Community Household Income and Resource Utilization for Common Inpatient Pediatric Conditions

Socioeconomic status is known to influence health and health care utilization, but few studies have explored the relationship between community-level income and inpatient resource utilization for children.

In a large sample of pediatric hospitalizations, lower community-level household income is associated with higher inpatient costs of care for common conditions. These findings highlight the need to consider socioeconomic status in health care system design and reimbursement. (Read the full article)

Clinical Utility of PCR for Common Viruses in Acute Respiratory Illness

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction allows sensitive detection of respiratory viruses. The clinical significance of detection of specific viruses is not fully understood, however, and several viruses have been detected in the respiratory tract of asymptomatic children.

Our results indicate that quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is limited at distinguishing acute infection from detection in asymptomatic children for rhinovirus, bocavirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, and coronavirus. (Read the full article)

Common and Costly Hospitalizations for Pediatric Mental Health Disorders

The pediatric mental health burden is substantial, with >4 million children meeting criteria for a mental health disorder. Mental health is a key priority for national pediatric inpatient quality measures, but little is known about admitted patients and their diagnoses.

Nationally, nearly 10% of hospitalizations in children >3 years are for primary mental health diagnoses. The most common and costly are depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. Fewer free-standing children’s hospitalizations (3%) were for mental health admissions, although diagnostic distributions were similar. (Read the full article)

Common Genetic Variants and Risk of Brain Injury After Preterm Birth

Preterm birth is strongly associated with alterations in brain development and long-term neurocognitive impairment that are not fully explained by environmental factors.

Common genetic variation in genes associated with schizophrenia and lipid metabolism modulates the risk for preterm brain injury; known susceptibilities to neurologic disease in later life may be exposed by the stress of preterm birth. (Read the full article)

Trends in Regionalization of Emergency Care for Common Pediatric Conditions

BACKGROUND:

For children who cannot be discharged from the emergency department, definitive care has become less frequent at most hospitals. It is uncertain whether this is true for common conditions that do not require specialty care. We sought to determine how the likelihood of definitive care has changed for 3 common pediatric conditions: asthma, croup, and gastroenteritis.

METHODS:

We used the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample database to study children <18 years old presenting to emergency departments in the United States from 2008 to 2016 with a primary diagnosis of asthma, croup, or gastroenteritis, excluding critically ill patients. The primary outcome was referral rate: the number of patients transferred among all patients who could not be discharged. Analyses were stratified by quartile of annual pediatric volume. We used logistic regression to determine if changes over time in demographics or comorbidities could account for referral rate changes.

RESULTS:

Referral rates increased for each condition in all volume quartiles. Referral rates were greatest in the lowest pediatric volume quartile. Referral rates in the lowest pediatric volume quartile increased for asthma (13.6% per year; 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.6%–22.2%), croup (14.8% per year; 95% CI 2.6%–28.3%), and gastroenteritis (16.4% per year; 95% CI 3.5%–31.0%). Changes over time in patient age, sex, comorbidities, weekend presentation, payer mix, urban-rural location of presentation, or area income did not account for these findings.

CONCLUSIONS:

Increasing referral rates over time suggest decreasing provision of definitive care and regionalization of inpatient care for 3 common, generally straightforward conditions.

Genus Synthesis Solution – Introduction to Stylus Common UI

The Cadence® Genus  Synthesis Solution, Innovus  Implementation System, and Tempus  Timing Signoff Solution have a lot of shared functionality, but in the past, the separate legacy user interfaces (UIs) created a lot of differences.

A new common user interface that the Genus solution shares with the Innovus and Tempus solutions streamlines flow development and simplifies usability across the complete Cadence digital flow. The Stylus Common UI provides a next-generation synthesis-to-signoff flow with unified database access, MMMC timing configuration and reporting, and low-power design initialization.

This webinar answers the following questions:

  • What is the Stylus Common UI and why did Cadence develop it?
  • How does someone invoke and use the Stylus Common UI?
  • What are some of the important and useful features of the Stylus Common UI?
  • What are key ways the Stylus Common UI is different from the Legacy UI?

If you want to learn more about Stylus UI in the context of Genus Synthesis Solution, refer to 45-minute recorded webinar on https://support.cadence.com (Cadence login required).

CA Common Services casrvc Privilege Escalation

CA Technologies support is alerting customers about a medium risk vulnerability that may allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges with products using CA Common Services running on the AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris platforms. The vulnerability, CVE-2016-9795, occurs due to insufficient validation by the casrvc program. A local unprivileged user can exploit the vulnerability to modify arbitrary files, which can potentially allow a local attacker to gain root level access.

A buffer overflow in the CheckMonitor() function in the Common Desktop Environment 2.3.1 and earlier and 1.6 and earlier, as distributed with Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 (Update 11) and earlier, allows local users to gain root privileges via a long palette name passed to dtsession in a malicious .Xdefaults file. Note that Oracle Solaris CDE is based on the original CDE 1.x train, which is different from the CDE 2.x codebase that was later open sourced. Most notably, the vulnerable buffer in the Oracle Solaris CDE is stack-based, while in the open source version it is heap-based.

The open source version of CDE (based on the CDE 2.x codebase) is not affected, because it does not ship the vulnerable program. Versions 1.6 and below are affected.
