The Relationship of Delayed Appendectomy to the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in Acute Appendicitis Patients: a Narrative Review
No full textAcute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of surgery worldwide. Appendectomy is a
skeptical surgical intervention associated with the risk of Surgical Site Infection (SSI). The purpose
of this analysis was to describe the relationship between delayed appendectomy in acute appendicitis
and the incidence of SSI. Reviewers selected articles containing data on the incidence of SSI due to
appendectomy delays for 3 to 48 hours from seven databases, namely Pubmed, Nature, SpringerLink,
Science Direct, ProQuest, Oxford Open Access Journal, and Cochrane Library. The data source was
secondary data from international articles published in 2011 to 2020 based on the PICO criteria. The
data obtained were then grouped and synthesized without meta-analysis/Synthesis Without Metaanalysis (SWiM) descriptively. A total of 2,778 articles were collected, of which 24 studies met the
inclusion criteria. A total of 4 articles showed an association between appendectomy delay and SSI while
the other 20 articles did not show a relationship between the two. There was no relationship between
appendectomy delays for less than 48 hours since hospital admission to surgery with the incidence of
SSI, however a delayed for more than 48 hours showed a significant value. The results showed there
was no relationship between delayed appendectomy for less than 48 hours since the time the patient
was admitted to the hospital until the surgery took place, but a delayed appendectomy delay for more
than 48 hours showed a significant relationship with the incidence of SSI. This narrative review supports
early surgical intervention of acute appendicitis cases by considering the severity of the patient to avoid
other surgical complications

Abstrak
Apendisitis akut menjadi salah satu penyebab pembedahan yang paling sering ditemukan di seluruh dunia. Apendektomi merupakan intervensi bedah skeptis yang berhubungan dengan risiko terjadinya Surgical Site Infection (SSI). Tujuan analisis ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran hubungan antara penundaan apendektomi pada apendisitis akut dengan kejadian SSI. Reviewer memilih artikel yang memuat data kejadian SSI akibat penundaan apendektomi selama 3 sampai 48 jam dari tujuh basis data yaitu Pubmed, Nature, SpringerLink, Science Direct, ProQuest, Oxford Open Access Journal, dan Cochrane Library. Sumber data berupa data sekunder dari artikel internasional yang diterbitkan pada tahun 2011 hingga 2020 berdasarkan kriteria PICO. Data yang didapatkan kemudian dikelompokkan dan disintesis tanpa meta-analisis/Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) secara deskriptif. Total artikel yang dikumpulkan adalah 2.778 artikel, sebanyak 24 studi memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Sebanyak 4 artikel menunjukkan hubungan antara keterlambatan apendektomi dengan SSI sedangkan 20 artikel lainnya tidak menunjukkan hubungan keduanya.Tidak ada hubungan penundaan apendektomi kurang dari 48 jam sejak masuk rumah sakit hingga operasi dengan insidensi SSI namun penundaan lebih dari 48 jam menunjukkan nilai yang signifikan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, disimpulkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan penundaan apendektomi selama kurang dari 48 jam sejak pasien masuk rumah sakit hingga proses pembedahan berlangsung tetapi penundaan apendektomi lebih dari 48 jam menunjukkan adanya hubungan signifikan terhadap kejadian SSI. Tinjauan naratif ini mendukung intervensi bedah yang cepat pada kasus apendisitis akut dengan mempertimbangkan tingkat keparahan pasien dan untuk menghindari komplikasi pembedahan lain
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
