Initial admission to a for-profit hospital increased the likelihood of readmission to a different hospital.

Nearly one in three postpartum VTEs are missed by the current quality metrics, with significant implications for outcomes and quality. For-profit hospitals have a significant portion of their VTE readmissions hidden, falsely lowering their readmission rates relative to public hospitals.

Quality care during childbirth requires that health care providers have not only excellent skills but also appropriate and considerate attitudes and behavior. Few studies have examined the proportion of women in Western countries expressing dissatisfaction with such inappropriate or inconsiderate behavior. This study evaluated this proportion in a sample presumably representative of French maternity units.

This prospective multicenter study, using data from a selfadministered questionnaire, took place in 25 French maternity units during one week in September 2018. The primary outcome measure was mothers' self-reported dissatisfaction with blatantly inappropriate behavior (ie, inappropriate attitude, inadequate respect for privacy, insufficient gentleness of care, and/or inappropriate language) by health care workers in the delivery room. The secondary outcome was their self-reported dissatisfaction with these workers' inconsiderate behavior (ie, unclear and inappropriate information, insufficient participation in decision-making, or deficient consideration of pain).

Of 803 potentially eligible women, 627 completed the questionnaire after childbirth; 5.62% (35/623, 95% CI 3.94-7.73) reported dissatisfaction with blatantly inappropriate behaviors and 9.79% (61/623, 95% CI 7.57-12.40) with inconsiderate behaviors. The main causes of dissatisfaction reported by women in this survey were the inadequate consideration of their pain and the failure to share decision-making.

Most of the women were satisfied with how health care workers behaved towards them in the delivery room. Nonetheless, health care staff must be aware of women's demands for greater consideration of their expressions of pain and of their voice in decisions.

While pain is common in older adults, the association with physical activity remains unclear. Currently, the role physical activity plays in impacting pain developing over time is not well defined.

Latent transition analysis (LTA) is a model-based approach to identifying underlying subgroups in a population, longitudinally, based on measured characteristics. In this study, LTA was used to explore the associations between physical activity levels and pain classes of adults aged over 50years, from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (n=8,175) across three waves of data collection (4years).

Using three previously established pain classes (No Pain; Low-Moderate Impact Pain; High Impact Pain), 66% of older adults were classified as having 'No Pain' across the three waves. At Wave 1, individuals reporting low (OR=4.00, 95% CI [3.21, 5.17]) or moderate (OR=1.59, 95% CI [1.27, 1.99]) levels of physical activity are more likely to be in the High Impact Pain class, than the No Pain class. Longitudinally, individuals in the No Pain class with low or moderate physical activity were more likely to transition to the High Impact Pain class compared to those with higher physical activity scores (from Wave 1 to Wave 2, OR=1.90, 95% CI [1.15, 3.37]; and from Wave 2 to Wave 3, OR=2.27, 95% CI [1.40, 4.74]).

Older adults who do not meet minimum physical activity guidelines for moderate intensity exercise are at increased risk of higher impact pain when followed over 4years.

Older adults who do not meet minimum physical activity guidelines are at increased risk of transitioning to higher impact pain classes when followed over 4years.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is prevalent in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) population. CRS exacerbations in CF are thought to contribute to pulmonary exacerbations. Literature regarding the impact of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is inconclusive. This study examines rates of lung function decline and pulmonary exacerbation in CF patients who have undergone ESS.

Retrospective review of medical records.

Academic Hospital.

40 adult CF patients.

Rate of lung function decline (% predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1second [ppFEV
]), number of pulmonary exacerbations (IV/oral antibiotic therapy±hospital admission) and total number days hospitalised 2-year postoperatively was collected. CRS patients undergoing ESS were matched to those without ESS by gender, age, and F508del genotype.

Forty patients (mean age 37.4, 60% male) were reviewed. No significant difference was found between the surgical group and controls in baseline ppFEV
(72.5% vs. SB 204990 chemical structure 72.7%, P=.98), 2-year preoperative number of pulmonary exacerbations (3.05 vs. 1.65, P=.10), or Lund-Mackay scores (12.25 vs. 11.55, P=.71). No significant difference was found in 1-year (70.5% vs. 72.8%, P=.84) or 2-year (70.4% vs. 72.6% P=.80) postoperative ppFEV
and 2-year postoperative pulmonary exacerbations (1.7 vs. 1.45, P=.87). A significant increase was identified in total number days hospitalised postoperatively (4.85, P=.02). In the surgical group, no significant difference was identified between preoperative and postoperative ppFEV
, 1year (-2.51%, P=.32) and 2years after ESS (-3.10%, P=.51), postoperative rate of pulmonary exacerbations (-1.28, P=.11), or in total number days hospitalised (3.74, P=.14).

In this study, ESS does not appear to significantly improve ppFEV
or decrease the number of pulmonary exacerbations postoperatively.
