Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating condition characterised by significant heterogeneity. Early diagnosis is critical, but limited data exists on the condition's early stages. This study aimed to characterise (very) early CRPS patients and explore potential subgroups to enhance understanding of its mechanisms.

Methods: We synthesized participant-level data on 82,723 individuals aged ≥65 years from five prospective studies in two-stage meta-analyses. We estimated multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of T2D (presence versus absence) on a primary composite outcome defined as cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to address the high use of benzodiazepine receptor agonists among nursing home residents by implementing a 6-component intervention targeting healthcare professionals.
- The feasibility of the intervention will be tested in a cluster-randomised controlled trial involving six nursing homes, assessing recruitment, data collection, and preliminary cost-effectiveness over a six-month period.
- Ethical approval has been obtained, and data will remain confidential, with plans for dissemination through a scientific paper after a two-year embargo.
Background: Benin's healthcare system is characterized by a lack of local guidelines for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP), which is essential to prevent surgical site infection.
Aim: To audit compliance for SAP practices in gastrointestinal surgery.
Methods: Data were prospectively collected from gastrointestinal surgery departments in five hospitals.
Objective: Guidelines recommend deprescribing benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRA) in older adults, yet implementation in clinical practice remains limited. Adapting effective, evidence-based interventions to a new context is a resource-saving strategy. In Canada, the D-PRESCRIBE intervention comprised a patient educational brochure and a pharmaceutical opinion inviting physicians to revise BZRA prescribing and consider safer alternatives.
