A Novel Machine-Learning Algorithm to Predict the Early Termination of Nutrition Support Team Follow-Up in Hospitalized Adults: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: For hospitalized adults, it is important to initiate the early reintroduction of oral food in accordance with nutrition support team guidelines. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a machine learning-based algorithm that predicts the early termination of medical nutritional therapy (the transition to oral feeding).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive adult patients admitted to the Hacettepe hospital (from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022).

Risk assessments of drug-related problems for cardiac surgery patients.

Objectives: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are considered at high risk for developing drug-related problems (DRPs) due to comorbidities and complexity of drug treatment. This study aimed to identify DRPs in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and to develop and implement a framework to reduce potential risks associated with drug treatment.

Study Design: Prospectively designed quasi-experimental study.

Drug-related problems at the heart of cardiac surgery.

Objectives: Optimal perioperative success in cardiac surgery requires precise management of drug treatment. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, types and associated factors of drug-related problems (DRPs) during the entire hospital stay.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the department of cardiovascular surgery in a university hospital between November 2019 and March 2020.

Assessment of the Appropriateness of Prescriptions in a Geriatric Outpatient Clinic.

Objectives: Appropriateness of the geriatric outpatients' medications needs special attention due to risks of falls, fractures, depression, hospital admissions and mortality. This study aimed to identify current practice on medication usage by using the 2 version of "Screening Tool of Older People's Potentially Inappropriate Prescriptions" and "Screening Tool to Alert Doctors to Right Treatment" criteria and affecting factors for the Turkish population.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2015 and May 2016 at a university research and training hospital's geriatric outpatient clinic.

Evaluation of the effect of antibiotics used during parenteral nutrition treatment on Candidemia.

Objective: Parenteral nutrition is an important risk factor for candidemia. In this risk analysis study, the effect of previous antibiotic administration apart from the length of hospital stay, duration of Parenteral nutrition treatment, and Candida score parameters on developing candidemia was evaluated in the non-neutropenic patients receiving Parenteral nutrition treatment.

Methods: In this double center, retrospective, and cross-sectional study, the data of patients who received Parenteral nutrition treatment were collected.

How we Provide Nutritional Treatment in Hospitalized Patients?

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate enteral nutrition (EN), parenteral nutrition (PN) and supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) in terms of achieving nutritional goals.

Methods: Patients receiving either EN, PN, or SPN treatment followed up by the clinical nutrition team between January and December 2017 at the university research and training hospital were included in the study. Daily nutritional requirements were calculated according to the recommendations.

Impact of Clinical Pharmacist-led Interventions in Turkey.

Detecting drug-related problems (DRPs) is important in pharmaceutical care in for better therapeutic outcomes. Clinical pharmacists-led comprehensive medication management plays a crucial role in the rational use of drugs by preventing, identifying, and resolving DRPs. In this review, we aimed to determine the effect of interventions on patient outcomes performed by clinical pharmacists in Turkey.
