Introduction: To date, no epidemiological studies on jaw fracture have examined its characteristics according to hospital status (public vs private). The aim of this study was to examine their differences in terms of patient- and injury-related variables. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using patients' medical records in 2 types of hospital located in the northern area of Brittany (France). All patients hospitalized for jaw fracture between 2006 and 2017 were eligible. Comparisons between centres according to age, gender, anatomic location of fracture, mechanism of injury, and length of stay were undertaken using χ2, Fisher exact test, t-test, and Cochrane-Armitage trend test. Results: A total of 142 patients were included: 45.1% in the public and 54.9% in the private hospitals. Of them, 84.5% were men and the mean age was 32.0. Main causes of fractures were assault (56.3%), fall (30.3%) and road traffic accident (10%). A small number of patients had polytrauma (4.2%). The mean duration of stay was less than 2 days. Compared to patients who were admitted in private hospital, those who were likely to be admitted in public hospital were those: who had a jaw fracture in context of road traffic accident (18.8% vs 2.6%), with polytrauma (9.4% vs 0.0%) and maxilla fracture (9.4% vs 1.3%), and who had a longer stay (2.2 vs 1.1 days). Conclusion: This study showed that differences observed in characteristics of jaw fractures between public and private hospitals may be due to recruitment process: more severely affected patients are likely to be admitted in the public hospital.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare electronic and manual prescriptions of a public hospital of Brasilia, identifying risk factors for the occurrence of medication errors. Method: descriptive-exploratory, comparative and retrospective study. Data collection occurred from July 2012 to January 2013, using an instrument for the review of the information contained in medical records related to the medication process. A total of 190 manual and 199 electronic records composed the sample, with 2027 prescriptions each. Results: compared to the manual prescription, a significant reduction was observed in the risk factors after implantation of the electronic prescription, in items such as "lack of the form of dilution" (71.1% to 22.3%) and "prescription with brand name" (99.5% to 31.5%). Conversely, the risk factors "no check" and "lack of CRM of the prescriber" increased. The lack of the allergy registration and the occurrences related to medication were the same for both groups. Conclusion: generally, the use of the electronic prescription system was associated with a significant reduction in risk factors for medication errors, concerning the following aspects: illegibility, prescription with brand name and presence of essential items that provide a safe and effective prescription.

Objectives: To study the epidemiological distribution of the disease lichen planus and its therapeutic management. Methods: A total of 174 patients with a lichen planus diagnosis between 2008 and 2017 at a Portuguese public hospital were included in this retrospective study. The following data were collected from clinical records: gender, age, topographic distribution of lesions, prescribed therapy (active substance, route, and scheme of administration), mean duration of illness, and episodes of cure and relapse. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM® SPSS® Statistics software, version 25. Results: In this population, lichen planus affected both genders with the same probability (p=0.820), and was more prevalent in the 4th-5th decades of age. The lesions appeared in the skin (75.9% of the patients), mucous membranes (5.2%), or both (19.0%). The most prescribed drugs were corticosteroids, followed by antihistamines and immunosuppressants. Topical corticosteroids were the most common ones, namely clobetasol propionate (37.4%). Within the systemic corticosteroids, prednisolone was the most prescribed drug (12.3%). The average duration of lesions and symptoms was approximately 6.5 months. For the relapsing population (12%), the mean period of symptoms’ remission was 513 days. Conclusions: The epidemiological parameters of lichen planus in these Portuguese patients bear similarities with other described populations. No evidence-based therapeutic has proven to be effective for lichen planus treatment, but topical corticosteroids continue to be the firstline therapy for this pathology.

Aim: This study aimed to describe the prescribing pattern of medications in the cardiology outpatient department of a public hospital. Methodology: This is a retrospective study included collecting data from outpatient pharmacy prescriptions from a public hospital in Alkharj. The data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel and after that the descriptive data was represented as percentages and frequencies. Results: The most prescribed medication was aspirin (11.6%) followed by bisoprolol (8.06), atorvastatin (7.5%) and furosemide (6.79%). Most of the prescriptions were written by residents (85.15%). Most of the medications were prescribed as tablets (88.26%) and capsules (9.05%). Conclusion: It is important to evaluate the prescribing pattern of medications in the cardiology department to ensure that these medications are prescribed appropriately and to increase the awareness of the health-care professionals about these medications.
