Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to improve response rates for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) among outpatients at a Dutch university hospital, identifying characteristics that influence patient engagement and response behavior.
- - Researchers analyzed internal hospital strategies using the COM-B model and found that while response rates improved to 56%, challenges like language barriers and effective feedback mechanisms still existed.
- - The analysis revealed that patients with higher socioeconomic status and those attending in-person consultations were more likely to complete PROMs, highlighting the need for tailored engagement strategies to promote equity in healthcare.
Article Synopsis
- - The study at Erasmus Medical Center examined why less than half of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) utilize patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), aiming to identify factors that aid or hinder their adoption.
- - A mixed-methods approach was used, incorporating interviews, focus groups, and questionnaires from various stakeholders including patients, HCPs, and medical students, which led to themes relevant to training, motivation, and reducing burdens related to PROMs.
- - Findings highlighted that while providing digital tools and support is essential for PROM implementation, continuous efforts to engage and educate users are necessary for achieving successful adoption.
Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 has put unprecedented pressure on healthcare systems worldwide, leading to a reduction of the available healthcare capacity. Our objective was to develop a decision model to estimate the impact of postponing semielective surgical procedures on health, to support prioritization of care from a utilitarian perspective.
Methods: A cohort state-transition model was developed and applied to 43 semielective nonpediatric surgical procedures commonly performed in academic hospitals.
Background: The high frequency of outpatient visits after kidney transplantation is burdensome to both the recovering patient and health care capacity. Self-monitoring kidney function offers a promising strategy to reduce the number of these outpatient visits.
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether it is safe to rely on patients' self-measurements of creatinine and blood pressure, using data from a self-management randomized controlled trial.
Renal transplant patient acceptance of a self-management support system.

Background: Self-management support systems (SMSS) have been proposed for renal transplant patients to increase their autonomy and reduce the number of hospital visits. For the design and implementation of such systems, it is important to understand factors influencing patients' acceptance of a SMSS. This paper aims to identify these key factors.

Self-monitoring of creatinine in addition to blood pressure at home could alleviate the burden of frequent outpatient visits, but only if patients are willing to self-monitor and if they adhere to the self-monitoring measurement regimen. A prospective pilot study was conducted to assess patients' experiences and satisfaction.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The StatSensor® Xpress-i™, a point-of-care system for blood creatinine measurement, offers patients the possibility of self-monitoring creatinine. In this study, the analytical performance of the StatSensor® for both detecting current renal function and monitoring renal (dys)function in kidney transplant patients was examined.
Methods: Accuracy of the StatSensor® with capillary and venous whole blood was evaluated and compared to an isotopic dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)-traceable enzymatic creatinine test in venous serum (n=138).
