Structured Approach

Abstract:A system using structured reporting of findings was developed for the preparation of medical reports and for clinical documentation purposes in upper abdominal sonography, and evaluated in the course of routine use. The evaluation focussed on the following parameters: completeness and correctness of the entered data, the proportion of free text, the validity and objectivity of the documentation, user acceptance, and time required. The completeness in the case of two clinically relevant parameters could be compared with an already existing database containing freely dictated reports. The results confirmed the hypothesis that, for the description of results of a technical examination, structured data reporting is a viable alternative to free-text dictation. For the application evaluated, there is even evidence of the superiority of a structured approach. The system can be put to use in related areas of application.

Abstract Introduction The treatment of newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with a significant complication rate. Information on major thrombotic complications and their incidence in newborns with CDH is lacking. The aims of our analysis were to evaluate the frequency of vena cava thrombosis and to determine its predictors within a consecutive series of patients with CDH. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed charts of all neonates of our department that underwent CDH repair from 2007 to 2021, focusing on vena cava thrombosis. Vena cava thrombosis was diagnosed sonographically and classified as complete or partial venous occlusion. Complete occlusion was confirmed by cavography. Variables evaluated were CDH side, liver position, central vein line, surgical approach, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Univariate and multivariate tests were utilized. Results Among 57 neonates who underwent CDH repair, vena cava thrombosis was diagnosed in 14 (24.6%), seven of whom had complete occlusion of the vena cava. Factors associated with vena cava thrombosis were femoral or saphenous venous catheter (p = 0.044), right sided CDH (p = 0.027) and chylothorax (p < 0.0001). ECMO was not associated with vena cava thrombosis. Seven patients (50%) with vena cava thrombosis were treated interventionally with angioplasty and seven (50%) conservatively with anticoagulation only. Mortality was not higher in patients with compared with patients without vena cava thrombosis. Conclusion The incidence of vena cava thrombosis in newborns with CDH in our series is high. Routine postoperative abdominal sonography focusing on vena cava thrombosis is mandatory in all patients with CDH. Patients who developed vena cava thrombosis were more likely to develop chylothorax after CDH repair. Considering the good outcome of medical therapy of partial vena cava thrombosis, it may be discussed whether low dose anticoagulation may be provided to all newborns with CDH.
