Sezik","doi":"10.5339/qmj.2024.20","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5339/qmj.2024.20","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Preterm identification of cervical dilation in pregnant women leads to the application of emergency cervical cerclage with an expectation of achieving term delivery. However, this is not always feasible. Short- and long-term neonatal complications post-preterm birth pose a significant challenge. It is crucial to anticipate potential complications and understand the possibilities of postpartum development as they can be encountered. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the degree of cervical dilatation before ultrasound and physical examination-indicated cerclage in singleton pregnancies presenting with premature cervical dilatation with bulging fetal membranes (rescue cerclage) on subsequent neonatal outcomes. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective clinical study, over a 10-year period between January 2009 and January 2019, 72 singleton pregnancies undergoing rescue cerclage were included and divided into two groups according to pre-cerclage cervical dilatation: Group 1 (n = 33) and Group 2 (n = 39) with cervical dilatation ≤3 cm and >3 cm, respectively. Latency period for pregnancy prolongation, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, and neonatal morbidity and mortality were compared across the groups. Logistic regression was used to delineate the independent effect of cervical dilatation at cerclage placement on neonatal mortality. Results: Group 2 had a higher delivery rate at ≤28 weeks’ gestation (p = 0.007) and lower birth weight (p = 0.002) compared to Group 1, with an increased mean latency period in Group 2 (90 ± 55 days versus 52 ± 54 days, p = 0.005). The newborn intensive care unit (NICU) requirement, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), neonatal jaundice and sepsis, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were more frequent in Group 2. Neonatal mortality rate was higher (52.6% versus 24.2%, p = 0.015) and intact survival was lower (23.1% versus 48.4%, p = 0.013) in Group 2, whereas rates of cerebral palsy (8% and 9%, respectively) were similar between the groups (p = 0.64). Conclusion: Advanced cervical dilatation (>3 cm) during physical examination-indicated cerclage in singleton pregnancies is associated with earlier delivery, leading to increased neonatal morbidity and mortality when compared with pregnancies having lesser degrees of cervical dilatation at cerclage. However, short-term poor neurological outcomes seem comparable.","PeriodicalId":53667,"journal":{"name":"Qatar Medical Journal","volume":"23 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140744018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Perceived opportunities of clinical reasoning learning in postgraduate psychiatry training: Trainees’ and faculty’s perspectives","authors":"D. Albahari","doi":"10.5339/qmj.2024.14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5339/qmj.2024.14","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Learning clinical reasoning is less effective in isolation of clinical environments because contextual factors are a significant component in the clinical reasoning process. This study investigated the differences in opinions between novice and expert clinicians on learning clinical reasoning in the workplace. Materials and Methods: The author used a cross-sectional online survey design to investigate the perceived learning of six clinical reasoning skills in 13 learning opportunities. Questionnaires were emailed to 41 postgraduate psychiatry trainee doctors and 37 faculty members. Data were analyzed descriptively. The Chi-square test was used to compare the responses of the two groups. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The combined response rate was 73.07%. The two groups perceived the learning of advanced clinical reasoning skills to be lower than that of basic skills. There were significant differences in the perceived learning of basic clinical reasoning skills in self-study/exam preparations (P = 0.032), general hospital grand rounds (P = 0.049), and clinical rounds (P = 0.024 for consultant-led rounds and P = 0.038 for senior peer-led rounds). There were also significant differences in the perceived learning of advanced clinical reasoning skills among peer-led tutorials (P = 0.04), journal clubs (P = 0.006), morning reports (P = 0.002), and on-call duties (P = 0.031). Conclusions: The trainees showed a significant preference for structured learning environments rather than clinical environments, especially for advanced clinical reasoning skills. Trainees likely struggled with cognitive overload in clinical environments. Local postgraduate psychiatry programs will likely benefit from implementing multiple educational interventions that facilitate teaching and learning clinical reasoning in complex clinical environments.","PeriodicalId":53667,"journal":{"name":"Qatar Medical Journal","volume":"239 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140746538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
