30. Validation of a Patient-Completed Caprini Risk Assessment Tool for Spanish, Arabic, and Polish Speakers.

Abstract

Targeted prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) using the Caprini risk score (CRS) is effective reducing postoperative VTE. Despite its availability as preventive strategy, risk scoring remains underutilized. Critics to the CRS contend the time it takes to complete, and its limitation to English language. Aim is to create and validate patient-completed CRS tools for Spanish, Arabic, and Polish speakers. We translated the first patient-completed CRS to Spanish, Arabic, and Polish. We conducted a pilot study followed by the validation study. Using PASS version 11, we determined that a sample size of 37 achieved a power of 80%, to detect a difference of 0.1 between the null hypothesis correlation of 0.5 and the alternative hypothesis correlation of 0.7 using a 2-sided hypothesis test, significance level of .05. We tabulated and categorized scores using SPSS version 23 to estimate κ, linear correlation, and Bland Altman test. κ value >0.8 was defined as “almost perfect agreement.” From 129 recruited patients, 50 (39%) spoke Spanish, 40 (31%) spoke Arabic, and 39 (30%) spoke Polish; average age 51 (16.69) years, 58 (45%) were men, with less than college education (67%). Mean (standard deviation) CRS was 5 (3.90), the majority (63%) above moderate VTE risk. We report excellent agreement comparing physician and patient results (κ = 0.93) and high correlation 0.97 (P < .01) for the overall score. Bland Altman did not show trend for extreme values. We created and validated the first Spanish, Arabic, and Polish versions of the patient-completed CRS, with excellent correlation and agreement when compared to CRS-trained physician-completed form. Based on these results, the physician needs to calculate the body mass index. Completing the form was not time-consuming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

32. Acute Pericarditis and Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient with COVID-19: A Therapeutic Challenge.

Author

Asif T, Kassab K, Iskander F, and Alyousef T

Abstract

We report a case of acute viral pericarditis and cardiac tamponade in a patient with COVID-19 to highlight the associated treatment challenges, especially given the uncertainty associated with the safety of standard treatment. We also discuss complications associated with delayed diagnosis in patients who potentially may need mechanical ventilation., Learning Points: Large pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade should be considered in patients with COVID-19 who decompensate further after intubation and mechanical ventilation.The characteristics of pericardial effusion in patients with COVID-19 are described.A successful treatment approach for acute pericarditis in a patient with COVID-19 in light of differing opinions over the safety of NSAID use is described., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interests: The Authors declare that there are no competing interests., (© EFIM 2020.)
