Myopia is one of the risk factors for glaucoma, making accurate diagnosis of glaucoma in myopic eyes particularly important. However, diagnosis of glaucoma in myopic eyes is challenging due to the frequent associations of distorted optic disc and distorted parapapillary and macular structures. Macular vertical scan has been suggested as a useful tool to detect glaucomatous retinal nerve fiber layer loss even in highly myopic eyes.

The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence and temporal trends of preventable CPAs and determine factors associated with preventable CPAs in a hospital with a mature RRS.
Methods: This was a single-center prospective cohort study of all CPAs occurring in the general ward between March 2017 and June 2020.
Aim: This study aims to investigate the relationship between patient safety awareness, knowledge (risk-Knowledge) and attitude about fire risk assessment during time-out (risk-Attitude) of perioperative nurses.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: Perioperative nurses (N = 158) from 22 small- and medium-sized hospitals participated in the study.
Background: A variety of rapid response systems (RRSs) based on the systematic assessment of vital signs and laboratory tests have been developed to reduce hospital mortality through the early detection of alarm signs, while deterioration may still be reversible. This study aimed to determine the association between alarm signs and post-operative hospital mortality during post-operative days (POD) 0-3 in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
Methods: This retrospective observational study used data from the registry of a single tertiary academic hospital.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate how effective rapid response team (RRT) nurses’ subjective bedside assessments are in predicting short-term patient deterioration compared to established scoring systems.
- The research included 1,426 patients, where less than 20% experienced mortality or intensive care unit admission within a day, and the performance of the nurses’ assessments was compared using various early warning scores.
- The bedside assessment tool, Patient Acuity Rating (PAR), had a higher predictive accuracy (area under the curve of 0.87) compared to other scoring methods, indicating it can be a valuable tool for RRT nurses in assessing patient prognosis.
