Delivery time factor (DTF) is a new parameter introduced by the RayStation treatment planning system for tomotherapy treatment planning. This study investigated the effects of this factor on various t...
To clarify the characteristics of intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation requiring IOL suture or intraocular scleral fixation....
This retrospective consecutive case series included 21 eyes (21 patients) who required sutured or sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation following IOL extraction owing to IOL dislocation at the outpatie...
We included 21 eyes of 21 patients who required IOL suture or intrascleral fixation for IOL dislocation at our clinic from January to December 2019 were included. The most common background disease wa...
In this study, all 21 cases represented late IOL dislocations occurring after 3 months postoperatively. Among these late IOL dislocation cases, IOL dislocation occurred in a short-medium period of tim...
Cholecystectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in Germany and is performed as a treatment of acute cholecystitis (guideline S3 IIIB.8) and after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancr...
Methodologically, a retrospective analysis based on routine billing data from 84 Helios Group hospitals from 2016 and 2022, with a total of 45 393 included cases, was applied. The guideline adherence ...
Results show the guideline updates led to a statistically significant increase in the proportion of cholecystectomy performed in a timely manner (guideline S3 IIIB.8: increase from 43% to 49%, p<0.001...
As possible reasons for non-adherence, medical factors such as advanced age, multimorbidity and frailty could be identified. Analyses of structural factors revealed that hospitals in very rural region...
Rotator cuff pathology in competitive athletes is common and may produce chronic symptoms and joint disability, impairing sports participation and leading to premature retirement. Athletes are a high-...
To investigate the time-dependent effects of traditional risk factors on functional disability in all-cause mortality post-stroke, we evaluated data from a long-term stroke cohort. Baseline cerebrovas...
A stroke or a cerebrovascular accident is a common cause of death and a leading cause of long-term, severe disability in both developed and developing countries. The most recent global burden of disea...
Data was gathered from patient files in a hospital using a retrospective study methodology, spanning the period from September 2018 to September 2020. R 3.4.0 statistical software and STATA version 14...
The final model that was fitted was the log-logistic AFT model. A statistically significant correlation was defined as having a p value of less than 0.05 and the accelerated factor (γ) with its 95% co...
The shortened timing of death was significantly predicted by age, hypertension, and baseline complications. In light of the study's findings, health administrators and caregivers should work to improv...
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a serious complication after myocardial infarction. However, due to its asymptomatic nature, early detection is challenging. We aimed to explore the differences in c...
We collected data from 153 patients who were diagnosed with LVT after myocardial infarction at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2013 to December 2022. Baseline information, i...
For acute to subacute phase thrombus patients: C-reactive protein levels (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.918-0.983, p = 0.003) were significantly associated with thrombus resolution. For chronic phase thrombus p...
Higher levels of CRP were associated with lower likelihood of LVT resolution in acute phase myocardial infarction; Anticoagulant therapy is still needed for thrombus in the chronic stage of myocardial...
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), is a preventable leading cause of blindness in infants and is a condition in which the immature retina experiences abnormal blood vessel growth. The development of RO...
This historical cohort study utilized data from the hospital records of all newborns referred to the ROP department of Farabi Hospital (from 2017 to 2021) and the NICU records of infants referred from...
A total of 338 cases, including 676 eyes, were evaluated. The mean GA and BW of the study group were 31.59 ± 2.39 weeks and 1656.72 ± 453.80 g, respectively. According to the criteria of minimal depth...
Our findings indicated that the duration of ventilation, GA, duration of oxygen supplementation, bilirubin levels, duration of antibiotic administration, duration of TPN, mother age, birth order, numb...
Globally, reduction of patient waiting time has been identified as one of the major characteristics of a functional health system. In South Africa, 83% of the general population visiting primary healt...
This scoping review was guided by Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. The primary literature search of peer-reviewed and review articles was achieved through PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, ...
From the initial 250 records screened, nine studies were eligible for inclusion in this scoping review. Seven papers identified the factors contributing to waiting time, and five papers mentioned effe...
Our results revealed that the patients, staff, and administrative systems all contribute to long waiting times within the PHC facilities. Patient waiting times recorded a wider and more evenly spread ...
The contemporary management of mass casualty incidents (MCIs) relies on the effective application of predetermined, dedicated response plans based on current best evidence. Currently, there is limited...
This retrospective study focused on simulated casualties in a series of simulated MCIs Full Scale Exercises. START triage was the triage method of choice. For each Full-Scale Exercise (FSEx), collecte...
Among the 1090 casualties included in the primary analysis, 912 (83.6%) were correctly triaged, 137 (12.6%) were overtriaged, and 41 (3.7%) were undertriaged. The multinomial regression model indicate...
Understanding the predictors influencing triage and scene management decision-making by healthcare professionals responding to a mass casualty may facilitate the development of tailored training pathw...
