Background. A 2017 situational analysis assessing Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) development in the Philippines revealed CPGs of inconsistent quality. In response, the Department of Health (DOH)-Philippine Health Insurance Corporation Manual for CPG Development was developed to outline the standardized steps of the CPG development process. To implement this, technically qualified institutions and individuals should be commissioned.
Objective. To identify qualified institutions and individuals and map out their technical skills and potential for capacit building in CPG development
Methods. Mixed methods were used in this cross-sectional study. A snowballing method identified specific institutions and individuals. Self-administered surveys and key informant interviews were conducted to determine competence, strengths, and gaps in the development of CPGs.
Results. A total of 74 individuals from 45 institutions with competencies in CPG development were identified. Of the 45 institutions, 72% were non-clinical, with roughly half working on formal research. Of the 74 individuals, 96% possessed relevant knowledge and skills and 85% already provided training on CPG development topics. Around half of the respondents have been part of a CPG development task force. Only about half were able to incorporate social concepts of equity, and only one-third had experience in managing conflicts of interest.
Conclusion. Qualified institutions and individuals identified in this capacity mapping can be tapped in future CPG development in the country. Incorporation of social concepts and management of conflicts of interest still need to be ensured.

Authors: Ishiekwen Abeabe, Christopher , Aliyu Abubakar Sadiq , Nwafor Maduakonam Simon 
Published: May 2022

Background: Dosimetry in diagnostic radiology is fundamental to providing information to practitioners regarding the level of their doses and to ensure adequate optimization of the protection of patients presenting for radiological examinations. The introduction and implementation of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in diagnostic radiology has proven to be a potent tool for quality control and dose reduction. This has not been comprehensively addressed in Nigeria.
Objective: To carryout dose audit of patients presenting for common radiographic projections in select hospitals in Kaduna State, Nigeria.
Methodology: Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to measure entrance surface dose (ESD) on 420 randomly selected adult patients presenting for x-ray examination of the chest PA/Lateral, skull PA/Lateral, lumbar spine AP/Lateral, abdomen and pelvic AP, respectively. Results were compared with existing literature.
Results: The range of the mean ESD determined for the study population on various x-ray examinations were: chest PA (0.44 – 0.9 mGy), and lateral (0.9 – 1.5 mGy); skull PA (2.0 – 4.7 mGy), and lateral (1.7 – 3.4 mGy); lumbar spine AP (3.4 -7.8 mGy), and lateral (6.8 –11.3 mGy); abdomen AP (3.6 – 6.2 mGy); and pelvic AP (2.4 – 6.9 mGy). Comparison showed dose levels were below IAEA recommendations.
Conclusion: In the absence of arbitrary high doses, practice is generally safe and will not result in unwarranted hazards to the patients.

Published: May 2022

Background:Quality control of conventional x-ray tube ensures that the patient integral radiation dose is minimized and image quality is improved, by controlling the x-ray beam to reduce scatter radiation.
Objective:To assess x-ray tubes for half value layer (HVL), x-ray field and light field congruence using known standard.
Methodology:The HVLs were measured using calibrated, non-invasive, digital multifunctional detector meter that incorporate computer output. The detector was positioned at the center of the collimated beam axis with focus-to-image distance (FID) of 100 cm. Tube potentials of 80 and 100 kVp were selected, and used to make exposures. The corresponding HVLs were then recorded. Also, x-ray field and light field congruence were measured by placing 18 cm x 24 cm cassette loaded with film at FID of 100 cm. The collimator light was in ON position and metal markers were used to delineate the periphery of the light field. Misalignment was calculated from the developed radiographs using standard formula.
Results:The HVL ranged from 3.40 to 4.4mmAl. Also, the sum of the misalignment in both orthogonal directions ranged from 7.21 to 9.70 % of FID in all three centers.
Conclusion:The HVL were within standard limit at 80 and 100 kVp in all the centers studied. However, x-ray field and light field were grossly misaligned.

Authors: Okon Ime E. , Ugwu Anthony , Akuchukwu-Okafor Chioma H. 
Published: May 2022

Background: Developing a mechanism for risk sharing in public-private partnerships (PPP) is crucial to success of the project as well as improving returns to the government and the private investor. It has become needful to develop a project-specific model for radio-diagnostic facilities.
Objective: To develop a model of risk allocation for PPP in radio-diagnostic facilities in Nigeria.
Methodology: The survey was undertaken from January 2017 to December 2017. A total of 122 questionnaires aimed at allocating different risk factors to either the public or private sector were sent out with 82 (67.21%) returned for data analysis. The target respondents were radiographers and radiologists in PPP and academics who had gained in-depth knowledge of the PPP model through research. Data collected were presented in tables and the preferred risks allocation expressed in percentage.
Results: Out of thirty-three key risks in this study, eighteen (55%) were preferably shared between the public and private sectors. This cut across all the risks groups (political, economic, legal, natural and operational). There is no risk that is solely retained by the public sector (government) with percentage scores above 50%.
Conclusion: The risk allocation model for PPP in Radio-diagnostic facilities suggests that all the risk groups should be shared between the public and private sectors. This study will serve as a risk mitigation tool for the government agencies and prospective investors in this area.

Published: May 2022

IntroductionCoronary artery disease is a common diagnosis among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The treatment and timing of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain controversial. We sought to compare in-hospital periprocedural outcomes of combined TAVR and PCI during the same index hospitalization versus the isolated TAVR procedure.Material and methodsThe study population was extracted from the 2016 Nationwide Readmissions Data (NRD) using International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition, clinical modifications/procedure coding system codes for TAVR, coronary PCI, and post-procedural complications. Study endpoints included in-hospital all-cause mortality, length of index hospital stay, cardiogenic shock, need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, mechanical complications of prosthetic valve, paravalvular leak (PVL), acute kidney injury (AKI), bleeding and total hospital charges. Propensity matching was used to adjust for baseline characteristics.ResultsThere were 23,604 TAVRs in the 2016 NRD, of which 852 were combined with PCI during the same index hospitalization. Mean age was 80.5 years and 45.9% were female. In comparison to isolated TAVR, TAVR-PCI was associated with higher in-hospital all-cause mortality (4.5% vs. 1.7%, p < 0.01), longer length of stay (10.5 vs. 5.4 days, p < 0.01), and higher incidence of cardiogenic shock (9.4% vs. 2.1%, p < 0.01), use of MCS devices (6.8% vs. 0.7%, p < 0.01), mechanical complications of prosthetic valve (6.8% vs. 0.7%, p < 0.01), PVL (0.9% vs. 0.4%, p = 0.01), AKI (25.5% vs. 11.5%, p < 0.01), bleeding (25.2% vs. 18.1%, p < 0.01), and total hospital charges ($354,725 vs. $220474, p < 0.01).ConclusionsIn comparison to isolated TAVR, combined TAVR-PCI was associated with a higher incidence of in-hospital morbidity and mortality. The association and mechanism of increased mortality warrant further study.
