Quality of Digital Health Interventions Across Different Health Care Domains: Secondary Data Analysis Study.

Background: There are more than 350,000 digital health interventions (DHIs) in the app stores. To ensure that they are effective and safe to use, they should be assessed for compliance with best practice standards.

Objective: The objective of this paper was to examine and compare the compliance of DHIs with best practice standards and adherence to user experience (UX), professional and clinical assurance (PCA), and data privacy (DP).

Iron-Deficiency Anemia in CKD: A Narrative Review for the Kidney Care Team.

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased mortality and reduced health-related quality of life. Anemia is characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin, the iron-rich protein that the body uses for oxygen transport. Iron is required to produce hemoglobin, and disruptions in the iron homeostasis can lead to iron-deficiency anemia.

Prehospital Blood Administration in Pediatric Patients: A Case Report.

Prehospital blood administration programs have demonstrated success both on the battlefield and throughout civilian emergency medical services programs. While previous research often discusses the use of prehospital blood administration for adult trauma and medical patients, few studies have reported the benefits of prehospital blood administration for pediatric patients. This case report describes treatment received by a 7-year-old female gunshot victim who was successfully treated by a prehospital blood administration program in the southern United States.

The Effect of Prehospital Blood Transfusion on Patient Body Temperature from the Time of Emergency Medical Services Transfusion to Arrival at the Emergency Department.

Background: Transfusion of blood products is life-saving and time-sensitive in the setting of acute blood-loss anemia, and is increasingly common in the emergency medical services (EMS) setting. Prehospital blood products are generally "cold-stored" at 4°C, then warmed with a portable fluid-warming system for the purpose of preventing the "lethal triad" of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. This study aims to evaluate body temperature changes of EMS patients receiving packed red blood cells (PRBC) and/or fresh frozen plasma (FFP) when using the LifeWarmer Quantum Blood & Fluid Warming System (LifeWarmer, https://www.

System Usability Scale Benchmarking for Digital Health Apps: Meta-analysis.

Background: The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a widely used scale that has been used to quantify the usability of many software and hardware products. However, the SUS was not specifically designed to evaluate mobile apps, or in particular digital health apps (DHAs).

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether the widely used SUS distribution for benchmarking (mean 68, SD 12.
