Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on calculating minimal important changes (MICs) for the EQ-5D-3L index score improvements after hip and knee replacements, using a large dataset to assess patient-reported outcome measures.
- A retrospective analysis of data from over 500,000 surgeries revealed that MICs varied based on patient characteristics like pre-operative health status, depression, and sex.
- Results indicated that patients with worse pre-operative scores needed larger MICs to notice improvement, with knee replacement patients generally requiring smaller MICs than those undergoing hip replacements.
Background: A clinical dashboard is a data-driven clinical decision support tool visualizing multiple key performance indicators in a single report while minimizing time and effort for data gathering. Studies have shown that including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in clinical dashboards supports the clinician's understanding of how treatments impact patients' health status, helps identify changes in health-related quality of life at an early stage, and strengthens patient-physician communication.
Objective: This study aims to determine design components for clinical dashboards incorporating PROMs to inform software producers and users (ie, physicians).
Risk factors for acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in community settings are not fully understood, especially in low-income countries. We examined the incidence and risk factors associated with ARIs in under-two children from the Microbiota and Health study. Children from a peri-urban area of Dhaka (Bangladesh) were followed from birth to 2 years of age by both active surveillance of ARIs and regular scheduled visits.
