| 3 | Size-specific dose estimates: Localizer or transverse abdominal computed tomography images?显示文摘AIM: To investigate effect of body dimensions obtained from localizer radiograph and transverse abdominal computed tomography(CT) images on Size Specific Dose Estimate. METHODS: This study was approved by Institutional Review Board and was compliant with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Fifty patients with abdominal CT examinations(58 ± 13 years, Male: Female 28:22) were included in this study. Anteriorposterior(AP) and lateral(Lat) diameters were measured at 5 cm intervals from the CT exam localizer radiograph(simple X-ray image acquired for planning the CT exam before starting the scan) and transverse CT images. Average of measured AP and Lat diameters, as well as maximum, minimum and mid location AP and Lat were measured on both image sets. In addition, off centering of patients from the gantry iso-center was calculated from the localizers. Conversion factors from American Association of Physicists in Medicine(AAPM) report 204 were obtained for AP, Lat, AP + Lat, and effective diameter(√ AP * Lat) to determine size specificdose estimate(SSDE) from the CT dose index volume(CTDIvol) recorded from the dose reports. Data were analyzed using SPSS v19. RESULTS: Total number of 5376 measurements was done. In some patients entire body circumference was not covered on either projection radiograph or transverse CT images; hence accurate measurement of AP and Lat diameters was not possible in 11%(278/2488) of locations. Forty one patients were off-centered with mean of 1.9 ± 1.8 cm(range: 0.4-7 cm). Conversion factors for attained diameters were not listed on AAPM look-up tables in 3%(80/2488) of measurements. SSDE values were significantly different compared to CTDIvol, ranging from 32% lower to 74% greater than CTDIvol. CONCLUSION: There is underestimation and overestimation of dose comparing SSDE values to CTDIvol. Localizer radiographs are associated with overestimation of patient size and therefore underestimation of SSDE. | Sarvenaz Pourjabbar Sarabjeet Singh Atul Padole Akshay Saini Michael A Blake Mannudeep K Kalra | 2014 | World Journal of Radiology2014,6,5: | 1 |

| 9 | Paracentesis in cirrhotics is associated with increased risk of 30-day readmission显示文摘AIM To determine the readmission rate, its reasons, predictors, and cost of 30-d readmission in patients with cirrhosis and ascites.METHODS A retrospective analysis of the nationwide readmission database(NRD) was performed during the calendar year 2013. All adults cirrhotics with a diagnosis of ascites,spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or hepatic encephalopathy were identified by ICD-9 codes. Multivariate analysis was performed to assess predictors of 30-d readmission and cost of readmission.RESULTS Of the 59597 patients included in this study, 18319(31%) were readmitted within 30 d. Majority(58%) of readmissions were for liver related reasons. Paracentesis was performed in 29832(50%) patients on index admission. Independent predictors of 30-d readmission included age < 40(OR: 1.39; CI: 1.19-1.64), age 40-64(OR: 1.19; CI: 1.09-1.30), Medicaid(OR: 1.21; CI: 1.04-1.41) and Medicare coverage(OR: 1.13; CI: 1.02-1.26), > 3 Elixhauser comorbidity(OR: 1.13; CI: 1.05-1.22), nonalcoholic cirrhosis(OR: 1.16; CI: 1.10-1.23), paracentesis on index admission(OR: 1.28; CI: 1.21-1.36) and having hepatocellular carcinoma(OR: 1.21; CI: 1.05; 1.39). Cost of index admission was similar in patients readmitted and not readmitted(P-value: 0.34); however cost of care was significantly more on 30 d readmission($30959 ± 762) as compared to index admission($12403 ± 378), P-value: < 0.001.CONCLUSION Cirrhotic patients with ascites have a 33% chance of readmission within 30-d. Younger patients, with public insurance, nonalcoholic cirrhosis and increased comorbidity who underwent paracentesis are at increased risk of readmission. Risk factors for unplanned readmission should be targeted given these patients have higher healthcare utilization. | Lindsay A Sobotka Rohan M Modi Akshay Vijayaraman A James Hanje Anthony J Michaels Lanla F Conteh Alice Hinton Ashraf El-Hinnawi Khalid Mumtaz | 2018 | World Journal of Hepatology2018,10,6: | 1 |
