Background: Compliance with the World Health Organization (WHO) surgical safety checklist may reduce preventable adverse events. However, compliance be difficult to implement in Thailand. This study was conducted examine WHO at a Thai university hospital. Methods: A descriptive among 4,340 patients undergoing surgery nine departments from March August 2009. The rates were computed. Results: highest rate (91.4%) during sign-in period patients' confirmation of their identity, operative site,...
The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved quickly, with different variants of concern resulting in the need for countries to offer booster vaccinations. Although studies have assessed homologous schedules detail, effectiveness heterologous vaccine against severity and mortality newer remains be explored fully.Utilizing a Hospital Information System established Chiang Mai, Thailand, we conducted cohort study by linking patient-level data on laboratory-confirmed cases national immunization records,...
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved quickly, with numerous waves of different variants concern resulting in the need for countries to offer continued protection through booster vaccination. To ensure adequate vaccination coverage, Thailand proactively adopted heterologous schedules. While randomised controlled trials have assessed homologous schedules detail, limited data been reported vaccine effectiveness (VE).Utilising a unique active surveillance network...
Overcrowding in emergency departments (EDs) due to injured patients who do not need urgent treatment can lead less efficacious healthcare outcomes for those that do. The trauma referral audit (TRA) was developed support medical staff and ensure the receive timely efficiently. Data on 14,399 referred Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital between 2007 2017 were analyzed examine impact of full TRA program implemented at end 2010. Injury severity measured by using injury score (ISS) whereby a > 9...
Background . Although the advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) over open are immediately obvious and appreciated, several patients need a postoperative hospital stay more than 24 hours. Thus, predictive factors for this longer to be investigated. The aim study was identify causes long after LC. Methods This is retrospective cohort with 500 successful elective LC being included in analysis. Short defined as discharged within hours operation, whereas operation. Results Using...
Abstract The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved quickly, with numerous waves of different variants concern resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality globally. With the rapid availability vaccines, Thailand responded a robust campaign to protect those at highest risk first, followed by population level protection. To ensure adequate vaccination coverage, agility was required, proactively adopted heterologous schedules manage vaccine availability. While randomised...

The objective of this study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01351506) was to identify the threshold level fluid accumulation measured by acute body weight (BW) change during first week in a general surgical intensive care unit (ICU), which is associated with ICU mortality and other adverse outcomes.Four hundred sixty-five patients were prospectively followed for 28-day period. maximum BW evaluated percentage from admission (Max%ΔBW). Daily screening events recorded. cutoff point Max%ΔBW on defined...
Trauma team activation (TTA) is thought to be essential for advanced and specialized care of very severely injured patients. However, non-specific TTA criteria may result in overtriage that consumes valuable resources or endanger patients need secondary undertriage. Consequently, criterion standard definitions calculate the accuracy various protocols are required research quality assurance purposes. Recently, several groups suggested a list conditions when trauma considered initial emergency...
The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved quickly, with variants of concern resulting in the need to offer booster vaccinations. Unfortunately, uptake been slow and vaccine response shown wane over time. Therefore, it's critical evaluate role vaccinations on outcomes newer sub-lineages omicron.Utilising a Hospital Information System established Chiang Mai, Thailand, we conducted cohort study by linking patient-level data laboratory-confirmed cases national immunization records, during BA.2 BA.4/BA.5...
