The variations in health cost based on the traditional obesity parameters among patients with coronary artery diseases undergoing cardiac catheterization.

Background: In the literature, obesity has been correlated with coronary artery diseases (CADs) and high health costs. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between obesity parameters and the health costs among patients with CADs undergoing cardiac catheterization.

Method: A secondary data analysis was done for an original study.

Psychometric properties of a Saudi Arabian version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R).

Background: Maternal outcomes are closely associated with birth satisfaction, and the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R), a concise, multidimensional self-report measure, has undergone translation and validation internationally. However, research on birth satisfaction in Saudi Arabia is scarce. The absence of valid Arabic-language tools for the Saudi population may impede critical research on this topic, necessitating the translation and use of psychometrically sound instruments for measuring birth satisfaction in Saudi women.

The association of traditional obesity parameters with the length of stay among patients with coronary artery disease: A cross-sectional study.

There is a strong association between obesity and coronary artery disease (CAD). Obesity is measured using traditional obesity parameters, such as body mass index, body adiposity index, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference. The aim of this study is to explore the association between traditional obesity parameters and the length of stay (LOS) among hospitalized CAD patients.

Effects of argan spinosa oil in the treatment of diaper dermatitis in infants and toddlers: A quasi-experimental study.

Objectives: Diaper dermatitis (DD) is one of the most common dermatological disorders in children. Commonly used drugs for treatment have several adverse effects; therefore, assessment of safe therapeutic strategies is necessary. We, therefore, aimed at comparing the efficacy of argan spinosa oil and 1% hydrocortisone ointment on DD healing.

Frailty and Its Correlates in Cognitively Intact Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Background: Frailty syndrome is characterized by a decline in physiological and psychological reserve and may be associated with poor health outcomes.

Objectives: The current study explored frailty and its correlates among cognitively intact community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: A secondary analysis of data collected from 109 community-dwelling older adults who are cognitively intact was conducted for the purpose of this study.

Predictors of growth of Escherichia coli on lab coats as part of hospital-acquired infection transmission through healthcare personnel attire.

Objectives: Previous research has documented the presence of microbes on healthcare personnel (HCP) attire. This study aimed to explore the bacterial contamination and predictors of Escherichia coli (E coli) growth, as well as, hygiene and handling practices of HCP attire that could influence growth of E coli.

Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study was used in this study.

Predictors of depression amongst older adults with acute coronary syndrome seeking emergency care.

Objectives: Psychological and traumatic events may cause disruption to daily life for patients, in particular, older adult patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The present study aimed to identify the prevalence of depression and explore its predictors amongst older adults with ACS seeking emergency care.

Methods: Secondary data analysis of cross-sectional data, using a convenience sample of 300 older adult patients with ACS seeking emergency care, was used in this study.
