Abstract:

Background: Many physicians continue to fear iatrogenic complications of the total contact cast, and use of this modality has remained restricted to a segment of the orthopaedic and podiatric communities. I examined the actual rate of complications and the factors associated with them in a large consecutive series of total contact casts drawn from the practice of a single surgeon to determine whether this modality is safe for multiple conditions in the neuropathic foot and ankle. Method: A consecutive series of 398 total contact casts spanning a 28-month period from the practice of a single physician were analyzed. All casts were placed by the same team of orthotists. This study comprised 70 patients with severe peripheral neuropathy; an average of 5.69 sequential casts per patient were placed. Three-hundred and sixty-seven casts were placed in diabetic patients, and 31 in patients with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. By protocol, the initial cast was changed at an interval of no more than 1 week. On occasion, subsequent casts were left on longer, but on average casts were left in place for 7.69 days. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the contribution of patient factors to the chance of ulceration. Results: Complications occurred in 22 casts, including six new pretibial ulcers, six new midfoot ulcers, four forefoot or toe ulcers, five hindfoot ulcers, and one malleolar ulcer. In no case was a preexisting ulcer made worse. This corresponds to an overall complication rate of 5.52% per cast. Overall, 30% of patients suffered one complication during the course of their treatment. With one exception, all new ulcers healed with simple modalities within 3 weeks, often with continued total contact casting. A single cast led to a proximal interphalangeal ulceration that exposed the joint and eventually required toe amputation. The rate of permanent sequelae from cast-related injuries was therefore 0.25%. In no case were the resultant odds ratios statistically different from 1.0, but several trends were observed. Charcot arthropathy represented the highest risk (odds ratio 1.46), while the presence of neuropathic ulceration was surprisingly benign (odds ratio 0.69). The presence of diabetes as opposed to other causes of neuropathy was associated with increased risk (odds ratio 1.34). The use of a cast after deformity-correcting surgery in a neuropathic patient was remarkably safe (odds ratio 0.44), as were casts in which the patient was instructed to remain nonweightbearing (odds ratio 0.27). Patient age was not a factor (odds ratio 1.03). The length of time the cast was left on was not statistically important (odds ratio 0.99), although strict protocols for cast changing likely altered this data. Conclusion: A frequently changed total contact cast is a safe modality for the offloading and immobilization of the neuropathic foot, albeit with an expected constant rate of minor, reversible complications. Patients should be informed of these complications and risks before cast application.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Guidelines recommend a policy of endoscopic follow-up of all gastric ulcers until healing. Analysis of data from the Alberta Endoscopy Project indicates that fewer than 50% of patients diagnosed with benign gastric ulcer had undergone a repeat procedure. The practice and attitudes of physician members of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) on the follow-up of such patients were assessed.METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to members of CAG. Respondents were asked to indicate their practice setting and to estimate the proportion of gastric ulcer patients in whom they perform follow-up endoscopy. They were also asked to indicate factors influencing this choice, including the role ofHelicobacter pylori.RESULTS: Fifty-seven per cent of 220 respondents indicated that they perform repeat endoscopy in 95% to 100% of individuals with benign gastric ulcer. The most common reasons influencing this choice were to ensure healing (86.3%) and to confirm the benign nature of the lesion (79.5%). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use (83.2%) and patient ill health (62.9%) were the most common reasons for not repeating the endoscopy. Twenty per cent of individuals indicated thatH pylorihad influenced a change in their practice.DISCUSSION: Physicians vary widely in their follow-up of benign gastric ulcer. Studies on the occurrence of gastric cancer in this setting are not unanimous in their conclusions. Subgroups of patients with NSAID exposure and successfully eradicatedH pyloriinfection may have a lower risk of malignancy. Studies to confirm this are warranted, and modified guidelines may be appropriate.

Abstract:

Posterior perforation of gastric ulcer is a rare clinical entity and has a propensity for delayed presentation and missed diagnosis. By virtue of their location, posterior gastric perforations may rupture into the retroperitoneum which leads to abscess formation and development of adhesions and consequently, leads to a delay in the onset of symptoms. Alternatively, ulcers located in the fundus or the body of the stomach may perforate into the lesser sac, which results in sealing off the perforation and less dramatic clinical signs and symptoms. This delay in presentation contributes to higher morbidity, higher infection rates and higher mortality. Thus, it is essential to have a high index of suspicion for this condition, particularly in patients with a protracted clinical presentation and classical risk factors so that timely, life-saving intervention is possible. We report a case of giant posterior gastric perforation with benign histopathology in a 40-years-old male. This case is being presented due to the rarity of this clinical entity and the relative paucity of literature on the same.

