Prevalence of dyspnea among hospitalized patients at the time of admission.
Dyspnea is an uncomfortable and distressing sensation experienced by hospitalized patients. There is no large-scale study of the prevalence and intensity of patient-reported dyspnea at the time of admission to the hospital. In this study the investigators conducted a prospective cohort study among all consecutive hospitalized patients at a single tertiary care center in Boston, MA. The investigators concluded that dyspnea is a common symptom among all hospitalized patients and that routine documentation of dyspnea is feasible in a large tertiary care center.
