Purpose: To provide effective palliative care, it is important to predict not only patients' life expectancy but their discharge status at a time of inpatient admission to a hospice care facility. This study was aimed to identify meaningful life expectancy indicators that can be used to predict patients' discharge status on admission to the facility. Methods: Among 568 patients who were admitted to the hospice ward of P hospital from April 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017, 377 terminal cancer patients were selected. This retrospective cohort study was performed by using performance status, symptoms and signs, socioeconomic status, laboratory findings on admission. Results: Alive discharge was associated with a good performance status that was measured with the Karnofsky and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scales and the Global health and Mental status. Less anorexia, dyspnea, dysphagia and fatigue were also associated with symptoms and signs. Associated laboratory findings were close to normal Complete Blood Cell (CBC) count, Liver Function Test (LFT) and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), ECOG, Global health, Mental status, anorexia, dyspnea, dysphagia, fatigue, CBC, LFT, BUN are meaningful indicators when predicting discharge status for inpatients. Further investigation is warranted.

The current research focused on the needs for discharge education and the educational performance of nurses perceived by mothers of premature infants. The subjects for the current research were 54 mothers of premature infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit at K general hospital in G metropolitan city. The data was collected between June 9, 2014 and September 30, 2014 through self-recording surveys. The needs for discharge education were $4.21{\pm}0.60$ and the perceived educational performance of nurses was $3.95{\pm}0.73$. There was a significant difference between the needs for discharge education and the perceived educational performance in abnormal symptom monitoring and management ($0.55{\pm}0.97$, p=0.001), excrement management ($0.45{\pm}1.11$, p=0.004) and growth development ($0.41{\pm}1.08$, p=0.007). The needs for discharge education was significantly different according to delivery type (vaginal delivery: $4.41{\pm}0.47$, caesarean section: $4.03{\pm}0.47$, p=0.040) and birth order (first: $4.37{\pm}0.53$, second: $4.25{\pm}0.51$, over third: $3.75{\pm}0.72$, p=0.031). Perceived educational performance of nurses was significantly different according to baby sitter (yes: $4.15{\pm}0.66$, no: $3.48{\pm}0.67$, p=0.002). ]

We experienced a female patient with intramural hematoma of the aorta. This patient had a severe anterior chest pain radiating to interscapular area with choking sensation. CT revealed a intramural hematoma of the thoracic aorta and a part of the abdominal aorta but there was no evidence of intimal tearing. We did the eme gency operation under hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion. Ascending aorta was replaced and coronary artery bypass graft was done because of intimal tearing of the ostium of right coronary artery. She was discharged without any significant complication. We reported this case with consideration about necessity of emergency operation for intramural hematoma of the thoracic aorta.
