The ORBIT bleeding score: a simple bedside score to assess bleeding risk in atrial fibrillation.
The researchers sought to develop and validate a novel bleeding risk score using routinely available clinical information to predict major bleeding in a large, community-based in atrial fibrillation (AF) population. They concluded that their five-element ORBIT bleeding risk score had better ability to predict major bleeding in AF patients when compared with HAS-BLED and ATRIA risk scores.

Can adding laboratory values improve risk-adjustment mortality models using clinical percutaneous cardiac intervention registry data?
The authors predicted in-hospital/30-day mortality with and without appended laboratory data using New York's percutaneous coronary intervention registry data from 2008-2010. They found that adding laboratory data did not significantly improve the risk-adjustment mortality models' performance and did not dramatically change the quality assessment of hospitals.

Using joint registry data from FORCE-TJR to improve the accuracy of risk-adjustment prediction models for thirty-day readmission after total hip replacement and total knee replacement.
The authors argue that registry data offer the opportunity to combine clinical information currently available in registries (such as the Function and Outcomes Research for Comparative Effectiveness in Total Joint Replacement [FORCE-TJR] registry based at the University of Massachusetts Medical School) with the administrative data currently used by CMS. Doing so will improve the risk adjustment for patients having total joint replacement by making the data more accurate and more fair for hospitals and surgeons.

The value of adding laboratory data to coronary artery bypass grafting registry data to improve models for risk-adjusting provider mortality rates.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of laboratory data to the clinical database for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) would identify laboratory variables that are significant independent predictors of short-term (in-hospital / 30-day) mortality. The researchers found that there was no significant difference in the discrimination of the registry model or the combined registry/laboratory model.

Increasing obesity and comorbidity in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty in the U.S.: a 13-year study of time trends.
The researchers examined the time-trends in key demographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). They found that obesity, medical and psychological comorbidity increased and the underlying diagnosis of RA/inflammatory arthritis decreased rapidly in primary THA patients over 13-years.
