Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated associations between antepartum weight change and adverse pregnancy outcomes and between antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens and week-50 postpartum body mass index in IMPAACT 2010. METHODS Women with HIV-1 in 9 countries were randomized 1:1:1 at 14-28 weeks gestational age (GA) to start dolutegravir(DTG)+emtricitabine(FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate(TAF) versus DTG+FTC/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) versus efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF. Insufficient antepartum weight gain was defined using IOM guidelines. Cox-proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association between antepartum weight change and adverse pregnancy outcomes: stillbirth (≥20 weeks GA), preterm delivery (<37 weeks GA), small for gestational age (SGA<10th percentile), and a composite of these endpoints. RESULTS 643 participants were randomized: 217 in DTG+FTC/TAF, 215 in DTG+FTC/TDF, and 211 in EFV/FTC/TDF arms. Baseline medians were: GA 21.9 weeks, HIV RNA 903 copies/mL, CD4 count 466 cells/uL. Insufficient weight gain was least frequent with DTG+FTC/TAF (15.0%) versus DTG+FTC/TDF (23.6%) and EFV/FTC/TDF (30.4%). Women in the DTG+FTC/TAF arm had the lowest rate of composite adverse pregnancy outcome. Low antepartum weight gain was associated with higher hazard of composite adverse pregnancy outcome (HR 1.44, 95%CI 1.04, 2.00) and SGA (HR 1.48, 95%CI 0.99, 2.22). More women in the DTG+FTC/TAF arm had body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 at 50 weeks postpartum (54.7%) versus the DTG+FTC/TDF (45.2%) and EFV/FTC/TDF (34.2%) arms. CONCLUSIONS Antepartum weight gain on DTG regimens was protective against adverse pregnancy outcomes traditionally associated with insufficient weight gain, supportive of guidelines recommending DTG-based ART for women starting ART during pregnancy. Interventions to mitigate postpartum weight gain are needed.

Abstract
Objective: The present study aimed to describe the characteristics of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens and occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (oPEP) in Siriraj Hospital.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective cohort study was performed of healthcare workers (HCWs) who had experienced occupational injury in Siriraj Hospital in 2015. Data were extracted from the hospital database.
Results: In total, 389 injury episodes were described; of which 293 (75.3%) involved female staff, and 112 (28.8%) involved nurses. The highest number of accidents (112, 28.8%) occurred in the operation room. Needlestick injury (210, 54%) was the most common injury. Overall, 94 (24.1%) HCWs received oPEP; 67 (71.2%) events carried a risk of HIV acquisition, and in 27 (28.7%) cases, the patients decided to take oPEP. Common oPEP regimens were TDF/XTC/LPV/r (33, 35.1%) and TDF/XTC/RPV (32, 34%). Nearly half of the HCWs who received an LPV/r-based oPEP regimen had gastrointestinal intolerance and switched to second-line regimens. Among those who received oPEP, 52 (77.6%) returned at 1 month and 26 (38.8%) returned at 3 months after exposure for a serology test. There was no seroconversion in this cohort.
Conclusion: Occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens is a common and increasing risk of infection among HCWs. oPEP with effective antiretroviral drugs within 72 hours after exposure is the main strategy for HIV prevention. The selection of an oPEP regimen with less toxic pills should be considered for efficacy, safety, and adherence. Interventions such as a tracking system or message reminders should be implemented to improve the follow-up rate among HCWs.

Abstract
Hospital workers are at high risk of contact with COVID-19 patients. Currently, there is no evidence-based, comprehensive risk assessment tool for healthcare-related exposure; so, we aimed to identify independent factors related to COVID-19 infection in hospital workers following workplace exposure(s) and construct a risk prediction model. We analyzed the COVID-19 contact tracing dataset from 15 July to 31 December 2021 using multiple logistic regression analysis, considering exposure details, demographics, and vaccination history. Of 7146 included exposures to confirmed COVID-19 patients, 229 (4.2%) had subsequently tested positive via RT-PCR. Independent risk factors for a positive test were having symptoms (adjusted odds ratio 4.94, 95%CI 3.83−6.39), participating in an unprotected aerosol-generating procedure (aOR 2.87, 1.66−4.96), duration of exposure >15 min (aOR 2.52, 1.82−3.49), personnel who did not wear a mask (aOR 2.49, 1.75−3.54), exposure to aerodigestive secretion (aOR 1.5, 1.03−2.17), index patient not wearing a mask (aOR 1.44, 1.01−2.07), and exposure distance <1 m without eye protection (aOR 1.39, 1.02−1.89). High-potency vaccines and high levels of education protected against infection. A risk model and scoring system with good discrimination power were built. Having symptoms, unprotected exposure, lower education level, and receiving low potency vaccines increased the risk of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 following healthcare-related exposure events.

