Article Synopsis
- Illness presenteeism (IP) is when healthcare professionals work while sick, and this phenomenon has gained attention, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to its impact on personal well-being and patient care.* -
- The study reviewed 4,277 articles and found that IP is influenced by cultural expectations, particularly the pressure to not appear weak, along with practical issues like heavy workloads and lack of sick leave options.* -
- Despite being problematic, IP is deeply entrenched in medical culture, and future research is needed to explore the complexities of this issue from various perspectives while considering potential educational and policy solutions.*
Background: Illness presenteeism (IP) is the phenomenon where individuals continue to work despite illness. While it has been a prevalent and longstanding issue in medicine, the recent onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing movement to improve physician wellness brings renewed interest in this topic. However, there have been no comprehensive reviews on the state of literature of this topic.

Objective: We assessed the impact of the transition from a primarily paper-based electronic health record (EHR) to a comprehensive EHR on emergency physician work tasks and efficiency in an academic emergency department (ED).
Methods: We conducted a time motion study of emergency physicians on shift in our ED. Fifteen emergency physicians were directly observed for two 4-hour sessions prior to EHR implementation, during go live, and then during post-implementation.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between gender, research productivity, academic rank, and departmental leadership positions of pathology faculty in North America.
Methods: The online information presented for the faculty members in all American- and Canadian-accredited pathology residency programs' official websites and Elsevier's SCOPUS were queried to assess research productivity, academic ranks, and leadership positions.
Results: Among 5,228 academic pathologists included in our study, there were 3,122 (59.
Purpose: The purpose of this methodological review was to determine the extent to which comparative imaging systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) use primary studies with comparative or non-comparative designs.
Methods: MEDLINE was used to identify DTA systematic reviews published in imaging journals between January 2000 and May 2018.
Inclusion Criteria: systematic reviews comparing at least two index tests (one of which was imaging-based); review characteristics were extracted.
