Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes significant morbidity and mortality. Medical therapies can reduce the progression of disease by up to 50%. CKD is undiagnosed in the majority of people who have it, resulting in undertreatment.

Second, to compare the health knowledge of the programme cohort to those of a national cohort in Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ). Design: This mixed-methods study collected health knowledge and health belief data in a questionnaire at baseline and 12-, 24-, and 60-month follow-up assessments.

Objective: This study aimed to determine 5-year outcomes from a 12-month, family-based, multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention program for children.
Methods: This study was the 5-year follow-up of a randomized clinical trial comparing a low-intensity control group (home-based assessments) with a high-intensity intervention group (assessments plus weekly sessions) in New Zealand. Participants were aged 5 to 16 years with BMI ≥ 98th centile or > 91st centile with weight-related comorbidities.
Article Synopsis
- CBL and TBL are two effective small-group learning methods in medical education that utilize authentic clinical cases and promote active learning, yet they differ in their focus and application.
- In a study involving Year 2 medical students, a majority found CBL to enhance their TBL experience by focusing on applying knowledge to clinical problems with effective facilitator support.
- The findings suggest that while TBL is important for grasping basic sciences, CBL significantly improves clinical reasoning skills among students.
