Developing a trigger tool to monitor adverse events during haemodialysis in children: a pilot project.

Background: We developed a paediatric haemodialysis trigger tool (pHTT) for application per haemodialysis (HD) session in children receiving intermittent in-centre HD and systematically monitored adverse events.

Methods: Single-centre quality improvement study performed over two 8-week cycles. Data collected prospectively using a 'per-dialysis session' pHTT tool including 54 triggers across six domains, adapted from a recently described haemodialysis trigger tool (HTT) for adults.

Variations in the quality and sustainability of long-term glycaemic control with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.

Aims: To investigate the pattern of changes in HbA1c in people with Type 1 diabetes managed by long-term Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.

Methods: We studied HbA1c changes using computerized clinic records in 35 adult people with Type 1 diabetes and an elevated HbA1c (≥ 64 mmol/mol, 8.0%) on multiple daily insulin injections, who were then switched to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for at least 5 years.
