Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Data Reliability and Factors Affecting Outcome After Stroke Using Electronic Administrative Records
Conclusion: Electronic administrative records from this cohort produced reliable outcome prediction and identified clinically appropriate factors negatively impacting most outcome variables following hospital admission with stroke. This presents a means of future identification of modifiable factors associated with patient discharge destination. This may potentially aid in patient selection for certain interventions and aid in better patient and clinician education regarding expected discharge outcomes.

Emphysematous cystitis: An atypical multi-organism presentation.
Abstract An 84-year-old diabetic women receiving in-hospital stroke management began suffering from vague lower abdominal pain, increased urge incontinence and gross hematuria. Physical examination revealed suprapubic tenderness and a tympanic bladder. A computed tomography confirmed a distended bladder with gas foci delineating the bladder wall. Microbiology revealed an atypical multi-organism presentation of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus species. Emphysematous cystitis is characterized by air within the bladder wall often found in elderly diabetic females. Predominant organisms include Escherichia coli ...
