Article Abstract
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), caused by hanta viruses (HTNV), can be complicated by severe complications. Seventeen percent of the HFRS patients with abdominal pain had acute pancreatitis (AP). The reported prevalence of AP among HFRS patients has a conspicuous high mortality rate. Of note, acute capillary cholangitis (ACC) among HFRS patients presenting with abdominal pain appears extremely rare, particularly independent of HFRS patients complicated with AP. The main pathophysiological mechanism of HFRS complicated with AP and ACC may be that it preferentially damages the microvascular and induces plasma leakage. To date, the management of severe HFRS cases is mainly based on supportive treatment, including extracorporeal blood purification and mechanical ventilation. Here, we describe an exceptionally rare case of a 34-year man who developed HFRS with AP and ACC while improving from HTNV infection via antiviral and supportive treatment.

Age does not improve the predictive ability of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score for length of stay.
PLoS One
September 2025
Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth University Hospitals NHS Trust, Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Background: The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) has been widely used to identify patients at high risk of poor outcomes and to predict poor outcomes for older people. Although poor health outcomes are associated more with frailty than age, HFRS has been validated only for older people. This study aimed to explore for the first time whether age influences the predictive power of Hospital Frailty Risk Score to predict a long length of stay.

Background: Malnutrition contributes to frailty dementia, intensifying adverse health outcomes including mortality risk.
Objectives: We aim to investigate the impact of malnutrition risk in those with frailty and functional decline on short-term mortality among older adults with dementia and/or cognitive impairment.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 2677 hospitalized patients aged ≥65 years with a diagnosis of dementia or cognitive impairment discharged between March 2022 and December 2023.
Unexpected Challenges: A Case Report of Hantavirus Infection in a Pregnant Patient in a Rural Emergency Department.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Tahoe Forest Hospital, Truckee, CA.
Background: Hantavirus, transmitted primarily by rodents, can cause hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
Case Report: This case details a 28-year-old female, 6 weeks pregnant, who presented with fever to a rural emergency department (ED) in California. Initially, her symptoms were concerning for a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or viral syndrome, and she was discharged.
Association between Hospital Frailty Risk Score and length of hospital stay, hospital mortality, and hospital costs for all adults in England: a nationally representative, retrospective, observational cohort study.

Medical Research Council Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at University College London, University College London, London, UK; The Royal London Hospital, Barts Health NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK; Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Queen Mary University London, London, UK.
Background: Studies have shown that the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) is significantly associated with length of stay, in-hospital mortality, and costs in people aged 75 years and older. However, its applicability to hospitalised adults of all ages is unclear. We aimed to examine the association between the HFRS and these three outcomes in a nationally representative sample of adults aged 18 years and older, admitted for emergency hospital care.

Introduction: The 30-day readmission rate for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common performance metric but may be confounded by factors unrelated to quality of care. Our aim was to assess how sociodemographic factors, multimorbidity and frailty impact 30-day readmission risk after COPD hospitalisation, and whether risk adjustment alters interpretation of temporal trends.
Method: This is a retrospective analysis of administra-tive data from October 2017 to June 2023 from Changi General Hospital, Singapore.
