A novel appetite loss in older adults with and without cognitive impairment (Aloc) screening scale
Health benefits to the pediatric population from reduction of ambient particulate matter in Krakow, Poland
There have been few assessments of the health benefits to children of policies aimed at curbing fossil fuel-related air pollution. This has resulted in a lack of awareness regarding their positive impact on the health of this vulnerable population. We estimated the pediatric health benefits of policies targeting coal burning in one of Europe’s most polluted cities, Kraków, Poland. We combined available data on child health outcomes, related conce…
Determinants of Quality of Life among Adolescents in the Małopolska Region, Poland
Knowledge about predictors associated with quality of life (QoL) in adolescents is important for public health. The aim of the study was to indicate determinants of the different dimensions of QoL in the fields of demographic, socio-economic factors, general health and lifestyle in a sample of Polish adolescents. The cross-sectional study was carried out in a southern region of Poland among 804 schoolchildren from junior high schools and upper se…
Post-Discharge Clostridioides difficile Infection after Arthroplasties in Poland, Infection Prevention and Control as the Key Element of Prevention of C. difficile Infections
Clostridioides difficile is still one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired infectious diarrhea (CDI), and the incidence of CDI is one of the indicators that allows conclusions to be derived on the correctness of antibiotic administration. The objective of this observational study was the analysis of post-discharge CDI incidence in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty, in order to specify optimum conditions for the surgical proce…
Is Vaginal Birth without an Episiotomy a Rarity in the 21st Century? Cross-Sectional Studies in Southern Poland
Purpose : The objective of this study was to analyze the birth methods (vaginal, with medical intervention, or by Cesarean Section, CS) predominant in the Malopolska province, to describe the risk factors for non-physiologically normal births, and to characterize the demographics of women who give birth and selected parameters of maternity care. Methods : The retrospective analysis was conducted on data collected in 2013−2014 in the framework of …
Relative validity of a semi-quantitative FFQ in 3-year-old Polish children
Objectives The aim of the study was to assess the relative validity of a semi-quantitative FFQ (SFFQ) which measures the usual dietary intake of 3-year-old children. Design The children's daily dietary intake was measured using the SFFQ. The average intake of three 24 h dietary recalls (24hDR) was calculated as a reference method. Wilcoxon's rank test and Spearman's rank-correlation coefficient were used to compare nutrient intakes assessed by bo…
P1-273 The changing role of mortality predictors over 20 years of observation
Longitudinal studies among elderly are concentrated on finding the predictors of mortality. Still, there is an open question if those predictors are stable over different observation periods or if they are changing. The aim of our study was to assess the change in gender-related predictors of mortality over 20 years of follow-up. Baseline data for this analysis come from epidemiological study of 2472 elderly residents of Krakow (age 65+) conducte…
P2-91 Calcium, phosphorus, and carbohydrates and the risk of colorectal cancer in Poland
Introduction An increasing trends of colorectal (CRC) morbidity and mortality across developed countries is observed. Epidemiological studies showed that majority of those cases are due to improper diet. The results on colorectal risk modification by dietary factors in central Europe are scarce. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of calcium, phosphorus and polysaccharides intake on colorectal cancer risk in Poland. Method…
SP1-78 Asthma-related hospital morbidity in Poland
Introduction Asthma prevalence is growing in many countries. The prevalence of asthma is particularly high in developed countries. In Poland asthma morbidity is growing. The aim of this study was to assess the hospital morbidity in Poland and to examine the area-based factors area (socioeconomic, accessibility to the health services and air pollution) that influence morbidity. Methods We used data from the “Hospitalisation” project in which the N…
