Systematic reviews (SRs) are hindered by the initial rigorous article screen, which delays access to reliable information synthesis. To develop generic prompt templates for large language model (LLM)-driven abstract and full-text screening that can be adapted different reviews. Diagnostic test accuracy. 48 425 citations were tested across 10 SRs. Full-text evaluated all 12 690 freely available articles from original search. Prompt development used GPT4-0125-preview (OpenAI). None. Large...
Abstract Systematic reviews (SRs) are the highest standard of evidence, shaping clinical practice guidelines, policy decisions, and research priorities. However, their labor-intensive nature, including an initial rigorous article screen by at least two investigators, delays access to reliable information synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) with intentional prompting can match human screening performance. We introduce Framework Chain-of-Thought, a novel approach...
Background In Southeast Asia from 2004 to 2006, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) resulted in culling 45 million birds and jeopardizing sustainable agricultural production. HPAI is virulent; small‐scale farms present a high‐risk environment for disease transmission between animals humans. We investigated how attitudes toward influence water‐related biosecurity mitigation behaviors on Vietnam using the conceptual framework Social Cognitive Theory. Method analyzed secondary...
In addition to diarrheal disease risk, lack of access safe water may have other indirect effects throughout one's life, such as school and workplace absenteeism, leading less economic productivity. contexts with scarce resources unsafe drinking water, household treatment storage options the Biosand filter (BSF) allows households directly reduce contamination increase quality their water. This study aimed develop an understanding perceived community acceptability feasibility related pre-...
BackgroundAn outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) between 2004 and 2006 resulted in the culling 45 million birds, has jeopardised sustainable agricultural production southeast Asia. HPAI is virulent, small-scale farms present a high-risk environment for disease transmission animals humans. The purpose this study was to investigate how attitudes towards influence biosecurity mitigation behaviours such as water source management sanitation on Vietnam.MethodsWe used...
The WHO Unity Studies initiative engaged low- and middle-income countries in the implementation of standardized SARS-CoV-2 sero-epidemiological investigation protocols timely sharing comparable results for evidence-based action. To gain a deeper understanding methodological challenges faced when conducting seroprevalence studies Africa region, we conducted unstructured interviews with key study teams five countries. We discuss identified: participant recruitment retention, sample frame, data...
Abstract Background Complete reporting of seroepidemiologic studies (e.g. sampling and measurement methods, immunoassay characteristics) are critical to their interpretation, comparison, utility in evidence synthesis. The Reporting Seroepidemiologic studies—SARS_JCoV_J2 (ROSES-S) guideline is a checklist that aims improve the quality transparency SARS-CoV-2 seroepidemiological studies. While synthesis played crucial role public health decision-making during COVID-19 pandemic, adherence...

Danger perception and the built environment are associated with injury risk in adult bicyclists, but limited research exists related to child bicyclists. Our pilot study describes bicyclist perspectives on safety environment. Participants were children who came Alberta Children's Hospital emergency department a bicycling sustained public property. Research team members interviewed participants about their circumstances (n=26). This is based thematic analysis of responses open-ended interview...
