Background: The selection of the best donor for each specific patient is crucial for the success of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, there is debate on the choice of the best donor when multiple suitable donors exist.
Methods: By using own data from two transplant centers, we have developed a calculator able to provide the patients' 2-year overall survival (OS) associated with each of the potential donor options during the selection process, in order to support the transplant physician during the choice.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess a nurse-driven protocol for ending respiratory support in infants with bronchiolitis in pediatric intensive care units.
- A total of 187 infants were analyzed, revealing no significant difference in weaning failure rates, but the nurse-driven approach resulted in later discontinuation of ventilatory support and a shorter weaning duration compared to the previous method.
- Overall, while the timing of discontinuation changed, the total ventilation time and lengths of stay in the PICU and hospital remained similar between the two approaches.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of discomfort in infants with severe bronchiolitis supported by noninvasive ventilation and to identify its potential risk factors.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective observational study. Discomfort was assessed using the EDIN (Echelle de Douleur et d'Inconfort du Nouveau-né) scale.
