Data capture systems that acquire continuous hospital-based electrocardiographic (ECG) and physiologic (vital signs) data can foster robust research (i.e., large sample sizes from consecutive patients). However, the application of these systems and the data generated are complex and requires careful human oversight to ensure that accurate and high quality data are procured. This technical article will describe two different data capture systems created by our research group designed to examine false alarms associated with alarm fatigue in nurses. The following aspects regarding these data capture systems will be discussed: (1) history of development; (2) summary of advantages, challenges, and important considerations; (3) their use in research; (4) their use in clinical care; and (5) future developments.

The effects of unified pooling arrangement on health inequity in China: a DID-RIF approach.

BMC Health Serv Res

January 2025

School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Beihang University, No. 37 Xueyuan Road, Beijing, 100191, China.

Background: To address the health inequity caused by decentralized management, China has introduced a provincial pooling system for urban employees' basic medical insurance. This paper proposes a research framework to evaluate similar policies in different contexts. This paper adopts a mixed-methods approach to more comprehensively and precisely capture the causal effects of the policy.

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its follow-on (GRACE-FO) missions have provided estimates of Terrestrial Water Storage Anomalies (TWSA) since 2002, enabling the monitoring of global hydrological changes. However, temporal gaps within these datasets and the lack of TWSA observations prior to 2002 limit our understanding of long-term freshwater variability. In this study, we develop GRAiCE, a set of four global monthly TWSA reconstructions from 1984 to 2021 at 0.

Patient-centred care and technical challenges during polytrauma imaging - Experiences from radiography students.

Radiography (Lond)

January 2025

Department of Radiography, School of Allied Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, University of Namibia, P.O Box 13301, Windhoek, Namibia. Electronic address:

Introduction: Patient-centred care (PCC) is essential in radiography for polytrauma patients emphasising empathy, clear communication, and patient well-being. Polytrauma patients require tailored imaging approaches, often involving multiple modalities. Managing and handling these patients during imaging are key components of radiography training to develop the necessary competencies.

Development of a Patient Reported Outcome Measure of Side Effects for Patients Taking Calcineurin Inhibitors: The FACIT-CNI-Ntx.

Am J Kidney Dis

January 2025

Department of Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, USA; Northwestern University Transplant Outcomes Research Collaborative, Comprehensive Transplant Center, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA; Centre for Patient Reported Outcomes Research, Department of Applied Health Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK.

Rationale & Objective: Valid measures of side effects are important to inform clinical use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs). This study sought to develop and establish the content validity of a PRO measure to capture side effects among kidney transplant recipients taking CNIs.

Study Design: Qualitative interviews for concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing.

Purpose: To improve the current method for MRI turbulence quantification which is the intravoxel phase dispersion (IVPD) method. Turbulence is commonly characterized by the Reynolds stress tensor (RST) which describes the velocity covariance matrix. A major source for systematic errors in MRI is the sequence's sensitivity to the variance of the derivatives of velocity, such as the acceleration variance, which can lead to a substantial measurement bias.
