Background Digital health technologies can be key to improving outcomes, provided care workers are adequately trained use these technologies. There have been efforts identify digital competencies for different worker groups; however, an overview of has yet consolidated and analyzed. Objective The review aims study existing competency frameworks provide recommendations future training initiatives framework development. Methods A literature search was performed collate published from 2000....
Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a condition affecting occupants of from which they may experience series non-specific symptoms being in that building. We aimed to (1) estimate the prevalence SBS (2), assess association between perceived indoor environmental quality (IEQ) aboveground and underground workspaces, what extent workspace location modifies these associations. A total 329 workers workspaces were followed-up three assessments for 12 months Singapore. Data on socio-demographic...
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is a general indicator of the conditions inside building. We investigated associations perceived IEQ including air quality, thermal comfort, noise, and light with stress at work extent to which workplace location modifies these associations. recruited 464 full-time workers from four companies in Singapore. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle/health-related factors, factors were collected through self-administered questionnaires. Perceived...
Little is known about the effect of working conditions on vitamin D status in Southeast Asia, where deficiency common despite presence sunlight all year round most places. We examined prevalence and its associated work-related factors among indoor workers using data 213 participants (aged ≥21 years) from a workplace cohort study Singapore. Vitamin was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) concentration <50 nmol/L. Data factors, socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits...
Background We aimed to examine the association between shift work and sleep quality in a diverse occupational type. Methods This was cross-sectional study of self-reported 424 workers aged ≥21 using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). divided into two categories based on their PSQI score: (a) ≤5 (good quality) (b) >5 (poor quality). used multiple logistic regressions assess adjusted for potential confounders. Results The mean age 39.2 (SD = 11.3) years, with being older than counterparts....
The development of underground workspaces is a strategic effort towards healthy urban growth in cities with ever-increasing land scarcity. Despite the workspaces, there limited information regarding impact this environment on workers' health. Health Effects Underground Workspaces (HEUW) study cohort that was set up to examine health effects working workspaces. In paper, we describe rationale for study, design, data collection, and baseline characteristics participants. HEUW recruited 464...
Healthcare costs arising from venous leg ulcers (VLU) are expected to increase due an aging population and increased prevalence of comorbidities. We aim estimate the healthcare resources incurred by VLU patients, quantify extent which predictors explain variation in cost-related outcomes. Retrospective patient-level cohort data for patients were analysed using generalised linear regression models. Data extracted a tertiary hospital registry Singapore, between 2013 2017. The outcome variables...
This study aimed to evaluate the determinants of health-related quality life (HRQoL) among workers in Singapore.We analysed data from a cross-sectional 464 participants 4 companies Singapore. Physical and mental components HRQoL were assessed using Short-Form 36 version 2.0 survey. A generalized linear model was used determine factors associated with physical component summary (PCS) (MCS) scores HRQoL.The overall mean PCS MCS mean±standard deviation 51.6±6.7 50.2±7.7, respectively. The for...
Abstract A majority of lower extremities neuro‐ischaemic wounds (NIU) are related to: (a) only diabetes (DM); (b) peripheral artery disease (PAD); (c) co‐existing and (DM‐PAD). This study aims to characterise the major clinical outcomes forementioned three groups extremity wound patients in Singapore. Patients hospitalised for NIU between January 2014 October 2017 a tertiary hospital Singapore were analysed. Patients' limb amputation mortality assessed using Cox regression models. Cumulative...
We aimed to examine the behavioural and clinical risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) at baseline their changes over 12 months in a workplace cohort Singapore. A total of 464 full-time employees (age ≥ 21 years) were recruited from variety occupational settings, including offices, control rooms, workshops. Of these, 424 (91.4%) followed-up three 334 (72.0%) followed up months. Standardized questionnaires used collect data on health behaviours measurements performed by trained...
To compare the prevalence of and risk factors associated with overweight or obesity between international (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m 2 ) Asian (BMI ≥23 criteria in a working population Singapore. This was cross-sectional analysis cohort study 464 employees (aged ≥21 years) conducted at 4 workplaces The 47.4% 67.0% criteria, respectively. With both higher age, male sex, Malay ethnicity (vs Chinese), lower white rice intake, consumption sugar-sweetened beverages were positively obesity....
The economic burden of neuro-ischaemic ulcers (NIU) is expected to increase because rising prevalence comorbidities in an aging population. We aim estimate healthcare resources consumed by NIU patients, and quantify the extent which factors explain variation cost-related outcomes. analysed retrospective patient-level cohort data for patients from a tertiary hospital registry Singapore, 2013 2017, using generalised linear regression models. outcome variables were length stay per admission;...
We used a multi-state model, which mitigates time-dependent bias, to estimate the mortality, length of stay (LOS), and costs methicillin-resistant
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests with negligible chance of survival are routinely transported to hospital and many pronounced dead thereafter. This leads some potentially avoidable costs. The 'Termination Resuscitation' protocol allows paramedics terminate resuscitation efforts onsite for medically futile cases. study estimates the changes in frequency costly events that might occur when is applied out-of-hospital arrests, as compared existing practice.We used Singapore data from Pan-Asian...