Abstract:

ObjectiveVaricose veins (VVs) are common and although considered benign may cause morbidity. However, the association between VV severity and cardiovascular and mortality risks remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with overall mortality in patients with VV.MethodsA total of 4644 patients with newly diagnosed VV between 1999 and 2013 were identified from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Database. VV severity was classified from grade 1 to 3 according to the presentation of ulcers or inflammation. Moreover, 9497, 2541 and 5722 age-matched, sex-matched and chronic cardiovascular risk factor-matched controls, as assessed based on propensity score, were separately selected for three grading VV groups. Enrolled patients were analysed using conditional Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to estimate risk of mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in the VV and control groups.ResultsMost patients with VV were free from systemic disease. However, compared with matched controls, patients with VV showed a 1.37 times increased risk of mortality (95% CI 1.19 to 1.57; p<0.0001). Compared with matched controls, older (age ≧65 years) (adjusted HR: 1.38; 95% CI 1.17 to 1.62; p=0.0001) and male patients with VV (adjusted HR 1.41; 95% CI 1.18 to 1.68; p=0.0001) showed increased risk of mortality. Furthermore, compared with controls, patients with VV showed 2.05 times greater risk of MACE. Compared with matched controls, population at grade 3 increased 1.83 times risk of mortality and 2.04 to 38.42 times risk of heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, ischaemic stroke and venous thromboembolism.ConclusionsThis nationwide cohort study demonstrated that patients with VV are at a risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Our findings suggest that presence of VV warrants close attention in terms of prognosis and treatment.

Abstract:

Objectives This study aimed to: (1) Estimate HPV prevalence and genotype distribution among female sex workers (FSWs) in Mali and Benin as well as the prevalence of multiple HPV type infections in this group, and (2) Identify potential risk factors associated with high-risk (HR) HPV infections. Methods We analyzed baseline data of 665 FSWs aged ≥ 18 years recruited during a prospective cohort of cervical cancer screening in Cotonou (Benin) and Bamako (Mali) from 2017 to 2018. The Linear Array HPV genotyping test was used to identify HPV genotypes. Descriptive statistics and multivariate log-binomial regression were used. Adjusted prevalence ratios (APR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were estimated to identify risk factors associated with HR-HPV infections. Results HPV data were available for 659 FSWs (Benin: 309; Mali: 350). The mean age was 35.0 years (± 10.7) in Benin and 26.8 years (± 7.6) in Mali. The overall HPV prevalence rates were 95.5% in Benin and 81.4% in Mali. About 87.7% and 63.4% of FSWs harbored ≥ 2 HPV types in Benin and Mali, respectively. The top three prevalent HR-HPV among FSWs in Benin were: HPV58 (37.5%), HPV16 (36.6%) and HPV52 (28.8%). Corresponding patterns in Mali were HPV16 (15.7%), HPV51 (14.3%) and HPV52 (12.9%). In Benin, the main factors associated with HR-HPV were vaginal douching (APR = 1.17; 95%CI:1.02–1.34) and gonococcal infection (APR = 1.16; 95%CI:1.04–1.28), while in Mali they were sex work duration ≤ 1 year (APR = 1.35; 95%CI:1.10–1.65) and HIV infection (APR = 1.26; 95%CI: 1.06–1.51). Conclusion Our study found a very high prevalence of HPV infection as well as high frequency of multiple HPV type infections in FSWs in two countries in West Africa. These findings suggest the necessity to emphasize cervical cancer prevention in this high-risk group.

Abstract:

Background:Cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis (SS) is common and one of the leading causes of mortality (up to 31%). Usually, it appears early and in a silent way. It can affect any cardiac structure and present with various manifestations. Cardiac disease worsens the prognosis and increases mortality, so it should be kept in mind in these patients.Objectives:Study the prevalence of arrhythmias in patients with SS, not affected with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or other cardiac diseases, and establish its association with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart dysautonomia (HD), as well as with other variables that could predict the development of this complication.Methods:Prospective study of a cohort of patients with SS, excluding those with heart disease, PAH or cardiovascular risk factors. All underwent a clinical assessment, blood test with cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter 24h (HLT) and echocardiogram (TTE), interpreted by an expert cardiologist blind about the patients. Arrhythmias were classified as clinically significant arrhythmias (CSA) or clinically nonsignificant arrhythmias (CNSA) by ECG and HLT. LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was defined as E/e’> 8, LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD) as a global longitudinal strain <20% and HD as a SDNN <100ms. Demographic, clinical and biological data were collected. A follow-up was performed at 6.2 ± 0.9 years. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 23 IBM®.Results:36 patients were included: age 56.7 ± 12.3 years (y), male / female 35/1, disease duration 7 ± 4.1 y. 66% belonged to the limited SS subtype, 66.6% were anti-centromere+, 25% anti-topoisomerase, 2.7% anti-PM/Scl and 2.7% anti-RNA polymerase III+. Raynaud was present in a 100%, telangiectasia in 55.6% and interstitial lung disease in 36.1%. The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) was ≤ moderate (0-29 points) in 55.6%; 27.8% had presented digital ulcers that required prostaglandins.27.8% had LVDD, 22% LVSD, 11.1% LVDD + SD and 16.7% HD. 50% (18/36) of patients had ECG alterations, of which 44% corresponded to CSA (Table 1) and, 55.6% (20/36) HLT alterations, of which 75% were CSA (Table 2). 3/36 patients had both HLT and ECG CSA. In 1 patient, impaired LV ejection fraction was detected; in none, valvular disease. 38.8% had elevated NT-proBNP and 13.9% troponin T (TnT). No correlation was found between any parameters and CSA.Table 1.ECG abnormalities.*CSA.Alterations# PatientsMajorComplete Left Bundle Branch Block (BBB)*1MinorAbnormal QRS prolongation in precordial leads1Nonspecific ST-T wave changes3Incomplete Left BBB*3Incomplete Right BBB*4OtherQT prolongation11Table 2.HLT alterations.*CSA.AlterationsSubtype# PatientsSupraventricular ExtrasystolesUncommon7Frequent*3Mono/Polymorphic0Nonsustained Supraventricular Tachycardia*7Ventricular ExtrasystolesBenign4No Benign*4Doublets1Two Morphologies2Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm11st-degree Atrioventricular Block1Sinus Tachycardia2A correlation was found between mRSS and DLCO (p=0.002), DLCO and digital ulcers (p=0.001), and mRSS and digital ulcers (p=0.005). A correlation was also found between elevated NT-proBNP and TnT (p=0.006) and between elevated NT-proBNP and LVDD (p=0.049).At follow-up after 6.2 ± 0.9 y, 2 patients had died: 1 of neoplasia and 1 of severe biventricular dysfunction 5.2 y after the study.Conclusion:Our data confirm a high prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias and left dysfunction in patients with SS, without heart disease, cardiorespiratory symptoms or HAP, being up to 75% of the arrhythmias CSA. The lack of correlation between CSA and LVSD or DD indicates that arrhythmias could be due, not only to a supposed structural alteration of the myocardium, but to a primary and early cardiac involvement in SS. In addition, the lack of correlation between CSA in ECG and HLT reinforces the importance of a complete cardiac evaluation in these patients to rule out silent cardiac involvement.Disclosure of Interests:LILIAN LÓPEZ-NÚÑEZ: None declared, Irene Carrión Barberà Grant/research support from: I received a grant from the Spanish Rheumatology Foundation (FER) and laboratories KERN PHARMA for a brief stay abroad., Isabel Padró: None declared, Lluis Molina: None declared, Ana Pros: None declared

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Although it is well known that pressure ulcers are associated with negative patient outcomes and increased hospital cost, there is little research related to pressure ulcers in an intensive care unit population. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative contribution of risk factors in the development of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients. METHOD: In an exploratory descriptive design, a convenience sample of 85 adults was used. Patients were enrolled in the study within 24 hours of admission to the intensive care unit; data were collected every other day until discharge from the intensive care unit. Instruments included a demographic data form, Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk, Skin Assessment Tool, and Decubitus Ulcer Potential Analyzer. RESULTS: The most common reasons for admission to the intensive care unit included multiple trauma from motor vehicle accidents, gunshot and stab wounds, and gastrointestinal bleeding. A pressure ulcer developed in 48 subjects. There were no significant differences in age, gender, history of diabetes or smoking, or medical diagnoses between patients in whom a pressure ulcer developed and those in whom it did not. Data analysis indicated that a Braden Scale score of 11, rather than the recommended score of 16, was statistically significant for predicting pressure ulcer risk. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that a cut-off score on the Braden Scale could be specific to an intensive care unit trauma population.

