Common Risk Factors

Central venous catheters (CVC) are used in many clinical settings for a variety of indications. We performed a systematic literature review concerning case reports of retained calcified fibrin sheaths after dialysis CVC removal. The aim of our study was to systematize the knowledge regarding clinical management of this phenomenon, placing special emphasis on diagnostic radiological features in different imaging modalities, including chest radiography, echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. We discuss the most common risk factors associated with this CVC complication. In our review, we found eight cases of hemodialysis patients. The most common risk factors associated with calcified fibrin sheath formation in the analyzed cases were pro-thrombotic and pro-calcification factors related to patient comorbidities, and prolonged catheter dwell time. Differentiating between a calcified fibrin sheath (present in about 6% of patients with long-term indwelling CVC as diagnosed by computed tomography) and a retained catheter tip can be challenging. The initial diagnosis based on imaging methods was incorrect in most of the analyzed cases. This suggests that some cases of retained fibrin sheaths may remain undetected or misinterpreted. This is important in patients with known pro-thrombotic and pro-calcification risk factors and prolonged catheter dwell time. Therefore, implementation of preventive strategies, familiarity with radiological findings of this phenomenon, comparison with previous imaging studies, and an overall comprehensive assessment with clinical data is imperative.

Introduction: Small for gestational age (SGA) refers to birth weight of neonates less than 10th percentile for gestational age or 2nd standard deviation below the population norms on the growth charts. Aims: To identify common risk factors and common morbidities for small for gestational age babies. Methods: This is a cross sectional descriptive study and it has been conducted at Department of pediatrics, Nepalgunj Medical college which is a tertiary level teaching hospital located in western part of Nepal. All term small for gestational age neonates born during study period from January 2020 to December 2020 were included. Detailed baseline demographic and clinical profile has been collected and recorded in the predesigned Proforma. Results: The most common risk factors associated with small for gestational age babies in our study were maternal hypertension (14.6%) , maternal GDM(9.6%), Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in 1st or 2nd trimester of pregnancy, maternal anemia, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypothyroidism and congenital heart disease. The most common short term complications associated with Small for gestational age babies were hypoglycemia and Meconium aspiration syndrome. Conclusion: The most common risk factors associated with Small for gestational age  babies in our study were maternal hypertension, maternal Gestational diabetes Mellitus (GDM), Urinary Tract Infection  in 1st or 2nd trimester of pregnancy, maternal anemia, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypothyroidism and congenital heart disease. The most common short term complications associated with Small for gestational age  babies were hypoglycemia and Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS).

Background During childbirth, the maternal need for intensive care unit (ICU) services is not well-defined. This information could influence the decision whether to incorporate ICU services into the labor and delivery suite. Methods This study reports (1) ICU use and mortality rates in a statewide population of obstetric patients during their hospital admission for childbirth, and (2) the risk factors associated with ICU admission and mortality. A case-control design using patient records from a state-maintained anonymous database for the years 1984-1997 was used. Outcome variables included ICU use and mortality rates. Results Of the 822,591 hospital admissions for delivery of neonates during the study period, there were 1,023 ICU admissions (0.12%) and 34 ICU deaths (3.3%). Age, race, hospital type, volume of deliveries, and source of admission independently and in combination were associated with ICU admission (P < 0.05). The most common risk factors associated with ICU admission included cesarean section, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and postpartum hemorrhage (P < 0.001). Black race, high hospital volume of deliveries, and longer duration of ICU stay were associated with ICU mortality (P < 0.05). The most common risk factors associated with ICU mortality included pulmonary complications, shock, cerebrovascular event, and drug dependence (P < 0.05). Conclusions This study shows that ICU use and mortality rate during hospital admission for delivery of a neonate is low. These results may influence the location of perinatal ICU services in the hospital setting.

Objective: To identify the common risk factors associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Methodology:This case-control observational study was conducted in the department of neurology and medicine, DMCH from May 2010 to April 2011 for a duration of 1 year. The study included purposively selected 80 persons. Patients attending the outdoor and admitted in indoor of department of neurology and medicine, DMCH with a clinically suspected CTS and established by electrophysiological parameters selected as cases (group –I) . Healthy volunteers and subjects who were devoid of any features of CTS but having history with isolated injury to the lower limb nerve and isolated facial nerve palsy with normal electrophysiological parameters selected as control (group –II). Data were collected by interview of the patients, clinical examination and laboratory investigations using the research instrument. Result: The mean age was 42.7±9.8 years with range from 24 to 64 years and 41.1±9.1 years with range from 26 to 61 years in group-I and group-II respectively. The proportion of male and female patients was similar in both the study groups. Male Female ratio was 1: 7 in both groups. In this study it was observed that hypothyroidism was found 25.0% in group I and 5.0% in group II, which was significantly (p<0.05) higher in carpal tunnel syndrome patients. Diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in carpal tunnel syndrome patients, which was 22.5% in group I and 7.5% in group II. Rheumatoid arthritis was found 20.0% in group I and 5.0% in group II, which was significantly (p<0.05) higher in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Pregnancy was found 11.4% in group I and 2.9% in group II. CKD with hemodialysis was found 17.5% and 7.5% in group I and group II respectively. In pregnancy and CKD with hemodialysis difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05) among the two groups. Regarding obesity it was found in this present series that 42.5% and 17.5% patients were obese in group I and group II respectively. Obesity was significantly (p<0.05) higher in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. In this study it was found in multivariate analysis that patients with hypothyroidism 1.28 times, DM 2.20 times, RA disease 3.84 times, obesity 5.9 times more likely to be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome but CKD with hemodialysis patients and pregnancy were not significantly associated in multivariate analysis. In this study it was also found that almost a half (47.5%) of the patients was housewives followed by garment workers (27.5%) and clerical workers (22.5%) in group I, which indicates that carpal tunnel syndrome was more common among housewives. Conclusion: A conclusion can be made from the above mentioned result that CTS is multifactorial. Obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis are commonly associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Moreover female sex and age were also associated with CTS. This study also found that patients diagnosed as having work-related CTS have a high prevalence of concurrent medical conditions capable of causing CTS without respect to any particular occupation.
