DOI: 10.1002/hec.3557
Abstract: In this paper, we extend the 4-random-component closed skew-normal stochastic frontier model by including exogenous determinants of hospital persistent (long-run) and transient (short-run) inefficiency, separated from unobserved heterogeneity. We apply this new model to a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/shk.0000000000002005
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background: Thrombocytopenia (TP), a common occurrence among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), is significantly associated with prolonged ventilator use, prolonged ICU stay, and increased mortality. The duration of TP serves as… read more here.

DOI: 10.5414/cn110926
Abstract: BACKGROUND The clinical outcomes and differential predictive factors for transient and persistent sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) currently remain unclear. Therefore, using a large international database, this study aimed to compare the in-hospital mortality outcomes and determine… read more here.
