Objective: To analyze the reliability and validity of the SERVPERF questionnaire for assessing the quality of care from the patient's perspective in emergency departments for abdominal pain patients undergoing clinical ultrasound, as well as the influence of sex.
Design: Prospective study from March 2023 to April 2024 involving patients treated for abdominal pain who underwent clinical ultrasound.
Setting: Emergency department.
Aim: To study the adverse reactions that develop as a result of complex antibiotic therapy in patients with non-tuberculous lung mycobacterial (NTML) and to determine methods for their elimination without compromising the effectiveness of NTML treatment.
Materials And Methods: Examined 147 patients with confirmed NTML, for which they received treatment in accordance with the results of drug susceptibility of the pathogen. Before and during treatment, a study of clinical, biochemical blood tests, urinalysis, electrocardiogram, external respiration function, ultrasound of the abdominal organs and kidneys was performed.
