A Prospective Study

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a problem frequently faced by clinicians all over the world. One hundred and twenty-one cases of FUO presenting to a large teaching hospital in northern India were prospectively studied over a period of 2 years. Infections were the commonest cause accounting for 43.8% cases of FUO, with tuberculosis (TB) being the commonest infection encountered. Collagen vascular diseases and tumours accounted for 15.7 and 8.3% cases, respectively. No cause could be found out in a substantial number of cases (19%) even after invasive investigations. Knowledge of the current patterns of FUO is important since many patients present with potentially treatable diseases.

Abstract Background There are limited number of studies with controversial findings regarding the association between anemia at admission and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes. Therefore, in this research, we aimed to investigate the prospective association between anemia and COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized patients in Iran. Methods In this prospective study, the data of 1274 consecutive patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 were statistically analyzed. All biomarkers, including hemoglobin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were measured using standard methods. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin (Hb) concentration of less than 13 g/dL and 12 g/dL in males and females, respectively. Assessing the association between anemia and COVID-19 survival in hospitalized patients was our primary endpoint. Results The mean age of the participants was 64.43 ± 17.16 years, out of whom 615 (48.27%) were anemic subjects. Patients with anemia were significantly older (P = 0.02) and had a higher frequency of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, kidney disease, diabetes, and cancer (P < 0.05). The frequency of death (anemic: 23.9% vs. nonanemic: 13.8%), ICU admission (anemic: 27.8% vs. nonanemic:14.71%), and ventilator requirement (anemic: 35.93% vs. nonanemic: 20.63%) were significantly higher in anemic patients than in nonanemic patients (P < 0.001). According to the results of regression analysis, after adjusting for significant covariate in the univariable model, anemia was independently associated with mortality (OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.10, 2.57, P = 0.01), ventilator requirement (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.54, P = 0.004), and the risk of ICU admission (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.90, P < 0.001). Conclusion The prevalence of anemia in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was high and was associated with poor outcomes of COVID-19.

Abstract Introduction Surgeons must establish and maintain effective relationships with patients and, where appropriate, with their supporters. Before surgery, surgeons should strive to have an honest and sensitive discussion with patients about their options for treatment that leads to informed and deliberate consent. The aim of this study is to compare our consent practice in the vascular department in Royal Stoke Teaching Hospital against consent guideline in the Best surgical practice and to if we are meeting patient satisfaction. Method A prospective study of 30 patients from 21/09/2020 to 21/10/2020. Questionnaire form was designed based on the best surgical practice guideline and was given to the patient to fill. We include patients admitted for elective vascular procedures, wide range ages. The questionnaire Results Most of the of the patient (90%) were consented by the professionals who provide the treatment. 63% of the patients asked for further information in the form pf leaflets or websites. 70% of them request to know the recent guidelines of their procedures. Only 13% of them had a copy of the consent prior to surgery. Recommendations We must provide the patients with further information, Recent guidelines, and a copy of the consent to take home prior to surgery day. This can be achieved by consenting them before the operation day.
