Abstract Background The prospective, multicentre EURECA registry assessed the use of imaging and adoption European Society Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines (GL) in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). Methods Between May 2019 March 2020, 5156 were recruited 73 centres from 24 ESC member countries. GL recommendations was evaluated according to clinical presentation pre-test probability (PTP) obstructive artery disease (CAD). Results mean age population 64 ± 11 years, 60% males, 42% had...
Incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) is a specific type of irritant contact with different severity levels. An internationally accepted instrument to assess the IAD in adults, established diagnostic accuracy, agreement and reliability, needed support clinical practice research. To design Ghent Global Categorization Tool (GLOBIAD) evaluate its psychometric properties. The was based on expert consultation using three‐round Delphi procedure 34 experts from 13 countries. tested photographs,...
Skin tears are acute wounds that frequently misdiagnosed and under-reported. A standardized globally adopted skin tear classification system with supporting evidence for diagnostic validity reliability is required to allow assessment reporting in a consistent way.
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify characteristics independently associated with a higher risk developing skin damage because incontinence [incontinence‐associated dermatitis ( IAD ) category 2] in nursing home residents. As part larger randomised controlled trial, incidence monitored for 1 month sample 381 incontinent residents using validated Severity Categorisation Tool. Data on demographical, physical, functional and psychological were collected. overall (category 1–2) 30·0%,...
Long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was described in patients recovering from COVID-19, with dyspnea being a frequent symptom. Data regarding the potential mechanisms of long COVID remain scarce. We investigated presence subclinical cardiac dysfunction, assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), recovered COVID-19 or without dyspnea, after exclusion previous cardiopulmonary diseases. A total 310 consecutive were prospectively included. Of those, 66 (mean age 51.3 ± 11.1 years,...
The aim of this study was to design and evaluate the reliability Ghent Global incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) Monitoring Tool (GLOBIAD‐M). tool designed based on internationally validated IAD Categorisation (GLOBIAD). After designing validation by experts, one trained researcher carried out 36 observations 9 patients affected with IAD. Photographs lesions were independently assessed a second researcher. Measures for inter‐rater agreement ( p o ) [Cohen's Kappa (ĸ) intra‐class...
This study protocol describes the methodology for development of a core set outcomes and measurements incontinence-associated dermatitis.Incontinence is widespread disorder with an important impact on quality life. One most common complications dermatitis, resulting from chemical physical irritation skin barrier, triggering inflammation damage. Managing dermatitis challenge nurses. Several interventions have been assessed in clinical trials, but heterogeneity complicates comparability...
Background: The association of known cardiovascular risk factors with poor prognosis coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been recently emphasized. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is considered a modifier in the primary prevention disease. We hypothesized that absence CAC might have an additional predictive value for improved outcome hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods: prospectively included 310 consecutive patients COVID-19. Thirty history coronary were excluded....
The aims of this trial were as follows: (1) to compare the (cost-) effectiveness a turning and repositioning system an algorithm for tailored vs. usual care improve reposition frequency in patients at risk; (2) standardized incontinence care.Pressure ulcers are serious common problem hospitalized patients. In many countries, pressure recognized national health issue governments designate one most important sentinel events care. International guidelines recommend use redistributing support...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged as a worldwide health crisis, overwhelming healthcare systems. Elevated cardiac troponin T (cTn T) at admission was associated with increased in-hospital mortality. However, data addressing the role of cTn in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) COVID-19 are scarce. Therefore, we assessed baseline and kinetics for MACE mortality prediction COVID-19.Three hundred ten patients were included prospectively. One eight excluded due to incomplete...
The best way to prevent and treat diaper dermatitis (nappy rash) in babies has been the topic of research for decades. However this skin problem can also occur adults, where it is known as incontinence‐associated (IAD). It a specific type irritant contact ‐ eczema caused when with something causes irritation (rather than an allergy), case prolonged urine or faeces. hard know exactly how many people suffer from IAD there not one set internationally agreed diagnostic criteria (e.g. list...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between birth weight and calcaneal bone stiffness in a large sample Belgian, healthy, preadolescent children. Participants were 827 children (3.6–11.2 years, 51.6 % boys) from Belgian cohort IDEFICS study. Birth obtained using parental questionnaire, quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements performed determine broadband attenuation (BUA), speed sound (SOS), index (SI) Lunar Achilles device. Average weights 3435.7 ± 512.0 g for boys...
This study investigates differences and associations between urinary mineral concentrations calcaneal bone measures assessed by quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) in 4322 children (3.1–11.9 years, 50.6% boys) from seven European countries. Urinary QUS parameters differed significantly across Clustering revealed a lower stiffness index (SI) with low medium concentrations, higher SI high concentrations. sodium (uNa) was positively correlated calcium (uCa), associated broadband ultrasound...
