Pregnancy rates after tubal surgery in different etiological groups of infertility.

An analysis was made of the history of 302 patients who underwent laparotomy for tubal infertility. The following potential risk factors and their relationship to the pregnancy rate and outcome of pregnancy were studied: various groups of gynecological laparotomy, salpingitis, gonorrhoea, complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis, induced and spontaneous abortion and IUD-usage. 234 of the 302 patients (77.5 per cent) had one or more of the potential risk factors in their history. Salpingitis was the most frequent risk factor (36.1 per cent). Regarding pregnancy rate after tubal surgery the most serious risk factor was a previously performed gynecological laparotomy, followed by salpingitis, gonorrhea and complicated appendicitis. We found a gradual decrease in the pregnancy rate with increasing number of risk factors.

How Norway is improving nursing quality.

The Norwegian Nurses Association (NNA) is the professional organization for 42,000 nurses in Norway accounting for over 90% of the country's professional nurses. In the NNA constitution Norwegian nurses have expressed their commitment to the provision of high quality services to the public through: 1) influencing development of health care so that services are geared to prevention and resolution of health problems of the population, 2) influencing societal conditions for the improvement of health and 3) promoting high ethical, professional standards among nurses. In fulfilling this commitment numerous activities have been initiated over the past decade in practice, leadership, education and research. In 1987 the NNA took the initiative to set up a special project that aims to develop a comprehensive programme of nursing quality improvement. This includes development and monitoring of standards at national and local levels. Below, why this programme is needed and a status report on development.
