Disproportionate rates of HIV are observed in Black women and men, especially in the Southern United States. We observed limited uptake of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services in our Southern community among these groups, particularly Black men who have sex with men relative to new HIV cases in Birmingham, AL; 18% accessed PrEP services compared with 50% of new HIV cases. Further research is...
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis is effective in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in medical patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on medical inpatients at two academic hospitals in Hamilton, Ontario to investigate if patients received VTE prophylaxis as per current guidelines. RESULTS An analysis was performe...
Introduction: The rate of cesarean delivery is increasing. Infection is one of the most frequent and important complications of emergency cesarean section. Infection prophylaxis has an important role to reduce post-cesarean delivery complication. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of broad spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis (Azithromycin+Cephalotin) with single agent antibiotic...
BACKGROUND The prophylactic use of antimicrobial agents to prevent infections in non-surgical situations has hardly been investigated. We investigate the extent, indications and appropriateness of antimicrobial prophylaxis given outside the operating room in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS Four point-prevalence surveys were conducted in which all inpatients on that day were screened for the...
deep vein thrombosis (dvt) and pulmonary embolism (pte) are known as venous thromboembolism (vte). dvt occurs when a thrombus (a blood clot) forms in deep veins of the body, usually in the lower extremities. it can cause swelling or leg pain, but sometimes may occur with no symptoms. awareness of dvt is the best way to prevent the vte. patients with trauma are at increased risk of dvt and subse...
OBJECTIVE To analyze measures referred to venous thromboembolic prophylaxis in critically ill patients. DESIGN An epidemiological, cross-sectional (prevalence cut), multicenter study was performed using an electronic survey. Comparison of results with quality indexes of the Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine, the American College of Chest Physician guidelines and international studies...
BACKGROUND The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) without prophylaxis is as high as 80% after major trauma. Initiation of prophylaxis is often delayed because of concerns of injury-associated bleeding. As the effect of delays in the initiation of prophylaxis on VTE rates is unknown, we set out to evaluate the relationship between late initiation of prophylaxis and VTE. METHODS Data wer...
OBJECTIVE Newborns in a hospital nursery were exposed to a mother whose sputum was direct-smear negative for acid-fast bacilli but culture positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Given the low risk for exposure, the high susceptibility of infants to M. tuberculosis infection, and the possibility of hepatotoxicity due to isoniazid therapy, a decision analysis model was used to determine whether...
OBJECTIVE To compare the cost effectiveness of prophylaxis with a low-molecular-weight heparin with that of prophylaxis with unfractionated heparin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in acutely ill medical inpatients. STUDY DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis based on decision-tree model. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS A hypothetical cohort of 10 000 patients was assumed to receive eithe...
