Abstract: Adolescent pregnancy has existed over the past centuries and it stills remains a significant public health problem in the world today. The aim of this paper was to identify and explore the risk factors that are associated with pregnancy complications in young women under the age of 20. In this paper, a systematic approach was used to search electronic databases for English language and human based studies from January 2000 to July 2013. Quality assessment of the included studies was assessed using the CASP and BestBETs checklists. A narrative synthesis was conducted on data extracted from included studies. A total of 832 studies were retrieved from all the databases out of which 21 studies were included for the review. The review found a significant association between the identified risk factors and pregnancy complications......

Abstract: Background: The Pediatric Early Warning System (PEWS) has been validated for using in pediatric acute care settings for early identification of children at increased risk of physiological deterioration. Also, it can be used in caring children's post open cardiac surgery for early detection, prompt management of deteriorating domains and consequently improve their clinical outcomes. Aim: this study aimed to study the effectiveness of early warning sign's detection educational sessions for nurses on clinical outcomes of post open cardiac surgery children.Method: A quasi-experimental design was conducted on a sample of 50 nurses worked atpediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) & cardiac department of Mansoura University Children's Hospital (MUCH), with a purposive sample........
