The clamping time of the umbilical cord showed no association with jaundice, bilirubin dosage, or phototherapy needs in neonates at normal risk. The adoption of late clamping was more prevalent in vaginal deliveries.
A cross-sectional study conducted with 28 mother-infant dyads, users of a Family Health Center of Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, that aimed to identify the nursing diagnoses of breastfeeding, their frequency of occurrence, defining characteristics, and the value of maternal confidence based on the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale. Data collection happened during September and October 2010, using interviews, anamnesis, and physical examination of the dyad. The most prevalent diagnosis was Effective breastfeeding (50%). The breastfeeding self-efficacy scale revealed significance in the presence of the nursing diagnoses Effective breastfeeding and the absence of Interrupted breastfeeding. Although the diagnosis Effective breastfeeding presented a significant occurrence, we verified the need for effective actions of nurses in the breastfeeding process.
Background: To evaluate the association between delays in obstetric care and neonatal near-miss mortality events and death in a public maternity referral center. Methods: This case-control study enrolled 142 neonates, meeting the near-miss criteria of 5-min Apgar < 7, weight < 1500 g, gestational age < 32 weeks, and use of mechanical ventilation or congenital malformation, as well as 284 controls (without the near-miss criteria), at a ratio of 1:2. After follow-up, the following outcomes were reclassified: survival of the neonatal period without the near-miss criteria (true "controls"), "near-miss," and "neonatal death." Maternal sociodemographic characteristics, prenatal care, and pregnancy resolution were evaluated. Pearson's chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used. Simple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between the three delay factors with near-miss outcomes and/or neonatal death. The variables that had maintained values of p < 0.05 were subjected to multinomial logistic regression. Results: Comparisons revealed the following associations: for controls and near-miss events, delayed access to health services due to a lack of specialized services (odds ratio [OR], 3.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8-5.1) and inappropriate conduct with the patient (OR, 12.1; 95% CI, 1.3-108.7); for controls and death, absent or inadequate prenatal care (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.6-7.1) and delayed access to health services due to a lack of specialized services (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.1-5.6); and for near-miss events and death, absent or inadequate prenatal care (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.0-5.0). Logistic regression for the combined outcome (near-miss plus neonatal deaths) revealed absent or inadequate prenatal care (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.2-2.8), lack of specialized services (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.7-4.5), and improper conduct with the patient (OR, 10.6; 95% CI, 1.2-91.8). Conclusions: The delays in obstetric care associated with the presence of near-miss and/or neonatal death included absent or inadequate prenatal care, delayed access to health services due to a lack of specialized services, and inappropriate conduct with the patient.
Objectives: to evaluate factors associated with neonatal near miss and death in reference hospitals. Methods: this case-control study included 364 cases and 728 controls among 4,929 births. Cases were identified by Apgar < 7 at 5 minutes, weight < 1500 g, gestational age <32 weeks, mechanical ventilation or congenital malformation. After follow-up, outcomes were reclassified into: true controls, near miss and neonatal death. Hierarchically, variables with a p-value < 0.20 were included in the multiple logistic regression. Results: the neonatal near miss rate was 54.1 per 1,000 live births, and the near-miss-to-death ratio was 2.75. Between the control and near miss groups, the predictor variables were neonatal intensive care admission [OR = 35.6 (16.7 - 75.9)] and central venous access [OR= 74.8 (29.4 - 190.4)]. Between the control and death groups, neonatal intensive care admission [OR = 100.4 (18.8 - 537.0)] and central venous access [OR = 12.7 (3.7 - 43.2)] were significant. Between the near miss and death groups, only Apgar < 7 at 5 minutes [OR = 4.1 (1.6 - 10.6)] and vasoactive drug use [OR = 42.2 (17.1 - 104.5)] were significant. Conclusion: factors associated with a greater chance of near miss and/or neonatal death were: Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes, neonatal intensive care confinement, having central venous access, and use of vasoactive drugs.
