Using Cox multivariate analysis, factors associated with long-term mortality were delta SOFA (Hazard Ratio (HR) =1.558, 95%CI 1.298-1.870), ISTH-DIC score (HR = 1.381, 95%CI 1.049-1.817), hepatic dysfunction (HR = 7.653, 95%CI 2.031-28.842) and Charlson co-morbidity index (HR = 1.330, 95%CI 1.041-1.699). CONCLUSION The worsening of organ dysfunctions during the first three days of ICU admission as well as intraoperative coagulation disturbances (increased ISTH-DIC score) are independently associated with short and long-term mortality. Co-morbidities (Charlson co-morbidity index) and post-operative hepatic dysfunction were independently associated with long term mortality. Early perioperative bundle strategies should be evaluated in order to improve patient's survival in this specific situation.Nonobstetric surgery during pregnancy occurs in 1% to 2% of pregnant women. Physiologic changes during pregnancy may have an impact when anesthesia is needed. Anesthetic agents commonly used during pregnancy are not associated with teratogenic effects in clinical doses. Surgery-related risks of miscarriage and prematurity need to be elucidated with well-designed studies. Recommended practices include individualized use of intraoperative fetal monitoring and multidisciplinary planning to address the timing and type of surgery, anesthetic technique, pain management, and thromboprophylaxis. Emergency procedures should be performed immediately and elective surgery should be deferred during pregnancy.OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine how pre-Affordable Care Act (ACA) state-level Medicaid expansions affect dual enrollment and utilization of Veterans Health Administration (VA) and Medicaid-funded care. RESEARCH DESIGN We employed difference-in-difference analysis to determine the association between pre-ACA Medicaid expansions in New Y
