Effect of the American Heart Association 2007 Guidelines on the Practice of Dental Prophylaxis for the Prevention of Infective Endocarditis in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
To determine the adherence of dental providers to the 2007 American Heart Association (AHA) infective endocarditis prevention guidelines regarding antibiotic drug administration before invasive dental procedures. ⋯ In this historical cohort in Olmsted County there was a statistically significant reduction in AP in the MR group before invasive dental procedures. In addition, there was an unanticipated significant reduction in AP in the HR group after publication of the 2007 AHA guidelines. These findings can be used to provide feedback and education to medical and dental professionals who are involved in decision making regarding the use of dental prophylaxis for their patients.

Observational Study
[Variability and suitability of anti-asmathic treatment in pediatric primary health care].
To analyse the use patterns and the characteristics of anti-asmathic prescriptions in pediatric primary health care. ⋯ The use of anti-asthmatic drugs in our region is high, maybe it's related to the asthma prevalence. We observed variability between sanitary districts and health centres. The prescription patterns are closed to the current recommendation, except in the case of oral bronchodilators.

Appropriate critical care admissions are an important component of surgical care. However, there are few data describing postoperative critical care admission in resource-limited low- and middle-income countries. ⋯ The outcome of patients admitted to public sector critical care units in SA is strongly associated with unplanned admissions. Adequate 'high care-dependency units' for postoperative care of elective surgical patients could potentially decrease the burden on critical care resources in SA by 23%. This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02141867).
