Abstract Background IgE‐mediated food allergy (FA) is a global health concern with substantial individual and societal implications. While diverse intervention strategies have been researched, inconsistencies in reported outcomes limit evaluations of FA treatments. To streamline promote consistent reporting, the Core Outcome Measures for Food Allergy (COMFA) initiative aimed to establish Set (COS) clinical trials observational studies interventions. Methods The project involved review...
Abstract Background Propolis types differ regarding their chemical composition. Objectives To compare patch test results based on Brazilian (Green) propolis with data Chinese (poplar‐type) propolis, and to evaluate the specifications of raw materials used for PT preparations. Methods In Information Network Departments Dermatology (IVDK), 1290 consecutive patients were tested (NH400, SmartPractice Europe). Patch reactivity was compared obtained (NA71, Europe) by calculating frequencies...
Abstract Background Hand eczema (HE) is a common and complex skin disease. A uniform set of core outcomes related measures for use in clinical trials lacking, making it difficult to compare results across HE studies. Objective To reach consensus on domains subdomains that should be measured future therapeutic trials.

Background The majority of pancreases, offered in allocation, are discarded. This pancreas underutilization is not well understood yet. Methods We analyzed the detailed allocation protocols all Eurotransplant-registered German whole-pancreas donors (2005–2009; n=1758). Outcome measures included donor characteristics, number refusals per organ, and proportion different refusal reasons whole sample subgroups. Results Thirty-seven percent pancreases were transplanted; among these, 62%...
Abstract Background Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors often suffer from cognitive, physical and mental impairments, known as post-intensive syndrome (PICS). ICU follow-up clinics may improve aftercare of these patients. There is a lack evidence whether or which concept an clinic effective. Within the PINA study, for was developed will be tested in pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT), primarily to evaluate feasibility additionally potential efficacy. Methods/design Design : Pilot RCT...
Most offered pancreases are not transplanted. This study investigates the factors that inform and influence transplant surgeon’s decision to select an pancreas.

Abstract Background In Germany, 70,000–100,000 persons per year suffer from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Despite medical progress, survival rates with good neurological outcome remain low. For many important clinical issues, no or only insufficient evidence randomised trials is available. Therefore, a systemic and standardised acquisition of the treatment course OHCA patients warranted. Study design The German Cardiac Arrest Registry (G-CAR) an observational, prospective,...
