siblings, or other parental susceptibility markers. Trial registration Trial NL5172 (NTR5312), 2015-07-20.
The current study is unique in targeting families with twin preschoolers, providing proof of principle that coaching parents with video-feedback promotes parental sensitive limit-setting to both children. It remains to be seen whether this finding can be replicated in families with non-twin siblings, or other parental susceptibility markers. Trial registration Trial NL5172 (NTR5312), 2015-07-20.
Compliance with the surviving sepsis campaign (SSC) guidelines (C
) is a key factor affecting the effects of sepsis treatment. We designed this study to investigate the relationships of the structure indicators of ICU on 3 and 6-h C
in China.
A total of 1854 hospitals were enrolled in a survey, led by the China National Critical Care Quality Control Center (China-NCCQC) from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018. Tween80 We investigated the 1854 hospitals' 3 and 6-h C
, including compliance with each specific measure of the 3-h and 6-h SSC bundles. We also investigated the actual level of the structure indicators of ICU, released by China-NCCQC in 2015.The outcomes were in adherence with the SSC guidelines (2016). Monitoring indicators included 3 and 6-h C
.
In the subgroup, the rate of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was the highest, and the rate of CVP and ScvO2 measurement was the lowest among the items of 3 and 6-h C
. Structure indicators related to 3 and 6-h C
include the predicted mortality rate and the standardized mortality ratio (SMR). The relationships between 3 and 6-h C
and the proportion of ICU in total inpatient bed occupancy, the proportion of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score ≥ 15 in all ICU patients were uncertain. There was no relationship of 3 and 6-h C
with the proportion of ICU patients among total inpatients.
Structure indicators influencing 3 and 6-h C
in China are the predicted mortality rate and the standardized mortality rate.

Drug use evaluation is a structured, methodological, and criteria-based drug assessment system that helps to evaluate the actual trend of drug use in a particular setting. If drug prescription practices are inappropriate, need to examine the patterns of drug use is necessary to change prescribing patterns accordingly. Therefore, this review aimed to determine the drug prescription pattern in public health facilities found in Ethiopia using prescribing indicators developed by the World Health Organization.
This review was conducted as per the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guideline. Extensive searching to identify articles was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Research Gate, Africa Journal of Online, and Google scholar. Finally, 10 eligible articles were selected for analysis based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The median value, as well as the 25th and 75th percentiles for each WHO prescribing indicator, were computed.
The pooled median valerefore, public health facilities should take appropriate measures for improving the prescription patterns as per the recommendation set by the World Health Organization.
Several studies on community populations found that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with higher risk for total incident cancer with a predisposition for specific types of cancer. These findings have never been analyzed in patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD). We assessed prevalence/incidence and factors related to the development of cancer in a large cohort of these patients and evaluate whether MetS and its components were associated with cancer independent of traditional markers of inflammation.
Between March 2014 and April 2016, 474 patients with RMD involved in a cardiovascular primary prevention program were consecutively recruited into this ambispective (combination of retrospective/prospective) study. They underwent clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic evaluations. MetS was diagnosed according to the ATPIII criteria.
Duration of follow-up was 42 [18-60] months. Patients with a diagnosis of cancer (made before recruitment or during follow-up) were 46 (9.7%). Cancer was diagnosed in 22/76 patients (29%) with MetS and in 24/398 patients (6%, p < 0.001) without MetS; nearly two thirds of malignancies belonged to those traditionally related to MetS. MetS was the strongest cancer risk factor. Cancer was positively associated with the number of MetS components identified in each patient. Beyond MetS, cancer was associated to older age and increased inflammatory disease activity; this information allowed to build a simple performance indicator highly sensitive for cancer development.
In light of our results, an increasingly accurate assessment of MetS would be required in patients with RMD as potential measure of clinical outcomes including the risk of cancer.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of an early extubation strategy on outcomes following complete repair of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and hypoplastic pulmonary artery.
One hundred thirteen patients undergoing complete repair surgery of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and hypoplastic pulmonary artery between 2016 and 2018 were included in our retrospective propensity-score matched study. Propensity score matching was conducted in 1 to 2 ratio to balance the covariables impacting on clinical outcomes between groups. The primary outcomes were defined as length of intensive care unit stay, postoperative length of hospital stay and in-hospital medical cost. The secondary outcomes included postoperative complications such as re-intubation, re-exploration, in-hospital mortality, arrhythmia and etc.. In addition, blood product consumption were also abstracted.
Compared with matched controls, patients in the early extubation group were demonstrated with a significant reduced length of intensive care unit stay (Median 1.
