Computer records were accessed documenting in-hospital accessions to the food animal service maintained by the University of Missouri, College of Veterinary Medicine between January 1, 2001 and December 6, 2004. For each species category, the prevalence and relative risk (RR) of after-hours admission were calculated. The prevalence of after-hours visits varied from 0.040 for swine to 0.234 for South American camelidae. Using cattle as a reference level, the relative risk for an after-hours admission was decreased in swine (RR = 0.51) and increased in South American camelidae (RR = 3.04) and sheep or goats (RR = 1.66). The likelihood of an after-hours admission differed significantly among groups.

Supervision of Pediatric Anesthesia After-Hours: A Survey of Pediatric Anesthetists in Australia and New Zealand.
Paediatr Anaesth

Flinders University, College of Medicine and Public Health, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
Background: After-hours pediatric anesthesia may pose increased risks, with a heightened potential for sudden cardio-respiratory decline. While mortality rates are low in Australia and New Zealand, critical events and morbidity occur more frequently and present ongoing challenges. However, little is known about how trainees are supervised during these high-risk periods.

Introduction: cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is considered the standard of care for many clinical cardiovascular applications. Magnetic resonance imaging is a scarce resource in sub-Saharan Africa, with a paucity of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging clinical services and research. The aim of this audit was to review the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging service provided at a public tertiary hospital in Cape Town, Western Cape Province, South Africa.

- Residents of supported disability homes in Victoria, Australia, frequently call the Victorian Poisons Information Centre for guidance following medication incidents, with a total of 391 calls logged during a three-month period.
- The majority of incidents involved missed doses (37%) and accidental overdoses (20%), with calls predominantly occurring outside regular business hours (73%).
- Many incidents involved moderate to high-risk medications, highlighting significant gaps in medication management support, particularly after hours, for both residents and disability support workers.
Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention during Off-Hours: One-Decade Experience from a High-Volume Cardiovascular Center.

November 2024
Instituto de Cardiologia - Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Saúde, Porto Alegre, RS - Brasil.
Background: The impact of performing a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) off-hours on clinical outcomes is not well established.
Objective: Compare characteristics and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) of pPCI off-hours versus on-hours in a high-volume cardiology center.
Methods: Prospective cohort of patients who underwent pPCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from 2009 to 2019.
Health Care Utilization After a Visit to a Within-Group Family Physician vs a Walk-In Clinic Physician.

ICES, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Austin, Bai, Kiran, Paterson, Tadrous, Ivers, Lapointe-Shaw)
Purpose: Primary care access is a key health system metric, but little research has compared models to provide primary care access when one's regular physician is not available. We compared health system use after a visit with a patient's own family physician group (ie, within-group physician who was not the patient's primary physician) vs a visit with a walk-in clinic physician who was not part of the patient's family physician group.
Methods: We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study using administrative data from Ontario, Canada, including all individuals formally enrolled with a family physician, from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.
