Do pneumonia readmissions flagged as potentially preventable by the 3M PPR software have more process of care problems?
Among VA pneumonia readmissions, PPR categorisation did not produce the expected quality of care findings. Either PPR-yes cases are not more preventable, or preventability assessment requires other data collection methods to capture poorly documented processes (eg, direct observation).
Patients with CLP had larger and thicker pterygomaxillary dimensions, and the results imply that careful attention to pterygomaxillary anatomy is needed in patients with CLP undergoing Le Fort I surgery.
