Clinical decision support (CDS) implemented as part of an electronic medical record (EMR) has a well-documented history of improving patient safety and quality of care; however, the difficulties of keeping CDS up to date have also been documented. At Partners HealthCare, we initially implemented CDS reminders in our 'homegrown' EMR system as 'hardcoded' rules. The challenges of updating existing rules and implementing new rules in the hard-coded state, however, soon made this model unsustainable. After evaluating our needs and requirements for rule creation and maintenance, we designed and created a browser-based rule editor that would decrease turnaround time for logic changes, allowing us to respond to CDS requests more efficiently. We have been able to maintain the older reminder rules with the rule editor, and have added a number of new reminders. Our work to date has confirmed the strengths of the editor, but has also identified a few limitations.

Hepatic adverse events associated with ketamine and esketamine: A population-based disproportionality analysis.
J Affect Disord
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:
Background And Objective: To determine whether there is disproportionate reporting of hepatobiliary disorders in the United States (US) FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for individuals prescribed ketamine or esketamine.
Design: We identified Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) terms in the FAERS related to hepatobiliary disorders.
Main Measures: Formulations of ketamine and esketamine were evaluated for the proportionality of reporting for each hepatobiliary disorder parameter using the reporting odds ratio (ROR).
Efficient evidence selection for systematic reviews in traditional Chinese medicine.

School of Management, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China.
Purpose: The process of searching for and selecting clinical evidence for systematic reviews (SRs) or clinical guidelines is essential for researchers in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, this process is often time-consuming and resource-intensive. In this study, we introduce a novel precision-preferred comprehensive information extraction and selection procedure to enhance both the efficiency and accuracy of evidence selection for TCM practitioners.

Commutability is where the measurement response for a reference material (RM) is the same as for an individual patient sample with the same concentration of analyte measured using two or more measurement systems. Assessment of commutability is essential when the RM is used in a calibration hierarchy or to ensure that clinical measurements are comparable across different measurement procedures and at different times. The commutability of three new Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for determining serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], defined as the sum of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], was assessed through an interlaboratory study.

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a powerful tool to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD). In the last decade, myocardial perfusion CT (CTP) technique has been developed for the evaluation of myocardial ischemia, thereby increasing positive predictive value for diagnosis of obstructive CAD. A diagnostic strategy combining CCTA and perfusion acquisitions provides both anatomical coronary evaluation and functional evaluation of the stenosis, increasing the specificity and the positive predictive value of cardiac CT.
