A UCLA research team has created the Comorbid Operative Risk Evaluation (CORE) score to better account for the role chronic illness plays in patient's risk of mortality after operation, allowing surgeons to adjust to patients' pre-existing conditions and more easily determine mortality risk.

The study, published online in the journal BMJ Quality and Safety, said that 85 per cent of these errors are likely preventable and underscore the need for new approaches to improving surveillance to avoid these mistakes from happening in the first place. ​

Diagnostic errors are likely to be occurring in as many as 1 in every 14 (7 per cent) hospital patients which requires new approaches to medical surveillance, a new study has stressed.

Researchers found that post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) symptoms persist in a significant number of both SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative emergency department patients, highlighting the non-specific nature of the WHO’s PCC criteria.

Harmful diagnostic errors may be occurring in as many as 1 in every 14 (7%) hospital patients-;at least those receiving general medical care-;suggest the findings of a single center study in the US, published online in the journal BMJ Quality & Safety.

Study reveals that more than one-third of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients experience long-COVID symptoms three months after an emergency department visit, with significant overlap in symptoms observed among negative patients.
