BACKGROUND: Advances in paediatric type 1 diabetes management and increased use of diabetes technology have led to improvements in glycaemia, reduced risk of severe hypoglycaemia, and improved quality of life. Since 1993, progressively lower HbA1c targets have been set. The aim of this study was to perform a longitudinal analysis of HbA1c, treatment regimens, and acute complications between 2013 and 2022 using data from eight national and one international paediatric diabetes registries. METHODS: In this longitudinal analysis, we obtained data from the Australasian Diabetes Data Network, Czech National Childhood Diabetes Register, Danish Registry of Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes, Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry, Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry, England and Wales' National Paediatric Diabetes Audit, Swedish Childhood Diabetes Registry, T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative, and the SWEET initiative. All children (aged ≤18 years) with type 1 diabetes with a duration of longer than 3 months were included. Investigators compared data from 2013 to 2022; analyses performed on data were pre-defined and conducted separately by each respective registry. Data on demographics, HbA1c, treatment regimen, and event rates of diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycaemia were collected. ANOVA was performed to compare means between registries and years. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to study significant breakpoints in temporal trends. FINDINGS: In 2022, data were available for 109 494 children from the national registries and 35 590 from SWEET. Between 2013 and 2022, the aggregated mean HbA1c decreased from 8·2% (95% CI 8·1-8·3%; 66·5 mmol/mol [65·2-67·7]) to 7·6% (7·5-7·7; 59·4mmol/mol [58·2-60·5]), and the proportion of participants who had achieved HbA1c targets of less than 7% (<53 mmol/mol) increased from 19·0% to 38·8% (p<0·0001). In 2013, the aggregate event rate of severe hypoglycaemia rate was 3·0 events per 100 person-years (95% CI 2·0-4·9) compared with 1·7 events per 100 person-years (1·0-2·7) in 2022. In 2013, the aggregate event rate of diabetic ketoacidosis was 3·1 events per 100 person-years (95% CI 2·0-4·8) compared with 2·2 events per 100 person-years (1·4-3·4) in 2022. The proportion of participants with insulin pump use increased from 42·9% (95% CI 40·4-45·5) in 2013 to 60·2% (95% CI 57·9-62·6) in 2022 (mean difference 17·3% [13·8-20·7]; p<0·0001), and the proportion of participants using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) increased from 18·7% (95% CI 9·5-28·0) in 2016 to 81·7% (73·0-90·4) in 2022 (mean difference 63·0% [50·3-75·7]; p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION: Between 2013 and 2022, glycaemic outcomes have improved, parallel to increased use of diabetes technology. Many children had HbA1c higher than the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) 2022 target. Reassuringly, despite targeting lower HbA1c, severe hypoglycaemia event rates are decreasing. Even for children with type 1 diabetes who have access to specialised diabetes care and diabetes technology, further advances in diabetes management are required to assist with achieving ISPAD glycaemic targets.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT: Missed, rationed or unfinished nursing care represents a global problem that jeopardizes the provision of quality and safe care. This phenomenon is frequently observed in adult, paediatric and child healthcare facilities and various care units. WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE: The findings of this review contribute valuable information to inform evidence-based practices, foster organizational improvements and ultimately optimize the overall quality of care in psychiatric healthcare settings. In addition, the review illuminates the far-reaching consequences of care on both patient and nurse outcomes, emphasizing the urgent need for tailored strategies to mitigate these effects. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Based on the synthesis of the literature, a thorough and continuous assessment of patient care needs in the physical, psychological and social domains is needed, primarily utilizing standardized instruments designed for psychiatric settings to ensure a comprehensive understanding of unmet needs. Based on identified unmet needs, nurses should develop individualized care plans and tailor interventions to address them. In addition, nurse managers must adopt and implement regular monitoring mechanisms to track the prevalence of unmet care needs and at the same time establish reporting systems that capture the proportion of unmet needs, allowing timely interventions and adjustments to care delivery. Lastly, nurse managers must not only emphasize the importance of ethical care practices and dignity-focused interventions but also educate healthcare providers, especially nurses, on the potential threats to patient dignity arising from unmet care needs. ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Despite frequent observations of unmet care needs in acute care adult settings, there are a limited number of studies that focus on investigating this phenomenon in the psychiatric setting. AIM: To synthesize the existing empirical research on unmet care needs in psychiatric healthcare settings. METHODS: The search was carried out in August 2023 in four scientific databases, PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science and OVID Nursing, based on their institutional availability. The search produced 1129 studies. The search and retrieval process reflected the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. RESULTS: This review included 14 studies investigating unmet care needs in the psychiatric healthcare setting. Unmet care needs included three domains: physical, psychological and social. The analysis of the factors revealed factors related to the characteristics of the organization, nurse and patient. DISCUSSION: The classification of unmet needs provides a comprehensive understanding of the various challenges facing people in psychiatric healthcare settings. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: Identified factors that influence the occurrence of unmet care needs will help prevent the occurrence of unmet care needs and timely assessment. The resolution of needs helps to achieve patient and nurse outcomes, increase the quality of care provided and patient satisfaction in a psychiatric healthcare setting.
