Purpose: This study investigated the association between intern doctors' performance as assessed by their peers and their academic performance in medical school.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted with 21 graduates from a South Korean medical school who interned at an affiliated center. Participants underwent bi-annual peer evaluation for intern performance evaluations using a 5-point Likert scale on professionalism, clinical competencies, and interpersonal skills. Associations between peer ratings and grade point average (GPA), exit assessment scores, and Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE) scores were analyzed.
Results: Peer ratings showed moderate to strong positive associations with exit assessments and KMLE scores, but no relationship with cumulative GPAs. Peer ratings correlated more strongly with objective structured clinical examinations than written tests.
Conclusion: Medical students' outcomes in exit assessments and KMLEs, especially clinical performance tests, are strong predictors of their performance as intern doctors. These findings highlight the value of clinical performance assessments for predicting intern doctors' performance and suggest the need for more comprehensive and authentic assessment methods to enhance their predictive validity.

Scand J Work Environ Health
March 2025
Department of Occupational Medicine, Danish Ramazzini Center, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to identify, evaluate, and synthesize the relation between ten potential occupational sensitizing exposure groups and asthma.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in three databases for peer-reviewed articles published between July 2011 and March 2023. Exposures included ten potential occupational sensitizing exposure groups (amines, anhydrides, biocides [eg, pesticides], crustaceans, enzymes, mammals, metals, "mold, fungi and yeast", molluscs, and other chemicals [eg, cleaning agents]) classified as having no or limited evidence of a causal relation with asthma in our previous overview of systematic reviews.
Identifying Food Preferences and Malnutrition in Older Adults in Care Homes: Co-Design Study of a Digital Nutrition Assessment Tool.
JMIR Aging
March 2025
Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom.
Background: Malnutrition is a challenge among older adults and can result in serious health consequences. However, the dietary intake monitoring needed to identify malnutrition for early intervention is affected by issues such as difficulty remembering or needing a dietitian to interpret the results.
Objective: This study aims to co-design a tool using automated food classification to monitor dietary intake and food preferences, as well as food-related symptoms and mood and hunger ratings, for use in care homes.
Applying AI in the Context of the Association Between Device-Based Assessment of Physical Activity and Mental Health: Systematic Review.

Mental mHealth Lab, Institute of Sports and Sports Science, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany.
Background: Wearable technology is used by consumers worldwide for continuous activity monitoring in daily life but more recently also for classifying or predicting mental health parameters like stress or depression levels. Previous studies identified, based on traditional approaches, that physical activity is a relevant factor in the prevention or management of mental health. However, upcoming artificial intelligence methods have not yet been fully established in the research field of physical activity and mental health.
