RESUMO
AIMS: This study aimed to identify recommendations for quality nursing care provision, focusing on the possibilities of delivering telehealth nursing at the national level in the Czech Republic. BACKGROUND: The significant growth in the use of technology in health care has changed the environment for patient care and how health care is provided. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the requirement for telemedicine use in everyday clinical practice. EVALUATION: A literature review aims to find guidelines, recommendations, manuals, standards or consensus papers published in 2017-2022. KEY ISSUES: In total, 12 guidelines were identified. Based on a critical evaluation carried out by two experts, the World Health Organization guideline focused on digital interventions to strengthen the health system has been identified. This guideline was evaluated to be of the highest quality and in line with the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations methodology. CONCLUSION: The provision of telemedicine nursing interventions is currently limited at the national level and is not entirely accepted in reimbursement yet. The interprofessional collaboration will be initiated to make recommendations for specific patient groups. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Selected guidelines can be recommended for national adoption to set up and support nursing interventions in telemedicine, including nursing management settings.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method in the treatment of not only Parkinson's disease motor complications but also dystonia and tremor, and there are data supporting the efficacy of DBS in epilepsy and some psychiatric problems. The alleviation of the neurologic problems may enable females of childbearing age to consider pregnancy because of being able to take care of their child. The aim of the study is to provide a review of the data available on the effect of DBS on the course of pregnancy and delivery in patients suffering from diseases amenable for DBS treatment (Parkinson's disease, dystonia, obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy). Although data available in the literature on pregnancy and childbirth in patients with an implanted active DBS system are limited to small case series and case reports, the number of younger patients implanted with DBS systems will potentially require more attention beyond specialized DBS centers. In emergency deliveries, general obstetricians and neurosurgeons should be provided with a protocol to prevent injuries to the implanted system with potentially devastating consequences for the patient.

Background: Bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is an effective treatment for refractory dystonia. Neuroradiological target and stimulation electrode trajectory planning with intraoperative microelectrode recordings (MER) and stimulation are used. With improving neuroradiological techniques, the need for MER is in dispute mainly because of the suspected risk of hemorrhage and the impact on clinical post DBS outcome. Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the preplanned GPi electrode trajectories with final trajectories selected for electrode implantation after electrophysiological monitoring and to discuss the factors potentially responsible for differences between preplanned and final trajectories. Finally, the potential association between the final trajectory selected for electrode implantation and clinical outcome will be analyzed. Methods: Forty patients underwent bilateral GPi DBS (right-sided implants first) for refractory dystonia. The relationship between preplanned and final trajectories (MicroDrive system) was correlated with patient (gender, age, dystonia type and duration) and surgery characteristics (anesthesia type, postoperative pneumocephalus) and clinical outcome measured using CGI (Clinical Global Impression parameter). The correlation between the preplanned and final trajectories together with CGI was compared between patients 1-20 and 21-40 for the learning curve effect. Results: The trajectory selected for definitive electrode implantation matched the preplanned trajectory in 72.5% and 70% on the right and left side respectively; 55% had bilateral definitive electrodes implanted along the preplanned trajectories. Statistical analysis did not confirm any of the studied factors as predictor of the difference between the preplanned and final trajectories. Also no association between CGI and final trajectory selected for electrode implantation in the right/left hemisphere has been proven. The percentages of final electrodes implanted along the preplanned trajectory (the correlation between anatomical planning and intraoperative electrophysiology results) did not differ between patients 1-20 and 21-40. Similarly, there were no statistically significant differences in CGI (clinical outcome) between patients 1-20 and 21-40. Conclusion: The final trajectory selected after electrophysiological study differed from the preplanned trajectory in a significant percentage of patients. No predictor of this difference was identified. The anatomo-electrophysiological difference was not predictive of the clinical outcome (as measured using CGI parameter).
RESUMO
This is a protocol for a scoping review that aims to determine how guideline authors using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach have addressed previously identified challenges related to public health. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews will be followed. We will search and screen titles of guidelines for all languages published in 2013-2021 in: the GIN library, BIGG database, Epistemonikos GRADE guidelines repository, GRADEpro Database, MAGICapp, NICE and WHO websites. Two reviewers will independently screen full texts of the documents identified. The following information will be extracted: methods used for identifying different stakeholders and incorporating their perspectives; methods for identification and prioritization of non-health outcomes; methods for determining thresholds for decision-making; methods for incorporating and grading evidence from non-randomized studies; methods for addressing concerns with conditional recommendations in public health; methods for reaching consensus; additional methodological concerns; and any modifications made to GRADE. A combination of directed content analysis and descriptive statistics will be used for data analysis, and the findings presented narratively in a tabular and graphical form. In this protocol, we present the pilot results from 13 identified eligible guidelines issued between January and August 2021. We will publish the full review results when they become available.

