Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how a pharmacist-led care program can help reduce drug-related problems (DRPs) for orthogeriatric patients after they are discharged from the hospital.
- 127 patients participated, with the intervention group showing a significant reduction in DRPs compared to the control group, indicating the pharmacist's role was beneficial.
- The results suggested that the majority of the pharmacist's interventions were accepted by general practitioners, and many had a clinical impact, which could help prevent further complications post-discharge.
Background And Objectives: Multiple scoring systems were used for risk stratification in COVID-19 patients. The objective was to determine among 6 scores which performed the best in predicting short-and long-term mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients ≥ 60 years.
Methods: An observational, retrospective cohort study conducted between 21/10/2020 and 20/01/2021.
Objective: We aimed at assessing the association between demographical and clinical data and the intrahospital mortality in older patients with COVID-19 in Belgium.
Methods: Descriptive, retrospective study of consecutive patients admitted to Brugmann university hospital, Brussels (Belgium) due to COVID-19 (Mars-September-2020).
Inclusion Criteria: Patients aged ≥ 70 years admitted to acute care with a positive PCR-RT test, or a highly indicative computed tomography scan.
Objectives: Tetanus is a vaccine-preventable disease. Booster immunization is required in order to induce long-lived tetanus-toxoid (TT) specific antibody response. We investigated the prevalence and risk factors of TT seronegativity in a cohort of people living with HIV (PWH) in Belgium along with the respective performance of vaccine history and a rapid dipstick test (Tetanus Quick Stick ® or TQS) compared to ELISA testing.
