Key summary points

Aim

To determine the proportion of non-conforming antidepressant prescriptions among nursing home residents and identify the associated institutional and demographic factors.

Findings

Despite the practice guidelines, non-conforming antidepressant prescribing is still of significant concern in nursing homes, in over one-third of the residents. Institutional factors, such as simple drug prescribing actions and accessible psychiatric care, are associated with better antidepressant conformance and should be taken into account in further research.

Message

A “quality process” by the nursing home might optimize antidepressant prescribing for residents.

Studie zur HIFU bei Prostatakrebs lässt viele Fragen offen

Führt eine HIFU-Ablation beim Prostatakarzinom im Vergleich mit einer radikalen Prostatektomie zu ähnlichen onkologischen, aber besseren funktionalen Ergebnissen? Interimsdaten der französischen HIFI-Studie sind uneindeutig. In einem Kommentar zur Studie werden zumindest drei allgemeine Erkenntnisse herausgearbeitet.

Leitlinienkonformes Management thermischer Verletzungen

Thermische Verletzungen gehören zu den schwerwiegendsten Traumen und hinterlassen oft langfristige körperliche und psychische Spuren. Die aktuelle S2k-Leitlinie „Behandlung thermischer Verletzungen im Kindesalter (Verbrennung, Verbrühung)“ bietet eine strukturierte Übersicht über das empfohlene Vorgehen.

Frühe Hyperoxie nach Reanimation schlecht für die Prognose?

Kommt es sehr früh nach einer kardiopulmonalen Reanimation zu einem Zustand der Hyperoxie, ist dies bei Patienten nach einem Herzstillstand mit schlechteren funktionellen Ergebnissen assoziiert. Das zeigt eine Sekundäranalyse der TTM-2-Studie.

Infektanfälligkeit in früher Kindheit: eine bleibende Last?

Wenn Kinder in den ersten Lebensjahren immer wieder Infekte durchmachen, lässt dies Schlüsse auf die Infektneigung in der weiteren Kindheit zu.
