Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the use of the modified pouchitis disease activity index (mPDAI) to assess symptoms and endoscopic findings among different pouchitis phenotypes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
  • - A total of 103 IBD patients were analyzed, revealing that patients with normal pouches had a median mPDAI of 0, while those with cuffitis had the highest median score of 4.0, indicating more severe symptoms.
  • - The findings suggested that the mPDAI may have limited effectiveness in differentiating between various inflammatory phenotypes, prompting the need for further research to identify which symptoms should be monitored.

Understanding differences in how demographic groups experience telehealth may be relevant in addressing potential disparities in telehealth usage. We seek to identify and examine themes most pertinent to patients' negative telehealth experiences by age and race in order to inform interventions to improve patients' future telehealth experiences. We performed a content analysis of Press Ganey patient experience surveys from adult patients at 17 primary care sites of a large, public healthcare system with visits from April 30, 2020 to August 27, 2021.

Introduction With the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to serve as the primary source of glaucoma information to patients, it is essential to characterize the information that chatbots provide such that providers can tailor discussions, anticipate patient concerns, and identify misleading information. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate glaucoma information from AI chatbots, including ChatGPT-4, Bard, and Bing, by analyzing response accuracy, comprehensiveness, readability, word count, and character count in comparison to each other and glaucoma-related American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) patient materials. Methods Section headers from AAO glaucoma-related patient education brochures were adapted into question form and asked five times to each AI chatbot (ChatGPT-4, Bard, and Bing).
