We conducted a prospective, cohort study at two affiliated level III neonatal intensive care units to evaluate the effect of a closed drug-delivery system on the incidence of nosocomial and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in infants. A total of 300 infants (n=150 at each site) were enrolled over a 4-year study period. There was no difference in the rate of CRBSI per 1000 catheter days between the two sites (16·2±39 vs. 8·9±24, P=0·054, 95% CI−14·8 to 0·13). Infants at site A (closed drug-delivery system) had a higher rate of infectious nosocomial respiratory complications per 100 hospital days than infants at site B (open delivery system) (1·1±2·2 vs. 0·5±1·5, P=0·009), however, there was no difference in the overall number of confirmed or suspected nosocomial infection events per patient between study sites. Logistic regression revealed that the number of additional peripheral catheters, gestational age and duration of parenteral nutrition all significantly contributed to the risk of developing one or more CRSBI. The closed drug-delivery system failed to reduce the incidence of CRBSI or overall rate of nosocomial infections in premature infants.

AbstractHelicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and H. punctigera (Wallengren) are major pests of cotton in Australia. The density of eggs and larvae of these species are sampled regularly throughout the growing season to assess the need for insecticidal control. A sampling system now widely used is based on binomial sampling combined with a series of conversion relationships developed as part of the SIRATAC computer based pest management system established in the early 1980s. A three year study was initiated to reassess the binomial sampling conversion relationship in the light of changed agronomic practices and new cotton varieties. New relationships were established to predict the mean number of Helicoverpa spp. present, based upon the number of infested plants found within a sample. Relationships are reported for the sampling of whole plants and the sampling of the terminal (top 20 cm) portion of cotton plants only. These new relationships will be incorporated into entomoLOGIC, a personal computer based pest management system now released to replace SIRATAC.

AbstractIntroduction:The need for quality assurance (QA) systems for review of prehospital advanced life support (ALS) care has long been recognized. However, there only have been limited published studies on the operation and cost of QA systems for prehospital care. A number of different systems currently are in use, and the relative effectiveness of different QA systems has not been well determined.Objective:The aim of this study was to compare the personnel work-time and costs of two different systems of QA for prehospital ALS services, and thereby determine which type of system was more cost-effective in the generation of QA reports.Methods:The quality assurance program (System 1) for three independent ALS services in a rural/suburban area and the QA program (System 2) for a nearby urban ALS service were compared. Data recorded included the training level and number of hours per year devoted exclusively to QA activities by different personnel. The annual costs for other aspects of the QA systems and apportioned salary costs for time spent on QA work were recorded.Results:System 1, a computer-based system, utilized 1,116 hours per year of personnel time and required [US]$17,662 in total costs per year (average cost per run reviewed of $4.38). System 2 (a manual system) utilized 569 hours per year of personnel time and had an annual cost of [US]$8,361 (or $2.15 per run reviewed). System 1 generated 852 reports per year (21 % of runs) about non-compliance with protocols or charting deficiencies. System 2 generated 284 reports per year (7.3% of runs) for similar events.Conclusions:Either a computer-based or “manual” system for QA of prehospital ALS services can be utilized. A computer-based system requires more personnel time and is more expensive, but generates more reports per year than does the manual system. A computer-based system more readily can retrieve run report data for further review.
