Background: Quality assessments of gonococcal surveillance data are critical to improve data validity and to enhance the value of surveillance findings. Detecting data errors by systematic audits identifies areas for quality improvement. We designed and implemented an internal audit process to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of surveillance data for the Thailand Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (EGASP).

- This study evaluated the necessity of monitoring post-filter ionized calcium (pfCa) during regional citrate anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy (RCA-CRRT) for critically ill patients, aiming to reduce costs and workload through potentially decreased monitoring frequency.* -
- Conducted as a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial in Thailand, the study compared standard pfCa monitoring with a no-monitoring approach, keeping citrate infusion at a predetermined level irrespective of pfCa measurements.* -
- Results indicated that the filter lifespan was similar between both groups, with no significant difference, suggesting that routine pfCa monitoring may not be required, thus supporting the feasibility of reduced monitoring during RCA-CRRT.*
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) survivors are at an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and mortality. Little is known about the effect of erythropoietin (EPO), a kidney-producing hormone, in post-AKI setting. We aimed to investigate the role of EPO as a predictor of long-term outcomes in post-severe AKI survivors.

Article Synopsis
- The COPE study evaluated the effectiveness of daily oral PrEP combined with additional preventive measures for HIV among young transgender women (TGW) and men who have sex with men (MSM) in Thailand.
- Out of 846 participants, a majority initiated PrEP quickly, with high adherence rates observed; 85.9% were still on PrEP after one year.
- The study found zero HIV cases among those using PrEP, showcasing its effectiveness compared to a significant incidence rate among those not using it.
