AI Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review aimed to assess how nursing interventions can help prevent bacteremia associated with hemodialysis catheters, focusing on the rate of infection as the primary metric.
- * Results showed that with effective nursing management, vigilance, and education, bacteremia rates significantly decreased, ranging from 0.2 to 5.47 events per 1000 catheter days.
Article Abstract
Central venous catheter-related infection is the most common complication in patients on hemodialysis. Nursing care is essential for its maintenance, minimizing risk factors, and avoiding complications, such as bacteremia. A systematic review was conducted to identify the influence of nursing care on the prevention of bacteremia due to hemodialysis catheter. The primary endpoint was the bacteremia rate measured as number of events per 1000 catheter days. The rate of bacteremia in the studies ranged from 0.2 to 5.47 events per 1000 catheter days after the application of nursing care. Several studies have shown a significant reduction in central venous catheter bacteremia with the application of management protocols, appropriate vigilance, and monitoring, as well as the inclusion of the Plan Do Check Act cycle and education.

Background: Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are important biomarkers for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases; however, the general population also tests positive at a low frequency, especially in women. Although the effects of various autoimmune diseases on pregnancy outcomes have been studied, the association of ANA with pregnancy outcomes in healthy individuals is unclear. Preterm birth (PTB), a major cause of neonatal death or long-term health problems, is a complex condition with a multifactorial etiology, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Background: Despite progress made towards SDG 3, sub-Saharan Africa lags behind the rest of the world, accounting for over 50% of global neonatal deaths. The increased number of hospital births in the region has not reciprocated the reduction in neonatal mortality rates. Sick newborns face uncertain journeys from peripheral facilities to specialized centres arriving in suboptimal conditions, which impacts their outcomes, due partly to the scarcity of dedicated neonatal transport services.
