Abstract Background Falls in hospital are adverse events with serious consequences for the patient. Fall risk assessment requires easy tools that are suitable for the specific clinical context. This is important to quickly identify preventing measures. The aim of the study is to identify an appropriate scale for assessing fall risk in patients from an emergency department. Methods For the fall risk assessment in the emergency department, three scales were identified in literature: Kinder 1, MEDFRAT, and Morse. MEDFRAT and Morse classify the patient in high, moderate, and low risk; Kinder 1 split patients “at risk” (also when there is only one positive item) and “non-risk” (in which all items are negative). The study was carried out in July 2019 in an Italian emergency department. Patients who arrived in triage were assessed for the fall risk using the three scales. Results On a sample of 318 patients, the used scales show different levels of fall risk. For Kinder 1, 83.02% is at risk and 16.98% is not at risk; for MEDFRAT, 14.78% is at high risk, 15.09% moderate, and 70.13% low risk; for Morse, 8.81% is at high risk, 35.53% moderate, and 56.66% low risk. As Kinder 1 implies as “high risk” that all items of the questionnaire are positive, to compare Kinder 1 to the other scales with three measurements, we assumed only one positive response as “moderate risk”, all negative responses as “low risk”. Thus, Kinder 1 shows no cases at high risk, 83.02% moderate risk, and 16.98% low risk. All the scales show that the moderate-high risk increases with age. MEDFRAT and Morse have concordant percentages for young (13.6%), elderly (61.2%), and long-lived (66.6%) people. Kinder 1, 59%, 96.7%, and 100%, respectively. Conclusions The comparison between scales shows inhomogeneity in identifying the level of risk. MEDFRAT and Morse appear more reliable and consistent. Key messages An appropriate assessment scale is important to identify the fall risk level. Identifying accurate fall risk levels allows for implementing specific prevention actions.

Aim. To assess the specifics of antihypertension therapy (AHT) in hypertensives of various cardiovascular risk, in the registry of chronic non-communicable diseases in Tyumenskaya oblast.Material and methods. A random sample studied, of 1704 patients with hypertension, inhabitants of Tyumenskaya oblast (region), ascribed to dispensary follow-up. Mean age 62±7,5 y.o. Of those 31,5% (n=537) males. The prevalence and efficacy of AHT assessed according to cardiovascular risk level. The significance was evaluated with the criteria χ2.Results. AHT was characterized by the growth of the frequency of treatment approaches with cardiovascular risk consideration. Regular treatment took 33,9% patients of low and moderate risk vs 41,3% of high and very high (p<0,01). In the male group such tendency also took place. Gender specifics of AHT was characterized by that in the groups of high and very high risk females took medications significantly more commonly than males — 46,6% vs 29,1% in high risk group (p<0,01) and 47,5% vs 30% in very high risk group (p<0,01). With the increase of the risk level, there was decline of treatment efficacy — from 95% in low risk group to 32,5% in very high risk group; 53,1% of the participants were taking monotherapy, 32,9% — two drugs, 14,0% — ≥3 drugs. With the increase of risk grade there is tendency to increase of combinational AHT, however with no significant increase of efficacy. Treatment efficacy in high and very high risk patients comparing to patients with low and moderate risk was significantly lower — 33,1% vs 69,7% (p<0,01), respectively. Statins intake among the high and very high risk patients was 10,6-11,0% males and 7,8% females (p<0,05).Conclusion. AHT in hypertensives in Tymenskaya oblast, under dispensary follow-up, is characterized by insufficient usage of combinational drugs. With the raise of cardiovascular risk there is tendency to higher rate of combinational AHT. However there is no significant increase in efficacy of treatment with the increase of medications number. A very low rate of statins intake is noted. The obtained specifics witness for the necessity to optimize AHT among the high and very high risk patients — inhabitants of Tyumenskya oblast.

