Article Synopsis
- The project focused on reducing surgical site infections (SSIs) in pediatric patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery to less than 1 per 100 cases.
- A multidisciplinary team identified risk factors and created a quality improvement (QI) initiative, which included enhanced hygiene practices and wound care education.
- The result was a significant decrease in SSIs, dropping from 2.82 to 0.55 per 100 cases, without any increase in major complications or mortality.
Aims: This study examines the evidence for similar increases in psychosomatic complaints among 15-year-olds in the Nordic countries over the period 2002-2022. A distinction is made between the level and shape of these time trends.
Methods: A dataset from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey from 2002 to 2022 was used.

- The study aimed to find protein signatures in blood that could help identify individuals at high risk for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis.
- Researchers analyzed blood samples from a large population, utilizing machine-learning methods to identify and validate these protein signatures across multiple cohorts.
- A specific combination of 29 proteins was effective in differentiating preclinical CD cases from controls, achieving a high accuracy, while the prediction for ulcerative colitis was less robust but still significant.
