Patients' perspectives and preferences toward telemedicine versus in-person visits: a mixed-methods study on 1226 patients.

Introduction: Despite the fact that telemedicine can eliminate geographical and time limitations and offer the possibility of diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases by sharing reliable information, many individuals still prefer to visit medical centers for in-person consultations. The aim of this study was to determine the level of acceptance of telemedicine compared to in-person visits, identify the perceived advantages of telemedicine over in-person visits, and to explore the reasons why patients choose either of these two types of visits.

Methods: We developed a questionnaire using the rational method.

Using an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system for prediction of successful aging: a comparison with common machine learning algorithms.

Introduction: The global society is currently facing a rise in the elderly population. The concept of successful aging (SA) appeared in the gerontological literature to overcome the challenges and problems of population aging. SA is a subjective and multidimensional concept with many ambiguities regarding its meaning or measuring.

Which are best for successful aging prediction? Bagging, boosting, or simple machine learning algorithms?

Background: The worldwide society is currently facing an epidemiological shift due to the significant improvement in life expectancy and increase in the elderly population. This shift requires the public and scientific community to highlight successful aging (SA), as an indicator representing the quality of elderly people's health. SA is a subjective, complex, and multidimensional concept; thus, its meaning or measuring is a difficult task.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Coagulopathy Caused by the New Coronavirus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol.

Background: The new coronavirus is an agent of respiratory infections associated with thrombosis in vital organs. This study aimed to propose a better diagnosis and treatment of coagulation disorders caused by the new coronavirus (Covid-19).

Materials And Methods: Search in Cochrane central, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Ovid will be done.

Factors influencing quality of life among the elderly: An approach using logistic regression.

Background: Improving the physical, psychological, and social factors in the elderly significantly increases the QoL among them. This study aims to identify the crucial factors for predicting QoL among the elderly using statistical methods.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 980 samples related to the elderly with favorable and unfavorable QoL were investigated.
