Frequency, risk factors, and outcomes of hospital readmissions of COVID-19 patients

To determine the proportion of patients with COVID-19 who were readmitted to the hospital and the most common causes and the factors associated with readmission. Multicenter nationwide cohort study in Spain. Patients included in the study were admitted to 147 hospitals from March 1 to April 30, 2020. Readmission was defined as a new hospital admission during the 30 days after discharge. Emergency department visits after discharge were not considered readmission. During the study period 8392 patients were admitted to hospitals participating in the SEMI-COVID-19 network. 298 patients (4.2%) out of 7137 patients were readmitted after being discharged. 1541 (17.7%) died during the index admission and 35 died during hospital readmission (11.7%, p = 0.007). The median time from discharge to readmission was 7 days (IQR 3-15 days). The most frequent causes of hospital readmission were worsening of previous pneumonia (54%), bacterial infection (13%), venous thromboembolism (5%), and heart failure (5%). Age [odds ratio (OR): 1.02; 95% confident interval (95% CI): 1.01-1.03], age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index score (OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.06-1.21), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.26-2.69), asthma (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.04-2.22), hemoglobin level at admission (OR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86-0.99), ground-glass opacification at admission (OR: 0.86; 95% CI:0.76-0.98) and glucocorticoid treatment (OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.00-1.66) were independently associated with hospital readmission. The rate of readmission after hospital discharge for COVID-19 was low. Advanced age and comorbidity were associated with increased risk of readmission

The Catholic Church’s Criticism of Anatole France.

I hope now, by presenting sufficient evidence, to convince the reader, as I have been convinced, that [Anatole] France was from the start, essentially anti-christian. In Chapter I, I wish to show the general pattern of Church criticism from the first attack until the last.Along with this I shall attempt to prove that while France’s philosophical differences existed from the start, it was the frontal attack in 1898 that really started an open battle. I hope to prove further that this battle was enhanced by France’s entry into the Dreyfuss affair in 1898, and that his political career was a major issue in leading to his ultimate censorship. Chapter II shows in some detail the essential idea of Christian asceticism in contrast to France’s hedonistic nature, and demonstrates that France’s temperament is fundamentally incompatible with that of the Church. While in Chapter II I shall treat of the emotional differences between France and the Church, I shall in Chapter III, try to show the rational conflicts between the two and to prove that these, also, resolve into an insoluble meeting of Christian dogma with pagan rationalism, which is in effect, itself a dogmatism of reason. In the latest part of Chapter III, I shall attempt to show that France came into conflict with the church not only though philosophical differences, but also through his direct attacks upon the church. In Chapter IV, I shall show some of the details of France’s political ideas beginning in 1898, and show how he combined his anti-ascetic nature and his rationalism into a dogmatic stand against the Church and Church traditionalism. In spite of his socialistic tendencies during this period, I wish to show that he is rather more of a traditionalist by nature, but that his traditionalism belongs to the ancients rather than to the Christian civilization. Finally, I wish to show, in more detail, just how his activities in politics, though just another part of his frontal attack, caused a showdown between France and the Church, and assured his ultimate condemnation.

Development of a Risk Prediction Model for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infection After Liver Transplantation: A Multinational Cohort Study

Background. Patients colonized with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are at higher risk of developing CRE infection after liver transplantation (LT), with associated high morbidity and mortality. Prediction model for CRE infection after LT among carriers could be useful to target preventive strategies.Methods. Multinational multicenter cohort study of consecutive adult patients underwent LT and colonized with CRE before or after LT, from January 2010 to December 2017. Risk factors for CRE infection were analyzed by univariate analysis and by Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard model, with death as competing event. A nomogram to predict 30- and 60-day CRE infection risk was created.Results. A total of 840 LT recipients found to be colonized with CRE before (n = 203) or after (n = 637) LT were enrolled. CRE infection was diagnosed in 250 (29.7%) patients within 19 (interquartile range [IQR], 9-42) days after LT. Pre- and post-LT colonization, multisite post-LT colonization, prolonged mechanical ventilation, acute renal injury, and surgical reintervention were retained in the prediction model. Median 30- and 60-day predicted risk was 15% (IQR, 11-24) and 21% (IQR, 15-33), respectively. Discrimination and prediction accuracy for CRE infection was acceptable on derivation (area under the curve [AUC], 74.6; Brier index, 16.3) and bootstrapped validation dataset (AUC, 73.9; Brier index, 16.6). Decision-curve analysis suggested net benefit of model-directed intervention over default strategies (treat all, treat none) when CRE infection probability exceeded 10%. The risk prediction model is freely available as mobile application at https://idbologna.shinyapps.io/CREPostOLTPredictionModel/.Conclusions. Our clinical prediction tool could enable better targeting interventions for CRE infection after transplant