BACKGROUND: Hyperkalaemia is a life-threatening electrolyte disturbance and also a potential cause of cardiac arrest. The objective was to assess the effects of acute pharmacological interventions for the treatment of hyperkalaemia in patients with and without cardiac arrest. METHODS: The review was reported according to PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023440553). We searched OVID Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL on September 9, 2024 for randomized trials, non-randomized trials, observational studies, and experimental animal studies. Two investigators performed abstract screening, full-text review, data extraction, and bias assessment. Outcomes included potassium levels, ECG findings, and clinical outcomes. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. RESULTS: A total of 101 studies were included, with two studies including patients with cardiac arrest. In meta-analyses including adult patients without cardiac arrest, treated with insulin in combination with glucose, inhaled salbutamol, intravenous salbutamol dissolved in glucose, or a combination, the average reduction in potassium was between 0.7 and 1.2 mmol/l (very low to low certainty of evidence). The use of bicarbonate had no effect on potassium levels (very low certainty of evidence). In neonatal and paediatric populations, inhaled salbutamol and intravenous salbutamol reduced the average potassium between 0.9 and 1.0 mmol/l (very low to low certainty of evidence). There was no evidence to support a clinical beneficial effect of calcium for treatment of hyperkalemia. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence supports treatment with insulin in combination with glucose, inhaled or intravenous sal-butamol, or the combination. No evidence supporting a clinical effect of calcium or bicarbonate for hyperkalaemia was identified.

Introduction: Pressure injuries have been identified as a problem in adults, but there is increasing recognition that they also occur in pediatric patients. Specific prevention in this population is essential because a high percentage of pressure injuries can be prevented. Objective: To identify interventions that prevent pressure injuries in the clinical pediatric care setting. Methods: Systematic review with a conducted search in CINAHL, PubMed, and Cochrane databases. A total of 301 articles were found, 225 were excluded after reviewing the title and abstract. The remaining papers were subjected to a full-text screening. Eligible studies were those that (a) described interventions to prevent pressure injuries, (b) were specifically aimed at pediatric patients (0-18 years), (c) were published in English or German, and (d) were conducted in a hospital. Results: A total of 37 studies were included. The data on interventions from the studies were extracted and clustered. The following eight categories of interventions for the prevention of pressure injury in pediatric patients were identified: (1) (Skin)Assessments, (2) Medical devices, (3) Positioning, (4) Education, (5) Moisture Management, (6) Nutrition Management, (7) Surfaces, and (8) Intervention bundles. The included studies described various interventions for pressure injury prevention. Most reported a significant reduction in pressure injury rates when intervention bundles were implemented. Conclusion: Nurses have to know about pressure injury causation, risk factors, and prevention strategies to implement the identified interventions and prevent pressure injuries in pediatric patients during hospital stays.
