RESUMO
Patients with acute kidney injury who need continuous renal replacement therapy with locoregional citrate anticoagulation are at risk of citrate accumulation with disruption of the calcium balance. We aimed to evaluate the safety of detecting citrate accumulation and adjusting electrolyte disbalances during continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury using a blood sample frequency every 6 h. A prospective single center study in critically ill intensive care unit patients who suffered from acute kidney injury with the need of renal replacement therapy. We evaluated the deviations in pH, bicarbonate and calcium during CVVHD treatment with local regional citrate anticoagulation. Values indicate median and interquartile range. Severe hypocalcemia (below 1.04 mmol/L) or hypercalcemia (above 1.31 mmol/L) occurred in 10.5% and 4.8% respectively. During treatment changes of systemic ionized calcium, post-filter ionized calcium, pH and bicarbonate were corrected with protocolized adjustments. No arrhythmias or citrate accumulation were seen. The values stabilized after 42 h and after that no statistically significant changes were observed. After 42 h of citrate CVVHD, systemic ionized calcium, pH and bicarbonate levels stabilized. A blood sample frequency every 6 h is probably safe to detect citrate accumulation and to adjust the settings of electrolytes to avoid serious electrolyte disturbances in ICU patients without severe metabolic acidosis or severe liver failure.

BACKGROUND: Continuous infusion of conventional amphotericin B (CCAB) is used in ICUs for pre-emptive treatment of invasive fungal infections. Amphotericin B has previously been associated with nephrotoxicity. OBJECTIVES: To investigate if CCAB with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) results in renal impairment over time in critically ill patients with abdominal sepsis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted at mixed medical-surgical ICUs of two large teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. Consecutive patients who were treated on the ICUs between 2006 and 2019 for abdominal sepsis, with or without CCAB, were included. CCAB dosing was guided by TDM. Serum creatinine concentrations and renal failure scores of patients with CCAB treatment were compared with those without CCAB treatment. Excluded were: (i) patients treated with CCAB for less than 72 h; and (ii) patients with renal replacement therapy. RESULTS: A total of 319 patients were included (185 treated with CCAB and 134 controls). A multiple linear regression model showed that the serum creatinine concentration was independent of CCAB treatment (ß = -0.023; 95% CI = -12.2 to 7.2; P = 0.615). Propensity score matching resulted in 134 pairs of CCAB-treated and non-treated patients. Again, the analysis of these pairs showed that the cumulative CCAB dose was not associated with serum creatinine concentration during intensive care treatment (ß = 0.299; 95% CI = -0.38 to 0.98; P = 0.388). CONCLUSIONS: CCAB with TDM did not result in renal impairment over time in critically ill patients with abdominal sepsis.

AIMS: To evaluate the performance of fractional excretion of urea (FeU) for differentiating transient (T) from persistent (P) acute kidney injury (AKI) and to assess performance of FeU in predicting AKI in patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS: We performed secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational cohort study on the predictive performance of biological markers for AKI in critically ill patients. AKI was diagnosed according to RIFLE staging. RESULTS: Of 150 patients, 51 and 41 patients were classified as having T-AKI and P-AKI, respectively. The diagnostic performance for FeU to discriminate T-AKI from P-AKI on the day of AKI was poor (AUC-ROC = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.49-0.73). The diagnostic performance of FeU to predict AKI 1 and 2 days prior to AKI was poor as well (AUC-ROC = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.47-0.74, and 0.58; 95% CI: 0.43-0.73, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: FeU does not seem to be helpful in differentiating T- from P-AKI in critically ill patients and it is a poor predictor of AKI.

PURPOSE: Potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) may harm patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Due to the patient's critical condition and continuous monitoring on the ICU, not all pDDIs are clinically relevant. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) warning for irrelevant pDDIs could result in alert fatigue and overlooking important signals. Therefore, our aim was to describe the frequency of clinically relevant pDDIs (crpDDIs) to enable tailoring of CDSSs to the ICU setting. MATERIALS & METHODS: In this multicenter retrospective observational study, we used medication administration data to identify pDDIs in ICU admissions from 13 ICUs. Clinical relevance was based on a Delphi study in which intensivists and hospital pharmacists assessed the clinical relevance of pDDIs for the ICU setting. RESULTS: The mean number of pDDIs per 1000 medication administrations was 70.1, dropping to 31.0 when considering only crpDDIs. Of 103,871 ICU patients, 38% was exposed to a crpDDI. The most frequently occurring crpDDIs involve QT-prolonging agents, digoxin, or NSAIDs. CONCLUSIONS: Considering clinical relevance of pDDIs in the ICU setting is important, as only half of the detected pDDIs were crpDDIs. Therefore, tailoring CDSSs to the ICU may reduce alert fatigue and improve medication safety in ICU patients.

