Filter by:A feasibility study to determine if it is possible to perform a safe, adequately powered, and affordable multi-centre study in critically ill children comparing current practice of liberal targets for systemic oxygen levels with more conservative targets.
The aim of this epidemiologic prospective study is to determine the prevalence of CPSP defined as pain occurring 4 months after scoliosis and thoracic surgery and rated > 3 on a 10 point visual analogue scale or FLACC scale, in children aged from 6 to 18 years. The main objective : prevalence of chronic post surgical pain 4 months after scoliosis ant thoracic surgery in children aged 6 to 18 years. The secondary objectives: the intensity of chronic post surgical pain, the prevalence of neuropathic syndrome and the predictive risk factors.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of changes in the care environment in pediatric radiotherapy. The definitions of the changes is a part of the study, and is constructed in collaboration with the institute of design at Umeå University. The implementation is however not part of the study, but done as part of Clinical routine. The study consist of two parts, where the first 1.5 years are a Control phase where the changes are designed and also function as a baseline period. The following 1.5 years are the case period where the Changes that are accepted for Clinical implementation are implemented. The impact of the changes are evaluated using surveys and interviews of both parents and children
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of dextrose administration in severely sick children admitted to hospital with low-glycaemia. The problem: Mortality in children remains high in sub-Saharan African hospitals. While antimalarial drugs, antibiotics and other definitive treatments are well understood, the role of emergency care with supportive therapies such as maintaining normal glucose and electrolyte balances, has been given limited attention. Hypoglycaemia is common in children admitted to hospital in low-income settings. The current definition of hypoglycaemia is a blood glucose level of less than 2.5mmol/l. Outcomes for these children are poor, with a mortality rate of up to 42%. An increased mortality has also been reported among acutely ill children with low-glycaemia, defined as a blood glucose level of 2.5-5.0mmol/l. The reason for increased mortality rates is not fully understood. Study objective: To determine the impact on mortality of a raised treatment cut-off level for paediatric hypoglycaemia, from 2.5mmol/l to 5.0mmol/l. Methodology: Severely ill children admitted to two central Malawian hospitals; Queen Elisabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre and Zomba Central Hospital, with low-glycaemia (2.5-5.0mmol/l) will be randomised into intervention or control groups. The intervention group will be treated with an intravenous bolus of 10% dextrose 5ml/kg followed by a dextrose infusion in addition to standard care while the control group will receive standard care only. Children will be followed until discharge from hospital or death. Primary end-point is in-hospital mortality.
The purpose study is to report on the accuracy of noninvasive hemoglobin (SpHb) as compared to hemoglobin measurements obtained from a laboratory hematology analyzer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the rates of medication errors in pediatric outpatients in 6 office practices. Further, we wish to determine the effectiveness of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system in reducing errors.
