231. Hepatocelični rak - možnost resekcije jeterArpad Ivanecz, Marko Sremec, Tomaž Jagrič, Stojan Potrč, 2014, original scientific article Abstract: Resekcija jeter (RJ) je ostala glavna oblika terapije pri solitarnem hepatoceličnem raku (HCC), pri bolnikih z ohranjeno funkcijsko rezervo jeter in v primernem splošnem stanju. Izpopolnjene slikovne preiskave so pripomogle k boljši izbiri bolnikov. Kirurgija jeter je napredovala: uporabne so številne tehnike transekcije jetrnega tkiva; dosegljive so različne naprave, ki omogočajo hitrejše in natančnejše operiranje v brezkrvnem operativnem polju. Izboljšana kirurška tehnika, vzdrževanje nizkega centralnega venskega pritiska in napredek pri negi bolnika po operaciji so omogočili, da se je smrtnost po operaciji jeter v izbranih serijah znižala celo do 0%. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) klasifikacija poleg zamejitve bolezni, nudi priporočila tudi glede izbora terapije. Kirurško terapijo omejuje zgolj na bolnike z zgodnjim stadijem raka. Namen tega prispevka je raziskati, ali je v sedanjem času mogoče RJ opraviti s sprejemljivimi kratko- in dolgoročnimi rezultati tudi pri bolnikih s takšnim HCC, pri katerem so prisotni številni in veliki tumorji, ki makroskopsko vdirajo v žile.

239. Functional complement analysis can predict genetic testing results and long-term outcome in patients with complement deficienciesŠtefan Blazina, Maruša Debeljak, Mitja Košnik, Saša Simčič, Sanja Stopinšek, Gašper Markelj, Nataša Toplak, Peter Kopač, Breda Zakotnik, Marko Pokorn, Tadej Avčin, 2018, original scientific article Abstract: Background: Prevalence of complement deficiencies (CDs) is markedly higher in Slovenian primary immunodeficiency (PID) registry in comparison to other national and international PID registries.
Objective: The purposes of our study were to confirm CD and define complete and partial CD in registered patients in Slovenia, to evaluate frequency of clinical manifestations, and to assess the risk for characteristic infections separately for subjects with complete and partial CD.
Methods: CD was confirmed with genetic analyses in patients with C2 deficiency, C8 deficiency, and hereditary angioedema or with repeated functional complement studies and measurement of complement components in other CD. Results of genetic studies (homozygous subjects vs. heterozygous carriers) and complement functional studies were analyzed to define complete (complement below the level of heterozygous carriers) and partial CD (complement above the level of homozygous patients). Presence of characteristic infections was assessed separately for complete and partial CD.
Results: Genetic analyses confirmed markedly higher prevalence of CD in Slovenian PID registry (26% of all PID) than in other national and international PID registries (0.5–6% of all PID). Complement functional studies and complement component concentrations reliably distinguished between homozygous and heterozygous CD carriers. Subjects with partial CD had higher risk for characteristic infections than previously reported.
Conclusion: Results of our study imply under-recognition of CD worldwide. Complement functional studies and complement component concentrations reliably predicted risk for characteristic infections in patients with complete or partial CD. Vaccination against encapsulated bacteria should be advocated also for subjects with partial CD and not limited to complete CD.

240. Prevalence of and factors associated with healthcare-associated infections in Slovenian acute care hospitals : results of the third national surveyIrena Klavs, Mojca Serdt, Aleš Korošec, Tatjana Lejko-Zupanc, Blaž Pečavar, 2019, original scientific article Abstract: Introduction. In the third Slovenian national healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) prevalence survey, conducted within the European point prevalence survey of HAIs and antimicrobial use in acute care hospitals, we estimated the prevalence of all types of HAIs and identified factors associated with them. Methods. Patients were enrolled into a one-day cross-sectional study in November 2017. Descriptive analyses were performed to describe the characteristics of patients, their exposure to invasive procedures and the prevalence of different types of HAIs. Univariate and multivariate analyses of association of having at least one HAI with possible risk factors were performed to identify risk factors. Results. Among 5,743 patients, 4.4% had at least one HAI and an additional 2.2% were still treated for HAIs on the day of the survey, with a prevalence of HAIs of 6.6%. The prevalence of pneumoniae was the highest (1.8%), followed by surgical site infections (1.5%) and urinary tract infections (1.2%). Prevalence of blood stream infections was 0.3%. In intensive care units (ICUs), the prevalence of patients with at least one HAI was 30.6%. Factors associated with HAIs included central vascular catheter (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.1; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 3.1–5.4), peripheral vascular catheter (aOR 3.0; 95% CI: 2.3–3.9), urinary catheter (aOR 1.8; 95% CI: 1.4–2.3). Conclusions. The prevalence of HAIs in Slovenian acute care hospitals in 2017 was substantial, especially in ICUs. HAIs prevention and control is an important public health priority. National surveillance of HAIs in ICUs should be developed to support evidence-based prevention and control.
