Management and patient outcomes following admission with acute cholecystitis in Ireland: A national registry-based study.

Introduction: Acute cholecystitis is a common general surgical emergency, accounting for 3-10 % of all patients attending with acute abdominal pain. International guidelines suggest that emergency cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for uncomplicated acute cholecystitis where feasible. There is a paucity of published data on the uptake of emergency cholecystectomy in Ireland.

Unplanned Emergency Department or Inpatient Acute Care Within 1 Week After Administration of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy: Frequency of Occurrence and Standard Operating Procedures for Radioprotection in These Situations.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a rapidly developing treatment modality. These treatments are indicated for patients who are either heavily pretreated and/or may have neurohormonal active disease, increasing the risk of acute adverse effects and the need for unplanned acute care. The goals of this report were to characterize the frequency of unplanned acute care utilization after PRRT infusion and detail a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for radioprotection during unplanned post-PRRT acute care.

Descriptive statistics were used to describe the patient population.

PECARN prediction rule for cervical spine imaging of children presenting to the emergency department with blunt trauma: a multicentre prospective observational study.

Background: Cervical spine injuries in children are uncommon but potentially devastating; however, indiscriminate neck imaging after trauma unnecessarily exposes children to ionising radiation. The aim of this study was to derive and validate a paediatric clinical prediction rule that can be incorporated into an algorithm to guide radiographic screening for cervical spine injury among children in the emergency department.

Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, we screened children aged 0-17 years presenting with known or suspected blunt trauma at 18 specialised children's emergency departments in hospitals in the USA affiliated with the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN).

Feasibility and acceptability of a mobile intervention for patients with psychosis following psychiatric hospitalization: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

This pilot randomized control trial examines the feasibility and acceptability of a novel mHealth intervention for patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders following discharge from inpatient hospitalization. Using cognitive behavior therapy for psychosis strategies, the app provides just-in-time assessment and intervention for individuals to promote healthy coping skills and treatment adherence. We assessed the mHealth intervention relative to a comparison app that included mobile assessment plus psychoeducation alone.

Impact of a debrief tool in acute child and adolescent mental health inpatient units: a centre's experience.

This manuscript presents the pioneering use of a post-event staff debriefing tool, TALK, in Acute Child and Adolescent Mental Health Units (CAMHU). While unsuccessful in reducing the rate and severity of patient behavioural events, our centre observed promising psychological benefits for CAMHU staff as a result of debriefing, with the tool promoting emotional resiliency and providing a platform for open conversations. Debriefing also served as a venue for patient concerns with care to be raised by staff, addressed and reflected in updated care plans.

Physical activity and sedentary behavior levels among individuals with mental illness: A cross-sectional study from 23 countries.

An International Validation of the "DECAF Score" to Predict Disease Severity and Hospital Mortality in Acute Exacerbation of COPD in the UAE.

The DECAF score (the Dyspnea, Eosinopenia, Consolidation, Academia, and Atrial fibrillation score) has been adopted in some hospitals to predict the severity of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD). However, DECAF score has not been widely evaluated or used in Middle Eastern countries. The present study aimed to validate the DECAF score for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with AECOPD in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Background And Objectives: Health care disparities are pervasive, but little is known about disparities in pediatric safety. We analyzed a national sample of hospitalizations to identify disparities in safety events.

Methods: In this population-based, retrospective cohort study of the 2019 Kids' Inpatient Database, independent variables were race, ethnicity, and payer.

Mental Health Admissions to Paediatric Wards Study (MAPS): a protocol for the analysis of Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data.

Introduction: Children and young people (CYP) presenting with a mental health (MH) crisis are frequently admitted to general acute paediatric wards as a place of safety. Prior to the pandemic, a survey in England showed that CYP occupied 6% of general paediatric inpatient beds due to an MH crisis, and there have been longstanding concerns about the quality of care to support these patients in this setting. Mental Health Admissions to Paediatric Wards Study aims to generate a theory of change (ToC) model to improve the quality of care for CYP admitted to acute paediatric services after presenting in a MH crisis.
