Article Synopsis
- This global study investigates the long-term outcomes of patients with tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19, highlighting a lack of prior longitudinal data on this combined condition.
- Data was collected from 788 patients across 31 countries from March 2020 to September 2022, showing a mortality rate of 10.8% during the study period.
- Key factors influencing mortality included older age, HIV infection, and the need for invasive ventilation, with patients suffering from both diseases experiencing significantly lower survival rates compared to those with only one of the diseases.
Background: Interactive case-based tutorials represent a well-established method of improving House Officer learning. There has been little research on how tutorials of this kind can be improved, and whether their use changes practice.
Aim: Our study aims to assess whether our eLearning tutorial on IV fluid and electrolyte prescribing improves the underlying knowledge base and confidence of participating House Officers, with regards to fluid and electrolyte balance physiology and prescribing.
