One (8%) was rejected by > 50%. In addition to previous 2006 definitions, the panel also defined the open abdomen, lateralization of the abdominal musculature, polycompartment syndrome, abdominal compliance, and suggested a refined open abdomen classification system. Recommendations were possible regarding intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurement, approach to sustained IAH, philosophy of protocolized IAP management and same-hospital-stay fascial closure, use of decompressive laparotomy, and negative pressure wound therapy. Consensus suggestions included use of non-invasive therapies for treating IAH/ACS, considering body position and IAP, damage control resuscitation, prophylactic open abdomen usage, and prudence in early biological mesh usage. No recommendations were made for the use of diuretics, albumin, renal replacement therapies, and utilizing abdominal perfusion pressure as a resuscitation-endpoint. Collaborating Methodological Guideline Development and Clinical Experts produced Consensus Definitions/Clinical Management statements encompassing the most contemporary evidence. Data summaries now exist for clinically relevant IAH/ACS questions, which will facilitate future scientific reanalysis.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:45:19 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29618 startup", a local initiative in the greater metropolitan area of Dortmund, Germany. We have chosen this program as a proxy, because its design and main objective reflect the specifications of a typical social innovation. The multi-perspective and multi-method evaluation design we applied was composed of three evaluation studies: a benchmarking-evaluation study, a constantly implemented participant-evaluation study and, finally, a stakeholder-evaluation study. Originality/value: A strong emphasis was placed on a 360-degree approach, meaning that a variety of perspectives on the program's performance were included. Moreover, reviewing social innovations theoretically and conceptually, we derived three core evaluation criteria that are able to describe the success of a social innovation: use, diffusion and effects. Tailored and appropriate methods and measures were then used to gain the necessary information to apply the evaluation. Practical implications: This study contributes in identifying and applying a sound evaluation design to analyze and assess social innovations. For this purpose, three different approaches were used in order to gain relevant evaluation information considering the complex context of the program. Thus, the results of this research are expected to contribute improved monitoring and evaluating the success of social innovation ventures.]]> Fri 13 Apr 2018 10:41:15 AEST ]]>
