Article Synopsis
- Early identification of high-risk elderly patients in the Emergency Department (ED) is essential for effective treatment and resource management, especially for those over 65 with acute medical conditions.
- A study involving 953 patients found that a Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) greater than 8 is a significant predictor for 30-day mortality, with patients in this group exhibiting more severe symptoms and poorer vital signs.
- The NLR was confirmed as an effective, low-cost tool for assessing mortality risk, but further validation in larger studies is necessary to strengthen these findings.
In the present study, surface contamination where antineoplastic drugs (ADs) are present was investigated, as occupational exposure risk is still an open debate. Despite recommendations and safety standard procedures being in place in health care settings, quantifiable levels of ADs are being reported in the recent literature. Thus, a survey monitoring program was conducted over five years (2016-2021) in nine Italian hospitals.
