Background: Prior studies have suggested that misconceptions (i.e., unhelpful thoughts or cognitive errors resulting from bias) and distress (symptoms of anxiety depression) are key factors associated with variation in health, as quantified use patient-reported outcome measures. The primary purpose the present study was to identify mental-health phenotypes combinations various types distress) might help direct care test for differences magnitude activity tolerance, pain intensity,...
Background: Natural language processing (NLP) analysis of patient comments about their care can inform improvement initiatives. Objective: We used NLP to quantify sentiments and identify topics in associated with submaximal ratings experience. Methods: Using a set 1117 1-4 out 5 from commercial source, we analyzed measured by Linguistic Inquiry Word Count software themes using topic modeling. Results: In the sentiment analysis, positive were better numerical while word count, numbers,...
Mitochondria modulate inflammatory processes in various model organisms, but it is unclear how much mitochondria regulate immune responses human blood leukocytes. Here, we examine the effect of i) experimental perturbations mitochondrial respiratory chain function, and ii) baseline inter-individual variation leukocyte energy production capacity on stimulated cytokine release glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity. In a first cohort, whole from 20 healthy women men was with increasing concentrations...
Patient-reported experience measures have notable ceiling effects which can hinder efforts to learn and improve. This study tested whether an iterative (Guttman-style) satisfaction questionnaire combined with instructions intended give people agency critique us primes responses on ordinal scale reduces effects. Among the 161 subjects randomly assigned complete before or after scale, there was no difference in mean (no priming). The Guttman more normally distributed had slightly less effect...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the relative influence of mindset and fracture severity on 9-month recovery trajectories pain capability after upper extremity fractures. METHODS: Design: Secondary use longitudinal data. Setting: Single Level-1 trauma center in Oxford, United Kingdom. Patient selection: English-speaking adults with isolated proximal humerus, elbow, or distal radius managed operatively nonoperatively were included, those multiple fractures cognitive deficit excluded. Outcome measures...
Background and Objectives: Patient-reported experience measures have the potential to guide improvement in health care delivery. Many patient-reported are limited by presence of strong ceiling effects that limit their analytical utility. Methods: We used natural language processing develop 2 new methods evaluating patient using text comments associated ordinal categorical ratings willingness recommend from 1390 patients receiving specialty or nonspecialty at our offices. One method...
Cannabis use is common in young adulthood, yet little known about the prevalence and patterns of multi-modal (i.e., more than one mode) cannabis use.
Background:Evidence suggests that health literacy, perceived availability of information and guidance to adapt challenges (informational support), symptoms depression all have the potential mediate or moderate relationship between patient-rated involvement in decisions satisfaction with care. If so these could be useful targets for improving patient experience. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 130 new adult patients visiting an orthopedic surgeon over a 4-month period. All were asked...
Introduction Sugar-sweetened beverage and caffeinated consumption are associated with a variety of health issues among youth. Food marketing has been shown to affect youth’s preferences, purchases, marketed products. Previous research suggests that outdoor food differs by community demographics, more advertisements in lower-income communities near schools. The purpose this study is examine the density sugar-sweetened schools school type (middle vs. high school) school-level SES. Methods Data...
We examined if areas around schools with more students of lower socioeconomic status (SES) have total food/beverage advertisements and/or poorer nutritional content as compared to fewer SES. All outdoor within a half-mile radius 47 middle and high in the United States were objectively documented 2012 coded for content. The number macronutrient micronutrient contents (total calories, fat (g), protein carbohydrate sugar sodium (mg)) food beverage items depicted calculated. In total, 9132...
