Introduction: There is little data on the role of endovascular treatment (EVT) of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Here, we describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of CVST-VITT patients who were treated with EVT.
Patients And Methods: We report data from an international registry of patients who developed CVST within 28 days of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, reported between 29 March 2021 and 6 March 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (CVST-VITT) can lead to severe bleeding and high mortality, particularly among patients requiring decompressive surgery post-COVID vaccination.
- A study reviewed 128 CVST-VITT patients, finding that 27% underwent surgery, with a 65% in-hospital mortality rate in this group compared to 29% in non-surgical patients, highlighting factors like preoperative coma and pupillary reflex absence as key mortality predictors.
- Despite the high mortality, around 80% of the surgical survivors were functionally independent at a 6-month follow-up, indicating some potential for recovery even after critical interventions.
Studies on the prevalence of burnout in professionals in service organizations who work in direct contact with the clients or users of the organization have concluded that burnout is a serious health disorder that has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant advantage of the Spanish Burnout Inventory (SBI) over other instruments is that it provides a broader conceptualization of burnout by including feelings of guilt as a dimension of burnout to explain its development. However, the measurement invariance of the SBI across countries has not been investigated.

- The study investigates the treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) caused by vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) following adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccinations.
- Researchers analyzed data from 99 patients across 17 countries to assess adherence to recommended treatments, including immunomodulation and avoiding certain anticoagulants.
- While overall adherence to these treatment guidelines did not significantly impact mortality, patients who received immunomodulation showed lower mortality rates compared to those who did not.
Background: Workplace environment is related to the physical and psychological well-being, and quality of work life (QWL) for nurses.
Objective: The aim of this paper was to perform a comprehensive literature review on nurses' quality of work life to identify a comprehensive set of QWL predictors for nurses employed in the United States and Canada.
Methods: Using publications from 2004-2014, contributing factors to American and Canadian nurses' QWL were analyzed.
