Evaluation of patient-reported outcome and satisfaction following percutaneous coronary intervention: A systematic review
No full textBackground: A growing number of elderly patients with satisfactory periprocedural outcomes and long-term survival are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Objective: To systematically review patient satisfaction after PCI.
Methods: An extensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct was performed to locate relevant material. Rayyan QRCI was used to select the eligible articles. Results: Our data includes seven articles with 4278 children, 3378 (78.9%) of whom were males. The reported follow-up duration ranged from 3 days to 36 months. Seven studies reported a high satisfaction level following PCI. It is reported that same-day discharge corresponds with more problems. Only one study included patients who reported moderate satisfaction levels according to the SAQ-Korean version.
Conclusion: This review found that there is a high patient-reported satisfaction among patients who underwent PCI. Larger prospective trials are needed to determine the long-term satisfaction and QOL following PCI
Chlorhexidine versus Povidone-Iodine for the prevention of Surgical Site Infections: A review.
Get PDFBackgroundSurgical Site Infections (SSIs) are the third most frequently reported health care-associated infection and it remain a major clinical problem despite improvements in prevention, as they are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Prevention strategies for SSIs are based on reducing the risk of infection by bacteria, So many antiseptic agents are used, the most common one are Chlorhexidine and Povidone-Iodine.AimsTo discuss the findings of RCTs that compare Chlorhexidine versus Povidone-Iodine in the prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs).Methods This systematic review was carried out, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and EBSCO that examining randomized trials of Chlorhexidine and Povidone-Iodine to summarize the major RCT that compare Chlorhexidine versus Povidone-Iodine in the prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs).Results The review included six randomized studies that compare between Chlorhexidine and Povidone-Iodine for the prevention of SSIs. The findings showed that many studies prefer using Chlorhexidine over Povidine-Iodine to reduce SSIs, few studies prefer using PVI as antiseptic and other studies reported that there is no significant difference between both. ConclusionMajority of results prefer using Chlorhexidine than Povidone-Iodine as antiseptics but there were few findings prefer PVI and other studies reported that there was no significant difference between using them as antiseptics.
