Windy weather and low humidity are associated with an increased number of hospital admissions for acute pain and sickle cell disease in an urban environment with a maritime temperate climate

2010-06-25T11:34:04Z

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterised by intermittent episodes of acute severe pain, related to vaso-occlusion. Environmental factors are thought to play an important role, and studies in tropical countries have suggested that cold and rainy seasons are associated with increased episodes of acute pain. We have studied retrospectively the number of admissions with acute pain and SCD to King's ...

Transient probabilities for queues with applications to hospital waiting list management

2010-06-25T11:34:04Z

In this paper we study queuing systems within the NHS. Recently imposed government performance targets lead NHS executives to investigate and instigate alternative management strategies, thereby imposing structural changes on the queues. Under such circumstances, it is most unlikely that such systems are in equilibrium. It is crucial, in our opinion, to recognise this state of affairs in order to ...

Forecasting demand of emergency care

2010-06-25T11:34:04Z

This paper describes a model that can forecast the daily number of occupied beds due to emergency admissions in an acute hospital. Out of sample forecasts 32 day days in advance. have an RMS error of 3% of the mean number of beds used for emergency admissions. We find that the number of occupied beds due to emergency admissions is related to both air temperature and PHLS data on influenza like ill...
