Background: Osteoporosis affects people worldwide. However, there are few validated tools for the early screening of osteoporosis in Vietnam. We set out to evaluate the performance of the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA) and the osteoporosis screening tool for Chinese (OSTC) for the early screening of osteoporosis in postmenopausal Vietnamese women.

In this study, we evaluated the incremental cost associated with postoperative sepsis and the impact of postoperative sepsis on clinical outcomes among surgical patients in Vietnam. We used the national database that contained 1,241,893 surgical patients undergoing seven types of surgery.

Int J Environ Res Public Health
September 2021
Objective: To determine the prevalence of cotton dust-related allergic asthma and associated factors among textile workers in Nam Dinh province, Vietnam.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 1082 workers in two textile garment companies using the asthma diagnostic criteria of the GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) 2016 guidelines.
Results: Among study participants, 11.
Background: Estimating the cost of postoperative respiratory complications is crucial in developing appropriate strategies to mitigate the global and national economic burden. However, systematic analysis of the economic burden in low- and middle-income countries is lacking.
Methods: We used the nationwide database of the Vietnam Social Insurance agency and extracted data from January 2017 to September 2018.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the incubation period of COVID-19 in confirmed Vietnamese cases from January to April 2020, using Bayesian Inference methods.
- The analysis included 19 locally infected cases, finding an average incubation period of about 6.4 days, with the Weibull distribution model being the most accurate.
- The findings support a 14-day quarantine for potential exposure, suggesting that extreme cases may require an extended quarantine of up to three weeks.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the economic burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgery, analyzing data from Vietnam's national health insurance database from Jan 2017 to Sep 2018.
- - It found that patients with VTE incurred an average cost of $2,939 within 90 days post-surgery, with significant increases in readmission rates, outpatient visits, and overall healthcare costs.
- - The research highlights the potential for cost-saving strategies through VTE prevention measures, emphasizing the importance of understanding these costs for healthcare planning.
Oral Rivaroxaban Versus Standard Therapy in Acute Venous Thromboembolism Treatment for Vietnamese Patients.
Open Access Maced J Med Sci
December 2019
Article Synopsis
- Rivaroxaban (RIV) was tested as a treatment for acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) against standard therapy, which involved enoxaparin and vitamin K antagonists, in Vietnamese patients.
- The study involved 187 patients, showing similar rates of recurrent VTE and major bleeding between those treated with RIV and those receiving standard treatment.
- Overall, the results suggest that rivaroxaban is as effective and safe as standard therapy for managing acute VTE in this population.

Open Access Maced J Med Sci
December 2019
Background: In recent times, scientists have found new treatments for colorectal cancer patients.
Aim: The study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of triplet combination chemotherapy of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in stage IV.
Methods: Uncontrolled clinical trial carried on 39 stage IV colorectal cancer patients.
Green biolubricant infused slippery surfaces to combat marine biofouling.
J Colloid Interface Sci
May 2020
Hypothesis: Marine biofouling is a global, longstanding problem for maritime industries and coastal areas arising from the attachment of fouling organisms onto solid immersed surfaces. Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) have recently shown promising capacity to combat marine biofouling. In most SLIPS coatings, the lubricant is a silicone/fluorinated-based synthetic component that may not be fully compatible with the marine life.

- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and preventable issue in surgical patients, necessitating careful risk assessment for effective thromboprophylaxis to minimize complications and mortality.
- A study involving 2,790,027 surgical patients in Vietnam utilized the Caprini risk assessment model to evaluate VTE occurrences and identified a significant number of cases within 90 days post-surgery.
- The results showed that patients with higher Caprini scores had a dramatically increased risk of developing VTE, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies for those at the highest risk.
Unlabelled: Vietnam's nursing competency standards (VNCS) were issued in 2012 as the legal framework on which the continuous nursing training programme are designed and developed.
Objectives: The study aimed to assess the knowledge, skills, and attitudes as well as the confidence of nurses regarding wound care at Viet Duc University Hospital before and after a new educational intervention.
Method: A comparative descriptive study was carried out in 2014 at Viet Duc University Hospital.
