Early diagnosis of heterotopic ossification among patients admitted to a neurological post intensive care rehabilitation unit.
CONCLUSIONS: HO is a sub-acute complication which develops in patients admitted to ICU for severe central nervous system disorders as clinical suspicion or radiological confirmation of diagnosis was made within the first week after admission in neurological PICRU (i.e. 6 to 8 weeks after ICU admission).
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: As treatment for HO may at least partially improves rehabilitation and quality of life, we recommend a systematic screening in PICRU patients for HO by clinical examination supplemented by imaging in case of suspicion.

In-hospital organization of primary care of patients presenting a life-threatening emergency: A French national survey in 32 university hospitals

The Evolution of an Inpatient Palliative Care Consultation Service in an Urban Teaching Hospital.
CONCLUSION: We describe the evolution of palliative care in a safety-net hospital. Medicine services which are largely resident run adopted early. Specialty services that are attending driven adopted later. We believe house staff and nurses were the initial change agents. The number of consultations increased when house staff and students began rotating on the service suggesting unmet demand due to the limited supply of providers.

Rate of Utilization and Determination of Withdrawal of Care among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient Treated with Thrombolytics (P02.002)
CONCLUSIONS: Our results identify several individual and institution related factors that determine the use of "withdrawal of care" among thrombolytic treated ischemic stroke patients. The excessively high mortality and resource utilization mandates a more evidence based policy for "withdrawal of care" in these patients.Disclosure: Dr. Suri has nothing to disclose.
