Mashup Score: 1
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the rates, causes, or risk factors for hospital readmission among patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). We investigated the prevalence, features, and comorbidities of subjects hospitalized with ILD and their subsequent re-hospitalizations in this retrospective study. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of subjects enrolled in the University of Chicago ILD Natural History registry was conducted. Demographic data, comorbidities, and timing and cause of subsequent hospitalizations were collected from the medical record. The primary outcome was time to first readmission via a cause-specific Cox hazards model with a sensitivity analysis with the Fine-Gray cumulative hazard model; the secondary outcome was the number of hospitalizations per subject via a Poisson multivariable model. RESULTS: Among 1,796 patients with ILD, 443 subjects were hospitalized, with 978 total hospitalizations; 535 readmissions were studied, 282 (53%) for a respiratory indicat

Mashup Score: 29Actinomycosis mimicking metastatic lung malignancy - 6 hour(s) ago
A 66-year-old Nepalese man with a medical history of hypertension presented with a 4-month history of an intermittently productive cough, worsening breathlessness, unintentional weight loss and a progressively enlarging lump on the right anterior chest wall that had become red and warm in the days prior to admission. On examination, he was cachectic, febrile and tachycardic, but the chest was clear on auscultation and there was no oxygen requirement. A 16 cm tender, erythematous and warm lump was evident on the right anterolateral chest wall. Initial bloods demonstrated normocytic anaemia, neutrophilia, thrombocytosis, hypoalbuminaemia and serum C reactive protein of 208 (range 0–5 mg/L). Chest radiograph demonstrated right middle and lower zone opacities (figure 1A). CT of the chest revealed multiple ‘nodules and masses in the right hemithorax’ and was reported as a ‘widespread primary lung malignancy’ with a provisional …
