An evaluation of multiphasic screening on admission to hospital. Precis of a report to the National Health and Medical Research Council.
A controlled study of admission multiphasic screening (AMS) at a large general hospital showed that AMS had no significant effect on a variety of indices of inpatient progress. Owing to a 64% increase in estimated cost of investigations with AMS, the total hospital admission cost was increased by approximately 5%. Under the conditions of this study, AMS added to the cost of hospitalization without associated evidence of benefit to the patient.
Evaluation of benefits of screening tests done immediately on admission to hospital.
Evidence was sought of improved inpatient progress and reduced hospital costs when a battery of investigations were done at the time a patient was admitted to hospital. The outcome in 500 admission-tested patients was compared with that in two other groups of 500 control patients. No significant differences were found among the three groups in a variety of indices of inpatient progress. Because of an estimated 64% increase in the cost of investigating inpatients with admission testing, the total cost of hospital care was increased by about 5%. Under the conditions of this study, admission testing added to the cost of hospitalization, without associated evidence of benefit to the patient.

Right-side aortic arch with aneurysm of aberrant left subclavian artery: MR imaging appearance.
Reports of aneurysms of the subclavian artery in both normal and anomalous aortic arches have been rare. The authors describe a patient with a right-side aortic arch and an aneurysm of the aberrant left subclavian artery, which, to the authors' knowledge, is a previously unreported association. At presentation, the aneurysm appeared as a calcified left superior mediastinal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging enabled preoperative diagnosis and guided surgical planning.
