AI Article Synopsis
- The study developed a self-questionnaire, called IBD-INFO, to evaluate patients' understanding of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its treatment.
- The questionnaire was validated with both non-IBD volunteers and IBD patients, showing strong reliability and consistency in scores.
- The results indicated that knowledge was generally low among IBD patients, particularly in areas like vaccination, related cancers, treatments, and pregnancy, with specific factors identified that contributed to lower knowledge scores.
Article Abstract
Background: It has been demonstrated in many chronic conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), that better patient knowledge about pathology and treatment improves the course and management of disease. The aim of this study was to develop an updated self-questionnaire to assess patients' level of knowledge of IBD.
Methods: The IBD-INFO included 3 parts: an original part (Q1) and 2 parts from the translation of the preexisting questionnaires Crohn's and Colitis Knowledge score (CCKNOW) (Q2) and Crohn's and Colitis Pregnancy Knowledge score (CCPKNOW) (Q3). The reliability and discriminatory ability of the questionnaire were validated in 3 groups of non-IBD volunteers with various theoretical knowledge levels. The final questionnaire (64 validated questions) was then tested on 364 in- and out- IBD patients from 4 French university hospitals. The score for each part of the questionnaire was calculated, and factors associated with low scores were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Results: The scores obtained by the 3 non-IBD volunteer groups differed significantly (P < 0.0001), and the IBD-INFO questionnaire showed excellent internal reliability and consistency (α = 0.98). The median total score obtained by the IBD patients was 27/64 (range, 0-59), and scores for Q1, Q2, and Q3 were, respectively, 10/23 (range, 0-21), 11/24 (range, 0-23), and 4/17 (range, 0-16). In multivariate analysis, lack of a university degree, not being a member of a patient association, not receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) treatment, duration of IBD ≤3 years, male sex, and age >38 years were independent risk factors of a poor IBD-INFO knowledge score. The areas of knowledge least mastered were vaccination, IBD-related cancers, treatments, and pregnancy.
Conclusions: Using the IBD-INFO, an updated self-administered questionnaire built to assess IBD patients' knowledge, several risk factors have been highlighted that allow better targeting of patients and areas requiring an improvement in the level of information.

All women go through menopause at some point in their lives, but because of the nature of their jobs, teachers have it harder than other female employees. This study aimed to assess middle-aged teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and quality of life-related to menopause after receiving education on health-promoting lifestyle modification. A quasi-experimental Time Series design with pre-intervention, immediate, post-intervention, and a three-month follow-up was employed in this study.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted treatment for femoral neck fractures, in comparison to traditional freehand treatment methods. Throughout the research process, we conducted an extensive literature search across numerous databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), CQVIP, and Wanfang. Based on the literature screening criteria, we selected six studies, encompassing 358 cases of femoral neck fracture patients, for this meta-analysis.

Preoperative detection of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains a great challenge in practice. We aimed to develop and validate a deep Vesical Imaging Network (ViNet) model for the detection of MIBC using high-resolution Tweighted MR imaging (hrTWI) in a multicenter cohort. ViNet was designed using a modified 3D ResNet, in which, the encoder layers were pretrained using a self-supervised foundation model on over 40,000 cross-modal imaging datasets for transfer learning, and the classification modules were weakly supervised by an experiential knowledge-domain mask indicated by a nnUNet segmentation model.
