Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Regression Toward the Mean

6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.0K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.6K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.4K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Prenatal care (PNC) is linked to preterm birth (PTB) risk. Inadequate or suboptimal PNC significantly increases PTB odds, with this association strengthening over time.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Prenatal care (PNC) is crucial for maternal and infant health.
  • Preterm birth (PTB) remains a significant global health concern.
  • Existing studies suggest a link between PNC utilization and PTB rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate trends in PTB over nearly three decades.
  • To assess the association between varying levels of PNC utilization and PTB.
  • To examine how the association between PNC and PTB has evolved over time.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of singleton, nonanomalous deliveries from 1991-2018.
  • PNC utilization categorized as adequate (≥8 visits), suboptimal (5-7 visits), or inadequate (<5 visits) based on WHO guidelines.
  • Logistic regression analysis to determine the association between PNC and PTB, with effect modification by birth year.

Main Results:

  • 15% of 92,294 deliveries resulted in PTB.
  • Inadequate PNC (aOR 6.21) and suboptimal PNC (aOR 3.57) were significantly associated with higher odds of PTB compared to adequate PNC.
  • The association between inadequate PNC and PTB intensified over time, with odds ratios increasing from 5.4 in 1998 to 9.1 in 2018.

Conclusions:

  • Despite increased adequate PNC utilization, PTB rates have risen.
  • Inadequate and suboptimal PNC are significant risk factors for PTB.
  • The risk of PTB associated with insufficient PNC has become more pronounced in recent years.
