On the conflict between regulatory decrees of the national government and local regulations regarding urban regulations

La existencia de conflictos de normas en materia de asuntosreferidos al ordenamiento territorial, y provenientes de dos niveles de gobierno distintos (decretos reglamentarios del orden nacional y acuerdos del Concejo), deberían ser resueltos por vía de acciones de nulidad. Lo cierto es que lanecesidad de las administraciones locales de poner en práctica sus programas de gobierno, y en general de cumplir con sus funciones, les deja más cerca de la necesidad de tomar decisiones sobre cuál norma aplicar, que la de esperarresultados de lentos procesos judiciales. En este artículo se presentan algunos elementos que sirven de instrumento para dirimir esas contradicciones, con énfasis particular en las que se presenten entre decretos reglamentarios del gobierno nacional y los planes de ordenamiento territorial que adoptan los concejos municipales.The Conflicts-of-Law related to Colombian Political Units and Divisions Law, particularly those regard of two levels of Government, e.g. the Regulatory Decrees from the Government and the Municipal Agreements from Local Councils, should be settled by Nullity Action interpretation. The Local governments need to apply their Public Policy Programs and perform their public functions effectively, that gets them to depend less and less every time on a Judicial Proceeding. This paper shows some elements which can be useful for settle these conflicts of law, emphasizing all conflicts related between the Regulatory Decrees from the Government and Land Use Plans that the Local Councils adopt by Municipal Agreements

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
