Background: Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling, the collection of whole samples on paper, is being evaluated for its use in quantitative analysis. The aim this investigation was to evaluate impact sample hematocrit (HCT) and punch location assay bias measurement compounds with varying physicochemical properties, when a portion DBS analyzed. In addition, statistical significance factors such as compound, card type, HCT level, position were evaluated. Results: results work indicate that analysis...
It is estimated that 50–70% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are non-adherent to their recommended treatment. Non-adherent have a higher risk not reaching an optimal clinical outcome. We explored factors associated nonadherence from the patient's perspective. Four hundred and fifty-nine RA (346 (75.4%) females; mean age 63.0 ± 14.8 years) who failed attend follow-up visits in two rheumatology centres were eligible participate qualitative interview study. used this strategy identify...
The aims of this study were to develop a German version the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS), measure oral health-related quality life in pre-school-age children, and assess instrument's reliability validity.The original English ECOHIS questionnaire was translated into (ECOHIS-G) by forward-backward translation method. A total 336 children aged 0 5 years their caregivers who recruited at Department Paediatric Dentistry Vienna, Austria, participated study. completed ECOHIS-G...
Limited evidence exists for intergenerational interventions to promote health and well-being in older adults preschool children. We therefore aimed evaluate the implementation, feasibility outcome of an promotion program based on psycho-motor activity. A multicenter mixed-methods study with children as equivalent target-groups, professionals parents additional informants was conducted Austria. The included a needs assessment, pilot phase formative process evaluation subsequent rollout...
Abstract Objectives The aims of this study were to develop a German version the Child Perceptions Questionnaire for children aged 8 10 years (CPQ-G8–10), measure oral health-related quality life, and assess instrument’s reliability validity. Methods original English CPQ8–10 questionnaire was translated into (CPQ-G8–10) by forward-backward translation method. A total 409 8- 10-year-old who recruited at Department Paediatric Dentistry in Vienna, Austria, participated study. self-completed...
Objective The objective of this study was to analyse the narrative life stories children with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and their families determine how health professionals can effectively support these achieve better outcomes. Design Qualitative biographic study. Setting We invited every long-term survivor paediatric transplants at Medical University Vienna between 2008 2013 participate in Participants Nineteen patients (women: n=8, 42%) 34 family members n=22, 65%) were interviewed....
Objective Despite massive efforts, there are no diagnostic blood biomarkers for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This study investigated several candidate and the metabolic phenotype in end-stage KOA context of obesity. Design In this cross-sectional study, adult patients undergoing arthroplasty were enrolled severity was assessed using Lequesne index. Blood with an important role obesity, syndrome, or (oxidized form low-density lipoprotein [oxLDL], advanced glycation end product [AGE], soluble...
Relatively few studies have identified the means to improve quality of sex education in schools.

Transcriptions coded thematically analysed....
Value-based oral healthcare (VBOHC) has two fundamental components, the assessment of patients' dental outcomes and measurement costs to achieve those outcomes. The aim this article is describe challenges opportunities implementing patient-reported (dPROs) in clinical care at University Clinic Dentistry, Medical Vienna, Austria, determine lessons learned next steps forward VBOHC implementation.A case study determining based on an implementation process incorporate a outcome measure (dPROM)...
Oral health is related to major chronic diseases and contributes general health. health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is, therefore, an essential part well-being. Measurement OHRQoL over the lifetime requires accurate comparable outcome measures that are suitable for different age groups. The most frequently used instrument children aged 11 through 14 years Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ-11-14). authors aimed examine psychometric properties CPQ-11-14 using modern statistical...
The 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) is the most frequently used instrument to measure oral health-related quality-of-life (OHRQoL) in adults. Despite its popularity, psychometric properties have been predominantly investigated based on classical test theory while fundamental principles of measurement not fully assessed. Therefore, our aim was investigate what extent OHIP-14 meets requirments measurements.We Rasch model explore person-item-targeting, unidimensionality, local...
Several comments and recommendations called to embed better the patients' public voice in healthcare policymaking. Still, no studies captured bottom-up perspectives regarding at time of COVID-19 a micro-level range different countries. We, therefore, explored patient representatives all six World Health Organisation (WHO) regions extracted suggestions for care redesign after pandemic.We conducted semi-structured interviews with until saturation. Thematic analysis followed modified form...
Abstract Value based healthcare (VBHC) aims at improving patient outcomes while optimizing the use of hospitals’ resources among medical personnel, administrations and support services through an evidence-based, collaborative approach. In this paper, we present a blueprint for implementation VBHC in hospitals, on our experience as members European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA). The EUHA is consortium nine large hospitals Europe increasing quality efficiency care to ultimately drive...
Early dental monitoring contributes substantially to good oral health in children. However, little is known on whether children from different geographical regions and gender are equally reached with current preventive curative strategies. The aim of our study therefore was explore regional differences a population-based dataset Austrian up the age 14.We extracted first electronically available insurance data aged 14 years services within 4-year observation period Austria performed separate...
While self-reported Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptom checklists have been extensively used during the pandemic, they not sufficiently validated from a psychometric perspective. We, therefore, advanced modelling to explore construct validity and internal consistency of an online COVID-19 checklist suggested adaptations where necessary. Fit Rasch model was examined in sample 1638 Austrian citizens who completed on up 20 days lockdown. The items’ fatigue’, ‘headache’ ‘sneezing’ had...
