Background: Overall adherence in the treatment of chronic dermatoses is poor. Textbooks state an adherence dependence on galenics.
Trial Design: Prospective, randomized, parallel-grouped, single-blinded (investigator), monocentric clinical trial (phase IV) on the adherence to treatment of chronic mild to moderate hand eczema with topical methylprednisolone aceponate (MPA, Advantan®) in different vehicles.
Background: There have not yet been any prospective registry studies in Germany with active investigation of the long-term survival of patients with sepsis.
Methods: The Jena Sepsis Registry (JSR) included all patients with a diagnosis of sepsis in the four intensive care units of Jena University Hospital from January 2011 to December 2015. Long-term survival 6-48 months after diagnosis was documented by asking the treating general practitioners.
Objectives: Although delirium is often investigated, little is known about the outcomes of patients having acute neuropsychological changes at a single time point without fulfilling the criteria of full delirium. Our aim was to determine point prevalence, predictors, and long-term outcomes of delirium and acute neuropsychological changes in patients aged 60 years and older across different departments of a university hospital with general inpatient care.
Design: Prospective observational study.
Background: Recent population-based cohort studies have questioned the role of pneumococci as the most frequent pathogen causing severe infection in patients after splenectomy. The aim of the study was to define the causative pathogens and clinical presentation of patients with overwhelming postsplenectomy infection (OPSI).
Methods: In a prospective cohort study in 173 German intensive care units, we searched for patients with and without asplenia and community-acquired severe sepsis/septic shock.
