    2000 NHAMCS MICRO-DATA FILE DOCUMENTATION PAGE 1 ABSTRACT This material provides documentation for users of the micro-data files of the 2000 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS). The NHAMCS is a national probability sample survey of visits to hospital outpatient and emergency departments, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The survey is a component of the National Health Care Survey, which measures health care utilization across a variety of health care providers. There are two micro-data files produced from the NHAMCS, one for outpatient department records and one for emergency department records. Section I of this documentation, “Description of the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey,” includes information on the scope of the survey, the sample, field activities, data collection procedures, medical coding procedures, and population estimates. Section II provides detailed descriptions of the contents of each file’s data record by location. Section III contains marginal data for selected items on each file. The appendixes contain sampling errors, instructions and definitions for completing the Patient Record forms, and lists of codes used in the survey.

  • Synergistic and Antagonistic Drug Interactions in the Treatment
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Synergistic and antagonistic drug interactions in the treatment of systemic fungal infections Morgan A Wambaugh, Steven T Denham, Magali Ayala, Brianna Brammer, Miekan A Stonhill, Jessica CS Brown* Division of Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology Department, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, United States Abstract Invasive fungal infections cause 1.6 million deaths annually, primarily in immunocompromised individuals. Mortality rates are as high as 90% due to limited treatments. The azole class antifungal, fluconazole, is widely available and has multi-species activity but only inhibits growth instead of killing fungal cells, necessitating long treatments. To improve treatment, we used our novel high-throughput method, the overlap2 method (O2M) to identify drugs that interact with fluconazole, either increasing or decreasing efficacy. We identified 40 molecules that act synergistically (amplify activity) and 19 molecules that act antagonistically (decrease efficacy) when combined with fluconazole. We found that critical frontline beta-lactam antibiotics antagonize fluconazole activity. A promising fluconazole-synergizing anticholinergic drug, dicyclomine, increases fungal cell permeability and inhibits nutrient intake when combined with fluconazole. In vivo, this combination doubled the time-to-endpoint of mice with Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis. Thus, our ability to rapidly identify synergistic and antagonistic drug interactions can potentially alter the patient outcomes. *For correspondence: Introduction [email protected] Invasive fungal infections are an increasing problem worldwide, contributing to 1.6 million deaths annually (Almeida et al., 2019; Bongomin et al., 2017; Brown et al., 2012). These problematic Competing interests: The infections are difficult to treat for many reasons. Delayed diagnoses, the paucity and toxicity of anti- authors declare that no fungal drugs, and the already immunocompromised state of many patients result in mortality rates competing interests exist.
