Article Synopsis
- * A study examined hospitalized patients with midline catheters to see if the tip's location (arm vs. axillary vein) affected the incidence of midline catheter-associated thrombosis (MCAT).
- * Results showed no significant increase in MCAT risk for catheters placed in the axillary vein compared to those in the arm, suggesting that current guidelines against axillary placement may need to be reevaluated.

January 2025
Background And Aims: Timely transition of care amongst patients with a first diagnosis of cirrhosis in a hospital to an outpatient visit is important. We evaluated rates of outpatient follow-up after a first diagnosis of cirrhosis during an inpatient setting, and its association with subsequent rates of rehospitalisation and mortality.
Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study identifying all hospitalised patients in Sweden diagnosed with cirrhosis between 2002 and 2020 from the Swedish National Patient Register.
Background: Since many COVID-19 publications lack consensus reviews or controls, interpretive accuracy is unclear; abdominal processes unique or infrequent during the pandemic remain unknown. The incidence and nature of CT findings accounting for abdominal complaints in COVID patients, reader agreement and overcalling will be determined.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on COVID patients with abdominal complaints from 3/15/2020-5/31/2020 and 11/1/2020-4/15/2021 including matched controls.
