To determine mortality, morbidity, and costs attributable to surgical-site infections (SSIs) in the 1990s.A matched follow-up study of a cohort patients with SSI, one-to-one without SSI.A 415-bed community hospital.255 pairs SSI were on age, procedure, National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System risk index, date surgery, surgeon.Mortality, excess length hospitalization, extra direct SSI; relative for intensive care unit (ICU) admission readmission hospital.Of 255 pairs, 20 infected...
Data for 479 patients were analyzed to assess the impact of methicillin resistance on outcomes with Staphylococcus aureus surgical site infections (SSIs). Patients infected methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA) had a greater 90-day mortality rate than did methicillin-susceptible (MSSA; adjusted odds ratio, 3.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-7.2). MRSA duration hospitalization after infection (median additional days, 5; P<.001), although this was not significant multivariate analysis (P=.11). Median...
We evaluated all surgical site infections (SSI) and postoperative bacteremias secondary to SSI as part of an ongoing active surveillance program at a community hospital. Among 40,191 procedures, we identified 515 patients with 47 bacteremia SSI. Four variables were examined potential predictors for developing SSI: National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance risk index, abdominal surgery, procedures implantable device, the presence Staphylococcus aureus in wounds. Of these 4 variables, only...
In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals set targets for social achievements by 2015 including goals related to maternal and child health, with mixed success. Several initiatives supported these assuring availability of appropriate medicines commodities meet health service targets. To reach new Sustainable 2030, information is needed address policy systems factors improve access lifesaving commodities. We compiled indicator data on 15 reproductive, maternal, newborn, (RMNCH) analyzed them...
Abstract Background: This paper explores the extent of community-level stock-out essential medicines among Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) identifies reasons for consequences medicine stock-outs. Methods: A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted. Five electronic databases were searched with a prespecified strategy grey literature examined, January 2006 - March 2021....
Abstract Background: This paper explores the extent of community-level stock-out essential and program commodities for Maternal, Newborn Child Health (MNCH) among Community Workers (CHWs) in Low- Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), identifies underlying bottlenecks leading to such stock-outs. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted published grey literature. 48 studies containing information on number or percentage CHWs health facilities (HFs) stocked-out, reasons stock-outs at...
In the UK around 10-12% of schoolchildren and 6-10% adults have asthma.In any year, at least one in 10 school children will experience symptoms wheezing.Ci- garette smoke is a major respiratory irritant damp mould homes can precipitate asthma.'Recently, association between air pollution disease has become topical.The pollutants associated most fre- quently with health problems are sulphur dioxide (SO2 -produced during burning fossil fuels from car exhausts),2 ozone, small particulates.3An...
The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) system is outlined and key features benefits described. general progress of DRM in coming to market discussed. Two case studies, “low power HF for urban coverage audio broadcasting” “wide area data broadcasting”, are presented. conclusion looks at the challenges turning into a commercial success.
