Nursing home residents are at a higher risk of suicidal ideation, and depressive symptoms and limitations on activities of daily living (ADL) are presumed to be contributory factors, whereas resilience may buffer the negative effects of risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and the moderating effect of resilience on suicidal ideation to dilute the adverse contribution of ADL limitation and depressive symptoms. A stratified random sampling was used to recruit 538 residents from 37 nursing homes in China. Participants' suicidal ideation, resilience, depressive symptoms, and ADL limitation were measured and tested by structural equation modeling. Statistics show that 14.9% of participants had suicidal ideation and the model where resilience moderated the effects of ADL limitation and depressive symptoms on suicidal ideation had the best model fit index. This suggests that positive psychological interventions for resilience building might be effective in reducing suicidal ideation.Purpose To develop a prediction model for postoperative complications after primary one-stage hypospadias correction to improve preoperative parental counseling. Materials and methods In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from 356 patients with anterior or middle hypospadias who had a one-stage hypospadias correction from 2003 onwards. Potential treatment- and patient-related factors were selected and used to develop a prediction model for postoperative complications within one year (wound-related complications, urinary tract infections, fistulas, stenosis, and prepuce-related complications). Multivariable logistic regression analysis with stepwise backward selection and a p-value of 0.20 was used to select the final model, which was internally validated using the bootstrap procedure. Results Complications within one year postoperatively occurred in 66 patients (19%), of which 13% and 37% were seen in anterior and middle type of hypospadias, respectively. Hypospadias phenotype, surgical technique, chordectomy, and surgeon's experience were included in the final prediction model, whereas none of the patient-related factors were. The final model had a good discriminative ability (bias corrected C statistic 0.70) and calibration. Conclusion Using easily obtainable information, this model showed good accuracy in predicting complications within one year after hypospadias surgery. It is a first step towards individualized risk prediction of postoperative complications for anterior and middle hypospadias and can assist in preoperative parental counseling. Type of study Prognostic study. Level of evidence Level II.Purposes The descending thoracic aorta typically crosses posterior to the left mainstem bronchus (LMSB). We sought to evaluate patient factors that may lead one to consider a posterolateral descending thoracic aortopexy (PLDA) in addition to a posterior tracheopexy (PT) in the surgical treatment of symptomatic tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) that involves the LMSB. Methods Retrospective review of patients who underwent PT with or without PLDA between 2012 and 2017. Severity and extent of TBM were assessed using dynamic tracheobronchoscopy. Lazertinib Aortic positioning compared to the anterior border of the spine (ABS) at the level of the left mainstem bronchus was identified on computed tomography (CT). Factors associated with performing a PLDA were evaluated with logistic regression. Results Of 188 patients who underwent a PT, 70 (37%) also had a PLDA performed. On multivariate analysis, >50% LMSB compression on bronchoscopy (OR 8.06, p 50% anterior to the ABS. Level of evidence III TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective comparative study.Aim We examined the management and outcome of patients suffering complex paediatric lower limb injuries with bone and soft tissue loss. Method Patients were identified from our prospective trauma database (2013-2018). Inclusion criteria were age ( less then 18 years) and open lower-limb trauma. We assessed severity of soft tissue and/or bone loss, fracture complexity, surgical techniques and time to surgery. Paediatric quality of life and psychological trauma impact scores (HRQOL and CRIES), Ganga Hospital Injury Severity score (GHISS), union and complication rates were measured. Results We identified 32 patients aged between 4 and 17 years. Twenty-nine patients had open tibia fractures including 14 patients with bone loss, one patient had an open femur fracture, one patient an open talus fracture and one an open ankle fracture with dorsal degloving. Thirty injuries were classified intra-operatively as Gustilo IIIB (or equivalent) and two injuries as Gustilo IIIC. In 10 patients primary skin closure was achieConclusion Limb salvage and timely fracture union is possible in children with complex lower limb trauma. Early intervention providing adequate debridement, skeletal stabilisation and early soft-tissue cover including the option of free microvascular reconstruction in small children when required, delivers acceptable outcomes. A multidisciplinary team approach including clinical psychologists to address the psychological impact of trauma provides optimal holistic care for these children and adolescents. Therefore, treatment for these patients should only be performed in paediatric major trauma centres.Research question Is it feasible to perform a future definitive trial to determine the effectiveness of the positive reappraisal coping intervention (PRCI) in improving the psychological well-being of women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) during the early stages of a new pregnancy? Design This mixed method study aimed to establish the feasibility of conducting a multicentre randomized controlled trial (RCT) to definitively test the effects of the PRCI on the psychological well-being of women with RPL. Participants (n = 75) were recruited to the study and at the point of a positive pregnancy test, 47 were randomized into two study groups. The intervention group received the PRCI and weekly questionnaire assessment (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Weekly Record Keeping Form [WRK]) to monitor psychological well-being; the control group received the same questionnaires. Nested within the RCT was a qualitative process evaluation (QPE) exploring participants' subjective experience of study methods and the intervention.