BACKGROUND: Estimating the risks and impacts of COVID-19 for different health groups at the population level is essential for orienting public health measures. Adopting a population-based approach, we conducted a systematic review to explore: (1) the etiological role of multimorbidity and frailty in developing SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19-related short-term outcomes; and (2) the prognostic role of multimorbidity and frailty in developing short- and long-term outcomes. This review presents the state of the evidence in the early years of the pandemic. It was conducted within the European Union Horizon 2020 program (No: 101018317); Prospero registration: CRD42021249444. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, World Health Organisation COVID-19 Global literature on coronavirus disease, and PsycINFO were searched between January 2020 and 7 April 2021 for multimorbidity and 1 February 2022 for frailty. Quantitative peer-reviewed studies published in English with population-representative samples and validated multimorbidity and frailty tools were considered. RESULTS: Overall, 9,701 records were screened by title/abstract and 267 with full text. Finally, 14 studies were retained for multimorbidity (etiological role, n = 2; prognostic, n = 13) and 5 for frailty (etiological role, n = 2; prognostic, n = 4). Only short-term outcomes, mainly mortality, were identified. An elevated likelihood of poorer outcomes was associated with an increasing number of diseases, a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index, different disease combinations, and an increasing frailty level. DISCUSSION: Future studies, which include the effects of recent virus variants, repeated exposure and vaccination, will be useful for comparing the possible evolution of the associations observed in the earlier waves.

CONTEXT: Carbohydrate-restricted diets are widely used as an effective treatment tool for many chronic diseases. The impact of these diets on physical health is well known, but their impact on psychological health is less well described in the scientific literature. This is an important aspect to focus on, especially if the diets are to be sustainable in the long term. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to systematically review the scientific literature describing the effect of carbohydrate-restricted diets and ketogenic diets on psychological outcomes, as observed in randomized controlled trials. Additionally, the potential synergistic effect of carbohydrate-restricted diets and exercise or social factors on these outcomes was researched. DATA SOURCES: Five databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and MEDLINE Complete) were searched without restriction of publication date. DATA EXTRACTION: The first data extraction was made in October 2020 and the second in May 2022. Abstract screening was performed by 3 independent reviewers. The quality of studies was assessed using the Jadad scale. DATA ANALYSIS: Sixteen randomized controlled studies were included in the analysis. Five studies focused on clinical populations, 9 on obese/overweight populations, and 2 on healthy populations; all studies examined adult people. Four psychological outcomes were identified (quality of life, mental health, mood, and fatigue), and they were examined in connection with a very low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet. CONCLUSION: Daily low-carbohydrate intake may not negatively affect psychological well-being, and low-carbohydrate diets and ketogenic diets are no worse than other diets in this respect. An intervention of 12 weeks or longer can bring benefits in psychological well-being. The synergistic effect of diet and exercise or social factors was not reviewed due to lack of evidence.
PURPOSE: The study aims to provide an updated overview of studies that show the impact of psychotherapeutic interventions on fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), to explore the relationship between FCR and related factors (psychological distress, well-being, anxiety, depression, fear, coping strategies, quality of life), and to identify the most effective therapeutic approaches in managing FCR. METHODS: Three databases were searched between January 2021 and April 2021 using the key words "fear of cancer recurrence - psychotherapy - intervention" following the a priori established PRISMA protocol. RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included in the final review. The database search identified 239 potential papers. After removing duplicates and irrelevant articles by title and language, population, and type of study, 13 articles were assessed for eligibility of the abstract, and 13 full-text articles were reviewed and included in this systematic review. The studies were mainly from the Netherlands (4 out of 13). Positive benefits of therapeutic interventions on FCR were reported. CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights challenges in using therapeutic approaches in dealing with FCR and its management. Therapeutic intervention is an effective means of managing not only FCR but also related factors (distress, well-being, quality of life). However, individual needs and preferences must be taken into consideration whilst choosing a therapeutic approach. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions are the most used approaches with CBT being the most effective, especially in a blended form (i.e. standard CBT combined with other self-help activities). IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: The aim was to provide information about the most effective therapeutic approaches for coping with FCR.