outcomes. Event rates over time will be estimated within each treatment group using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results: In total, 70 patients were included in the analysis. Median age was 61y (33-83), 56% female, 34% right-sided tumors, and 56% received 2 or more prior chemotherapy lines. Overall, median PFS was 5.2 months (m) (CI 95% 4.1-8.5) and median OS (mOS) was 10.3 m (CI 95% 6.5-20.2). BRAF MAF was >5% in 14 pts (35%), <5% in 10 pts (25%), and undetectable in 16 pts (40%) with a mOS of 4.2 m, 17.1 m (HR 0.21, p<0.001), and 17.5 m (HR 0.15, p<0.001), respectively. In the multivariate analysis the most parsimonious model included five factors: ECOG, presence of liver metastases, CEA, NLR levels, and BRAF MAF. We stratified patients into three risk prognostic groups based on their number of presenting risk factors. These three prognostic groups showed differentiated OS outcomes, with a median OS of 5.1 m, 8.4 m (HR 0.26, p<0.001), and 21.8 m (HR 0.05, p<0.005), respectively. Added to this, WES analysis showed a clinical benefit of targeted therapy in those tumors with a BRAF/EGFR gain as well as an enrichment of response in RNF43 mutated tumors. Conclusions: Our preliminary data suggest that cfDNA BRAF MAF may constitute a significant tumor load surrogate with correlation with overall survival. cfDNA BRAF MAF and WES could help to identify three subgroups of patients with different prognostic and predictive features that could potentially have therapeutic implications.Legal entity responsible for the study: The author.
RESUMOObjetivo:analisar as medidas de acurácia dos indicadores clínicos do diagnóstico de enfermagem Desobstrução ineficaz de vias aéreas.Método:estudo transversal, realizado com 205 crianças asmáticas atendidas no setor de emergência de um hospital municipal da cidade de Fortaleza – CE. Utilizou-se roteiro de entrevista e avaliação pulmonar para a coleta de dados.Resultados:o diagnóstico Desobstrução ineficaz de vias aéreas esteve presente em 89,3% da amostra. Os indicadores clínicos mais prevalentes foram dispnéia, mudança na frequência respiratória, mudança no ritmo respiratório, ortopnéia, ruídos adventícios e tosse ineficaz. Os indicadores clínicos de maior sensibilidade foram dispnéia, mudança na frequência respiratória, mudança no ritmo respiratório, ortopnéia e ruídos adventícios respiratórios. Tosse ineficaz e ruídos adventícios respiratórios foram os indicadores com melhor especificidade.Conclusão:o indicador clínico ruídos adventícios respiratórios foi o melhor preditor para desobstrução ineficaz de vias aéreas em crianças asmáticas atendidas em emergência.
Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas brasileiras acerca de critérios usados para identificação de casos de near miss neonatal. Método: Estudo de revisão integrativa nas bases de dados Pubmed/Medline, Scielo e Lilacs. Foram incluídos artigos originais de autoria brasileira que abordassem critérios para identificação de near miss neonatal; texto completo; publicados em português, inglês ou espanhol; período de publicação compreendido entre 2007 a 2017; com apresentação consistente dos resultados, métodos e população. Os termos de busca foram: near miss, neonatal, mortalidade neonatal e morbidade neonatal nas versões português e inglês. Resultados: Cinco estudos contemplaram a revisão, dois estudos transversais, dois estudos de coorte e um estudo descritivo de base de dados. Observou-se inexistência de uma definição para determinar o near miss neonatal. Os marcadores Apgar de 5 minutos < 7 e ventilação mecânica parecem mais concordantes entre os autores; variações ocorrem entre as idades gestacionais e os pesos de nascimento. Conclusões: Houve uma mostra restrita, ainda que crescente, de estudos nacionais, estes não apresentaram consenso sobre os critérios, mas alguns marcadores comuns mostraram-se capazes de identificar e predizer o near miss neonatal, notadamente os baixos peso ao nascer, idade gestacional e Apgar do quinto minuto de vida.
