BACKGROUND Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) use has significantly reduced intracerebral hemorrhagic (ICH) risk compared with standard anticoagulant treatment. Hematoma expansion (HE) is a known predictor of mortality in warfarin-associated ICH. Little is known about HE in patients

UNASSIGNED This study aimed to compare the performances of the Glasgow-Blatchford Bleeding Score (GBS), pre-endoscopic Rockall score (PRS), complete Rockall score (CRS), and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Predictive Index (CSMCPI) in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with upper gastrointestinal

OBJECTIVE Risk scoring systems are used increasingly to assess patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH). There have been comparative studies to identify the best system, but most have been retrospective and included small sample sizes, few patients with severe bleeding and with low

Background Bleeding remains the most common complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Guidelines recommend assessing bleeding risk before percutaneous coronary intervention to target use of bleeding avoidance strategies and mitigate bleeding events. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center undertook an

UNASSIGNED Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is the most severe type of stroke. In 2012, the Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), launched the Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSCs). This new

BACKGROUND Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a serious health problem with mortality rates that have remained unchanged for the last years in spite of improvements in management. OBJECTIVE Validating the Cedars Sinai score for predicting rebleeding and mortality at the Arzobispo Loayza National

The authors aimed to compare the clinical utility of five scoring systems for the prediction of rebleeding and death in patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). A total of 239 consecutive patients who had undergone endoscopy due to nonvariceal UGIB were prospectively

OBJECTIVE To prospectively validate in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding three risk scoring systems (the Baylor College scoring system, the Rockall's risk scoring system and the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre predictive index) previously proposed to be predictive of

Clinicians at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles have designed a clinical guideline that uses a scoring index to stratify patient risks, resulting in early discharge from the hospital for the 70% of patients found to be low risk. A more ambitious plan at Kaiser Permanente treats GI bleeding

BACKGROUND Upper gastrointestinal tract haemorrhage is a common cause of hospitalization: resource utilization in management of peptic ulcer bleeding varies considerably with no apparent effect on patient outcome. Several risk score systems based on endoscopic and clinical data have been proposed

Background: Guidelines recommend using prognostic scales for risk stratification in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It remains unclear whether risk scores offer greater accuracy than clinical evaluation. Objective: Compare the diagnostic accuracy of the

Prediction of the outcome and severity of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) has significant importance in patient care, disposition, and determining the need for emergent endoscopy. Recent international recommendations endorse using scoring systems for management of non-variceal UGIB

Subdural hematoma is a relatively common complication of long-term anticoagulation, particularly in the elderly. The combination of anticoagulation and cerebral cortical atrophy is believed to be sufficient to explain the subdural bleeding. The authors report a series of elderly patients who were on

Cedrus deodara is a highly valued conifer widely grown as an ornamental in the Pacific Northwest and southern United States. C. deodara in the Pacific Northwest is normally problem free but occasionally is damaged by dieback of shoot tips, which has been associated with a fungus resembling

The safety and toxicity associated with the use of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been extensively studied. Thirty-three patients with IBD who were prescribed celecoxib or rofecoxib were identified from questionnaire during