BACKGROUND: Incidence reports on acute lung injury (ALI) vary widely. An insight into the diagnostic preferences of critical care physicians when diagnosing ALI may improve identification of the ALI patient population. METHODS: Critical care physicians in the Netherlands were surveyed using vignettes involving hypothetical patients and a questionnaire. The vignettes varied in seven diagnostic determinants based on the North American European Consensus Conference and the lung injury score. Preferences were analyzed using a mixed-effects logistic regression model and presented as an odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: From 243 surveys sent to 30 hospitals, 101 were returned (42%). ORs were as follows: chest X-ray consistent with ALI: OR 1.7 (1.3-2.3), high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) (15 cmH(2)O): OR 5.0 (3.9-6.6), low pulmonary artery occlusion pressures (PAOP) (<18 mmHg): OR 4.7 (3.6-6.1), low compliance (30 ml/cmH(2)O): OR 0.7 (0.5-0.9), low PaO(2)/FiO(2) (<250 mmHg): OR 9.2 (6.9-12.3), absence of heart failure: OR 1.2 (0.9-1.5), presence of a risk factor for ALI (sepsis): OR 1.0 (0.8-1.3). The questionnaire revealed that critical care physicians with an anesthesiology background differed from physicians with an internal medicine background with regard to hemodynamic variables when considering an ALI diagnosis (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Dutch critical care physicians consider the PEEP level, but not the presence of a risk factor for ALI, as an important factor to diagnose ALI. Background specialty of critical care physicians influences diagnostic preferences and may account for variance in the reported incidence of ALI.

PURPOSE: Patients may transfer of hospital for clinical reasons but this may delay time to treatment. The purpose of this study is to provide insight in the extent of hospital transfer in breast cancer care; which type of patients transfer and what is the impact on time to treatment. METHODS: We included 41,413 breast cancer patients registered in the Netherlands Cancer Registry between 2014 and 2016. We investigated transfer of hospital between diagnosis and first treatment being surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Co-variate adjusted characteristics predictive for hospital transfer were determined. To adjust for possible treatment by indication bias we used propensity score matching (PSM). Time to treatment in patients with and without hospital transfer was compared. RESULTS: Among 41,413 patients, 8.5% of all patients transferred to another hospital between diagnosis and first treatment; 4.9% before primary surgery and 24.8% before NAC. Especially young (aged <40 years) patients and those who underwent a mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) were more likely to transfer. The association of mastectomy with IBR with hospital transfer remained when using PSM. Hospital transfer after diagnosis significantly prolonged time to treatment; breast-conserving surgery by 5 days, mastectomy by 7 days, mastectomy with IBR by 9 days and NAC by 1 day. CONCLUSIONS: While almost 5% of Dutch patients treated with primary surgery transfer hospital after diagnosis and up to 25% for patients treated with NAC, our findings suggest that especially those treated with primary surgery are at risk for additional treatment delay by hospital transfer.

