Design: Single-center retrospective cohort study of inpatient falls. Data were collected from the hospital's adverse event reporting system, DrQuality. Age, sex, date, time, and location of fall, clinical service, Morse Fall Scale/fall protocol, admitting diagnosis, and fall-related imaging studies were reviewed. Cost included professional and facilities fees for each study. Setting: Four hundred and fifteen bed urban academic hospital over 3 years (2008–2010). Patients: All adult inpatient falls during the study period were included. Falls experienced by patients aged <18 years, outpatient and emergency patients, visitors to the hospital, and staff were excluded. Measurements and main results: Five hundred and thirty inpatient falls occurred during the study period, average patient age 60.7 years (range 20–98). More than half of falls were men (55%) and patients considered at risk of falls (56%). Falls were evenly distributed across morning (33%), evening (34%), and night (33%) shifts. Of 530 falls, 178 (34%) patients were imaged with 262 studies. Twenty percent of patients imaged had at least one positive imaging study attributed to the fall and 82% of studies were negative. Total cost of imaging was $160,897, 63% ($100,700) from head computed tomography (CT). Conclusion: Inpatient falls affect patients of both sexes, all ages, occur at any time of day and lead to expensive imaging, mainly from head CTs. Further study should be tar

13. Long-term safety of ustekinumabfor psoriasis

Author

Kumar, Neal, Narang, Kirti, Cressey, Brienne D, and Gottlieb, Alice B

Abstract

Introduction:The biologic, Ustekinumab(Stelara®, Centocor, Inc., Malvern, PA, USA), is a fully human monoclonal antibody with a high affinity for the shared p40 subunit of interleukins 12 and 23 (IL-12 and IL-23). Approved for use in treating moderate-to-severe psoriasis in 2009, there has been considerable interest in the long-term safety of ustekinumab.Areas covered:This review discusses the use of ustekinumab in the treatment of psoriasis and its potential to be an effective and well-tolerated therapy. A literature search was performed for articles published through April 2013 to identify any safety concerns.Expert opinion:Our results indicate that ustekinumab has demonstrated higher efficacy rates as compared to traditional therapies; and with a favorable dosing schedule and stable safety profile, patients with recalcitrant disease will now have another option for treatment.

14. Use of Teledermatology in the Management of Psoriasis

Author

Kumar, Neal

Abstract

Teledermatology involves the use of digital photography, videoconferencing, and secure data transmission to provide dermatologic care from a distance. The purpose of this article is to review the literature related to teledermatology and the management of patients with psoriasis. Various search queries were used to search the PubMed database for original articles only. Separate studies of 10 and 12 patients both showed agreement of skin assessment scores between teledermatology and in-person consultations. A study of 64 patients randomly assigned to either teledermatology or in-office care resulted in similar improvements in patient outcomes scores. Lastly, a cost-effectiveness analysis showed that an online treatment group incurred less costs but similar improvements in outcome scores compared with an in-office treatment group. The evidence presented in this review offers preliminary, yet positive insight into the improvement of health outcomes, reliability of skin assessments, and cost-effectiveness associated with the use of teledermatology and psoriasis.

Objective: To quantify the type, prevalence, and cost of imaging following inpatient falls, identify factors associated with post-fall imaging, and determine correlates of positive versus negative imaging., Design: Single-center retrospective cohort study of inpatient falls. Data were collected from the hospital's adverse event reporting system, DrQuality. Age, sex, date, time, and location of fall, clinical service, Morse Fall Scale/fall protocol, admitting diagnosis, and fall-related imaging studies were reviewed.

Falls experienced by patients aged <18 years, outpatient and emergency patients, visitors to the hospital, and staff were excluded., Measurements and Main Results: Five hundred and thirty inpatient falls occurred during the study period, average patient age 60.7 years (range 20-98). More than half of falls were men (55%) and patients considered at risk of falls (56%). Falls were evenly distributed across morning (33%), evening (34%), and night (33%) shifts.

Total cost of imaging was $160,897, 63% ($100,700) from head computed tomography (CT)., Conclusion: Inpatient falls affect patients of both sexes, all ages, occur at any time of day and lead to expensive imaging, mainly from head CTs. Further study should be targeted toward clarifying the indications for head CT after inpatient falls and validating risk models for positive and negative imaging, in order to decrease unnecessary imaging and thereby limit unnecessary cost and radiation exposure.
