CT-based airway changes after smoking cessation in the general population.

Purpose: Previous research has demonstrated improvements in CT-derived bronchial parameters in the first years after smoking cessation. This study investigates the association between longer smoking cessation duration and bronchial parameters in lung-healthy and lung-unhealthy ex-smokers from the general population.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using low-dose CT scans of ex-smokers from the general population with at least 10 pack-years from the ImaLife study, a sub study within the Lifelines cohort.

The role of guideline organizations in nationwide guideline implementation: a qualitative study.

Background: Research indicates suboptimal uptake and impact of clinical practice guidelines in Dutch healthcare. Dutch guideline organizations, i.e.

Enhancing Standardized and Structured Recording by Elderly Care Physicians for Reusing Electronic Health Record Data: Interview Study.

Background: Elderly care physicians (ECPs) in nursing homes document patients' health, medical conditions, and the care provided in electronic health records (EHRs). However, much of these health data currently lack structure and standardization, limiting their potential for health information exchange across care providers and reuse for quality improvement, policy development, and scientific research. Enhancing this potential requires insight into the attitudes and behaviors of ECPs toward standardized and structured recording in EHRs.

Trends of diagnostic adverse events in hospital deaths: longitudinal analyses of four retrospective record review studies.

Objectives: To investigate longitudinal trends in the incidence, preventability, and causes of DAEs (diagnostic adverse events) between 2008 and 2019 and compare DAEs to other AE (adverse event) types.

Methods: This study investigated longitudinal trends of DAEs using combined data from four large Dutch AE record review studies. The original four AE studies included 100-150 randomly selected records of deceased patients from around 20 hospitals in each study, resulting in a total of 10,943 patient records.

Bridging Perspectives, Building Resilience: Safety-II Guided Reflexive Dialogues Between Care Professionals and Clients as Part of Developing Integrated Maternity Care.

Background: Limitations of traditional structures and approaches to further enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and systemic sustainability in healthcare, are becoming increasingly visible. Embedding reflexivity is a proposed strategy to promote progress. We aimed to explore the potential of creating reflexive spaces for promoting integration and client-centeredness in maternity care specifically.