AIMS: To determine the variation in radiation therapy boost use in a nationwide study following adjustment of a national guideline in 2011, as well as to address the relationship to patient, tumour and radiation therapy institutional factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All invasive breast cancers and non-invasive breast cancers (ductal carcinoma in situ; DCIS) that received external whole-breast radiation between 2011 and 2016 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Box plots were used to evaluate variation over time and logistic regression was carried out to address other factors influencing the variation. Funnel plots were constructed, with unadjusted and adjusted data for patient and tumour factors significantly affecting the use of a boost. RESULTS: For breast cancer patients (n = 45,207), the proportion receiving a boost and its range decreased over the years from 37.3-92.7% in 2011 to 28.3-65.4% in 2016. This trend was not observed in DCIS patients (n = 6,844). Young age, large tumours, high grade and the absence of tumour-free resection margins were associated with boost use for both breast cancer and DCIS. For breast cancer, triple-negative tumour subtype and metastatic lymph node involvement were also associated with boost use. Institutional factors did not influence the use of a boost and institutional variation remained substantial after case-mix adjustments. CONCLUSION: Following adjustment of a nationwide implemented guideline, variation in radiation therapy boost use decreased in patients with breast cancer but not in patients with DCIS. Several tumour and patient characteristics were associated with boost use. Substantial institutional variation could not be explained by differences in patient, tumour or predefined institutional characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Although the use of breast implants is generally considered to be safe, breast implants are associated with short- and long-term complications. To evaluate and improve the quality of breast implant surgery, and increase our knowledge of implant performance, the national Dutch Breast Implant Registry (DBIR) was established in 2015. DBIR is one of the first up-and-running breast implant registries worldwide and follows an opt-out structure. OBJECTIVE: This article provides an overview of the first outcomes and experiences of the DBIR. METHODS: The national coverage of DBIR was studied using data from the Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate. The incidence rate of breast implants was calculated for 2016 and 2017, and patient, device, and surgery characteristics were compared between cosmetic breast augmentations or reconstructive indications. Four infection control, measures were selected to demonstrate the variation in the Dutch clinical practice. RESULTS: In 2016, 95% of the hospitals and 78% of the private clinics participated in DBIR. Between 2015 and 2017, a total of 15,049 patients and 30,541 breast implants were included. A minimum breast implant incidence rate of 1 per 1,691 women could be determined for 2017. The majority of devices were inserted for a cosmetic indication (85.2%). In general, patient, device, and surgery characteristics differed per indication group. Substantial variation was seen in the use of infection control measures (range 0-100%). CONCLUSION: Preliminary results obtained from DBIR show high national participation rates and support further developments toward the improvement of breast implant surgery and patient safety.

A 59-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man were both brought to the Cardiac Emergency Clinic with circulatory arrest on the basis ofpulseless electrical activity. The first patient had had no prodromal symptoms and the second patient had visited his general practitioner 2 weeks earlier because of pain in the head and neck. In both patients, electrocardiography and echocardiography suggested acute myocardial infarction. However, both patients proved to be suffering from a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and both died. One-third ofthe patients with SAH are comatose at presentation. Cardiac manifestations such as ECG-abnormalities, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiopulmonary arrest, elevated troponin values, and signs of left ventricular dysfunction are common. These findings can be misleading and may have catastrophic consequences if anticoagulant therapy is initiated because of a presumed myocardial infarction. Low-threshold CT-scanning of the brain is therefore advised for patients who remain comatose after resuscitation for cardiac arrest in the presence of an atypical anamnesis.

In three patients, men aged 77, 83 and 69 years, pneumatosis intestinalis was detected during CT for abdominal pain occurring in the first patient after an aortic stent had been placed, and during laparotomy because of ileus in the latter two patients. The first patient underwent removal of an ischaemic intestinal segment but died later due to infection around the prosthesis. The other two patients recovered after conservative therapy. Pneumatosis intestinalis is defined as the presence of gas in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. Often it is detected by accident during abdominal radiographic examination or laparotomy. Pneumatosis intestinalis is a symptom and has been found in a wide variety of diseases. The clinical condition of the patient and the underlying disease determine the clinical significance of pneumatosis intestinalis and the therapy. The main issue is whether surgical intervention is necessary because of intestinal ischaemia or perforation.

