The study's aim was to assess how much of the variation in disease-specific mortality between metropolitan, rural and remote areas is specific to those diseases or reflects the all-cause mortality pattern. The ranges and variances of disease-specific standardised proportional mortality ratios between geographical areas…

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Although sleep disordered breathing is common in patients with a severe chronic respiratory insufficiency (SCRI), there is few information on its prevalence. Our aim was to describe the prevalence and characteristics of the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in these patients.…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Recent studies suggest that markers of mesenteric inflammation, such as increased adipose tissue, may be associated with poor outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD). This study's hypothesis is that CD patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) have more CD-related hospitalizations than CD patients without MetS.…

One fifth of all public treatment admissions are emerging adults, and few studies have considered whether treatments are developmentally appropriate. This study compares outcomes between adolescents and emerging adults with substance use disorders who received the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA). Pr…
