Most musicians at colleges experience performance-related pain in a variety of anatomical locations depending upon instrument/voice. Performing arts health organizations can increase awareness of treatment options for musicians suffering from performance-related pain, which may lead to improved quality of life and increased career longevity for college musicians.
the occipital and supraorbital nerves. Although the etiology of chronic headaches in the elderly population mainly include temporal arteritis, malignant tumors, tension headaches and migraines, this case illustrates an example of how atypical etiologies can serve as a source of debilitating headaches. Conclusions: Careful physical exam and non axial diagnostic peripheral blocks can help diagnose chronic headaches caused by atypical fibroxanthoma.
Poster 23One-Year All-Cause Mortality Following Stroke: A Prediction Model. Interventions: Not applicable Main Outcome Measures: Death for any cause occurring between the index hospital discharge date and the 1-year anniversary of that date. Results or Clinical Course: Within 1 year after discharge, 894 (13.5%) of the total sample had died. Eighteen risk factors known at the point of hospital discharge remained independently associated with 1-year post discharge mortality after backward selection including advanced age, admission to the hospital from extended care, type of stroke, 8 comorbid conditions, 4 types of procedures occurring during the index hospitalization, hospital length of stay (longer than 3 weeks), discharge location, and accreditation of a rehabilitation program by the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities within the treating hospital. Risk of 1-year mortality ranged from 2.45% in the lowest quartile to 29.45% in the highest quartile in the derivation cohort, and from 2.33% to 31.08% in the validation cohort. Model discrimination demonstrated an area under the ROC curve of 0.787 in the derivation cohort, and 0.788 in the validation cohort. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit indicated that model fit were adequate (p¼.68). Conclusions: Using readily available data, a simple index stratifying stroke patients at the time of discharge according to low, moderate, high, and very high likelihood of all-cause one-year mortality is feasible. Specific interventions can be targeted posthospital discharge depending on level of risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
