Background: We determined the impact of a system-wide multicomponent intervention to improve recognition and documentation of cognitive frailty syndromes on hospital administrative coding for delirium.
Methods: A multicomponent intervention including introduction of structured patient assessment including cognitive/delirium screen, regular audit/feedback and educational seminars was undertaken (2012-17). Sensitivity and specificity of administrative , 10th revision (ICD-10) delirium codes for the gold standard of prospectively clinically diagnosed delirium were calculated in consecutive patients admitted to acute medicine over five 8-week cycles (2010-18).
Results: Among 1,281 consecutive unselected admissions to acute medicine overall (mean / standard deviation age = 70.0/19.2 years; n=615 (48.0%) male), 320 had clinical delirium diagnosis (n=220 delirium only; n=100 delirium on dementia). Sensitivity of delirium coding increased from 12.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 5.6-26.7) in 2010 to 60.2% (95% CI 50.1-69.7; p<0.0001) in 2018 while specificity remained at >99% throughout.
Conclusion: A multicomponent intervention increased sensitivity of hospital administrative diagnostic coding for delirium almost six-fold without increasing the false positive diagnosis rate.

Background: A new paradigm of hybrid working exists, with most office workers sharing their work between the office and home office environment. Working from home increases time spent or prolonged sitting, which is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease. Interventions to reduce sitting time, specifically designed for both the office and home-office environments, are required to address this growing public health issue.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent bacterial and fungal infections that are attributed to reduced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by a multi-component enzyme complex known as the phagocyte NADPH oxidase or NOX2. Presented in this review are descriptions of several assays that assess the production of ROS as well as assays that characterize the expression of specific proteins of NOX2.

Background: Nigeria's reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health indicators have remained unsatisfactory in the face of poor-quality healthcare services. Nigeria initiated the reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent, elderly + nutrition (RMNCAEH+N) quality of care (QoC) agenda to address the challenge. The health management information system (HMIS) is integral to the agenda but there is sparse evidence on its performance so far.

Introduction: Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society launched the JEEViKA program in 2007 to improve livelihoods through the Self-Help Group (SHG) platform. Women's SHGs have shown members' health improvements by promoting awareness, practices and access to services. This study investigates whether Health & Nutrition (HN) interventions delivered by JEEViKA Technical Support Program (JTSP) via SHG platforms could improve maternal and newborn health and nutritional behaviors in rural Bihar.

Background: In individuals with depression a vicious circle tends to occur in which depressive symptoms cause an unhealthy lifestyle, which reversibly causes an increase in depressive symptoms; both of which are associated with a decreased life expectancy. A potential way to break this circle entails a multicomponent lifestyle intervention (MLI).
Aim: Exploring the barriers and facilitators for an MLI in patients with depressive symptoms from the perspective of general practitioners (GP), chronic disease practice nurses (CD-PN), mental health nurses (MHN), lifestyle coaches (LC) and patients (PT).