Abstract
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (HIV-PrEP) is an effective method for preventing HIV transmission, and it is recommended in several international guidelines. Perceptions and knowledge about HIV-PrEP prescription among healthcare providers have not been investigated in Thailand where HIV-PrEP is a novel healthcare topic. The objective of study was to determine healthcare providers' attitudes towards, knowledge about, and confidence to prescribe HIV-PrEP in Thailand.A questionnaire was administered to Thai healthcare providers during May 1, 2017 to September 5, 2018.Of the 500 questionnaires that were distributed, 460 were returned (92%). Respondents included 336 physicians (48 infectious disease [ID] physicians, 288 non-ID physicians) and 124 non-physicians (70 nurses, 35 pharmacists, and 19 others). Eighty one percent of respondents had a positive attitude towards HIV-PrEP. Multivariate analysis revealed being a non-ID physician, having prior knowledge about HIV-PrEP, believing that HIV-PrEP can reduce the number of new patients, and believing that HIV-PrEP is not associated with a higher incidence of other sexually transmitted infections were all factors significantly associated with having a positive attitude towards HIV-PrEP. The issue of most concern to respondents who had a negative attitude toward HIV-PrEP was poor patient adherence to antiviral medications. Only 57% of respondents had confidence to prescribe HIV-PrEP. Factors associated with confidence to prescribe HIV-PrEP included being an ID physician, believing that HIV-PrEP can reduce the number of new patients, believing in the safety of antiviral medications, and believing that HIV-PrEP is not associated with increased development of HIV drug resistance. The results of HIV-PrEP knowledge testing (8 questions) were categorized into good score (≥7/8) and fair score (≤6/8). Fifty five percent of participants had a good score result. Using multivariate analysis, the factors associated with a good score result were ID physician, having HIV-PrEP prescription experience, and believing that HIV-PrEP can reduce the number of new patients.Most Thai healthcare providers (81%) reported having a positive attitude towards HIV-PrEP. Successful HIV-PrEP implementation in Thailand will require steps to mitigate the described barriers, and training for healthcare providers, which will strengthen knowledge and improve both experience with and confidence to prescribe HIV-PrEP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are important cause of lower-extremity amputation. The inappropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy for DFI was associated with amputation. We created the Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) of empirical antimicrobial (ATB) therapy for in-patients with DFIs. The primary outcome of present study was to evaluate the intervention using educate and training the surgeons to adhere with CPG. The secondary outcome was the decreasing of unfavorable outcome (amputations).
Methods
A prospective study of CPG implementation for treatment in adult in-patients who had DFIs was conducted at surgical and orthopedics wards. The CPG was developed by the investigator team based on the data from our previous study (submitted to publish). CPG was presented monthly to train the orthopedic and vascular surgeons for 1 year. The empirical ATB regimens were prescribed by the responsible surgeon who was trained to use CPG. Demographics data, wound characteristics, microbiological data, ATB therapy, and clinical outcome were recorded. The appropriate empirical ATB treatment was determined by investigators weather CPG matched or microbiological matched. The adherence to CPG, the appropriate empirical ATB, and the unfavorable outcome were analyzed. All data were reported by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results
A total of 85 DFIs patients were enrolled. The patients received the appropriate empirical ATB matched to CPG and matched to microbiological data, were 87% and 67%, respectively. The unfavorable outcome was 26% while previously was 72.4% (submitted to publish data) before CPG implementation. The independent factors associated with unfavorable outcomes were (1) an inappropriate ATB and (2) infections with drug-resistant pathogens (adjusted relative ratio; aRR 2.98; 95% CI: 1.36–6.55, P = 0.007 and aRR 1.90; 95% CI: 1.05–3.43, P = 0.034, respectively).
Conclusion
The current study demonstrated that mothly training of CPG resulting in the high adherence (87%) of CPG use and resulting in high rate of appropriate empirical ATB. Educational intervention insisted the responsible physician for administration the appropriate ATB with the improvement of unfavorable outcome in DFIs.
