Auditing and improving notification and chemoprophylaxis in bacterial meningitis.
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to audit, against agreed standards, the control of bacterial meningitis, in particular completeness of notification and appropriateness of distribution of chemoprophylaxis to contacts; and to implement appropriate changes and monitor their impact. DESIGN The first phase involved determination, for the years 1983 and 1984, of completeness of notification by comparis...
متن کاملImproving the bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.
We made a bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in 107 of 132 (81%) adults with clinical tuberculous meningitis: acid-fast bacilli were seen in 77 of 132 (58%) and cultured from 94 of 132 (71%). Volume of cerebrospinal fluid, duration of symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid neutrophils, lactate, and glucose were all independently associated with bacteriological confirmation.
متن کاملImproving hearing assessment of children post-meningitis.
The improvement in audiological testing of children post-meningitis with one retrospective and two prospective audit cycles, is described. Direct referral by telephone prior to discharge and liaison with public health colleagues resulted in an increased assessment from 50% to 99% and 89% in successive audits. The proportion seen within six weeks also improved dramatically.
متن کاملBGP-RCN: improving BGP convergence through root cause notification
This paper presents a new mechanism, called BGP with root cause notification (BGP-RCN), that provides an upper bound of O(d) on routing convergence delay for BGP, where d is the network diameter as measured by the number of AS hops. BGP-RCN lets each routing update message carry the information about the specific cause which triggered the update message. Once a node v receives the first update ...
متن کاملImproving explicit congestion notification with the mark-front strategy
Delivering congestion signals is essential to the performance of networks. Current TCP/IP networks use packet losses to signal congestion. Packet losses not only reduces TCP performance, but also adds large delay. Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) delivers a faster indication of congestion and has better performance. However, current ECN implementations mark the packet from the tail of the...