INTRODUCTION: Despite potential advantages, application of chemotherapy in the neo-adjuvant (NAC) instead of adjuvant (AC) setting for breast cancer (BC) patients varies among hospitals. The aim of this study was to gain insight in patients' experiences with decisions on the timing of chemotherapy for stage II and III BC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 35-item online questionnaire was distributed among female patients (age>18) treated with either NAC or AC for clinical stage II/III invasive BC in 2013-2014 in the Netherlands. Outcome measures were the experienced exchange of information on the possible choice between both options and patients' involvement in the final decision on chemotherapy timing. Chemotherapy treatment experience was measured with the Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ). RESULTS: Of 805 invited patients, 49% responded (179 NAC, 215 AC). NAC-treated patients were younger and more often treated in teaching/academic hospitals and high-volume hospitals. Information on the possibility of NAC was given to a minority of AC-treated patients (AC, stage II:14%, stage III: 31%). Information on pros and cons of both NAC and AC was rated sufficient in about three fourth of respondents. Respondents not always felt having a choice in the timing of chemotherapy (stage II: 54% NAC vs 36% AC; stage III: 26% NAC, 54% AC). CONCLUSION: The need to make a treatment decision on NAC was found to be made explicit in only a small number of adjuvant treated patients, in particular in BC stage II. Less than half of the respondents felt they had a real choice.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the opinion of surgical and medical oncologists on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for early breast cancer. METHODS: Surgical and medical oncologists (N = 292) participating in breast cancer care in the Netherlands were invited for a 20-question survey on the influence of patient, disease, and management related factors on their decisions towards NAC. RESULTS: A total of 138 surgical and medical oncologists from 64 out of 89 different Dutch hospitals completed the survey. NAC was recommended for locally advanced breast cancer (94%) and for downstaging to enable breast conserving surgery (BCS) (75%). Despite willingness to downstage, 64% of clinicians routinely recommended NAC when systemic therapy was indicated preoperatively. Reported reasons to refrain from NAC are comorbidities (68%), age >70 years (52%), and WHO-performance status ≥2 (93%). Opinions on NAC and surgical management were inconclusive; while 75% recommends NAC to enable BCS, some stated that BCS after NAC increases the risk of a non-radical resection (21%), surgical complications (9%) and recurrence of disease (5%). CONCLUSION: This article emphasizes the need for more consensus among specialists on the indications for NAC in early BC patients. Unambiguous and evidence-based treatment information could improve doctor-patient communication, supporting the patient in chemotherapy timing decision-making.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the safety and efficacy of contrast injection through a central venous catheter (CVC) for contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed. Studies were deemed eligible if they reported on the use of CVCs for contrast administration. Selected articles were assessed for their relevance and risk of bias. Articles with low relevance and high risk of bias or both were excluded. Data from included articles was extracted. RESULTS: Seven studies reported on the use of CVCs for contrast administration. Catheter rupture did not occur in any study. The incidence of dislocation ranged from 2.2-15.4%. Quality of scans was described in three studies, with less contrast enhancement of pulmonary arteries and the thoracic aorta in two studies, and average or above average quality in one study. Four other studies used higher flowrates, but did not report quality of scans. CONCLUSION: Contrast injection via CVCs can be performed safely for CECT when using a strict protocol. Quality of scans depended on multiple factors like flow rate, indication of the scan, and cardiac output of the patient. In each patient, an individual evaluation whether to use the CVC as access for contrast media should be made, while bolus tracking may be mandatory in most cases.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is important in the optimal treatment of patients with locally advanced (stage III) breast cancer (BC). The objective of this study was to examine the clinical practice of NAC for stage III BC patients in all Dutch hospitals participating in BC care. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients aged 18-70 years who received surgery for stage III BC from January 2011 to September 2015 were selected from the national multidisciplinary NABON Breast Cancer Audit. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess independent predictors of NAC use, focussing on hospital factors. RESULTS: A total of 1230 out of 1556 patients with stage III BC (79%) received NAC prior to surgery. The use of NAC did not change over time. We observed a large variation of NAC use between hospitals (0-100%). Age <50 years, breast MRI, large tumour size, advanced nodal disease, negative hormone receptor status and hospital participation in neoadjuvant clinical studies were significant independent predictors of NAC use (all P < 0.001). NAC use in stage III BC was not influenced by hospital type and hospital surgical volume. After adjustment for all independent predictors, variation in NAC use between hospitals remained (0% to 97%). CONCLUSION: NAC was used in 79% of patients with stage III BC, which represent a high quality of care in the NL. Patient, tumour, clinical management and hospital factors could not explain considerable variation in its use between hospitals. Hospital participation in neoadjuvant studies did show to improve the use of NAC in daily practice.

Two patients with a bipolar disorder, a woman aged 56 and a woman aged 68, who had used lithium for more than 30 years, were seen with side effects from this medication. Both patients were treated by their general practitioner and had not visited a psychiatrist for many years. The first patient had a chronic lithium intoxication with cerebellar signs and eventually coma, diabetes insipidus, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and psoriasis. After 6 weeks of treatment in the intensive-care unit she made a good recovery. The second patient had several lithium side effects. She was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma, hypothyroidism and a sick-sinus syndrome. A pacemaker was implanted 4 years earlier. The adenoma was surgically removed. After other medication was tried, the patient was once again given lithium, on which she was able to function well. The first patient had lithium concentrations above the therapeutic value for several years and both patients experienced a delay before their signs and symptoms were attributed to lithium. Lithium treatment should be monitored by an experienced psychiatrist.
