Recall of medication during pregnancy: Validity and accuracy of an adjusted questionnaire

Objective — To study the validity and accuracy of an adjusted questionnaire on medical drug use during pregnancy eight years after the pregnancy. Methods — The ability of a questionnaire on medication during pregnancy to detect actual use (= sensitivity) was tested against information collected 8 years previously (in 1983–1984) from 473 women with high-risk pregnancies who delivered at the University Hospital Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Results — For separate drug groups, the sensitivity varied between 5% and 91%. The timing of use was recalled moderately well. Although specific questions on drug groups did improve the sensitivity as compared to an earlier questionnaire, the improvement was not enough to make the questionnaire valid. High maternal education, low birth weight, low gestational age and a low 5-min Apgar score were related to better recall. The sensitivity of the questionnaire depended on the behavioural score of the child, implying recall bias. Conclusion — Questionnaire data on drug use during pregnancy obtained eight years after delivery are not a valid source of information.     

炎症性肠病患者生存质量与其应对方式和社会支持的相关性

目的探讨炎症性肠病(IBD)患者的生存质量及其与应对方式和社会支持的相关性.方法应用中文IBD问卷(IBDQ)、简明健康调查问卷(SF-36)、简易应对方式问卷、社会支持评定量表对71例IBD患者(IBD组)进行调查,并与103名正常人(对照组)进行比较.结果IBD患者SF-36及各维度评分显著低于对照组(均P＜0.01),积极应对评分亦显著低于对照组(P＜0.01).IBD患者的积极应对和社会支持与其生存质量呈正相关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),消极应对与生存质量呈负相关(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).结论IBD患者的生存质量水平较低,良好的应对方式和社会支持能提高其生存质量.     

产后抑郁症相关因素调查研究

目的探讨产后抑郁症的相关因素.方法采用分层整群抽样方法,对长沙市4所医院300例产后6周复查的初产妇进行Edinburgh产后抑郁量表与自编问卷调查.结果产后抑郁症的发生率为17.3%;产妇年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度与产后抑郁症无关(均P＞0.05),分娩疼痛承受力、分娩方式、新生儿性别、母婴同室、母乳喂养为产后抑郁症的影响因素(P＜0.05、P＜0.01),且分娩方式是产后抑郁症的危险因素,分娩疼痛承受力与母婴同室是保护因素.结论产后抑郁症发生率较高,其影响因素应引起产科工作人员的重视.     

Requiring Consent vs. Waiving Consent for Medical Records Research: A Minnesota Law vs. the U.S. (HIPAA) Privacy Rule

The use of medical records in research can yield information that is difficult to obtain by other means. When such records are released to investigators in identifiable form, however, substantial privacy and confidentiality risks may be created. These risks become more common and more serious as medical records move to an electronic format. In 1996, the state of Minnesota enacted legislation with respect to consent requirements for the use of medical records in research. This legislation has been widely criticized because--it is claimed--it creates an unnecessary impediment to research. In this article, we show that these arguments rest upon misinterpretation and/or misrepresentation of the 1996 legislation. A consent requirement had actually been present in Minnesota since 1976 (though codified in a patient rights statute rather than a privacy statute). The 1996 law does not require specific consent, as often claimed, but rather only a general authorization. The campaign against the Minnesota legislation appears to have been motivated by concern with respect to the then impending federal privacy rule. The HIPAA rule, as enacted, is in fact less stringent with respect to consent than the Minnesota consent law. On the other hand, the Minnesota consent law has not been effectively applied or enforced. As we change the way we manage sensitive medical information, new efforts are needed to provide protection against the confidentiality risks in research. Patient consent is an important tool in this regard. New instrumentalities are needed to solicit and document consent.

Transplant data: sources, collection and research considerations, 2004

The process of collecting and analyzing transplant data is complex. Familiarity with how these data are collected is crucial to a thorough understanding of the information. This article focuses on available OPTN-SRTR data and the continuing evolution of data collection mechanisms; how that data collection system is improving the data quality and reducing the data collection burden; how additional ascertainment of outcomes both completes and validates existing data; and caveats that remain for researchers. This year's article focuses further on research considerations related to cohort choice, timing of data submission, and potential biases in follow-up data. Ongoing improvements in data collection timeliness and scope are covered. The impact of extra ascertainment of outcomes, particularly for post-transplant kidney graft failure from Medicare data, are also examined. A section on graft failure reporting among different sources traces the steps by which the SRTR reconciles different data sources in its analyses. It is important that those reading and conducting transplant research understand the origin, structure, and scope of the available data. All of these issues should be carefully considered when choosing cohorts and data sources for analysis.     

Effet apaisant du sucre chez le nouveau-né: revue de la littérature

Résumé  Le saccharose, administré à une concentration d’au moins 12% chez le nouveau-né à terme (24% chez le prématuré), en petite quantité (0,05 à 2 ml), dans une seringue ou mieux dans une tétine, 2 minutes avant la réalisation d’un soin douloureux avec effraction cutanée (microprélèvement, ponction veineuse), permet de réduire, plus rarement d’abolir, les comportements de détresse et/ou de douleur (pleurs et manifestations faciales). Il s’agit d’un moyen simple, non médicamenteux, et utilisable partout, qui doit pouvoir représenter une aide non négligeable chez les nouveau-nés, pour la prise en charge de la douleur provoquée par des soins modérément douloreux. Il peut être utilisé seul, mais son action limitée rend préférable de l’envisager comme technique adjuvante. Son mode d’action reste encore peu clair, ainsi que sa tolérance en cas d’administrations pluri-quotidiennes.

---

Summary  Sucrose of at least 12% concentration delivered to full-term infants (24% concentration for preterm infants), in a small volume of 0.05 to 2 ml, through a syringue or better through a pacifier, 2 minutes before blood sample such as heel-stick or venipuncture, can attenuate or hardly abolish stress and/ or pain (crying and facial expressions). It is a simple non pharmacological treatment, helpful in the management of pain related to moderate painful procedures. As it exerts moderate effects, it is better used as an adjuvant treatment than used alone. Mechanisms of effects are not clear yet, as well as the occurrence of adverse effects when repeated daily administrations.

     

先天性心脏病患儿术后多脏器功能障碍的预后分析

目的 探讨小儿先天性心脏病(先心病)术后多脏器功能障碍(MODS)预后情况及其影响因素,为对此类患儿进行针对性护理提供依据.方法 收集先心病术后并发MODS 77例患儿的临床资料.结果 11例放弃治疗出院,66例中44例救治存活,22例死亡.出现时间最早、累及最多的脏器为心脏;病死率最高的为累及中枢神经系统的患儿(57.69%),其次是累及血液系统的患儿(55.56%);患儿的病死率与累及脏器的数量呈显著正相关(P＜0.01).死亡患儿手术体外循环时间和主动脉阻断时间显著长于存活患儿(均P＜0.05),术中意外及术后心肺复苏发生率显著高于存活患儿(均P＜0.05).结论 先心病术后患儿应加强心功能监护,特别是体外循环时间＞120 min,主动脉阻断时间＞60 min及术中发生过意外情况、术后采取过心肺复苏术的患儿;尽早采取有利措施避免其他脏器功能受损是提高患儿存活率的关键.
