Health-Significant Quality of Life Measure (Health-SigQOLM) provides a generic and dynamic assessment Health-related quality life (HRQOL). This study aims to assess the HRQOL among healthy non-healthy participants with varying chronic diseases. Comparisons between revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) in mean overall score as well across all its nine domains. Therefore, Health-SigQOLM, along domains, is demonstrated have adequate sensitivity distinguishing participants....
Chronic diseases are known to detrimentally impact an individual's quality of life (QOL) and well-being. Therefore, this study aims evaluate the QOL overall well-being among both healthy individuals those with diverse primary diagnoses. This is a cross-sectional data collection took place from May 2022 2023. Information regarding participants was gathered healthcare workers without any comorbidities. Data for non-healthy were collected diagnosed various conditions across four specialist...
Background and aimDespite a growing body of evidence from Western populations on the health benefits Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diets, their applicability in South East Asian settings is not clear. We examined cross-sectional associations between DASH diet cardio-metabolic risk factors among 1837 Malaysian 2898 Philippines participants multi-national cohort.Methods resultsBlood pressures, fasting lipid profile glucose were measured, score was computed based 22-item food...
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is one the most important outcome measures to be assessed by medical research. This study aims develop and validate an instrument called "health-related with six domains" (HRQ-6D), which measure individual's health-related within a 24 h period time. questionnaire development involving five phases, are (i) explore subject matter content for gaining better understanding topic, (ii) questionnaire, (iii) assess both its validity face validity, (iv) conduct...
This study aims to compare the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between healthcare providers without chronic diseases and participants with presenting one four different primary diagnoses on six domains (HRQ-6D) scale.
Abstract Background Although gamification increases user engagement, its effectiveness in point-of-care ultrasonographic training has yet to be fully established. This study was conducted with the primary outcome of evaluating as compared conventional approach. Methods Participants consisting junior doctors were randomized into either (1) gamified or (2) educational approach for training. Results A total 31 participated this (16 participants arm, 15 arm after one participant from dropped out...
Quality of life (QOL) should ideally be determined by a broader spectrum measurable parameters. This study aims to develop and validate instrument that is designed determine holistic measure health non-health aspects QOL, it called the 'Significant Life Measure' (SigQOLM). involves five phases which aim (i) explore understand subject matter content, (ii) questionnaire, (iii) assess its content validity face validity, (iv) conduct pilot study, lastly (v) perform field-test using...
Abstract Objective The “Health” element is one of the elements in Significant Quality Life Measure (SigQOLM) that measures quality life and well-being people. This study aims to evaluate Health (Health-SigQOLM) as a generic dynamic scale measure health-related (HRQOL) with broader spectrum coverage. used secondary data developed SigQOLM. Only 33 items for analysis. Results construct Health-SigQOLM has minimum factor loading 0.425 excellent model fit. health status among healthcare workers...
Aims. This study aims to determine the all-cause mortality and associated risk factors for among prevalent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients within five years’ period develop a screening tool high-risk patients. Methods. is cohort of T2DM in national registry, Malaysia. Patients’ particulars were derived from database between 1st January 2009 31st December 2009. Their records matched with death record at end year 2013 status after years. The investigated, prognostic model was...
: Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is essential for empiric antibiotic prescribing, infection prevention and control policies to drive novel discovery. However, most existing systems are isolate-based without supporting patient-based clinical data, not widely implemented especially in low- middle-income countries (LMICs).
Background/Objectives: The HRQ-6D is a newly developed instrument to measure Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and EQ-5D the gold standard for measuring HRQOL. This study aims test concurrent validity between measures among patients with different primary diagnoses. Methods: cross-sectional uses two HRQOL measurement instruments, EQ-5D-3L HRQ-6D. Data collection was performed January 2023 May 2023. All necessary data this were collected from actual who presented any one four types...
Literature-based discovery (LBD) systems aim at helping researchers and scientists automatically generate test potentially worthwhile research hypotheses. This is achieved by scouring vast collections of scientific publications for novel cross-applications existing technological solutions from disparate fields. The inherent cross-disciplinary nature LBD makes it an extremely valuable tool accelerating humanitarian technology innovation through the facilitation interdisciplinary problem...
Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial chronic disease with many possible contributing factors. Performing anomaly detection on datasets collected from large epidemiological diabetes studies has the potential to unearth previously unknown factors pathogenesis of mellitus. This paper proposes novel method for detecting anomalous blood glucose trajectories individuals in longitudinal dataset. We formulate problem as discovering contextually homogeneous communities similarity graphs, which...
Abstract Introduction: The Malaysian government implemented MCO or lockdown for nearly 3 months from 18 Mar to 9 Jun 2020 in response the Covid-19 pandemic. This restricted access usual food, workplace, and leisure sports, also led reduced clinic attendance. effects of on patients with chronic lifestyle diseases like DM is unknown. Methodology: a cross-sectional study exploring adult (&gt;18 years) (both Type 1 2) attending endocrinologist-run clinics tertiary centres Malaysia. Glycaemic...
Haemoglobin (Hb) Cheverly is a rare, low oxygen affinity haemoglobinopathy. It result of point mutation at the 45 codon beta globin genes that leads to substitution phenylalanine by serine. characterised spuriously peripheral saturation with normal arterial saturation. We describe family three Hb in Sarawak General Hospital, Malaysia. was discovered through incidental finding during hospital admission for unrelated complaints. Laboratory testing revealed abnormal haemoglobin detected C...
Abstract Background: Although gamification increases user engagement, its effectiveness in point-of-care ultrasound training may yet to be fully established. This study was conducted with the primary outcome of evaluating workshop as compared conventional face-to-face learning. Methods: Participants (who were junior doctors between 2 – 4 years clinical experience) randomized into either (1) or (2) learning arms. Similar educational intervention implemented participants both arms but...
