- The study compares distal radial access (DRA) and conventional transradial access (TRA) for coronary procedures, focusing on the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO), a common complication of TRA.
- In a trial with 1,307 patients, results showed no significant difference in RAO rates between the two methods (0.91% for TRA vs 0.31% for DRA), but DRA had a higher crossover rate (7.4% vs 3.5%) and shorter hemostasis time (153 minutes vs 180 minutes).
- Both methods resulted in similar rates of overall bleeding and complications, suggesting that DRA could be an effective alternative to
To improve the identification and management of viral respiratory infections, we established a clinical and virologic surveillance program for pediatric patients fulfilling pre-defined case criteria of influenza-like illness and viral respiratory infections. The program resulted in a cohort comprising 6,073 patients (56% male, median age 1.6 years, range 0-18.
