Despite improvements in medical care, the burden of sepsis remains high. In this study, we evaluated the incremental cost associated with postoperative sepsis and the impact of postoperative sepsis on clinical outcomes among surgical patients in Vietnam. We used the national database that contained 1,241,893 surgical patients undergoing seven types of surgery.

However, systematic analysis of the economic burden in low- and middle-income countries is lacking.
Methods: We used the nationwide database of the Vietnam Social Insurance agency and extracted data from January 2017 to September 2018.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the economic burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgery, analyzing data from Vietnam's national health insurance database from Jan 2017 to Sep 2018.
- - It found that patients with VTE incurred an average cost of $2,939 within 90 days post-surgery, with significant increases in readmission rates, outpatient visits, and overall healthcare costs.
- - The research highlights the potential for cost-saving strategies through VTE prevention measures, emphasizing the importance of understanding these costs for healthcare planning.
Oral Rivaroxaban Versus Standard Therapy in Acute Venous Thromboembolism Treatment for Vietnamese Patients.
Open Access Maced J Med Sci
December 2019
Article Synopsis
- Rivaroxaban (RIV) was tested as a treatment for acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) against standard therapy, which involved enoxaparin and vitamin K antagonists, in Vietnamese patients.
- The study involved 187 patients, showing similar rates of recurrent VTE and major bleeding between those treated with RIV and those receiving standard treatment.
- Overall, the results suggest that rivaroxaban is as effective and safe as standard therapy for managing acute VTE in this population.
We evaluated the primary resistance of () to routinely used antibiotics in Cambodia, an unexplored topic in the country, and assessed next-generation sequencing's (NGS) potential to discover genetic resistance determinants. Fifty-five strains were successfully cultured and screened for antibiotic susceptibility using agar dilution. Genotypic analysis was performed using NGS data with a CLC genomic workbench.
