This study evaluated the hospital course for neonates and older infants with a diagnosis of laryngomalacia (LM). Data came from the 2016 Kids’ Inpatient Database of the Healthcare Cost Utilization Project. A total of 6537 children aged <1 year with a diagnosis of LM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, code Q31.5) were identified: 2212 neonates and 4325 non-neonates. Neonates had a higher mortality rate, 1.31% versus 0.72% in older infants, had more diagnoses (median 9 vs 7) and procedures (mean 85.24 vs 21.83), longer length of stay (median 10 vs 4 days), and higher total charges (median US$65 722 vs US$25 582). A total of 23.3% of neonates born during the admission and diagnosed with LM had undergone laryngoscopy. Second airway lesions were present in 12.33% of neonates and 15.77% of older infants. It appears that neonates are being discharged with a diagnosis of LM without laryngoscopy. Neonatal intensive care unit and newborn nursery policies should require visualization of the larynx prior to diagnosis of LM.

Background: In Brazil, about 9 thousand people die annually from nervous system (NS) diseases and its complications. Additionally, the neuropathology mortality rate (MR) is in eighth place, when considering the 21 chapters of the International Classification of Diseases. Objectives: To analyze the MRs of neurological disorders in the 5 regions of Brazil and to identify where professional training or increased investment may be necessary. Methods: Epidemiological study, whose statistics were taken from the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System (DATASUS). Results: The following MRs due to diseases of the NS were found for each region, in decreasing order: North (6.21%); Southeast (4.98%); Northeast (4.77%); South (3.96%); Midwest (3.93%). Also, the national average is expressed by a rate of 4.68%. It was also possible to observe that states in the same region have similar MRs, with some exceptions. Furthermore, the states with the highest MRs are Amazonas (9.42%); Acre (8.94%) and Rio de Janeiro (7.58%). Also, it was possible to notice that the states with the highest mortality, were those that invested less in patients with neurological disorders. However, the monetary factor is not the only determining aspect, since in some places that have similar investments, it is possible to identify a high difference between the MRs. Conclusions: Therefore, Brazil presents differences between the MRs due to diseases of the NS according to each region. It is evident that investments are fundamental, since states that invest less are, for the most part, those with the highest MRs.

Sarcoidosis-related mortality appears to be rising in North America, with increasing rates in females and the elderly. We aimed to estimate trends in sarcoidosis incidence, prevalence and mortality in Ontario, Canada.We performed a cohort study using health administrative data from Ontario between 1996 and 2015. International Classification of Diseases and Ontario Health Insurance Plan codes were used for case detection. Three disease definitions were created: 1) sarcoidosis, two or more physician claims within 2 years; 2) chronic sarcoidosis, five or more physician claims within 3 years; and 3) sarcoidosis with histology, two or more physician claims with a tissue biopsy performed between claims.Overall, 18 550, 9199 and 3819 individuals with sarcoidosis, chronic sarcoidosis and sarcoidosis with histology, respectively, were identified. The prevalence of sarcoidosis was 143 per 100 000 in 2015, increasing by 116% (p<0.0001) from 1996. The increase in age-adjusted prevalence was higher in males than females (136% versus 99%; p<0.0001). The incidence of sarcoidosis declined from 7.9 to 6.8 per 100 000 between 1996 and 2014 (15% decrease; p=0.0009). A 30.3% decrease in incidence was seen among females (p<0.0001) compared with a 5.5% increase in males (p=0.47). Age- and sex-adjusted mortality rates of patients with sarcoidosis rose from 1.15% to 1.47% between 1996 and 2015 (28% increase; p=0.02), with the overall trend being nonsignificant (p=0.39). Mortality rates in patients with chronic sarcoidosis increased significantly over the study period (p=0.0008).The prevalence of sarcoidosis is rising in Ontario, with an apparent shifting trend in disease burden from females to males. Mortality is increasing in patients with chronic sarcoidosis.

Introduction: The geriatric population represents over half of the patients who receive permanent pacemakers (PPM). There are complications associated with the use of PPM in the elderly. Hypothesis: There is limited data on the use of PPM in the elderly population. We aimed to analyze complications and trends associated with various PPM device implantations in the geriatric population over the age of 80. Methods: We used the National Inpatient Sample Database for the years 2010 to 2014 using the International Classification of Diseases-9 procedure code for PPM Implantation and diagnosis codes for complications associated with pacemaker use in patients above the age of 80 years. Results: We identified a total of 265,001 hospitalizations from 2010 to 2014 where patients above the age of 80 years received PPM implantation. Among those who received the PPM, 68 % of patients had Sinus Node Dysfunction (SND) and in-hospital mortality associated with PPM implantation of 1.8%. The majority of this cohort consisted of Caucasians (83%) and males (50%). They had a mean length of stay of 4.4±4.2 (mean ± SD) days. Various types of pacemakers implanted included dual chamber (72 %), single chamber (15 %), and biventricular (13 %). Complications associated with PPM implantation were venous thromboembolism (1%), cardiac tamponade (0.2%), sepsis and severe sepsis (1.1%), septic shock (0.3%), pneumothorax (0.2%), pacemaker hematoma (1.4%). Conclusion: As observed in our study, dual chamber pacemaker is the most commonly used implantable device in age 80+ geriatric patient population. This study identified a variety of PPM-related complications, of which pacemaker hematoma was the most common. Although there are associated complications with the use of this device, the benefits outweigh the risks as age should not be considered a barrier to receive a PPM.

