Post-pandemic patient safety: have the characteristics of incidents with harm changed? Comparative observational study in primary care via review of medical records with a trigger... by Gerardo Garzón González, Tamara Alonso Safont, Oscar Aguado Arroyo, Cristina Villanueva Sanz, Arancha Luaces Gayán, Esther Zamarrón Fraile, Juan José Jurado Balbuena, Inmaculada Mediavilla Herrera, Research Team “TriggerPrim®”

“…Conclusions No differences were found in the avoidability, severity, place of occurrence, or contributory factors of PSIHs before the pandemic and currently. In terms of the nature of these incidents, the outcomes revealed an increase in diagnostic errors (excluding diagnostic tests), which could be attributed to a greater frequency of remote consultations and a decrease in the longitudinality of care resulting from the shortage of professionals.…”

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio as surrogate for JAK2V617F suppression and event-free survival in polycythemia vera by Tiziano Barbui, Arianna Ghirardi, Victoria Empson, Francesca Fenili, Giuseppe Gaetano Loscocco, Annalisa Condorelli, Alessandra Iurlo, Daniele Cattaneo, Elena Rossi, Valerio De Stefano, Paola Guglielmelli, Christoph Klade, Heinz Gisslinger, Alessandro Rambaldi, Joseph M. Scandura, Alessandro Maria Vannucchi

“…Abstract Chronic systemic inflammation is a key driver of polycythemia vera (PV) progression, but the immunomodulatory effects of current treatments remain poorly defined. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an accessible biomarker of systemic inflammation proven in other contexts, but its role in monitoring PV disease activity has not been established. …”
