Patients with undernutrition at admission have higher risks to worsen their nutritional status, which is linked to an increase in morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the prevalence of undernutrition at admission and its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients aged 18 to 59 years old in Internal Medicine ward at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, between July and September 2019. Factors that might be associated with undernutrition at admission, such as age, sex, marital status, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and type of comorbidity, depression, and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were assessed. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the associated factors. Sixty hospitalized patients with median age of 42 years and 76.7% with married status joined the study. The most common reason for hospitalization was acute gastrointestinal disease with gallstones as the most common comorbidity. Undernutrition exists in 26.7% of subjects. High CCI score was observed among 11.7% subjects and half of subjects had NLR category ≥5. Bivariate analysis revealed that unmarried status, age ≥40 years, and malignancy were associated with undernutrition at admission. Logistic regression analysis showed malignancy as an independent predictor of undernutrition during the initial hospital admission (odds ratio [OR] = 11.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.1, 125.7]). The prevalence of undernutrition at admission was 26.7%. Factors associated with an increased prevalence of undernutrition at admission were age <40 years, unmarried status, and malignancy. Malignancy was an independent factor of the prevalence of undernutrition at admission.

Falls from heights accounted for 20% of accidental deaths of children in New York City during 1966, and 67% of the children were under 5 years of age. A retrospective study of falls involving more than 10 feet during 1966 to 1968 at a single Bronx hospital affiliation disclosed that 55 children were hospitalized from this cause. Five of these hospitalized patients died, and two were found to have significant residua. This retrospective study of hospitalized patients indicates that falls from heights were a health hazard mainly for preschool males during the warmer summer months in the high rise slums of the south Bronx. Preschool children fell exclusively from windows and fire escapes, with little regard for height. Older children fell from dangerous play areas of lesser height. The need for routine installation of effective window guards is obvious.

Background: Pyelonephritis is a urinary tract infection that ascends to involve the kidneys. It can also occur as an infection secondary to bacteremia. Some pathogens that commonly cause pyelonephritis are E. coli, enterobacteriaceae, staphylococci, and pseudomonas. The initial patient presentation usually involves fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, costovertebral angle tenderness, and flank pain. Other cystitis symptoms such as dysuria, increased urinary frequency, malodorous urine, and hematuria may or may not be present. Symptoms of pyelonephritis with bacteriuria are sufficient for the diagnosis of pyelonephritis. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate a potential link between Type II Diabetes Mellitus and pyelonephritis. Methods: In this retrospective study, hospitalized patients during the study period were reviewed. Variables examined were sex, age, and length of stay. Patients were excluded if they had known urogenital abnormalities, indwelling catheters (Foley, nephrostomy, suprapubic, or who regularly perform clean intermittent catheterization), were pregnant, or were on dialysis. Results: Of 333 patients analyzed, diabetics had a longer length of stay then non-diabetics (4.49 vs 3.67 days respectively; p=0.0041) and females were significantly younger than men in hospitalized patients for pyelonephritis were (50.0 vs 63.5 years; p=<0.0001). Further, it was found that diabetics were significantly older than nondiabetics were (60.4 vs 47.3; p=<0.0001) and more diabetics getting admitted with pyelonephritis were men vs women (59.32% vs 35.27%; p=0.0007). Conclusion: Results of the study were significant in showing that of all pyelonephritis-hospitalized patients on average the length of stay was longer for diabetics and it demonstrated that female patients with pyelonephritis are significantly younger than male patients hospitalized with pyelonephritis. Of note, there was no significant difference in the length of stay for diabetic patients based on their treatment modality (diet controlled vs. oral medications vs. insulin dependent vs. combined). The study also showed that diabetics getting admitted for pyelonephritis are more men and older in age compared to the nondiabetics.

Meta Analyses

The goal of this study was to better depict the short-term risk of stroke and its associated factors among SARS-CoV-2 hospitalized patients. Data Source: This multicenter, multinational observational study includes hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients from North and South America (United States, Canada, and Brazil), Europe (Greece, Italy, Finland, and Turkey), Asia (Lebanon, Iran, and India), and Oceania (New Zealand). Main Outcomes and Measures: The outcome was the risk of subsequent stroke (ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral venous/sinus thrombosis). The counts and clinical characteristics including laboratory findings and imaging of the patients with and without a subsequent stroke were recorded according to a predefined study protocol. Data Extraction and Synthesis: Quality, risk of bias, and heterogeneity assessments were conducted according to ROBINS-E and Cochrane Q-test. The risk of subsequent stroke was estimated through meta-analyses with random effect models. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the associated factors with the outcome measure. The study was reported according to the STROBE, MOOSE, and EQUATOR guidelines. Results: We received data from 18,311 hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients from 77 tertiary centers in 46 regions of 11 countries until May 1 st , 2020. A total of 17,799 patients were included in meta-analyses. Among them, 156(0.9%) patients had a stroke—123(79%) ischemic stroke, 27(17%) intracerebral/subarachnoid hemorrhage, and 6(4%) cerebral sinus thrombosis. Subsequent stroke risks calculated with meta-analyses, under low to moderate heterogeneity, were 0.5% among all centers in all countries, and 0.7% among countries with higher health expenditures. The need for mechanical ventilation (OR: 1.9, 95% CI:1.1-3.5, p = 0.03) and the presence of ischemic heart disease (OR: 2.5, 95% CI:1.4-4.7, p =0·006) were predictive of stroke. Conclusion and Relevance: The results of this multi-national study on hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection indicated an overall stroke risk of 0.5% (pooled risk: 0.9%). The need for mechanical ventilation and the history of ischemic heart disease are the independent predictors of stroke among SARS-CoV-2 patients.

Objective.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anakinra in inpatient management of acute gout and pseudogout.Methods.Hospitalized patients with acute gout (n = 77) or pseudogout (n = 11) or both (n = 3) were analyzed for response to anakinra and adverse effects.Results.Half of all patients had comorbidities limiting the treatment choice. Anakinra was well tolerated, and 92% of gout flares and 79% of pseudogout flares responded to treatment.Conclusion.Anakinra is an effective and safe treatment for acute gout and pseudogout in hospitalized patients, particularly in those with comorbidities.
