Background: Admission avoidance hospital at home provides active treatment by healthcare professionals in the patient's home for a condition that would otherwise require acute hospital inpatient care, and always for a limited time period. This is the fourth update of this review.
Objectives: To determine the effectiveness and cost of managing patients with admission avoidance hospital at home compared with inpatient hospital care.
Article Synopsis
- There are two main views on how children develop a theory of mind: the mentalist view suggests it's innate and emerges in infancy, while the minimalist view argues it develops gradually through learning during childhood.
- The minimalist perspective indicates that children initially focus on understanding behaviors instead of mental states, using repeated patterns in behavior to predict future actions and eventually acquire mental state vocabulary.
- A study involving infants aged 6 to 25 months showed that they observed a high number of repeated behaviors, which correlated with their understanding of mental state words, supporting the minimalist view of theory of mind development.
Background: In large multicentre trials in diverse settings, there is uncertainty about the need to adjust for centre variation in design and analysis. A key distinction is the difference between variation in outcome (independent of treatment) and variation in treatment effect. Through re-analysis of the CRASH-2 trial (2010), this study clarifies when and how to use multi-level models for multicentre studies with binary outcomes.
