Filter by:The SPARTA study is a prospective multicenter observational trial in the Netherlands with the aim of identifying the best clinical care in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoidal haemorrhage. Differences in outcome between surgical treatment and endovascular treatment will be explored. Furthermore, cost effectiveness and radiological prognostic factors will be examined.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on self-management of treatment regimen, medication adherence, and patient outcomes in adult kidney transplant recipients between 3 months and 6 months after kidney transplant in the transplant outpatient clinic. Design: The research is a single-centered, single-blind, parallel and 1:1 randomized active comparative experimental study. Method: A total of 80 individuals, of the 40 in the control group and 40 in the intervention group, will be included in the study. Motivational interview sessions for the intervention group will be held 3 times between 15-30 minutes with an interval of 10 days. The control group will be given routine care (approximately 1 hour of face-to-face standard training) by the nurse educator. Within the research pattern, intervention and control groups will be applied pre-test at the first interview and post test after one month. In addition, follow-up test will be performed 3th month. The data will be obtained using the Self-Management Scale in Kidney Transplant Recipients, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for self-care and VAS for medication adherence. In the study, Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials- SPIRIT(2013) and CONSORT 2010 (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) were used.
By Jan 7, 2020, Chinese scientists had isolated a novel coronavirus, from patients with virus-infected pneumonia. The WHO designated later this virus as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). This exponential pandemic coronavirus infection is responsible for severe forms in 15 to 20%, for critical ill requiring ventilation in 5% and for mortality in 2%. Algeria was part of the 13 top priority countries identified by WHO based on their direct links and volume of travel to the infected provinces in China. It is known that some predisposing conditions lead to a worse outcome with coronavirus. In China, the overall case-fatality rate was 2.3%, but was higher in patients with diabetes (7.3%). In Italy, the most common comorbidities associated with death from COVID-19 were hypertension (73.8%) and diabetes (33.9%). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests diabetes is the most common comorbidity in COVID-19 cases. In the largest cohort NHS England study, death from COVID-19 was strongly associated with uncontrolled diabetes (after full adjustment, HR 2.36). The West Algerian CORODIAB-13 study aims is (1) to assess the prevalence of diabetes among hospitalized patients with Covid-19, (2) to describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with diabetes, and (3) to identify the parameters specific to the diabetic which are associated with severe forms. In the future, this study will provide answers for two main questions 1. Why diabetics are more at risk of developing Covid-19 infection? 2. Why diabetics are at high risk of developing severe forms?
A multicenter prospective registry planned to recruit more than 100 000 patients 50 years old and older was carried out in China. This primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of synchronous four-limb blood pressure and pulse wave velocity with cardiovascular events. The secondary purpose was to evaluate the incidence rate,prevalence rate, value of diagnosis for peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and to follow up the effects of revascularization on cardiovascular events.
