This article aims to provide a practical approach to a patient with presumed β-lactam allergy in the perioperative setting. Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text.

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing intensive with conventional glycaemic control in TBI requiring admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to November 2016. Outcomes of interest included ICU and in-hospital mortality, poor neurological outcome, the incidence of hypoglycaemia and infective complications. Data were analysed by pairwise random effects models with secondary analysis of differing levels of conventional glycaemic control. Ten RCTs, involving 1066 TBI patients were included. Three studies were conducted exclusively in a TBI population, whereas in seven trials, the TBI population was a sub-cohort of a mixed neurocritical or general ICU population. Glycaemic targets with intensive control ranged from 4.4 to 6.7 mmol/L, while conventional ta...

In Ethiopia, most of what is known on the prevalence of smoking comes from studies in larger towns. Little is known about predictors of smoking in any Ethiopian setting. Objectives: The analyses reported were designed to determine smoking prevalence and social factors associated with ever smoking in Butajira town. Methods: Cross-sectional study nested within a large questionnaire-based survey undertaken in Butajira, southern Ethiopia, between February and April 2003. Results: Prevalence data were available on 1895 individuals aged 15 years and over. 15.4% of men and 0.2% of women had ever smoked, and 11.8% and 0.2% respectively, were current smokers. Using logistic regression, male gender (p<0.001), increasing age (p<0.001), being a follower of Islam (p=0.002), and being in formal employment (p=0.033) were found to be independent predictors of ever smoking. Conclusions: Socio-demographic predictors of cigarette smoking in Butajira Ethiopia are different to those found in high income countries. The predictors found here suggest that increased taxation may be the most effective tobacco control measure in this low income country setting. [Ethiop.

Unfortunately, perioperative diabetes protocol compliance is low. Using digitalization of the perioperative environment, an automated reminder in the preoperative assessment platform proved to increase compliance and we advocate its use throughout the perioperative process.

Zowel bij hoge als normale glucosewaarden bleven de metingen nauwkeurig en dit leek ook het geval in het hypoglykeme gebied. Ook tijdens het snel stijgen en dalen van glucose waren de metingen van de sensor niet minder nauwkeurig. ...

Therefore, our objective was to assess the prevalence of perioperative hyperglycemia and glucose variability in women undergoing a gynecologic laparotomy. In this prospective cohort study, capillary glucose was measured every hour during the perioperative period. The primary outcome measures were the proportion of patients with postoperative hyperglycemia (glucose &amp;amp;amp;gt;180 mg d l(-1)) and the glucose variability in the intra- and postoperative period. Postoperative complications were assessed as secondary outcome measure. We included 150 women undergoing a gynecologic laparotomy. Perioperative hyperglycemia occurred in 33 patients without diabetes (23.4%) and in 8 patients with diabetes (89%). Glucose variability was significantly higher (mean absolute glucose change [MAG] 11 mg dl(-1) hr(-1) [IQR 8-18]) in the intraoperative compared to the postoperative period (MAG 10 mg dl(-1) hr(-1) [IQR 3-16], P = .03). Neither hyperglycemia nor glucose variability was associated with postoperative complications. Hyperglycemia and glucose variability seem to be a minor problem during gynecologic laparotomy. Based on the current data, we would not advocate standardized glucose measurements in every patient without diabetes undergoing gynecologic laparotomy.

However, more than 50% of surgical procedures are performed in an ambulatory setting, where glucose is not routinely measured. The objectives of this study were to investigate the change in capillary glucose during ambulatory surgery, to identify patients at risk for perioperative increasing glucose and to evaluate whether hyperglycemia predisposes for complications after ambulatory surgery. In this prospective multicenter cohort study, adult patients planned for ambulatory surgery, were included and capillary glucose was measured 1 h before and 1 h after surgery. Patients were contacted 90 days after surgery to determine the occurrence of postoperative complications. 909 patients were included, 48 (5.3%) patients had diabetes mellitus (DM). Overall median glucose increased from 5.4 mmol l--1 preoperatively to 5.6 mmol l--1 postoperatively (p<0.001). Hyperglycemia, glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol l...
