Objective: The purpose of this guideline is to promote recognition and preventive strategies for obstetrical anal sphincter injuries. Furthermore, it provides guidance on primary repair and immediate postpartum management for obstetrical anal sphincter tears in order to minimize further negative sequelae.
Target Population: All patients having a vaginal delivery and those who have sustained an obstetrical anal sphincter injury.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the significance of reducing low-value care in pediatric trauma, suggesting that it can enhance patient experiences and outcomes while minimizing unnecessary healthcare resource use.* -
- A retrospective cohort study involving over 10,700 children admitted to trauma centers in a Canadian province was conducted to identify and assess low-value practices in pediatric trauma care.* -
- The research found 19 low-value practices, with five showing moderate to high frequency and variation across hospitals, indicating a need for standardized care to improve pediatric trauma treatment.*
This analysis aimed to (1) identify longitudinal joint trajectories of participation in organized and unorganized physical activity contexts, and level of daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and (2) assess whether basic psychological need satisfaction during adolescence differentiates between membership in different physical activity trajectories. Participants (n = 888; 56% girls) reported their involvement in 36 different physical activities, level of MVPA, and their perceived satisfaction of competence, autonomy, and relatedness satisfaction in physical activity up to three times per year, over 8 years (from ages 10 to 17 years). Group-based multi-trajectory models were used to identify longitudinal joint trajectories of physical activity participation.

Interprofessional (IP) interventions are crucial for optimizing IPC and delivering high-quality care across clinical contexts, yet their effectiveness throughout the inpatient trauma care continuum is not well understood. Thus, this review aimed to examine the literature on the effectiveness of IP interventions on collaboration processes and related outcomes in inpatient trauma care.