Abstract Background - Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE), comprised of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is associated with significant mortality and morbidity and the overall incidence is rising, leading to its recognition as a leading quality and patient safety concern in pediatric hospitals. Risk-based prophylactic strategies are used in adults but a paucity of high quality evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of these interventions in the pediatric population. Defining an objective assessment of VTE risk to guide standard approaches to the use of mechanical and/or pharmacologic prophylaxis (in the absence of contraindications) is a desirable strategy to decrease HA-VTE incidence while minimizing potential risks associated with prophylaxis. Methods- With Institutional Review Board approval, we retrospectively evaluated electronic health record data from 39 patients age 0-21 years (inclusive) who developed VTE more than 48 hours after admission to Children's Hospital Colorado (Aurora, CO, USA) from January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014. We identified purported HA-VTE cases via ICD-9 discharge diagnosis codes, then two different reviewers cross-referenced and validated with pharmacy and radiology records. We evaluated the HA-VTE patient's VTE risk scores (high, moderate, or low) using our institutional VTE prevention clinical care guideline (CCG) at discrete time points prior to clot diagnosis, as well as whether the patient received mechanical and/or pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis. Objectives: We sought to determine the ability of our CCG to accurately assess HA-VTE risk prior to clot development and to assess the utilization and timing of thromboprophylaxis. Results: Of the 39 patients who developed a HA-VTE during the study period, CCG-based risk assessment on the day before the event had identified four (10.3%) patients as low risk, two (5.1%) as moderate risk, and 33 (84.6%) as high risk, as seen in Table 1. This distribution represents an overall increase in risk score compared to those determined on admission when 13 (33.3%) were low risk, 4 (10.3%) were moderate risk, and 22 (56.4%) were high risk. Admission risk scores tended to hold steady or increase during the hospitalization (Figure 1) and only one patient experienced a decrease in risk level prior to HA-VTE diagnosis. HA-VTE patients often had high risk scores as early as seven or even 14 days prior to the event, and 20 (51%) of the patients who developed HA-VTE were high risk during the entire admission. Of the HA-VTE patients, 19 (48.7%) were receiving thromboprophylaxis on the day prior to the event. 4 (21.1%) received pharmaceutical type only, 12 (63.2%) received mechanical type only, and 3 (15.8%) received both types. Conclusion: Institutional CCGs can be used to determine HA-VTE risk stratification in hospitalized children, thereby informing decisions regarding initiation of thromboprophylaxis as a preventative strategy in the absence of contraindications. Comparison to a group of age group- and risk level-matched control patients who did not develop HA-VTE is underway and will give appropriate context to the high risk designation as it pertains to HA-VTE incidence and the impact of thromboprophylaxis strategies.

Background: As inpatients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), identifying high-risk patients requiring thromboprophylaxis is critical to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with VTE. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the validities of the Padua Prediction Score and Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) in predicting the risk of VTE in inpatients with AECOPD. Methods: The inpatients with AECOPD were prospectively enrolled from seven medical centers of China between September 2017 and January 2020. Caprini and Padua scores were calculated on admission, and the incidence of 3-month VTE was investigated. Results: Among the 3277 eligible patients with AECOPD, 128 patients (3.9%) developed VTE within 3 months after admission. The distribution of the study population by the Caprini risk level was as follows: high, 53.6%; moderate, 43.0%; and low, 3.5%. The incidence of VTE increased by risk level as high, 6.1%; moderate, 1.5%; and low, 0%. According to the Padua RAM, only 10.9% of the study population was classified as high risk and 89.1% as low risk, with the corresponding incidence of VTE 7.9% and 3.4%, respectively. The Caprini RAM had higher area under curve (AUC) compared with the Padua RAM (0.713  0.021 vs 0.644 ± 0.023, P = 0.029). Conclusion: The Caprini RAM was superior to the Padua RAM in predicting the risk of VTE in inpatients with AECOPD and might better guide thromboprophylaxis in these patients.

Background This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the triad risk assessment score and the sports injury rate in 116 female college athletes (average age, 19.8 ± 1.3 years) in seven sports at the national level of competition; 67 were teenagers, and 49 were in their 20s. Methods Those with menstrual deficiency for >3 months or <6 menses in 12 months were classified as amenorrheic athletes. Low energy availability was defined as adolescent athletes having a body weight <85% of ideal body weight, and for adult athletes in their 20s, a body mass index ≤17.5 kg/m2. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured on the heel of the right leg using an ultrasonic bone densitometer. Low BMD was defined as a BMD Z-score <−1.0. The total score for each athlete was calculated. The cumulative risk assessment was defined as follows: low risk (a total score of 0–1), moderate risk (2–5), and high risk (6). The injury survey recorded injuries referring to the injury survey items used by the International Olympic Committee. Results In swimming, significantly more athletes were in the low-risk category than in the moderate and high-risk categories (p = 0.004). In long-distance athletics, significantly more athletes were in the moderate-risk category than in the low and high-risk categories (p = 0.004). In the moderate and high-risk categories, significantly more athletes were in the injury group, whereas significantly more athletes in the low-risk category were in the non-injury group (p = 0.01). Significantly more athletes at moderate and high-risk categories had bone stress fractures and bursitis than athletes at low risk (p = 0.023). Discussion These results suggest that athletes with relative energy deficiency may have an increased injury risk.
