondor teaching hospital, all consecutive adult patients who underwent peripheral VA-ECMO were included, with exclusion of those dying in the first 24 h. Compliance with ethics regulations: Yes. Rationale: Acute respiratory failure is the leading reason for intensive care unit (ICU) admission in immunocompromised patients and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation has become a major clinical end-point in randomized controlled trials (RCT). doi = 10.1186/s13613-020-0623-7