Abstract:

A quality review revealed pressure ulcers at the ala of nose in 16 cases (2.2%) over 3 years. We therefore retrospectively investigated the risk factors for alar pressure ulcers from nasal tubes. Male gender was the highest risk factor (odds ratio = 9.1411; 95% confidence interval = 1.680–170.58), and the second highest risk factor was duration of anesthesia (odds ratio = 1.0048/min of anesthesia; 95% confidence interval = 1.0034–1.0065). Male gender and duration of anesthesia appear to be risk factors for nasal tube pressure ulcers at the ala of nose in patients.

Abstract:

Our study mainly focuses on the determinants of credit risk of Beninese banks. Theoretical and empirical literature teach us that both external and internal factors are the determinants of credit risk. From a sample of seven (07) commercial banks (only one of which is listed on the BRVM), we tested the simultaneous effect of external and internal factors on credit risk over the period 2004-2013. After an econometric analysis on panel data (fixed effect model estimated by the PCSE method), it appears that the "growth of GDP", "credit by signature", "interest margin" and the "proportion of institutional administrator "are the determinants of credit risk. Therefore, political authorities and bank officials could improve credit risk management by issuing policies on these factors.

Abstract:

Background: To analyse the risk-factors contributing to infection with multidrug-resistant organisms.Methods: 150 diabetic patients with foot ulcer were prospectively studied. Detailed clinical history and clinical examination of the ulcer were done for all patients. The microbiological profile was analyzed for each patient. Using internationally accepted criteria, the multidrug-resistant organisms were identified. Risk factors for acquiring MDRO infection were identified using appropriate statistical tools.Results: MDRO were isolated from 99 patients of 150 (66%). 54.8% (153 out of 279) of isolated organisms were multidrug-resistant organisms. By univariate analysis poor glycaemic control, previous hospitalisation, previous history of amputation, previous antibiotic usage, size of the ulcer, necrotic ulcer, recurrent ulcers, higher grade of ulcer, the presence of osteomyelitis, the presence of retinopathy, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy and polymicrobial culture, were significantly associated with MDRO infected foot ulcers. Analysis by logistic regression indicated that only two factors significantly increased the risk of acquiring MDRO infection. They are recurrent ulcer (OR = 3.39, p <0.05, 95% CI = 1.081-10.664) and higher grade of ulcer (OR = 13.44, p <0.001, 95 % CI =3.595-50.278).Conclusions: The prevalence of MDRO is alarmingly high in infected diabetic foot ulcers. Recurrent ulcers and higher grade of ulcers are more prone to acquire MDROs.

Abstract:

BackgroundPressure ulcers are one of the most underrated conditions in critically ill patients. Despite the introduction of clinical practice guidelines and advances in medical technology, the prevalence of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients continues to escalate. Currently, consensus is lacking on the most important risk factors for pressure ulcers in critically ill patients, and no risk assessment scale exclusively for pressure ulcers in these patients is available.ObjectiveTo determine which risk factors are most predictive of pressure ulcers in adult critical care patients. Risk factors investigated included total score on the Braden Scale, mobility, activity, sensory perception, moisture, friction/shear, nutrition, age, blood pressure, length of stay in the intensive care unit, score on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, vasopressor administration, and comorbid conditions.MethodsA retrospective, correlational design was used to examine 347 patients admitted to a medical-surgical intensive care unit from October 2008 through May 2009.ResultsAccording to direct logistic regression analyses, age, length of stay, mobility, friction/shear, norepinephrine infusion, and cardiovascular disease explained a major part of the variance in pressure ulcers.ConclusionCurrent risk assessment scales for development of pressure ulcers may not include risk factors common in critically ill adults. Development of a risk assessment model for pressure ulcers in these patients is warranted and could be the foundation for development of a risk assessment tool.

Abstract:

Objective: to identify risk factors for the occurrence of pressure ulcers in adult individuals with spinal cord injuries in neurological rehabilitation. Methods: integrative review of studies published in the bases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences. Results: 308 studies were found, with six articles selected, based on pre-established inclusion criteria. The number of risk factors found was similar during and after neurological rehabilitation. Conclusion: the risk factors found for the occurrence of pressure ulcers during and after neurological rehabilitation, were related to sociodemographic conditions, the spinal cord injury itself, associated with clinical condition and behavior. With the exception of complete injury and a history of pressure ulcers, risk factors varied during and after rehabilitation stages.

