Article Synopsis
- The introduction describes the growing issue of postoperative complications and how a new risk stratification tool, CARES-ML, aims to reduce these risks by identifying high-risk patients early.
- The study design involves a randomized controlled trial with over 9,200 patients undergoing elective surgeries, comparing outcomes between those guided by the CARES tool and those who are not.
- The ethics section ensures patient consent and language support, with the study approved by the relevant review board and funding from Singapore’s National Medical Research Council, leading to findings that will be shared in peer-reviewed journals.
Article Synopsis
- About 1 in 3 adults have multiple chronic diseases, and while digital health innovations are aimed at improving care for these conditions, their adoption is still low.
- The scoping review seeks to evaluate how these digital health strategies for chronic disease management are implemented and assessed, identifying frameworks, methods, barriers, and recommendations.
- The review analyzed 252 studies, focusing mainly on mobile health, eHealth, and telehealth, but only a small fraction utilized formal implementation science frameworks, indicating the need for better integration of these theories in practice.
Objective: The objective is to examine the test-retest reliability and internal reliability of six self-report questions assessing both current (past 30 days) and lifetime cannabis smoking in an internet survey in the adult US population.
Design: Cross-sectional national survey.
Participants: Out of 957 US adults who completed a national 2020 survey administered through Ipsos KnowledgePanel, 557 completed a second survey ('reliability survey') aimed at assessing the test-retest and internal reliability of questions asking about current and lifetime cannabis smoking.
Background: The story completion method provides a different way of doing qualitative research. We note the emergent popularity of this method in health-related research, while much remains to be negotiated in terms of best practices for such studies. This scoping review aims to provide a synthesis on how researchers have used the story completion method in health services research.
