Objective: Although clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have many benefits for clinical practice, they also have several barriers to their acceptance by professionals. Our objective in this study was to design and validate The palliative care (PC) CDSS through a user-centred method, considering the predictions of the artificial intelligence (AI) core, usability and user experience (UX).

Methods: We performed two rounds of individual evaluation sessions with potential users. Each session included a model evaluation, a task test and a usability and UX assessment.

Results: The machine learning (ML) predictive models outperformed the participants in the three predictive tasks. System Usability Scale (SUS) reported 62.7  ±  14.1 and 65  ±  26.2 on a 100-point rating scale for both rounds, respectively, while User Experience Questionnaire - Short Version (UEQ-S) scores were 1.42 and 1.5 on the -3 to 3 scale.

Conclusions: The think-aloud method and including the UX dimension helped us to identify most of the workflow implementation issues. The system has good UX hedonic qualities; participants were interested in the tool and responded positively to it. Performance regarding usability was modest but acceptable.

Physicians could improve the efficiency of the healthcare system if a reliable resource were available to aid them in better understanding, selecting, and interpreting the diagnostic laboratory tests. It has been well established and widely recognized that (a) laboratory testing provides 70-85% of the objective data that physicians use in diagnosis and treatment of their patients, (b) orders for laboratory tests in the U.S.

Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogenous autoimmune disorder diagnosed by excluding other conditions. Misdiagnosis of primary ITP occurs in patients with inherited thrombocytopenia and primary immunodeficiency syndromes. This study investigates whether genetic testing for inherited thrombocytopenia or primary immunodeficiency can enhance diagnostic accuracy in ITP, and guide treatment strategies.

Background: Spinal immobilization, a widely used trauma prehospital intervention, is known to cause discomfort, yet little is known about interventions to reduce this discomfort.

Objective: This scoping review aims to evaluate prehospital interventions to reduce discomfort from spinal immobilization in adult trauma patients.

Method: This scoping review assessed prehospital pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions to address discomfort from spinal immobilization in adult trauma patients.

Fluctuation-related pain (FRP) affects more than one third of people with Parkinson's disease (PwP, PD) and has a harmful effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but often remains under-reported by patients and neglected by clinicians. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends The Parkinson KinetiGraphTM (the PKGTM) for remote monitoring of motor symptoms. We investigated potential links between the PKGTM-obtained parameters and clinical rating scores for FRP in PwP in an exploratory, cross-sectional analysis of two prospective studies: "The Non-motor International Longitudinal, Real-Life Study in PD-NILS" and "An observational-based registry of baseline PKG™ in PD-PKGReg".
