Filter by:The two scientific societies FADOI and SIIA have decided to start a collaborative study protocol that, through the application of a simple and homogeneous method to diagnose orthostatic hypotension, aims to estimate prevalence, conditions associates and outcomes in a cohort of patients admitted to Internal Medicine Departments and with known or newly diagnosed arterial hypertension.
Taking into account the high number of COVID-19 patients managed in Italian Internal Medicine, Fadoi Foundation (Italian Scientific Society of Internal Medicine) promotes a national retrospective observational study in patients treated with Remdesivir, analyzing the characteristics of patients and their clinical outcome during hospitalization, and thus providing real-life information potentially useful to integrate the evidence produced by studies conducted under experimental conditions and available in the literature.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the current management approach with "intermediate" or "therapeutic" doses of tinzaparin for thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized patients, non on ICU organ support, with confirmed COVID-19.
The real-world electronic health records (EHR) were derived from the hospitalization of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) of Sun Yat-sen University from 1998-2020 to investigate the ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment activities.
This study is looking for the predictors of the survival or rehospitalization of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Participants who are discharged from an acute heart failure hospitalization are enrolled.
The RECOVER SUS-BRASIL network, made up of excellent academic and research institutions, was formed in response to the emergence of unprecedented public health related to SARS-CoV-2. The Network's objectives are the production of scientific knowledge, the technical and scientific strengthening of participating centers, the sharing of information and experiences with other assistance services and the generation of evidence for public health policies in Brazil. The present proposal aims to increase the magnitude of the Network, proposing two studies to assess the epidemic of COVID-19 in Brazil. The first study deals with the establishment of a prospective cohort of patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Through using standardized data collection procedures, biological samples and biomarkers, this study will be able to describe clinical presentation, severity, risk factors for worsening of the disease. Multiple clinical outcomes of severity of disease, organ dysfunction, hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, hospital readmission and early post-discharge death. Will be biomarkers of inflammation, cellular and humoral immunity were also evaluated to study their association with clinical outcomes, variability of SARS-CoV-2 and the development of immunity in infected individuals through the detection and titration of neutralizing antibodies anti-SARS-CoV-2. The second study 2 will evaluate the COVID-19 epidemic in people living with HIV / AIDS, using SUS databases, such as SIM, SICLOM and SISCEL. This study is particularly relevant since on the one hand it includes a population potentially at greater risk of developing severe forms of the disease, given their underlying condition, as, on the other hand, they are exposed chronically to drugs that could potentially have an effect on SARS-CoV-2. Finally, a major objective of RECOVER SUS-BRASIL is integrate technical and scientific capacities generating scientific production of high relevance and impact and strengthening health and science throughout the country.
This feasibility study's aim is to determine the effectiveness of lavender oil aromatherapy on quality and duration of sleep in hospitalized adult patients
To evaluate whether a digital support and communication platform for COPD patients after 6 months provides: 1. Decreased breathlessness on the basis of modified medical research council dyspnea scale [mMRC] 2. Improved health status and symptom relief based on COPD assessment scale [CAT] 3. Improved quality of life based on EQ-5D 4. Reduction in the number of incidents, hospital nights, the number of hospitalizations, outpatient contacts or the number of deaths related to COPD 5. A change in the classification of COPD severity based on GOLD A-D
Each investigator will have to collect data for 50 hospitalized patients in the Internal Medicine wards. If the center is randomized to Intentional Rounding, the staff of nurses and OSS will have to implement the new care strategy.
Older adults with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) comprise approximately 25% of hospitalized older adults. These individuals are at increased risk for functional decline, delirium, falls, behavioral symptoms associated with dementia (BPSD) and longer lengths of stay. Physical activity during hospitalization (e.g., mobility,bathing, dressing) has a positive impact on older adults including prevention of functional decline, less pain, less delirium, less BPSD, fewer falls, shorter length of stay and decreased unplanned hospital readmissions. Despite known benefits, physical activity is not routinely encouraged and older hospitalized patients spend over 80% of their acute care stay in bed. Challenges to increasing physical activity among older patients with ADRD include environment and policy issues (e.g., lack of access to areas to walk); lack of knowledge among nurses on how to evaluate, prevent and manage delirium and BPSD; inappropriate use of tethers; beliefs among patients, families, and nurses that bed rests helps recovery and prevents falls; and lack of motivation/willingness of patients to get out of bed. To increase physical activity and prevent functional decline while hospitalized we developed Function Focused Care for Acute Care (FFC-AC-EIT) for patients with ADRD. Implementation of FFC-AC-EIT changes how care is provided by having nurses teach, cue, and help patients with ADRD engage in physical activity during all care interactions. FFC-AC-EIT was developed using a social ecological model, social cognitive theory and the Evidence Integration Triangle. It involves a four-step approach that includes: (1) Environment and Policy Assessments; (2) Education; (3) Establishing Patient Goals; and (4) Mentoring and Motivating of Staff, Patients and Families. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of FFC-AC-EIT within 12 hospitals in Maryland and Pennsylvania randomized to FFC-AC-EIT or Function Focused Care Education Only (EO) with 50 patients recruited per hospital (total sample 600 patients). Aim 1 will focus on efficacy at the patient level based primarily on physical activity, function, and participation in function focused care, and secondarily on delirium, BPSD, pain, falls, use of tethers, and length of stay; and all of these outcomes (except length of stay and tethers) along with emergency room visits, re-hospitalizations and new long term care admissions at 1, 6 and 12 months post discharge; and at the unit level the aim is to evaluate the impact of FFC-AC-EIT on policies and environments that facilitate function and physical activity at 6, 12 and 18 months post implementation. Hospitals randomized to FFC-AC-EIT will be compared with those randomized to Function Focused Care Education Only (EO). Aim 2 will evaluate the feasibility, based on treatment fidelity (delivery, receipt, enactment)136, and relative cost and cost savings of FFC-AC-EIT versus EO. Findings will address several prioritized areas of research: a focus on ADRD; improving physical function; and training of hospital staff and will demonstrate efficacy of an approach to care for patients with ADRD that can be disseminated and implemented across all acute care facilities.
