Secondary use of clinical data is an increasing application that is affected by the data quality (DQ) of its source systems. Techniques such as audits and risk-based monitoring for controlling DQ often rely on source data verification (SDV). SDV requires access to data generating systems. We present an approach to a targeted SDV based on manual input and synthetic data that is applicable in low resource settings with restricted system access. We deployed the protocol in the DQ management of the AKTIN Emergency Department Data Registry. Our targeted approach has shown to be feasible to form a DQ baseline that can be used for different DQ monitoring processes such as the identification of different error sources.

Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool in medical imaging, particularly for corneal topographic map classification. However, the scarcity of labeled data poses a significant challenge to achieving robust performance. This study investigates the impact of various data augmentation strategies on enhancing the performance of a customized convolutional neural network model for corneal topographic map classification.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.

Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).

The Canadian Genomics Research and Development Initiative for Antimicrobial Resistance (GRDI-AMR) uses a genomics-based approach to understand how health care, food production and the environment contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. Integrating genomics contextual data streams across the One Health continuum is challenging because of the diversity in data scope, content and structure. To better enable data harmonization for analyses, a contextual data standard was developed.

Background: The underreporting of vital statistics poses a problem for the quality of information. To address underreporting, Mexico implemented the "Intentional Search for Children Deaths" in 2002.

Objective: To analyze trends in the underreporting of deaths in neonates and children under 5 years of age (U5) from 1992 to 2022 at the national level and by state.

Context: Prebiotics are often added to infant formulas to mimic the benefits of oligosaccharides found in human milk.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of prebiotic-supplemented cow's milk-based formula on the gut microbiota, gut environment, growth parameters, and safety and tolerance in infants ≤6 months old, compared with a standard formula or human milk comparator.

Data Sources: Searches were performed in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses databases.
