Outcomes of PCI of all comers: the experience of a Kuwaiti independent healthcare institution.

We present the cumulative percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) data of all comers (stable angina and acute coronary syndromes [ACS]) who presented to Hadi Clinic between January 2018 and December 2020. As a low-volume PCI centre in the Middle East, we wanted to find out if the outcomes of our PCI procedures are different from those of high-volume PCI centres in the UK and the Western world. Prospectively collected data of all comers for PCI (urgent and elective) were retrospectively analysed.

Pre-operative versus post-operative intravitreal aflibercept injection for management of DME in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Aim: The aim of this paper is to investigate the need of deferring cataract surgery until treating the co-existing diabetic macular edema (DME) using intravitreal (IVI) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF).

Methods: A prospective randomized interventional study included diabetic patients with visually significant cataract and DME. Patients were divided into 2 groups.

Deep Sclerectomy With Intrascleral Versus Suprachoroidal Collagen Implant: A Randomized Control Trial.

Prcis: Deep sclerectomy with intrascleral collagen implant (DSCI) was less effective in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) than with suprachoroidal implantation. Further studies are needed to establish the potency and safety of deep sclerectomy with suprachoroidal collagen implant (DSSCI).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the safety and IOP-lowering effect of DSSCI in comparison with DSCI.

The effect of nursing care on overall patient satisfaction and its predictive value on return-to-provider behavior: a survey study.

Objectives: To determine the extent of patient satisfaction with care provided at the hospital at all levels and to correlate patients' satisfaction with nursing care, in particular, with their overall satisfaction. Also, to assess the predictive value of patient satisfaction on subsequent return to the hospital.

Design: A survey study of a random sample of 420 inpatients to determine the extent of their satisfaction with the overall care provided at the hospital.

Transactional versus transformational style of leadership--employee perception of leadership efficacy in public and private hospitals in Kuwait.
