Identifying Optimal Wearable Devices for Monitoring Mobility in Hospitalized Older Adults: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Validity Study

Identifying Optimal Wearable Devices for Monitoring Mobility in Hospitalized Older Adults: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Validity Study

Instead, they may arise from certain hospital practices, such as restricted physical activity and immobilization, which may be harmful for older patients, especially for those who are frail [1]. Studies have consistently shown that older patients spend a minimal amount of time standing or walking during their hospital stay, typically just 3% of the time [4-7].

Mono-Professional Simulation-Based Obstetric Training in a Low-Resource Setting: Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

Mono-Professional Simulation-Based Obstetric Training in a Low-Resource Setting: Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial

A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial was conducted from October 2014 until March 2016 at the medium- to high-risk labor ward at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Uganda. This hospital also functions as the main teaching facility for Makerere University College of Medicine and Health Sciences. During this study’s period, over 23,000 women gave birth annually at the medium to high-risk labor ward.

Pharmaceutical Analysis of Inpatient Prescriptions: Systematic Observation of Hospital Pharmacists’ Practices in the Early User-Centered Design Phase

Pharmaceutical Analysis of Inpatient Prescriptions: Systematic Observation of Hospital Pharmacists’ Practices in the Early User-Centered Design Phase

Out of this chaos came the interest in clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) to help clinicians make informed decisions and to derive full benefit from hospital information systems [9]. In particular, medication-related CDSSs have the greatest potential to benefit patient care and reduce drug-induced iatrogeny [10-12]. Hospital pharmacists are key users of CDSSs.

A Smartphone App Self-Management Program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial of Clinical Outcomes

A Smartphone App Self-Management Program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial of Clinical Outcomes

The proportion of participants in each arm that experienced exacerbations in the hospital and GP setting is reported in Table 3. There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of participants who had a COPD exacerbation versus those who did not have an exacerbation at 6 months in the hospital setting across the three arms, P=.03 (Table 3).

Improving Health and Well-Being of People With Post–COVID-19 Consequences in South Africa: Situation Analysis and Pilot Intervention Design

We conducted this study at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH) and Tembisa Provincial Tertiary Hospital (Tembisa), Johannesburg, South Africa. These health care facilities are located in townships in the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni districts and cater to the general population. They are public health care facilities funded by the Gauteng Department of Health.

A Risk Prediction Model (CMC-AKIX) for Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury Using Machine Learning: Algorithm Development and Validation

A Risk Prediction Model (CMC-AKIX) for Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury Using Machine Learning: Algorithm Development and Validation

This condition not only escalates morbidity but also substantially increases in-hospital mortality by approximately 3- to 9-fold [2]. The severity of this risk is further underscored in patients who developed postoperative AKI after intraabdominal surgery, as a large-scale study reported a 15-fold higher risk of mortality in patients with AKI compared to those without AKI [3].

Patient Experiences With a Mobile Self-Care Solution for Low-Complex Orthopedic Injuries: Mixed Methods Study

Patient Experiences With a Mobile Self-Care Solution for Low-Complex Orthopedic Injuries: Mixed Methods Study

The Dutch acute health care system faces substantial challenges due to limited resources and a rising number of patients requiring in-hospital care [1,2]. To alleviate this pressure, virtual fracture clinics have been introduced for Orthopedic and Trauma surgery patients [3]. Direct discharge (DD) is the most basic part of a virtual fracture clinic, concerning solely low-complex, isolated, stable musculoskeletal injuries.

Effects and Acceptability of a 1-Week Home-Based Virtual Reality Training for Supporting the Management of Stress and Anxiety: Randomized Pilot Trial

Effects and Acceptability of a 1-Week Home-Based Virtual Reality Training for Supporting the Management of Stress and Anxiety: Randomized Pilot Trial

First, in past studies, experienced clinicians only administered VR interventions in their offices or the hospital. However, recently the introduction of standalone and mobile VR systems, due to their high ease of use and low cost, has made this technology feasible for daily use at home [35]. Therefore, home VR training represents a promising new intervention for remote psychological support [36-38], including relaxation training [39,40].
