Background Since the outbreak of COVID-19, development dashboards as dynamic, visual tools for communicating COVID-19 data has surged worldwide. Dashboards can inform decision-making and support behavior change. To do so, they must be actionable. The features that constitute an actionable dashboard in context pandemic have not been rigorously assessed. Objective aim this study is to explore characteristics public web-based by assessing their purpose users (“why”), content (“what”), analyses...
In six randomized online experiments with 2,647 medical doctors we test whether – depending on the choice architecture physicians engaged in prescribing decisions public organizations fall prey to systematic error (i.e. bias) and make significantly different choices when faced same clinical case level noise). Results show that experts tend irrational are influenced by outgroup bias, social comparison, past behaviour, confirmation loss aversion, equivalence framing, asymmetric dominance. We...
Public web-based COVID-19 dashboards are in use worldwide to communicate pandemic-related information. Actionability of dashboards, as a predictor their potential for data-driven decision-making, was assessed global study during the early stages pandemic. It revealed widespread lack features needed support actionability. In view inherently dynamic nature and unprecedented speed creation, evolution changes actionability merit exploration.
Abstract Background The clinical significance of extreme hyperferritinaemia has come under scrutiny with the increasing recognition haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ( HLH ) in adults. Most studies have focused on serum ferritin greater than 1000 μg/ L , often ambulatory patients. conditions associated more are poorly understood. Aims To examine 3000 acutely ill adults at a quaternary care hospital. Methods Patients V ancouver G eneral H ospital between 1 A ugust 2011 and 2012 were...
The global public health crisis of antibiotic resistance is being driven in part by over prescription antibiotics. We aimed to assess the relative weight patient expectations, clinical uncertainty, and past behaviour on hospital-based physicians' prescribing decisions.A discrete choice experiment was administered among physicians Tuscany, Italy. Respondents were asked choose which two scenarios they would be more likely prescribe antibiotics, with cases differing levels physician's...
Objectives: We evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on unplanned hospitalization rates for patients without COVID-19, including their length stay, and in-hospital mortality, overall, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, heart failure in Tuscany region Italy. Methods: carried out a population-based controlled interrupted time series study using segmented linear regression with an autoregressive error term based admissions data from all public hospitals Tuscany. The primary outcome...
Abstract Background Optimizing prescribing practices is important due to the substantial clinical and financial costs of polypharmacy an increasingly aging population. Prior research shows importance social relationships in driving behaviour. Using network analysis, we examine relationship between a physician practices’ connectedness peers their performance two German regions. Methods We first mapped practice networks using links established that share 8 or more patients; calculated...

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. We evaluated the characteristics of stable COPD patients in pulmonology clinics southern Taiwan also whether exposure to biomass fuels dusty jobs were related respiratory symptoms, airflow limitation, quality life patients. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study recruited 117 from Taiwan. The underwent spirometry administered questionnaires about their...
