Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of artificial intelligence to detect transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
- Researchers analyzed a variety of data including clinical, lab, and imaging results to develop machine learning models for detection and outcome prediction.
- Results showed that while echocardiography and 4D-CT-strain had good to high detection performances, the multi-modality model incorporating various data types did not significantly outperform the 4D-CT-strain model alone.
Aims: To identify facilitators and barriers and tailor implementation strategies to optimize emergency clinician's use of adult and paediatric sepsis pathways.
Design: A qualitative descriptive study using focus group methodology.
Methods: Twenty-two emergency nurses and ten emergency medical officers from four Australian EDs participated in eight virtual focus groups.
Aim: To determine the impact implementation of Emergency Department Clinical Emergency Response System (EDCERS) on inpatient deterioration events and identify contributing causal factors.
Methods: EDCERS was implemented in an Australian regional hospital, integrating a single parameter track and trigger criteria for escalation of care, and emergency, specialty and critical care clinician response to patient deterioration. In this controlled pre-post study, electronic medical records of patients who experienced a deterioration event (rapid response call, cardiac arrest or unplanned intensive care admission) on the ward within 72 h of admission from the emergency department (ED) were reviewed.
