Rates, patterns, causes, and costs of hospitalization of nursing home residents
OBJECTIVES. Hospitalization of nursing home residents is a growing, poorly defined problem. The purposes of this study were to define rates, patterns, costs, and outcomes of hospitalizations from nursing homes and to consider implications for reducing this problem as part of health care reform. METHODS. Communitywide nursing home utilization review and hospital discharge data were used to define retrospectively a cohort of 2120 patients newly adm…
Excess pneumonia and influenza associated hospitalization during influenza epidemics in the United States, 1970-78
In this study, excess rates of pneumonia and influenza (P&I) associated hospitalization during influenza A epidemics which occurred in the United States between 1970-78 were computed utilizing unpublished data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS). Excesses occurred at rates of 35, 93, and 370 per 100,000 persons per epidemic for age groups 15-44, 45-64, and 65+ years. There was no evidence of a persisting excess or a compensatory de…
Community surveillance of stroke in persons under 70 years old
In 1979, a community-wide hospital surveillance system was established in Monroe County, New York (population 702,000), to investigate the continuing contribution of uncontrolled high blood pressure (HBP) to the occurrence of stroke. This paper reports findings among 200 consecutive strokes in persons under 71 years of age. Average age was 58. There was a prestroke history of HBP in 129 (65 per cent) cases. Two-thirds of the 129 had other predisp…
Impact of type A influenza on children
Excess morbidity was studied during influenza A epidemics (1968-69, 1972-73) among children in a large prepaid group practice program. Excess rates of hospitalization for influenza-related conditions, primarily pneumonia and bronchitis, ranged from 5 per 10,000 (95 per cent confidence limits (CL): 1 to 9) for non-high-risk children to 29 per 10,000 (95 per cent CL: 5 to 53) for children with high-risk conditions. The relative increases in hospita…
Underestimation of the role of pneumonia and influenza in causing excess mortality
Underestimation of pneumonia and influenza (P&I) mortality during influenza epidemics was explored in 38 P&U associated deaths among a population of adults during two influenza A (H3N2) epidemics. Pneumonia or influenza was mentioned on 32 (84 per cent) of the death certificates. However, based on rules for assigning cause of death, only nine (24 per cent, SE = 7) and 23 (61 per cent, SE = 8) of the cases would have been included in P&I mortality…
