A comparison of endoscopic endonasal versus open approaches for skull base chordoma: a comprehensive National Cancer Database analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The endoscopic endonasal approach has been increasingly utilized over time and touts noninferiority with respect to safety and efficacy with a marked improvement in LOS, which carries substantial implications for both healthcare costs and enhanced patient recovery. Future prospective studies are necessary to further delineate trends and surgical outcomes for skull base chordoma.PMID:38691856 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.FOCUS23933 (Source: Neurosurgical Focus)

A machine learning model for the early diagnosis of bloodstream infection in patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit
by Felipe Liporaci, Danilo Carlotti, Ana Carlotti
Bloodstream infection (BSI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and high healthcare costs. Early detection and appropriate treatment of BSI may improve patient’s outcome. Data on machine-learning models to predict BSI in pediatric pati ents are limited and neither study included time series data. We aimed to develop a machine learning model to predict an early diagnosis of BSI in patients admitted to the PICU. This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who had at least one positive blood culture result d...

Real-world total cost of care by line of therapy in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma
Conclusion: Total healthcare costs increased with each additional LoT in the R/R DLBCL setting. Further improvements of first-line treatments that reduce the need for subsequent LoTs would potentially lessen the economic burden of DLBCL.PMID:38686393 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2349472 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)
