Multicenter Study Observational StudyCan capillary lactate improve early warning scores in emergency department? an observational, prospective, multicentre study.
To determine the prognostic usefulness of the National Early Warning Score-2 (NEWS2) and quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores, in isolation and combined with capillary lactate (CL), using the new NEWS2-L and qSOFA-L scores to predict the 30-day mortality risk. ⋯ NEWS2 and qSOFA scores are a very useful tool for assessing the status of patients who come to the ED in general for all types of patients in triage categories II and III and for detecting the 30-day mortality risk. CL determined systematically in the ED does not seem to provide information on the prognosis of the patients.

How to implement routine electronic patient-reported outcome monitoring in oncology rehabilitation.
Implemenation of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) like quality of life can add the patient's perspective to traditional clinical outcomes of cancer rehabilitation in a structured and standardized way. ⋯ Tailored changes in assessment procedures enabled the successful implementation of ePRO, which has been shown to be feasible before and after cancer rehabilitation. The continuous involvement of stakeholders paved the way for further projects initiated by medical staff as users themselves (inclusion of PRO data in the discharge letter and a comprehensive ePRO follow-up using a versatile online patient portal).
