Assessing Barriers and Difficulties to Healthcare Access Among Syrian Refugees in Jordan: An Observational Study.
Healthcare (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Nursing, School of Health Science, University Thessaly, Gaiopolis, 41500 Larissa, Greece.
(1) Background: Worldwide, refugees may have some difficulties in accessing healthcare services. However, little is known about the factors that may predict the level of accessibility to the public healthcare system in the host countries. (2) Aim: To examine the level of accessibility of Syrian refugees to the public healthcare system in Jordan and further to identify the prediction of socioeconomic factors and barriers to healthcare access.

Adrenomedullin optimises mortality prediction in COPD patients.
Respir Med
June 2015
Clinic of Pneumology and Respiratory Cell Research, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: Current multicomponent scores that predict mortality in COPD patients might underestimate the systemic component of COPD. Therefore, we evaluated the accuracy of circulating levels of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) alone or combined with the ADO (Age, Dyspnoea, airflow Obstruction), updated ADO or BOD (Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnoea) index to predict all-cause mortality in stable COPD patients.
Methods: This study pooled data of 1285 patients from the COMIC and PROMISE-COPD study.
"Blame it on the Comorbidities": A 5-Year Follow-Up of 53 Chronic Dialysis-Dependent Patients Who Underwent Cardiac Surgery.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the midterm survival rates and mortality risk factors for patients on chronic dialysis who undergo cardiac surgery, analyzing data from 53 patients operated on between March 2007 and May 2012.
- The 30-day mortality rate was found to be 24.5%, while the survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 82%, 50%, and 17%, respectively; most deaths during follow-up were linked to noncardiac issues, especially peripheral arterial disease.
- The study concluded that while the short-term mortality rate was high, midterm survival rates were similar to other studies; however, factors like age, gender, and various surgical specifics did not significantly impact survival outcomes.
Exertional hypoxemia in stable COPD is common and predicted by circulating proadrenomedullin.
Chest
August 2014
Department of Pneumology, University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: The prevalence of exertional hypoxemia in unselected patients with COPD is unknown. Intermittent hypoxia leads to adrenomedullin (ADM) upregulation through the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 pathway. We aimed to assess the prevalence and the annual probability to develop exertional hypoxemia in stable COPD.
