background although iranian women increasingly attend hospitals for childbirth, no information is available on programs and practices related to infection control in labor and delivery units. conclusions the results of this study revealed a need for development of appropriate policies and protocols for infection control practices in labor and delivery units and also midwives training on clean d...

BACKGROUND The Tennessee Surgical Quality Collaborative analyzes NSQIP data from 21 participating hospitals. The Tennessee Surgical Quality Collaborative has reduced surgical complications, but causative factors are unclear. We sought to correlate surgical duration with complications to reveal mitigating strategies. STUDY DESIGN Risk-adjusted Tennessee Surgical Quality Collaborative data on 1...

BACKGROUND In March 2002 the Australian Industrial Relations Commission ordered the introduction of a new staffing method - nursing hours per patient day (NHPPD) - for implementation in Western Australia public hospitals. This method used a "bottom up" approach to classify each hospital ward into one of seven categories using characteristics such as patient complexity, intervention levels, the ...

T he incidence of severe sepsis (sepsis with organ dysfunction) is increasing (1). Several recently published studies have demonstrated decreased mortality and morbidity as a result of interventions and therapeutics applied to patients with sepsis (2–5). These new data, resulting from rigorously performed, randomized, controlled trials, combined with previous data for beneficial interventions n...

Late onset sepsis (LOS) is one of the main causes death in preterm infants a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). LOS can be better treated with early detection, reducing its morbidity and mortality. In this study, an end-to-end deep learning model called DeepLOS was developed to predict NICU. The based on residual convolutional neural network (ResNet) feature map (or channel) attention uses RR...

Sepsis is associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome, which has a significant impact on the prognosis of patients. Several studies have shown that microbiota plays role in sepsisinduced but relationship between and syndrome not fully understood. We conducted case-control single-center study 19 sepsis-induced patients 36 sepsis-noninduced to investigate clinical features expression. The...

Sepsis is an organ dysfunction caused by uncontrolled inflammatory response from the host to infection. main cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units (ICU) worldwide. One first organs suffer injuries resulting sepsis brain. The central nervous system (CNS) particularly vulnerable damage, mediated oxidative processes, which can sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), being report...

Background & Objective: Neonatal sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality in neonatology wards. The aim of this study was to assess sepsis pathogens and antibacterial resistance patterns in a teaching hospital during seven years in Tehran, Iran. Methods: In this retrospective study, all neonates suspected to seps...

a survey was .carried out to determine the incidence of sepsis after surgical operation. a total of 133 cases were studied. 33 percent of elean wounds w~reqffected by some. post operative sepsis and yielded pathogenic bacteria on culture. staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen but pseudomonas and e. coli were also common. cultures were taken from the staff, the environment and objec...
