Introduction: Ensuring an appropriate length of stay (LOS) is a primary goal for hospitals, as prolonged LOS poses clinical risks and organizational challenges. Children and adolescents are particularly susceptible to prolonged LOS due to frequent hospitalizations and unique vulnerabilities, including developmental disabilities that may necessitate additional care and monitoring. This study aims to describe the LOS of children and adolescent patients and identify the sociodemographic, organizational, clinical, and nursing care factors contributing to prolonged LOS in this population.

- A study was conducted to examine how medical complexity, defined by chronic conditions, affects nursing diagnoses and actions in pediatric patients at an Italian university hospital.
- The research analyzed electronic health records from patients admitted between January to December 2022, categorizing them into non-chronic, single chronic, and multimorbid groups, and counted nursing diagnoses and actions accordingly.
- Results indicated that while the number of nursing diagnoses and actions varied with medical complexity, higher chronic conditions were associated with fewer nursing actions, highlighting a need for further investigation into this relationship and its clinical impact.*
Purpose: This study aimed to present real-life data on the use, effectiveness, and safety of administering Ceftolozane/Tazobactam (C/T) through elastomeric pumps (EP) in the outpatient setting.
Methods: This case series study was conducted from January 2022 to July 2023 in a large University Hospital in Rome, Italy. Patients receiving continuous infusion of C/T EP were included up to a follow-up period of 90 days after the end of antibiotic therapy.
Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC) is a clinical syndrome following COVID-19 disease. PCC symptoms in adults entail significant productivity loss and reduced quality of life.