Abstract:

Diabetic foot disease is a major medical, social, and economic problem. This retrospective study assessed the profile of diabetes mellitus patients with foot ulcers in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Nigeria. Admission records of all patients admitted unto the medical wards of UCTH over a 5 year period were analysed. The records of diabetic patients were retrieved. Data on patient characteristics and possible risk factors for diabetes mellitus foot ulcers was extracted. Of the 3,882 patients admitted, 297 (7%) were on account of complications of diabetes mellitus. Foot ulcers accounted for 63 (21.2%) of all diabetic admissions. The elderly constituted the majority of patients admitted with foot ulcers. The average duration of stay of diabetics with foot ulcers was 38.5 days. Diabetics admitted for other conditions had average duration of admission of 15.8 days. Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest organism isolated from swabs of foot ulcers. Most of the organisms identified from ulcer swab cultures were sensitive to quinolones and resistant to penicillins. These diabetic foot ulcers were significantly associated with peripheral sensory neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, intermittent claudication, and walking barefoot. An effective diabetes foot programme is required to address these risk factors and reverse the current trend.

Abstract:

Youth suicidality is considerably prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, including Benin. Factors such as psychosocial distress, socio-environmental factors, and health risk behaviors are associated with suicidality. However, little is known about how these factors co-occur in these countries. An analysis of these factors taken together would help to identify the profiles most at risk and better target prevention policies. Our study aimed to identify profiles related to these factors and their association with suicidality among adolescents in Benin. Data from the 2016 Global School-Based Student Health Survey were used, and factors related to lifestyle (tobacco and alcohol consumption and physical activity), physical violence, parental support, and psychological distress were studied. Latent class analysis was used to identify the profiles, and a modified Poisson regression with generalized estimating equations, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, was performed to assess the association between these profiles and suicidality. The survey results show that globally, 13.8% of the adolescents (n = 2536) aged 11 to 18 had thought about suicide, 15.6% had planned suicide, and 15.6% had attempted suicide. Four profiles were identified: a low-risk group, one with psychological distress problems, a group with violence problems, and one with alcohol, tobacco, and violence problems. The risk of suicidality, in terms of ideation, planning, or attempting, was higher for adolescents in Profiles 2, 3, and 4 than those in Profile 1 (p < 0.05). Adolescents in Profile 2 were particularly affected by this increased risk (prevalence ratio (PR) for ideation = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.03–1.23; PR for planning = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.04–1.22; PR for attempting = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.01–1.17). This study highlights the typical profiles that may be linked with suicidality among adolescents in Benin. A holistic consideration of these factors could help in planning better preventive measures to reduce suicidality among adolescents in Benin.

Abstract:

Perforated peptic ulcers continue to be an important problem in surgical practice. In this study, risk factors for peptic ulcer perforation-associated mortality and morbidity were evaluated. This is a retrospective study of patients surgically treated for perforated peptic ulcer over a decade (March 1999–December 2014). Patient age, sex, complaints at presentation, time lapse between onset of complaints and presentation to the hospital, physical findings, comorbidities, laboratory and imaging findings, length of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality were recorded. The Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score were calculated and recorded for each patient on admission to the hospital. Of the 149 patients, mean age was 50.6 ± 19 years (range: 17–86). Of these, 129 (86.5%) were males and 20 (13.4%) females. At least 1 comorbidity was found in 42 (28.1%) of the patients. Complications developed in 36 (24.1%) of the patients during the postoperative period. The most frequent complication was wound site infection. There was mortality in 26 (17.4%) patients and the most frequent cause of mortality was sepsis. Variables that were found to have statistically significant effects on morbidity included age older than 60 years, presence of comorbidities, and MPI (P = 0.029, 0.013, and 0.013, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, age older than 60 years, presence of comorbidities, and MPI were independent risk factors that affected morbidity. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, age older than 60 years [P = 0.006, odds ratio (OR) = 5.99, confidence interval (CI) = 0.95] and comorbidities (OR = 2.73, CI = 0.95) were independent risk factors that affected morbidity. MPI and APACHE II scoring were both predictive of mortality. Age older than 60, presentation time, and MPI were independent risk factors for mortality. Undelayed diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of the utmost importance when presenting with a perforated peptic ulcer. We believe close observation of high-risk patients during the postoperative period may decrease morbidity and mortality rates.
