After consulting with lawyers, I realized that I would need to go home to Jerusalem to deliver my son so that he would be issued a Jerusalem residency number, and not risk being banned from visiting the Palestinian territories, like his father.
The specific data collected were the following: previous experience: year of residency, number of previous chest drains positioned, and type of US technique used.
actual performance: success in pleural drainage (at 2 and 4 cm), development of pneumothorax (at 2 and 4 cm), dilator trauma, rib trauma, difficulties (at 2 and 4 cm) with catheter manipulation or placement, and difficulties with the use of US. previous experience: year of residency, number of previous chest drains positioned, and type of US technique used.
The effects of gender, length of residency, number of co-morbidities, admission route into the home and number of contacts with a district nurse were not larger than could be due to chance in these data (p > 0.05).
A questionnaire was developed to obtain socio-demographic information, such as the respondent's age, gender, employment status, residency, number of children, income, years of education, and teaching and health care insurance coverage.
The first part contained questions related to participant demographics and personal data, including age, gender, marital status, residency, number of family members, educational level, occupation, monthly family income level, possession of dental insurance, type of dental insurance, number of missing teeth, general health status, and transportation difficulties.
In addition to describing common stressors in residency, a number of studies refer to the use of coping mechanisms by residents across all years and a few studies describe mechanisms used specifically among first year residents [ 4, 12, 13].
The physicians were also asked about their practice type, the population area covered by their service, years in practice since completing residency, annualized number of neonates seen in their practice, and experience with cases of kernicterus.
Section A contained demographic data, including age, gender, education levels, residency, income, number of children, health insurance status and whether the child had a chronic disease such as asthma.
For both forms of regression, unadjusted analyses were followed by multivariate where the initial model included neighbourhood income in addition to sex, year of death, age, cancer cause of death, region of residency, the number of visits made to a medical specialist, the receipt of palliative radiotherapy and admission to the PCP as covariates.
About 10% of the controls were excluded from the study because they were affected by malignant cancer (all sites) registered in the RTV database; 6% of the controls were excluded on grounds of residency, a number comparable to the 4.8% of the cases excluded for the same reason.
