Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated clinical advice is becoming more prevalent in healthcare. However, the impact of AI-generated on physicians’ decision-making underexplored. In this study, physicians received X-rays with correct diagnostic and were asked to make a diagnosis, rate advice’s quality, judge their own confidence. We manipulated whether came or without visual annotation X-rays, it was labeled as coming from an AI human radiologist. Overall, receiving annotated...
Fas receptor activation has been implicated in inflammatory responses, programmed cell death, Wallerian degeneration neural injury and the axotomy induced death of motoneurons. Recent work using transection models spinal cord (SCI) demonstrated that neutralization ligand with antibodies may promote axonal regeneration functional recovery. Moreover, recent studies from our laboratory mutant mice deficient expression Fas, show reduced enhanced behavioural recovery after SCI. The present paper...
Purpose To develop an automated triage tool to predict neurosurgical intervention for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods A provincial trauma registry was reviewed retrospectively identify TBI from 2005 2022 treated at a specialized Canadian center. Model training, validation, testing were performed using head CT scans binary reference standard patient-level labels corresponding whether the patient received intervention. Performance accuracy of model, Automated...
The lack of accessibility to medical records for both patients and clinicians has long been recognised as a barrier transparent efficient healthcare.[1][1] While electronic health record (EHR) systems help address this issue somewhat, many these are heterogeneous, demonstrate
Virtual patient care has seen incredible growth since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic. To provide greater access to safe and timely urgent care, in fall 2020, Ministry Health introduced a pilot program 14 virtual (VUC) initiatives across province Ontario. The objective this paper was describe overall design, facilitators, barriers, lessons learned during implementation seven emergency department (ED) led VUC programs Ontario, Canada.
The anticoagulated trauma patient presents a particular challenge to the critical care physician. Our understanding of these patients is defined and extrapolated by experience with on warfarin pre-injury. Today, many who would have been are now prescribed Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) class anticoagulants entirely different mechanisms action, effects routine coagulation assays approach reversal.Trauma registry data from Toronto's (Ontario, Canada) two Level 1 centres were used identify...
Objectives: To determine the compliance rate among hockey players with concussion or other head injuries who were advised by a physician about return to play. assess of play advice and incidence long-term post-concussion symptoms. Methods: A retrospective chart review, telephone questionnaire follow-up analysis income, level education professional aspirations. The study examined 40 injury treated at neurosurgical ambulatory clinic, had initial visits between 1995 2003, been seen least two...
To determine the perceptions and roles of referees about violence injury in hockey games.Questionnaire.Web-based survey.We contacted across Canada from various leagues all levels play, with majority respondents Ontario (92%).We gathered demographic information anonymously posed questions on aggression experience games.The (n = 632) indicated that is a serious concern to both players at hockey. More than 90% responded they were recipients anger (92.1%, 95% confidence interval, 90.0-94.2), 55%...
Objectives Bicycling is a popular means of transportation that sometimes associated with injury from collisions. The authors analysed national data for the USA to evaluate bicyclist deaths motor vehicle impacts. Methods conducted population-based case–control analysis road reported by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. included 1 January 2008 31 December (cases), along non-bicyclist immediately before and after death in same state (controls). Analyses also linkages auto...
Background: Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) have become an engrained component of trauma systems. In Ontario, transportation for patients is through one three ways: scene call, modified or interfacility transfer. We hypothesize that differences exist between these types transports in both patient demographics and outcomes. This study compares the characteristics transported by each methods to two level 1 centers assesses any impact on morbidity mortality. As a secondary outcome...
The PT/INR (prothrombin time/international normalized ratio) and aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) were tests developed in the early 20th century for specific unique indications. Despite this, they are often ordered together routinely. objective of this study was to determine if a multimodal intervention could reduce testing emergency department (ED). This prospective multi-pronged quality improvement at St. Michael's Hospital. initiative involved stakeholder engagement,...
KEY POINTS Canadian health systems have digitized considerably. In 2019, 86% of surveyed family physicians reported using electronic medical records (EMRs).[1][1] Digital tools for virtual care and remote patient monitoring, wearables, coordination platforms, Internet-of-things (
Radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached persons or objects create a real-time location system. There are variety of previously described use cases in healthcare that involve tagging patients, hospital
KEY POINTS Patient portals are technological innovations that allow patients electronic access to their personal health information. They have the potential transform delivery of care. Patients long had ability request own medical record, usually through an onerous