Telemedicine, understood as the provision of health care by a health professional to a patient who is physically not in the same location as the health professional, has many actual and potential benefits. It also has some disadvantages though, including a higher risk of misdiagnosis or another unfavorable outcome of certain remotely-provided services. In principle, the regime of legal liability for medical malpractice is the same for telemedicine as for traditional physical care. The general outline of the standard of care, which includes respect for medical science, the patient's individuality and objective possibilities, is abstract and flexible enough to be used for remote care without the need for redefinition. The quality of health care should be evaluated on the basis of the whole scale of risks and benefits it brings to a particular patient, including accessibility and comfort. In general, it should be permissible to provide a medical service remotely on the condition that its overall quality is at least as good as its comparable physical alternative. In other words, certain decrease in quality of some aspects of remote care can be compensated by other advantages. In terms of public health, support for telemedicine may bring a great improvement in the access to health care, and thus help significantly the individual members of the population. From the individual perspective, respect for personal autonomy implies that a patient should have every right to opt for a remote service, provided that there exists a true choice between meaningful options which is made on the basis of full information. If telemedicine is to fulfill its potential without sacrificing the protection of patients and their rights, reasonable guidelines for remote services need to be defined for particular medical fields, and for specific procedures within them. Among other issues, these guidelines must address the question of when it is necessary to refer the patient to physical care.

INTRODUCTION: Classifications are important clinical tools that enable data arrangement, patient categorisation and comparative research. The care of patients with end-stage renal disease who have vascular access requires collaboration of several specialists. In such a field, where several different specialties overlap, strong evidence and well-grounded recommendations for good practice are essential. In this protocol, we aim to search the literature to identify classification systems regarding vascular access for haemodialysis. This protocol serves as a pragmatic tool for setting a systematic approach using scoping review methodology. It also aims to make the study transparent and avoid potential duplication. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for the conduct of scoping reviews during the course of the proposed review. Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar and the ClinicalTrials.gov registry will be searched by two researchers. Titles and abstracts will be screened and articles featuring classifications regarding vascular access for haemodialysis will be eligible for full-text analysis. There will be no age, sex or race limitation for the study populations. The title and abstract (if abstract available) must be in English but there will be no language restrictions for full-text review. Databases will be searched from inception to the date of search. All patients indicated for creation or placement of vascular access will be eligible, as well as patients with already existing vascular access. Classifications regarding preprocedural assessment, vascular access insertion or creation, complications and their management will be included in the study. Classifications regarding peritoneal dialysis will not be eligible. A comprehensive summary of the available evidence will be presented. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The protocol and the review are exempt from ethical approval as there is no direct patient involvement and the review will summarise data from already published literature. The final article will be submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the host- and biomechanical response to a fully absorbable poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) scaffold in comparison with the response to polypropylene (PP) mesh. DESIGN: In vivo animal experiment. SETTING: KU Leuven Center for Surgical Technologies. POPULATION: Fourteen parous female Mule sheep. METHODS: P4HB scaffolds were surgically implanted in the posterior vaginal wall of sheep. The comparative PP mesh data were obtained from an identical study protocol performed previously. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gross necropsy, host response and biomechanical evaluation of explants, and the in vivo P4HB scaffold degradation were evaluated at 60- and 180-days post-implantation. Data are reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or standard error of the mean (SEM). RESULTS: Gross necropsy revealed no implant-related adverse events using P4HB scaffolds. The tensile stiffness of the P4HB explants increased at 180-days (12.498 ± 2.66 N/mm SEM [p =0.019]) as compared to 60-days (4.585 ± 1.57 N/mm) post-implantation, while P4HB degraded gradually. P4HB scaffolds exhibited excellent tissue integration with dense connective tissue and a moderate initial host response. P4HB scaffolds induced a significantly higher M2/M1 ratio (1.70 ± 0.67 SD, score 0-4), as compared to PP mesh(0.99 ± 0.78 SD, score 0-4) at 180-days. CONCLUSIONS: P4HB scaffold facilitated a gradual load transfer to vaginal tissue over time. The fully absorbable P4HB scaffold, in comparison to PP mesh, has a favorable host response with comparable load-bearing capacity. If these results are also observed at longer follow-up in-vivo, a clinical study using P4HB for vaginal POP surgery may be warranted to demonstrate efficacy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Degradable vaginal P4HB implant might be a solution for treatment of POP.
