Introduction: Videolaryngoscopy improves tracheal intubation outcomes compared with direct laryngoscopy in various scenarios. However, the range of videolaryngoscope designs makes it challenging to identify the most effective device. We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare different laryngoscope designs when used for tracheal intubation of adults under general anaesthesia.

To identify the reasons for vaccine hesitancy, we conducted a household survey of 31,001 live-born children living in the 26 Brazilian state capitals and the Federal District in 2017 and 2018. Census tracts were stratified according to socioeconomic status, we interviewed parents and/or guardians to collect information on the mother, child, reasons for not vaccinating, and other data.
