AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Lack of knowledge and negative attitudes were the main reasons for refusal, in a vaccination programme against hepatitis B using plasma-derived vaccine which was offered to the hospital personnel of Chulalongkorn University Hospital, Bangkok. Therefore, to ascertain whether an educational intervention among hospital personnel is effective in modifying acceptance of the vaccine, a quasi-experimental design (using a before and after approach) was used to compare the knowledge, attitudes and acceptance rate of hepatitis B vaccination among 1,915 hospital personnel. After dissemination of information, knowledge and attitudes improved significantly, and acceptance rates were increased from 56.9% to 77.7% (P < 0.0000). More specific educational efforts should be started before launching vaccination programmes of this kind in order to increase acceptance.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a widely used surgery for portal hypertension. In clinical practice, the diameter of the stent forming a shunt is usually selected empirically, which will influence the postoperative portal pressure. Clinical studies found that inappropriate portal pressure after TIPS is responsible for poor prognosis; however, there is no scheme to predict postoperative portal pressure.