Resumen: En este artículo se reflexiona sobre el feminicidio, enfocando especialmente aspectos histórico-socioculturales y políticos, que desde varias teorías feministas han permitido fundamentar y construir dicho concepto; por lo que también se referencian algunas deliberaciones teóricas sobre las violencias contra las mujeres. Igualmente, se presenta una clasificación del feminicidio, las tipologías que se han manifestado en distintos contextos (principalmente Latinoamérica), y sus alcances a nivel mundial y nacional. Se aborda también una discusión sobre la importancia de incluir el femicidio-feminicidio en la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades/CIE-10 y algunos de sus determinantes sociales. Finalmente, se exponen políticas públicas nacionales que promueven la reducción de la magnitud del feminicidio; hecho que resulta significativo para evidenciar éste como un problema social y de Salud Pública en Colombia.Palabras claves: feminicidio, teorías feministas, violencias contra las mujeres, salud pública.Femicide: A Social and Public Health ProblemAbstract: This paper reflects on femicide, focusing especially on historical, cultural and political aspects, from various feminist theories that serve as foundation for the concept; some theoretical deliberations on violence against women are included. Likewise, it presents a classification of femicide, typologies of this crime which have appeared in different contexts (mainly Latin America), and their scope at the global and national levels. Similarly, the paper discusses the importance of including femicide in the International Classification of Diseases/ICD-10 and some of their determinants. Finally, it discusses national policies that promote the reduction of the magnitude of femicide to show the significance of highlighting this as a social and public health problem in Colombia.Key Words: Femicide, feminist theories, violence against women, public health.

Cocaine-related deaths have increased since the early 1990s in Europe, including the UK. Being multi-factorial, they are difficult to define, detect and record. The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction commissioned research to: describe trends reported to Special Mortality Registries and General Mortality Registers; provide demographic and drug-use characteristic information of cases; and establish how deaths are identified and classified. A questionnaire was developed and piloted amongst all European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction Focal Point experts/Special Mortality Registries: 19 (63%) responded; nine countries provided aggregated data. UK General Mortality Registers use cause of death and toxicology to identify cocaine-related deaths. Categorisation is based on International Classification of Diseases codes. Special Mortality Registries use toxicology, autopsy, evidence and cause of death. The cocaine metabolites commonly screened for are: benzoylecgonine, ecgonine methyl ester, cocaethylene and ecgonine. The 2000s saw a generally accelerating upward trend in cases, followed by a decline in 2009. The UK recorded 2700–2900 deaths during 1998–2012. UK Special Mortality Registry data (2005–2009) indicate: 25–44 year-olds account for 74% of deaths; mean age=34 (range 15–81) years; 84% male. Cocaine overdoses account for two-thirds of cases; cocaine alone being mentioned/implicated in 23% in the UK. Opioids are involved in most (58%) cocaine overdose cases.

Underlying Cause Of Death

INTRODUCTION: The correct identification of the underlying cause of death and its precise assignment to a code from the International Classification of Diseases are important issues to achieve accurate and universally comparable mortality statistics These factors, among other ones, led to the development of computer software programs in order to automatically identify the underlying cause of death. OBJECTIVE: This work was conceived to compare the underlying causes of death processed respectively by the Automated Classification of Medical Entities (ACME) and the "Sistema de Seleção de Causa Básica de Morte" (SCB) programs. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The comparative evaluation of the underlying causes of death processed respectively by ACME and SCB systems was performed using the input data file for the ACME system that included deaths which occurred in the State of S. Paulo from June to December 1993, totalling 129,104 records of the corresponding death certificates. The differences between underlying causes selected by ACME and SCB systems verified in the month of June, when considered as SCB errors, were used to correct and improve SCB processing logic and its decision tables. RESULTS: The processing of the underlying causes of death by the ACME and SCB systems resulted in 3,278 differences, that were analysed and ascribed to lack of answer to dialogue boxes during processing, to deaths due to human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease for which there was no specific provision in any of the systems, to coding and/or keying errors and to actual problems. The detailed analysis of these latter disclosed that the majority of the underlying causes of death processed by the SCB system were correct and that different interpretations were given to the mortality coding rules by each system, that some particular problems could not be explained with the available documentation and that a smaller proportion of problems were identified as SCB errors. CONCLUSION: These results, disclosing a very low and insignificant number of actual problems, guarantees the use of the version of the SCB system for the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases and assures the continuity of the work which is being undertaken for the Tenth Revision version.
