M-A | The efficacy of Kangaroo-Mother care to the clinical outcomes of LBW and premature infants

21 Mar, 2023 | 13:35h | UTC

Summary: Kangaroo-Mother Care (KMC) is a method that involves skin-to-skin contact between the mother and newborn, frequent exclusive or almost exclusive breastfeeding, and early discharge. KMC is an alternative to traditional care interventions for low birthweight (LBW) infants, and the World Health Organization has recommended its use for LBW infants for over a decade.

The authors conducted a meta-analysis including 17 randomized clinical trials involving 17,668 participants. They found that KMC can significantly reduce neonatal mortality, lower hypothermia and sepsis rates, and reduce the duration of hospital stay. The authors suggest that KMC should be promoted, popularized, and standardized in clinical practice.

SR | Environmental interventions can reduce falls in high-risk older adults

14 Mar, 2023 | 13:58h | UTC

Summary: Falls and fall-related injuries are common among older adults and can have serious consequences, such as restricting activity or institutionalization. The Cochrane review aimed to assess the effects of environmental interventions, such as fall-hazard reduction, assistive technology, home modifications, and education, on preventing falls in older adults living in the community.

The review included 22 randomized controlled trials from 10 countries involving 8,463 community-residing older people. The study found that home fall-hazard interventions, which involve evaluating potential fall hazards and implementing safety adaptations or behavioral strategies, can reduce the rate of falls by 26% and the number of people who experience one or more falls by 11% in people at a higher risk of falling.

On the other hand, the study did not find any evidence of a decrease in the rate of falls when the interventions were not targeted toward individuals at higher risk. Additionally, the study suggests that these interventions are unlikely to have a significant impact on health-related quality of life, and there may be little or no difference in the risk of fall-related fractures, hospitalizations due to falls, or the rate of falls that require medical attention.

SR | Ultrasound‐guided arterial cannulation in the pediatric population

7 Mar, 2023 | 13:15h | UTC

Summary:

This updated systematic review analyzed nine randomized controlled trials comparing ultrasound guidance to traditional methods of locating arteries for cannulation, such as palpation and Doppler auditory assistance.

The review found that ultrasound guidance probably improves first-attempt success rates, reduces the risk of complications such as hematoma formation, improves success rates within two attempts and the overall rate of successful cannulation, and reduces the number of attempts and duration of the cannulation procedure.

However, the review also notes that the evidence is only of moderate certainty due to the inability to mask the doctors performing the cannulation and the limited number of children studied. More research is needed to confirm the benefits of ultrasound guidance for arterial cannulation in different age groups of children.

M-A | Global and regional prevalence of multimorbidity in the adult population in community settings

22 Feb, 2023 | 12:47h | UTC

Summary: The article presents a systematic review and meta-analysis of surveys that estimate the prevalence of multimorbidity among adults in community settings. The study analyzed data from 126 peer-reviewed studies, including nearly 15.4 million people from 54 countries worldwide. The overall global prevalence of multimorbidity was 37.2%, with South America having the highest prevalence, followed by North America, Europe, and Asia. The study also found that females have a higher prevalence of multimorbidity than males, and that more than half of the adult population worldwide above 60 years of age had multimorbid conditions.
