ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the automated insulin delivery (AID) in adolescents, and children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) during physical activity. METHODS: Relevant studies were searched electronically in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase utilizing the key words "Child", "Insulin Infusion Systems", and "Diabetes Mellitus" from inception to 17th March 2024 to evaluate the performance of the AID in adolescents, and children with T1D during physical activity. RESULTS: Twelve studies involving 514 patients were identified. AID did not show a beneficial effect on duration of hypoglycemia<70â¯mg/dL during study period (p>0.05; I2=96â¯%) and during the physical activity (p>0.99). Percentage of sensor glucose values in TIR was higher in AID than the non-AID pumps during study period (p<0.001; I2=94â¯%). The duration of hyperglycemic time was significantly decreased in AID group compared to the non-AID pumps group during study period (p<0.05; I2>50â¯%). CONCLUSIONS: AID improved TIR and decreased the duration of hyperglycemic time, but did not appear to have a significant beneficial effect on the already low post-exercise duration of hypoglycemia achievable by open loop or sensor-augmented pumps in adolescents and children with T1D during physical activity; further research is needed to confirm the beneficial effect of AID on duration of hypoglycemia.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The potential predictors of pelvic floor reconstruction surgery hypothermia remain unclear. This prospective cohort study was aimed at identifying these predictors and evaluating the outcomes associated with perioperative hypothermia. METHODS: Elderly patients undergoing pelvic floor reconstruction surgery were consecutively enrolled from April 2023 to September 2023. Perioperative temperature was measured at preoperative (T1), every 15 min after the start of anesthesia (T2), and 15 min postoperative (T3) using a temperature probe. Perioperative hypothermia was defined as a core temperature below 36°C at any point during the procedure. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine factors associated with perioperative hypothermia. RESULTS: A total of 229 patients were included in the study, with 50.7% experiencing hypothermia. Multivariate analysis revealed that the surgical method involving pelvic floor combined with laparoscopy, preoperative temperature < 36.5°C, anesthesia duration ≥ 120 min, and the high levels of anxiety were significantly associated with perioperative hypothermia. The predictive value of the multivariate model was 0.767 (95% CI, 0.706 to 0.828). CONCLUSIONS: This observational prospective study identified several predictive factors for perioperative hypothermia in elderly patients during pelvic floor reconstruction surgery. Strategies aimed at preventing perioperative hypothermia should target these factors. Further studies are required to assess the effectiveness of these strategies, specifically in elderly patients undergoing pelvic floor reconstruction surgery.

Currently, there is no specific perioperative nursing standard for RARC based on the ERAS concept. This retrospective study investigates to analyze the effect of RARC-ERAS nursing program on VTE and other clinical outcomes in patients undergoing RARC surgery. This retrospective study included 216 patients undergoing RARC surgery From January 1, 2022 to December 30, 2023, and propensity score adjustment analysis was applied. The study compares a control group receiving traditional nursing and an observation group receiving RARC-ERAS nursing program. Perioperative variables and other postoperative complications were retrieved from the hospital medical records. After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in the demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups (p > 0.05). The ERAS group exhibited aa significantly higher rate of postoperative unobstructed venous blood flow in the lower extremities by color Doppler ultrasound as compared to the control group (94.6% VS 80.4%, p = 0.042). Before anesthesia induction, lower preoperative anxiety and surgical information needs scores were observed in the ERAS group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the ERAS group demonstrated a shorter surgical duration, a lower incidence of perioperative hypothermia, less time needed for getting out of bed, anal exhaust, and for defecation after returning to the ward (p < 0.05). RARC-ERAS nursing program significantly increased the rate of postoperative unobstructed venous blood flow in the lower extremities by color doppler ultrasound, lower preoperative anxiety and intraoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing RARC. This nursing approach presents a valuable strategy for enhancing patient outcomes and merits further exploration in clinical practice.Trial registration:ChiCTR2400081118; http://www.chictr.org.cn , Principal investigator: Mang-mang He, Date of registration: Feb 22, 2024.
