| Description: Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin versus Compression Stockings for Thromboprophylaxis after Knee Arthroscopy: A Randomized Trial
Giuseppe Camporese, Enrico Bernardi, Paolo Prandoni, Franco Noventa, Fabio Verlato, Paolo Simioni, Kadimashi Ntita, Giovanna Salmistraro, Christos Frangos, Franco Rossi, Rosamaria Cordova, Francesca Franz, Pietro Zucchetta, Dimitrios Kontothanassis, Giuseppe Maria Andreozzi for the KANT (Knee Arthroscopy Nadroparin Thromboprophylaxis) Study Group
In this trial, 1761 adults who had knee arthroscopy were randomly assigned to receive 7 or 14 days of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or to wear a full-length graduated compression stocking on the operated leg for 1 week. Fewer than 1% of the patients in any group had significant postsurgical bleeding complications. Fewer patients in the 7-day LMWH group experienced a composite outcome of deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or death.
Empirical Fluconazole versus Placebo for Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Randomized Trial
Mindy G. Schuster, John E. Edwards, Jr., Jack D. Sobel, Rabih O. Darouiche, Adolf W. Karchmer, Susan Hadley, Gus Slotman, Helene Panzer, Pinaki Biswas, and John H. Rex
This multicenter trial tested the effect of empirical antifungal treatment in febrile intensive care unit patients. Investigators randomly assigned 270 patients with fever despite taking broad-spectrum antibiotics to either fluconazole, 800 mg/d, or placebo for 2 weeks. About 40% of patients in each group achieved all 4 components of successful treatment: resolution of fever, no invasive fungal infection, no stopping therapy because of toxicity, and no need for a nonstudy systemic antifungal medication. Compared with placebo, empirical antifungal fluconazole therapy had no effect in high-risk intensive care unit patients.
Prehypertension during Young Adulthood and Coronary Calcium Later in Life
Mark J. Pletcher, Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, Cora E. Lewis, Gina S. Wei, Steve Sidney, J. Jeffrey Carr, Eric Vittinghoff, Charles E. McCulloch, and Stephen B. Hulley
In their prospective cohort study, Pletcher and colleagues found that prehypertension before age 35 years, especially systolic prehypertension, showed a graded association with coronary calcium later in life. This association remained strong after adjustment for differences in blood pressure elevation after age 35 years and other coronary risk factors and participant characteristics.

Comparing Patient-Reported Hospital Adverse Events with Medical Record Review: Do Patients Know Something That Hospitals Do Not?
Joel S. Weissman, Eric C. Schneider, Saul N. Weingart, Arnold M. Epstein, JoAnn David-Kasdan, Sandra Feibelmann, Catherine L. Annas, Nancy Ridley, Leslie Kirle, and Constantine Gatsonis
Little is known about whether patient interviews can reveal adverse events not detected by medical record review. Weissman and colleagues compared adverse event rates from postdischarge patient interviews with those from medical records. Among 998 study patients, 23% had at least 1 adverse event detected by interview, compared with 11% by record review. Record review identified 11 serious and preventable events. Interviews identified 21 serious and preventable events that were not documented in the medical record. Hospitals should consider adding questions about adverse events to postdischarge interviews. |

Cover Artwork Slowing the Next Pandemic: Survey of Community Mitigation Strategies - Podcast, (May 20, 2008) |
| Description: During the next influenza pandemic, it will take time to develop a vaccine and there may be limited medication to treat or prevent illness. To slow the spread of disease, CDC and other public health officials will likely ask Americans to decrease contact with others through altering work schedules, school dismissals and other measures. Researchers recently surveyed the public to see whether people could follow those recommendations and what kind of impact they might have. |
