Introduction Long-term care (LTC) residents require extensive assistance with daily activities due to physical and cognitive impairments. Medical treatment for LTC residents, when not aligned residents’ wishes, can cause discomfort without providing substantial benefits. Predictive models equip providers tools guide recommendations that support person-centred medical decision-making. This study protocol describes the derivation validation of time-to-event predictive (1) permanent loss...
Introduction Long-term care (LTC) residents are frequently transferred to acute hospitals. Transfer decisions should align with residents’ wishes and goals. Decision transfer hospital, when not aligned the resident’s wishes, can result in transfers that harmful residents, leaving a state of disability could be considered worse than death. We aim examine whether an hospital is associated subsequent new onset severe permanent physical cognitive LTC residents. Method analysis will conduct...
Importance Care decisions for long-term care (LTC) residents should be frailty-informed to maximize well-being and avoid burdensome treatments that do not align with patient wishes. Objective To investigate the incidence time spent living severe impairment among LTC help inform person-centered decision-making. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study was conducted a population-based of incident admissions facilities between April 1, 2013, March 31, 2018, determined using...
Older adults face several challenges when accessing specialist care. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) can perform an important role in primary care for older adults, particularly bolstered with digital tools. In the current study, we conducted a multiple case study of electronic consultations (eConsults) involving APNs to assess how these practitioners use service improve access All eConsults submitted by or APN 2019 on behalf patients aged ≥65 years were reviewed identify examples from six...
Social interactions are typically impaired in neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism, for which the genetic underpinnings very complex. can be modeled by analysis of behaviors, including social spacing, sociability, and aggression, simpler organisms Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we examined effects mutants autism-related gene neuroligin 3 (nlg3) on fly non-social behaviors. Startled-induced negative geotaxis is affected a loss function nlg3 mutation. space aggression also altered sex-...
Abstract Background Frailty is a complex condition that primary care providers (PCPs) are managing in increasing numbers, yet there no clear guidance or training for frailty care. Objectives The present study examined eConsult questions PCPs asked specialists about patients with frailty, the specialists’ responses, and impact of on these patients. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting ChamplainBASE™ located Eastern Ontario, Canada. Participants Sixty one cases closed by 2019...
Background Conducting clinical trials for traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) presents challenges due to patient heterogeneity. Identifying clinically similar subgroups using demographics and baseline characteristics could lead better patient-centered care integrated delivery. Purpose We sought (1) apply an unsupervised machine learning approach of cluster analysis identify tSCI patients at baseline, (2) find similarity within etiological variables outcome variables, (3) create...
Abstract Aims and Objectives To describe characteristics of service utilization by advanced practice nurses (APNs) employing an electronic consultation (eConsult) in their care for older adults. Background Canada's aging population is projected to place unprecedented demands on the healthcare system. APNs, which include clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) practitioners (NPs), are with knowledge who can independently provide age‐appropriate care. eConsult a secure web‐based platform enabling...
<h3>Context:</h3> Dementia affects nearly half a million Canadians. Though dementia can be managed in primary care, the complexity of condition and high prevalence multimorbidity often require advice from variety specialists. Travel to see consultants disorienting difficult for persons living with (PLWD). eConsult is secure web-based platform that may make communication specialists more accessible care providers (PCPs). <h3>Objective:</h3> To examine how being used PLWD. <h3>Study Design...
<h3>Context</h3> Proactive detection of dementia cases facilitates research for potential interventions, informs the caregivers and prognosis. Primary care providers (PCP) formulate questions to specialist through eConsult online system. <h3>Objective</h3> The XAI paradigm Natural Language Processing (NLP) helps detect whether instance is a case, plus it provides with associated topics that were otherwise latent in text. <h3>Study Design Analysis</h3> We used data transformations such as...
<h3>Context:</h3> Home care is a cost-effective solution for patients with dementia. There an important need to strengthen formal home systems meet the increasing prevalence of dementia in Canada. <h3>Objective:</h3> This study aims describe utilization patterns Canadians aged 50 and older compared those without. further seeks understand impact geography (rural, small population centre (PC), medium PC, large PC) on among <h3>Study design analysis:</h3> used cross-sectional design.
