Grading recommendations for enhanced patient safety in sentinel event analysis: the recommendation improvement matrix

Objectives The goal of sentinel event (SE) analysis is to prevent recurrence. However, the rate of SEs has remained constant over the past years. Research suggests this is in part due to the quality of recommendations. Currently, standards for the selection of recommendations are lacking. Developing a method to grade recommendations could...

Performance variability in perioperative sentinel events: report on a nationwide data set

Criteria for recommendations after perioperative sentinel events

Background The recurrence of sentinel events (SEs) is a persistent problem worldwide, despite repeated analyses and recommendations formulated to prevent recurrence. Research suggests this is partly attributable to the quality of the recommendations, and determining if a recommendation will be effective is not yet covered by an adequate...

Atomic hydrogen interactions with small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons cation

Abstract: When exposed to a thermal beam of hydrogen atoms, gas-phase coronene cations C₂₄H₁₂⁺ can be sequentially hydrogenated. This process is accompanied by a gradual transition of the electronic structure from aromatic to aliphatic. The planar very stable coronene structure transforms into the...
