Background: Colorectal anastomotic leakage remains one of the most frequent and dreaded postoperative complications after colorectal resection. However, limited research has been conducted on the impact of this complication on the quality of life of patients who have undergone colorectal cancer surgery.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to identify, appraise, and synthesize the available evidence regarding the quality of life in patients with anastomotic leakage after oncological colorectal resections to inform clinical decision-making.
Background: Many home-based interventions have been demonstrated to reduce unintentional and intentional injuries in young children aged 0-4 years, but an understanding of their inclusion in federally-funded home visiting programmes in the USA is needed.
Methods: The study team administered a survey to key informants at each of the 21 home visiting models approved for United States Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program funding being implemented in 2023. Respondents were based across the United States and in other developed countries.
Introduction: Paediatric drowning is an injury associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Objective: The objective is to describe drowning trends, including associations with inpatient hospitalisation or fatality, in a state-wide paediatric cohort to inform prevention strategies.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study using the Health Services Cost Review Commission database, we used International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes to identify patients aged 0-19 years with an outpatient (including emergency department) or inpatient medical encounter following a non-fatal or fatal drowning event between 2016 and 2019.
