• El-Kareh, Robert; Roy, Christopher; Brodsky, Gregor; Perencevich, Molly; Poon, Eric G. 2013-01-01 Background Failure to follow up microbiology results pending at discharge can delay appropriate treatment, increasing the risk of patient harm and litigation.
Limited data describe the frequency of post-discharge microbiology results requiring a treatment change. Objective To determine the incidence and predictors of post-discharge microbiology results requiring follow-up Design Cross sectional Setting Large academic hospital during 2007 Measurements We evaluated blood, urine, sputum and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) cultures ordered for hospitalized patients. We identified cultures that returned post-discharge and determined which were clinically important and not treated by an antibiotic to which they were susceptible.
We reviewed a random subset to assess the potential need for antibiotic change. Using logistic regression, we identified significant predictors of results requiring follow-up. Results Of 77,349 inpatient culture results, 8,668 (11%) returned post-discharge. Of these, 385 (4%) were clinically important and untreated at discharge. Among 94 manually-reviewed cases, 53% potentially required a change in therapy. Urine cultures were more likely to potentially require therapy change than non-urine cultures (aOR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1–7.2; p=0.03). Also, 76% of 25 results from surgical services potentially required a therapy change, compared with 59% of 29 results from general medicine, 38% of 16 results from oncology and 33% of 24 results from medical subspecialties.
Overall, 2.4% of post-discharge cultures potentially necessitated an antibiotic change. Conclusion Many microbiology results return post-discharge and some necessitate a change in treatment. These results arise from many specialties, suggesting the need for a hospital-wide system to ensure effective communication of these results.

Methods: In this prospective study, follow-up skeletal surveys were recommended for 74 children who, after an initial skeletal survey and evaluation by the Child Abuse Team, were suspected victims of physical abuse.

To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the technique, from October of 1995 to March of 1997, we performed 24 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedures in 22 patients with severe extracranial carotid artery stenosis. Three common carotid and 21 internal carotid arteries were treated, and 19 procedures included stent implantation using nonarticulated PALMAZ stents (P154 and P204).
Twelve patients were asymptomatic and 10 patients were symptomatic; 2 of the symptomatic patients had complete obstruction of the internal carotid artery that was successfully recanalized.

Technical and angiographic success was achieved in 23 of 24 procedures, with the carotid artery obstruction diminishing from 85.6% +/- 8.5% to 5.7% +/- 3.2% (P 60 days) after an abnormal TSH. We then retrospectively applied the algorithm to a large EHR data warehouse within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), on patient records from two large VA networks for the period from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2011. Identified records were reviewed to confirm the presence of delays in follow-up. During the study period, 645,555 patients were seen in the outpatient setting within the two networks.
