Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 595 individuals aged 18 and older in coastal communes of Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam, to assess their quality of life (QoL) using the WHOQOL-BREF instrument.
- The overall mean QoL score was 61.1, with the lowest scores found in the physical health domain, particularly among individuals affected by flooding.
- Factors contributing to low QoL included lack of formal education, poor household conditions, musculoskeletal diseases, dissatisfaction with health, family conflicts, and low social support, highlighting the need for targeted interventions by local authorities.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the social support (SS) and colorectal cancer (CRC) care utilization of patients in the central region of Vietnam.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional cohort study in which the cohort was defined as all residential patients diagnosed with CRC in a tertiary hospital, Hue Central Hospital (HCH), in central Vietnam from 2013 to 2019. Social support was considered the main independent variable and was evaluated using the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS), a self-administered 19-item SS survey.
Background: Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade III arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) show angioarchitecture heterogeneity and lack a clearly defined treatment strategy. This study aims to evaluate outcomes after treatment of SM grade III AVMs with Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS).
Methods: A single-institution retrospective analysis was conducted of 307 patients with SM grade III AVMs undergoing GKRS between October 2006 and December 2020 with follow-up times of at least 24 months.
Background: In the present study, we aimed to identify the obliteration outcomes, complications, and predictors in gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) at a tertiary center in a developing country in a 15-year experience.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data and GKRS procedures of patients who had undergone GKRS from 2006 to 2011 (cohort 1) and from 2011 to 2020 (cohort 2) at Cho Ray Hospital, Vietnam. The exclusion criteria included patients with <24 months of follow-up without obliteration or AVM-related hemorrhage during the study period.
Background: Patient safety culture is an important measure in assessing the quality of care. There is a growing need to establish a patient safety culture in hospitals. This study explored the perception of health professionals on patient safety culture in 2 public hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam.
