Article Synopsis
- The review assesses the effectiveness and accuracy of digital tools that use Q&A formats for diagnosing and screening mental health conditions in adults.
- A systematic search of numerous databases identified 28 studies, focusing mainly on generalized anxiety and major depressive disorders.
- Results show a wide range of diagnostic accuracy among these tools, from poor to excellent, but most studies exhibited a high risk of bias, indicating that the digital mental health field still needs more reliable evidence.
Background: Despite the rapidly growing number of digital assessment tools for screening and diagnosing mental health disorders, little is known about their diagnostic accuracy.
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to establish the diagnostic accuracy of question- and answer-based digital assessment tools for diagnosing a range of highly prevalent psychiatric conditions in the adult population.
Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) will be used.
Objectives: This review summarizes current evidence on causes and management strategies for delayed pain post-cochlear implantation (CI) surgery, without clinical evidence of inflammation or infection.
Methods: The systematic review was undertaken in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 guidelines. A literature search was undertaken, with inclusion of patients who underwent CI and presented with delayed pain (>3 months post-operatively) around their device site without an identifiable cause.
Objective Of Review: Surgical site infections are a recognised complication of cochlear implant (CI) surgery with significant morbidity. Our aim was to search for the optimum prevention and management strategy to deal with this issue.
Type Of Review: Systematic review.
