Ventilator-associated conditions versus ventilator-associated pneumonia: different by design.

Current infectious disease reports

Klompas M.
PMID: 25129117
Curr Infect Dis Rep. 2014 Oct;16(10):430. doi: 10.1007/s11908-014-0430-0.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new surveillance concept called ventilator-associated conditions (VACs) in early 2013. VAC was created to overcome some of the limitations of traditional ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) definitions, including their complexity, subjectivity,...

Staphylococcus intermedius infections: case report and literature review.

Infectious disease reports

Wang N, Neilan AM, Klompas M.
PMID: 24470954
Infect Dis Rep. 2013 Jan 22;5(1):e3. doi: 10.4081/idr.2013.e3. eCollection 2013 Jan 22.

Staphylococcus intermedius is part of the normal skin and oral flora of dogs. Case reports of human infections are rare, but the true incidence is unknown because the pathogen is frequently misidentified as Staphylococcus aureus. Reported cases range from...

Electronic Health Record Use in Public Health Infectious Disease Surveillance, USA, 2018-2019.

Current infectious disease reports

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Electronic health records (EHRs) are an excellent source of data for disease symptoms, laboratory results, and medical treatments. Thus, EHR data may improve the completeness of notifiable disease case reporting and enable longitudinal collection of disease...

Institutional impediments to conservation of freshwater dependent ecosystems.

The Science of the total environment

Spring DA, Croft L, Bond NR, Cunningham SC, Mac Nally R, Kompas T.
PMID: 29190563
Sci Total Environ. 2018 Apr 15;621:407-416. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.11.232. Epub 2017 Nov 28.

When freshwater resources become scarce there is a trade-off between human resource demands and environmental sustainability. The cost of conserving freshwater ecosystems can potentially be reduced by implementing institutional reforms that endow environmental water managers with a permanent water...

Impact of Risk Adjustment Using Clinical vs Administrative Data on Hospital Sepsis Mortality Comparisons.

Open forum infectious diseases

Rhee C, Li Z, Wang R, Song Y, Kadri SS, Septimus EJ, Chen HC, Fram D, Jin R, Poland R, Sands K, Klompas M.
PMID: 32617377
Open Forum Infect Dis. 2020 Jun 25;7(6):ofaa213. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa213. eCollection 2020 Jun.

BACKGROUND: A reliable risk-adjusted sepsis outcome measure could complement current national process metrics by identifying outlier hospitals and catalyzing additional improvements in care. However, it is unclear whether integrating clinical data into risk adjustment models identifies similar high- and...

Risk Adjustment for Sepsis Mortality to Facilitate Hospital Comparisons Using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Adult Sepsis Event Criteria and Routine Electronic Clinical Data.

Critical care explorations

Rhee C, Wang R, Song Y, Zhang Z, Kadri SS, Septimus EJ, Fram D, Jin R, Poland RE, Hickok J, Sands K, Klompas M.

Variability in hospital-level sepsis mortality rates may be due to differences in case mix, quality of care, or diagnosis and coding practices. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Adult Sepsis Event definition could facilitate objective comparisons of sepsis mortality...

Association Between Residual Inhibition and Neural Activity in Patients with Tinnitus: Protocol for a Controlled Within- and Between-Subject Comparison Study.

JMIR research protocols

Hu S, Anschuetz L, Huth ME, Sznitman R, Blaser D, Kompis M, Hall DA, Caversaccio M, Wimmer W.

BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) studies indicate possible associations between tinnitus and changes in the neural activity. However, inconsistent results require further investigation to better understand such heterogeneity and inform the interpretation of previous findings.OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the...