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which causes health problem that affects more patients in the past few years. To be able to offer appropriate care, epidemiological analyses are crucial at the national level and its comparison with the international situation. AIM: The demographic description of reported patients with parkinsonism (including Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonian syndromes) according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) from the national health registries. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data available from the National Health Information System-NHIS and the National Registry of Reimbursed Health Services (NRRHS). Analyzed epidemiological data are intending to determine the regional and specific prevalence of Parkinsonism in the Czech Republic. The International Classification of Diseases diagnoses (ICD-10) of G20 (Parkinson's disease-PD) and G23.1, G23.2, G23.3 (other degenerative disorders of basal ganglia), and G31.8 (another degenerative disease of basal ganglia) from the period of 2012 to 2018 were included into the analysis. RESULTS: We identified 78 453 unique patients from national registries in the period 2012 to 2018. Diagnoses of G20, G23.1, G23.2, and G31.8 were registered as the principal diagnoses in 76.6% of all individual patients. CONCLUSION: We have found a growing number of patients coded with ICD-10 of dg. G20, G23.1, G23.2, G23.3, or G31.8 (N = 27 891 in 2012, and N = 30 612 in 2018). We have proven regional differences in the prevalence of Parkinson´s diagnoses. Therefore we assume most likely also differences in the care of patients with PD based on the availability of specialty care centers.

INTRODUCTION: Perioperative care is a broad field covering an array of elective and emergency procedures. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for perioperative care exist with various degrees of methodological quality. We intend to critically appraise them using AGREE II instrument and investigate the use of Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We searched MEDLINE (Ovid), Epistemonikos, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and PROSPERO and did not identify any similar systematic review in this area. We will search databases, repositories and websites of guideline developers and medical societies, including MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), DynaMed, the GIN international guideline library and registry of guidelines in development, BIGG international database of GRADE guidelines, ECRI Guideline Trust or National Institute for Clinical Evidence to identify all CPGs for perioperative care in an adult population in a general clinical setting. We will include CPGs, expert guidance, position papers, guidance documents and consensus statements published in the last 5 years by experts or international organisations that provide guidance or recommendations in the available full text with no geographical or language limitation. Excluded will be those containing only good practice statements. Two independent reviewers will perform critical appraisal using the AGREE II tool. The data presented in a narrative and tabular form will include the results of the critical appraisal for all identified CPGs for all AGREE II domains and an assessment of the use of the GRADE approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required. We will disseminate the findings through professional networks and conference presentations and will publish the results.

The number of reports on cognitive changes related to deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Parkinson's disease (PD) is growing. The aim of the review was to assess whether high-density electroencephalography (HD EEG) in patients with DBS treatment for PD is used and mentioned as a research method for the assessment of cognitive function changes after DBS of the subthalamic nucleus. The HD EEG examination method demonstrates the effects of DBS on changes of connectivity among various areas of the brain using changes in bioelectric potentials recorded on the scalp during examination. The search results yielded seven studies on the possibility of using HD EEG to investigate changes in bioelectric potentials with various protocols (motor tasks, auditory stimuli). Based on the results, HD EEG appears to be a feasible research method in patients with PD and established DBS therapy. Therefore, we plan to use HD EEG to demonstrate the effects of DBS on changes of connectivity among various areas of the brain utilizing changes in bioelectric potentials recorded on the scalp during HD EEG examination.
