Electronic cigarettes (EC) and heated tobacco products (HTP) have been introduced in the global market as safer nicotine delivery systems; however, there is skepticism about their link to smoking long-term risks. The aim of this study was evaluate prevalence, patterns, determinants EC/HTP use Greece.

OBJECTIVE Complications have been used extensively to facilitate evaluation of craniosynostosis practice. However, description complications tends be nonstandardized, making comparison difficult. The authors propose a new pragmatic classification that relies on prospective data collection, is geared capture significant morbidity as well any "near misses" in systematic fashion, and can quality improvement tool. METHODS Data for all patients undergoing surgery nonsyndromic between 2010 2015...

Abstract Purpose Evidence exists, in CNS germinomas and medulloblastomas (MB), that patient sex significantly influences incidence outcome. The role of genotype other paediatric tumours remains unclear. This study sought to examine the tumour overall survival (OS). Methods Age-adjusted OS rates were collected from Surveillance Epidemiology End Result (SEER) registry between 2000 2011 for common (<=19 years) tumours: pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma (GBM),...

To investigate the relationship between ICU admission blood lactate, base excess, and mortality to explore effect of incorporating lactate into Pediatric Index Mortality.Retrospective cohort study based on data prospectively collected every PICU submitted U.K. Intensive Care Audit Network Australia New Zealand Registry.Thirty-three PICUs in United Kingdom/Republic Ireland nine 20 general ICUs Zealand.All admissions January 1, 2012, December 31, 2015.None.One hundred twenty-three thousand two...

Objective Inpatient Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) ethnicity data are available but not always collected and quality can be unreliable. This may have implications when assessing outcomes by ethnicity. An alternative method for assigning is using naming algorithms. We investigate if the association between cancer incidence varied dependent on how ethnic group was assigned. Design Population-based registry cohort study. Setting Yorkshire, UK. Participants Cancer registrations from 1998 to...

Enteroviruses and human parechoviruses usually cause mild, self-limiting illnesses in children but can occasionally severe disease. During 2010-2014, 104 the United Kingdom Republic of Ireland were admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit with enterovirus parechovirus infection; 40% had neurologic symptoms, 20% respiratory failure, 16% cardiac complications 11% septic shock. Annual number cases incidence increased 5-year period, from 0.6/1000 admissions (12 cases) 2010 1.8/1000 (36 2014....

Human behavior is implicated in most road accidents. The current study examined drivers’ that interferes with decision making and reaction time to an incidence. Adults (≥17 years-old) participated a questionnaire-based survey for driver’s behavior. Dataset was weighed according sex, age education based on the 2011 census. Differences between groups were assessed Chi-squared tests while logistic regression models used identify characteristics specific behaviors. A total 1601 adults survey—48%...

Introduction A universal childhood influenza vaccination programme was introduced in the UK September 2013. We examine impact of gradual introduction this on influenza-related paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission rates England. Methods extracted data all admissions to PICUs England resident children aged 0–15 years old between October 2003 and March 2017 from Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) database. estimated influenza-associated PICU per 100 000 by age group,...

The current study is the first to examine perceptions of Greek public towards selected health risks and prioritize perceived risk importance needs be addressed for promotion. Participants were asked consider individual top three most important risks. Data collection took place on February 2020 in a representative sample adult population. Differences between groups assessed with Chi-square tests. Logistic regression models used identify based participants’ characteristics. Analysis was...

Aims & Objectives: To better understand how extracorporeal methods of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are being employed across the UK and Republic Ireland given paucity high level evidence need for future randomised controlled trials. Methods Data on a subset children receiving CRRT collected as voluntary additional audit dataset were abstracted from Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet). All admissions by volunteer PICUs between April 2015 October 2017 reviewed....

Aims & Objectives: High lactate and base excess (BE) values are associated with higher mortality in adult paediatric intensive care units. The absolute value of BE is currently used the calculation Paediatric Index Mortality (PIM). We investigated association between determined which more accurately predicts mortality. Methods Data were abstracted from UK Republic Ireland Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) Australian New Zealand Registry (ANZPICR), for all admissions 1st January 2012...

Aims & Objectives: Paediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2) is used as a mortality predictor in PICU and includes absolute base excess (BE) along with other clinical physiological variables. Small scale studies have shown that lactate better than (BE). We investigated the effect on PIM2 a) utilising venous samples, which historically been excluded, b) adding to model, or without BE, c) separate terms for positive negative d) treatment missing values. Methods Data were abstracted from UK...

Aims & Objectives: Paediatric cardiac arrest (CA) is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Despite significant advances in post-arrest intensive care, it unclear who will benefit from invasive interventions considerable prognostic uncertainty remains. We therefore aimed to identify factors order inform survival prediction within 1 hour after admission paediatric care units (PICU). Methods used data prospectively collected as part of the Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) on...

The impact of patient gender in germinomas and medulloblastomas is a well-documented factor influencing incidence outcome these tumours, which may be due to differential susceptibility tumourogenesis treatment response between the genders. role phenotype other paediatric CNS tumours not as distinct.
