Aims: This study aimed to explore the perceptions of Meals on Wheels (MoWs) service users (SUs), and people who refer them to MoWs ('referrers'), with accessing and commencing the service in England, the barriers that might hinder service uptake, and what information would be valued when considering accessing the service.
Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted in May-July 2022 with seven SUs and 21 referrers, recruited from four MoWs providers across England. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.
Clinical Outcomes After Tracheostomy in Children With Single Ventricle Physiology: Collaborative Research From the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society Multicenter Cohort, 2010-2021.
Pediatr Crit Care Med
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the outcomes of tracheostomy in children with single ventricle physiology before they undergo the Fontan operation, focusing on a cohort from 21 pediatric care institutions.
- Out of 99 patients reviewed, over half (52%) died, with certain factors like non-respiratory reasons for the tracheostomy and prolonged mechanical ventilation identified as increasing death risk, while specific heart conditions were linked to better survival odds.
- A favorable outcome, defined as surviving to the Fontan operation or being able to decannulate, occurred in just 29% of patients, with those achieving favorable outcomes spending less time on mechanical ventilation before their tracheostomy.
Objectives: To determine if near-infrared spectroscopy measuring cerebral regional oxygen saturation (crS o2 ) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation is associated with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge (SHD) in children.
Design: Multicenter, observational study.
Setting: Three hospitals in the pediatric Resuscitation Quality (pediRES-Q) collaborative from 2015 to 2022.
Objectives: To evaluate for associations between a child's neighborhood, as categorized by Child Opportunity Index (COI 2.0), and 1) PICU mortality, 2) severity of illness at PICU admission, and 3) PICU length of stay (LOS).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
