South African consumer attitudes underlying the choice to consume game meat.

Currently little is known about the South African game meat consumer market or the underlying attributes driving the choice to consume game meat, limiting the game meat industry's market positioning, growth and ultimately its contribution to food security and economic growth. The study explored attitudes of 1081 consumers through an online survey and structural equation modelling, to determine which game meat attributes were the strongest predictors of the choice to consume game meat. Health benefits and production ethics have the strongest direct relationship with the choice to consume game meat.

Generalist-Specialist Collaboration in Primary Care for Frail Older Persons: A Promising Model for the Future.

Objectives: The complex care needs of frail older persons living at home is a major challenge for health care systems worldwide. One possible solution is to employ a primary care physician (PCP) with additional geriatric expertise. In the Netherlands, elderly care physicians (ECPs), who traditionally work in nursing homes, are increasingly encouraged to utilize their expertise within primary care.

The Impact of Nursing Delirium Preventive Interventions in the ICU: A Multicenter Cluster-randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Delirium is common in critically ill patients and is associated with deleterious outcomes. Nonpharmacological interventions are recommended in current delirium guidelines, but their effects have not been unequivocally established. To determine the effects of a multicomponent nursing intervention program on delirium in the ICU.

Influence of sedation on delirium recognition in critically ill patients: A multinational cohort study.

Background: Guidelines advocate intensive care unit (ICU) patients be regularly assessed for delirium using either the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) or the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). Single-centre studies, primarily with the CAM-ICU, suggest level of sedation may influence delirium screening results.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the association between level of sedation and delirium occurrence in critically ill patients assessed with either the CAM-ICU or the ICDSC.

External Validation of Two Models to Predict Delirium in Critically Ill Adults Using Either the Confusion Assessment Method-ICU or the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist for Delirium Assessment.

Objectives: To externally validate two delirium prediction models (early prediction model for ICU delirium and recalibrated prediction model for ICU delirium) using either the Confusion Assessment Method-ICU or the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist for delirium assessment.

Design: Prospective, multinational cohort study.

Setting: Eleven ICUs from seven countries in three continents.
