BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is one of the most common benign tumors in women, and its incidence is gradually increasing in China. The clinical complications of UL have a negative impact on women's health, and the cost of treatment poses a significant burden on patients. Diagnosis-related groups (DRG) are internationally recognized as advanced healthcare payment management methods that can effectively reduce costs. However, there are variations in the design and grouping rules of DRG policies across different regions...

STUDY DESIGN: A total of 21,101 closed claims with 54,479 CFs (2.2 contributing factors per claim) from a large medical professional liability coverage provider were analyzed from 2010 to 2019. RESULTS: Four clinical CFs (technical performance, management of therapy, patient assessment, and patient factors) and four nonclinical CFs (communication between providers and patient, communication among providers, failure or delay in obtaining a consult, and insufficient documentation) were identified >1,500 times...

INTRODUCTION: Although Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-EK) significantly contribute to bloodstream infections, their economic repercussions remain largely unquantified. DATA SOURCE AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of inpatients diagnosed with Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia in a tertiary hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 in Guangzhou, China. We employed the chi-square test to examine ESBL risk factors and utilized propensity score matching (PSM) to negate baseline confounding factors, assessing economic burden through disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), hospital costs and productivity losses...

BACKGROUND: To meet the blood requirements for transfusion therapy, blood banks need to ensure that blood inventories are maintained at desirable levels. There is a rising global need for optimal ways to manage blood supply and demand using statistical models in blood inventory planning and management. Thus, blood donation forecasting using donor-specific characteristics such as donor type and age is critical in managing the blood bank inventory.

INTRODUCTION: Nursing homes (NHs) serve as a safety net for vulnerable populations such as older adults and people with disabilities. Nursing Home Administrators (NHAs) play a crucial role in managing the daily operations of NHs, including overseeing direct care staff and establishing the facility's strategic direction. Unfortunately, NHs have consistently faced high NHA turnover rates, which have been linked to poor organizational performance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between NHA turnover and financial performance in NHs...

INTRODUCTION: Measuring and understanding perceived occupational stress is crucial for understanding workers' experiences of stress in the workplace and its potential implications on mental health outcomes and job performance. However, there is a scarcity of brief measures containing relevant items focused solely on occupational stress, suitable for integration with risk assessment tools for work-related stress. This study aimed to validate the Perceived Occupational Stress (POS) scale in Turkish and examined its measurement invariance across Turkish and Italian samples...
