INTRODUCTION: Global warming, climate change, temperature fluctuations, and increasing concern about their possible impacts on health have drawn the attention of scholars and academia around the world. Previous studies suggested heat waves can increase mortality and diseases, the demand for ambulances, hospitalization rates, and severe consequences, especially in vulnerable groups. The most effective measures can be taken by effective planning and providing practical solutions in the mitigation and preparedness stage to prevent and mitigate the effects of disasters. Given the absence of a tool to determine the level of adaptation in the world, this study aimed to identify the strategies to adapt to heat waves and develop a tool to measure the level of adaptation to heat waves. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This exploratory sequential mixed methods (qualitative-quantitative) study was conducted in three phases. In the first phase, a qualitative study was carried out by conducting interviews with people affected by heat waves. The interview data were used to identify the themes related to adaptation to heat waves and the strategies to adapt to heat waves. In the second phase, a systematic review study was conducted to identify the strategies to adapt to heat waves in the world. Afterward, the data from the qualitative phase and systematic review were used to develop the items in the heatwave adaptation tool. Finally, in the third phase (the quantitative study), the psychometric properties of the developed tool were assessed using face validity, content validity, construct validity, and reliability indexes. CONCLUSIONS: The developed tool can measure the level of adaptation behaviors of people against heat waves in different communities. Thus, an awareness of less adaptable and more vulnerable communities can contribute to conducting some mitigation and preparedness interventions in these communities.

InTrodUcTIon: The purpose of this review and meta-analysis is to compare tranexamic acid (TXA) administration via the intravenous route (IV-TXA) and topical route (T-TXA), in reducing blood loss in knee arthroplasty. MATerIAL And MeTHods: A systematic literature search was performed using Medline, EMBASE, Scopus and CENTRAL databases till December 20, 2021. Outcomes of interest included blood loss, hematocrit and hemoglobin drop, and adverse events. resULTs: A total of 3,363 patients (n = 1,307 in IV-TXA group; n = 2,056 in T-TXA group) from 23 studies were included. There was no statistically significantly difference between IV-TXA and T-TXA among to: total blood loss (874.8 ± 349.7 mL vs 844.9 ± 366.6 mL, respectively; SMD = 0.13; 95% CI: −9.37 to 85.32; p = 0.15), as well as transfusion needed (10.9% vs 15.4% respectively (RR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.60 to 1.04; p = 0.09). Blood loss from the drain in IV-TXA and T-TXA varied and occurred 377.9 ± 191.9 vs 302.9 ± 182.6 mL for IV-TXA and T-TXA, respectively: (SMD = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.02 to 1.02; p = 0.04). concLUsIons: Our clinical findings support that TXA can effectively, safely, and decrease the number of transfusions without severe side effects in patients undergoing TKA. However, given the reports from individual single clinical trials of the superiority of T-TXA, further clinical trials and meta-analyses based on these findings are needed to standardize the approach to TXA use in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.
简介:本综述和荟萃分析的目的是比较氨甲环酸(TXA)通过静脉途径(IV-TXA)和外用途径(T-TXA)在减少膝关节置换术中失血量方面的效果。材料和方法:使用Medline、EMBASE、Scopus和CENTRAL数据库进行系统文献检索,检索截止日期为2021年12月20日。研究结果包括失血、红细胞压积和血红蛋白下降以及不良事件。结果:IV-TXA组共3363例患者(n = 1307);n = 2056 (T-TXA组),共纳入23项研究。IV-TXA与T-TXA在总失血量(874.8±349.7 mL vs 844.9±366.6 mL)之间无统计学差异;SMD = 0.13;95% CI:−9.37 ~ 85.32;p = 0.15),以及输血需求(10.9% vs 15.4%) (RR = 0.79;95% CI: 0.60 ~ 1.04;P = 0.09)。IV-TXA和T-TXA的引流失血量各不相同,分别为377.9±191.9 mL和302.9±182.6 mL (SMD = 0.52;95% CI: 0.02 ~ 1.02;P = 0.04)。结论:我们的临床研究结果支持TXA可以有效、安全地减少TKA患者的输血次数,并且没有严重的副作用。然而,鉴于单个临床试验对T-TXA优越性的报道,需要基于这些发现的进一步临床试验和荟萃分析来规范膝关节置换术患者使用TXA的方法。
