Healthcare-acquired Sars-Cov-2 infection: A viable legal category?
Int J Risk Saf Med. 2023;34(2):129-134. doi: 10.3233/JRS-220062.ABSTRACTIn the context of the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic, according to the various periods of emergency and the rate of infections, hospitalized subjects also contracted the infection within the ward, sometimes with the development of disease (COVID-19) and sometimes with permanent damage. The authors wondered if Sars-Cov-2 infection should be considered on a par with other infections acquired in the healthcare setting. The non-diversified diffusion between the health and non-health sectors, the ubiquity of the virus and the high contagiousness, together with the fac...

A systematic review and meta-analysis for risk factor profiles in patients with resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection relative to control patients
CONCLUSION: The exposure of carbapenem, amikacin (previous) and mechanical ventilation were the most significant risk factors for multidrug, extensive-drug, and carbapenem resistance in patients with A. baumannii infection respectively. These findings may guide to control and prevent resistant infections by identifying the patients at higher risk of developing resistance.PMID:37154184 | DOI:10.3233/JRS-220037 (Source: International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine)

A comparison of opioid prescription trends in England and the United States from 2008 to 2020
CONCLUSION: The data indicate that levels of opioid prescribing in England are now similar to those in the US. They remain high in both countries, despite recent falls. This suggests the need for further measures to prevent over-prescribing and to support people who would benefit from withdrawing from these drugs.PMID:37154185 | DOI:10.3233/JRS-220040 (Source: International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine)

Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in renal transplant patients: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: We observed possible NSAID-induced AKI to an extent of around 15.2% in our renal transplant patients. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of AKI between various NSAIDs and none of them had either graft failure or death.PMID:37154186 | DOI:10.3233/JRS-220065 (Source: International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine)

Acute renal failure and cardiac arrhythmias associated with remdesivir use in patients with COVID-19 infections: Analysis using the US FDA adverse event reporting system
CONCLUSION: This hypothesis-generating study identified AKI and cardiac arrhythmias associated with remdesivir use in patients with COVID-19 infections. The relationship between AKI and cardiac arrhythmias should be further investigated using registries or large clinical data to assess the impact of age, genetics, comorbidity, and the severity of Covid infections as potential confounders.PMID:37154187 | DOI:10.3233/JRS-220009 (Source: International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine)

Workplace policies and quality of working life (QoWL) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordanian hospitals
CONCLUSION: Our findings highlighted the vital need for QoWL and psychological well-being support services for healthcare staff during pandemics. Improved IPC systems and other precautionary measures at the national and hospital management levels are required to help minimize the stress and fear that healthcare workers experience and lower the risk of COVID-19 and future pandemics.PMID:37154188 | DOI:10.3233/JRS-220039 (Source: International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine)
