Course Preparation Program design The contents of the program have been specially designed to train health professionals in charge of organizing the generation of donors and/or those due to join a Transplant Coordination Office and KDPs wishing to update their knowledge and reinforce their competences. The program is based on the blended learning system, which considers both the on-line and the traditional face-to-face training. The contents of the 5 on-line modules consist mainly in theoretical knowledge, including some practical exercises, whereas the face-to-face course is mainly practical, with simulations that emulate the whole donation process. Design of on-line modules Five e-learning modules were carried out. Two of the modules, Donor Management and Organ Viability (DMOV) and Organ Retrieval Organization, Preservation and Allocation Criteria (ORPA) have been fully developed together with Working Group 3 (WG3) and the contents of the rest, Donor Detection System (DDS), Brain Death Diagnosis (BDD) and Family Approach for Organ Donation (FAOD), have been updated together with WG3. In all the modules, the Coordinator was in charge of the faculty and the daily development of the courses. WG3 asked the partners during the second working meeting in Rome to participate in the pilot versions of both courses in order to assure the contents, structure and time availability to answer all the proposed activities. On-line modules Educational Method The learning method used in these on-line courses is highly interactive. The use of the Internet as the basic transmission channel of knowledge allows more students to take part. Barriers in time and geographical location are overcome, facilitating individualized and interactive contact between all members of the virtual community. Each course develops a core structure with factual information based on written materials and audiovisual support, which promotes learning by emphasising the key concepts. Contents are structured in modules for a better association and assimilation of concepts. General and specific debates through the course forum help participants to share their points of view and put their own knowledge to the test. PTOD http://etpod.il3.ub.edu 4 DG SANCO –EAHC 2005205 PTOD course Report General Objectives: To respond to the increasing demand for continuing education related to the procurement and transplantation of organs and tissues by overcoming time and distance constraints. To offer high quality courses, both in content and methodology, adapted to current needs for an active and effective system capable of detecting all potential donors within target units. Virtual Platform All the virtual modules were implemented in English through the Universitat de Barcelona Virtual Community. A username and password were formerly provided to each participant to allow them to log in the virtual course. Therefore, only the registered participants could enter the course. Tutors and lecturers also had their own log in data in order to access the modules. (See Annex 3) Specific Objectives Donor Detection System (DDS) To be trained on potential donor evaluation and to be able to: excluding biological risk factors; performing laboratory screening tests and medical history evaluations, and clarifying the aetiology of death. To present different systems to improve the quality of donor detection, causes of donor loss and analysis of all donor detection procedures. To establish an understanding of the expansion of the donor criteria such as age, previous diseases and ischemia times

Deciphering Unwritten Rules. Patients, relatives and nurses in pallia- tive cancer care. Linnaeus University Dissertations No 14/2010. ISBN: 978-91-86491-19-2. Written in English. This thesis focuses on palliative cancer care in acute care hospitals and home care settings. The overall aim was to generate a grounded theory explaining the latent patterns of behavior of patients, relatives and nurses. The thesis includes one population-based study with cross-sectional design and four classic grounded the- ory studies. Study I was conducted in two acute care hospitals. In this 5-year follow-up study, the proportion of hospitalized palliative cancer patients had decreased. The patients were older with more symptoms and care needs per patient. In both years, the most common symptoms were pain and deterioration and the most common cancer sites were prostate and colorectal. The results showed that associations be- tween symptoms, care needs and cancer site were mostly weak. In study II, striving for emotional survival emerged as the pattern of behavior through which nurses in acute care hospitals deal with their main concern, the risk of being emotionally overloaded.

  • Evaluating Risk Factors for Re-Exploration Due to Postoperative Neck Hematoma After Thyroid Surgery: a Nested Case-Control Study
    Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery (2019) 404:815–823 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00423-019-01836-4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Evaluating risk factors for re-exploration due to postoperative neck hematoma after thyroid surgery: a nested case-control study Farhad Allahyar Salem1 & A. Bergenfelz1 & E. Nordenström1 & J. Dahlberg2 & O. Hessman3 & C. I. Lundgren4 & M. Almquist1 Received: 24 June 2019 /Accepted: 4 November 2019/Published online: 18 November 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Purpose Postoperative bleeding after thyroid surgery remains a potentially lethal complication. Outpatient thyroidectomy is an increasing trend in the high volume centers. There is a need to identify risk factors for postoperative bleeding in order to select proper patients for outpatient thyroidectomy. This study aimed to investigate this issue using a national population-based register. Material and method A nested case-control study on patients registered in the Swedish national register for endocrine surgery (SQRTPA) was performed. Patients with postoperative bleeding were matched 1:1 by age and gender to controls. Additional information on cases and controls was obtained from attending surgeons using a questionnaire. Risk factors for postoperative bleeding were evaluated with logistic regression and are presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The time of bleeding in relation to surgery was also investigated. Results There were 9494 operations, and 174 (1.8%) of them involved postoperative bleeding. In the whole cohort, patients with postoperative bleeding were older, 58 (46–69) vs. 49 (37–62) years, than patients without, p < 0.01. Male patients had a higher risk of bleeding, OR 2.18 (95% CI 1.58–2.99).

A. Salem • M. Almquist • E. Nordenstro¨m • J. Dahlberg • O. Hessman • 4 1 C. I. Lundgren • A. Bergenfelz Published online: 22 February 2018 Ó The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract Introduction It is unclear if antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) in thyroid surgery. This study assessed risk factors for SSI and antibiotic prophylaxis in subgroups of patients. Method and design A nested case–control study on patients registered in the Swedish National Register for Endocrine Surgery was performed. Patients with SSI were matched 1:1 by age and gender to controls. Additional information on patients with SSI and controls was queried from attending surgeons using a questionnaire. Risk factors for SSI were evaluated by logistic regression analysis and presented as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results There were 9494 operations; 109 (1.2%) patients had SSI. Patients with SSI were older (median 53 vs. 49 years) than patients without SSI p = 0.01 and more often had a cancer diagnosis 23 (21.1%) versus 1137 (12.1%) p = 0.01. In the analysis of patients with SSI versus controls, patients with SSI more often had post-operative drainage 68 (62.4%) versus 46 (42.2%) p = 0.01 and lymph node surgery 40 (36.7%) versus 14 (13.0%) p \ 0.01, and both were independent risk factors for SSI, drain OR 1.82 (CI 1.04–3.18) and lymph node dissection, OR 3.22 (95% CI 1.32–7.82).
