COVID-19 Booster Vaccine Hesitancy among Hemodialysis Patients in Saudi Arabia Using the Health Belief Model: A Multi-Centre Experience.

Objective: Vaccination hesitance for the COVID-19 booster dosage among hemodialysis patients is an important barrier in reducing morbidity and mortality linked to COVID-19 infection. Hence, this study aimed to explore the predictors of the third (booster) dose of COVID-19 vaccine intention among CKD patients on hemodialysis from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Methods: This study was a multi-center cross-sectional study conducted at four dialysis centers in KSA from 13 February 2022 to 21 June 2022.

Using clinical estimate or catheter measurement of urethral mid-point result in similar retropubic mid-urethral sling position: a randomized trial.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to determine whether standardized, intraoperative urethral measurement improves retropubic mid-urethral sling (RPMUS) positioning and if the intraoperative position remains stable at 2 weeks postoperatively.

Methods: Participants undergoing a RPMUS were randomized to mid-urethral placement as per usual surgical care (no Foley catheter measurement, no-FCM) vs urethral mid-point Foley catheter measurement (FCM). The primary outcomes were RPMUS location as determined by 2D and 3D ultrasound 2 weeks postoperatively (as percentage from urethral meatus - relative to the urethral length) and intraoperatively following the RPMUS placement.
