People with diabetes may be at higher risk for acquiring infections through both glucose-dependent and biologic pathways independent of glycemic control. Our aim was to estimate the association between occurring in primary care.Using Newfoundland Labrador Sentinel Canadian Primary Care Surveillance Network, patients ≥18 years 1 January 2008 31 March 2013 were included least 1-year follow-up. We randomly matched each patient on date study entry up 8 controls without diabetes. outcome...
PurposeData science approaches personalizing pediatric appendicitis management are hampered by small datasets and unstructured electronic medical records (EMR). Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots based on large language models can structure free-text EMR data. We compare data extraction quality between ChatGPT-4 human collectors.MethodsTo train AI to grade preoperatively, several collectors extracted detailed preoperative operative from 2100 children operated for acute appendicitis....
This study evaluates the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) algorithms for improving preoperative diagnosis acute appendicitis in children, focusing on accurate prediction severity disease. An anonymized clinical and operative dataset was retrieved from medical records children undergoing emergency appendectomy between 2014 2021. We developed an ML pipeline that pre-processed to predict 5 grades (1 - non-perforated, 2 localized perforation, 3 abscess, 4 generalized peritonitis,...
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing among adults globally. Research has demonstrated that a prevention program (DPP), which focuses on developing and maintaining health-promoting lifestyle modifications, can prevent or delay the onset type 2 at-risk individuals. implementation digitally adapted DPP potential to prediabetes national global scale by using technology behavior change science.This study aimed investigate effects novel digital therapeutic (Transform) weight loss, body mass...
Abstract Aim To examine the patient characteristics associated with early initiation of insulin after a diagnosis Type 2 diabetes. Methods We analysed cross‐sectional data from 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey conducted by Statistics Canada. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore association between sociodemographic and health status initiating within 1 year diabetes (early use). Results Weighted estimates for population showed that 32% patients initiated their diagnosis....
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often nonadherent medications and have poor inhaler technique. Community pharmacists can help to improve health-related quality of life overall outcomes in patients COPD. We aim measure the effectiveness a systematic, pharmacist-driven intervention on diagnosed COPD.This pragmatic, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial is designed determine multifactorial, pharmacist-led medication adherence, technique, life, health...
Background: The prevalence and mortality rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasing worldwide. Therefore, COPD remains a major public health problem. There is growing interest in the use smartphone technology for promotion management interventions. However, effectiveness smartphones reducing number patients having exacerbation poorly understood.
<title>Abstract</title> Background Assessing the impact of cannabis on cognitive and physical performance is imperative, especially in safety-sensitive environments. This study investigated degree duration impairment after consumption. Methods Fourteen users were subjected to testing before smoking cannabis. Tests included assessment intoxication, vital signs, psychomotor abilities, muscle function. Blood, urine saliva analyzed for Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Carboxy-THC at baseline,...
Abstract Purpose Data science approaches personalizing pediatric appendicitis management are hampered by small datasets and unstructured electronic medical records (EMR). Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots based on large language models (LLMs) can structure free-text EMR data. Here we compare data extraction quality between ChatGPT-4 human collectors. Methods To train AI to grade preoperatively, several collectors (medical students research assistants) extracted detailed preoperative...
The majority of medications used in treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are taken through metered-dose inhalers (MDIs). Studies have reported that most patients demonstrate poor inhaler technique, which has resulted control. Digital Health applications the potential to improve technique adherence inhaled medications.
