Abstract BACKGROUND We evaluated the completeness of reporting diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) systematic reviews using recently developed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA)-DTA guidelines. METHODS MEDLINE® was searched DTA published October 2017 to January 2018. The search time span modulated reach desired sample size 100 reviews. on a per-item basis PRISMA-DTA evaluated. RESULTS One hundred were included. Mean reported items 18.6 26 (71%; SD = 1.9)...
Background Recent investigations have identified a faster time to publication for imaging studies with higher diagnostic test accuracy (DTA), but it is unknown whether such are more likely be published. A probability of full-text DTA could negative consequences on clinical decision making and patient care. Purpose To evaluate the proportion presented as conference abstracts that reach identify there an association between in peer-reviewed journals within 5 years after abstract submission....
Background Competency‐based medical education ( CBME ) is becoming widely implemented in education. Trainees’ perceptions of are important factors the implementation and acceptance . Online discussion groups allow unique insight into trainees’ during residency training. Methods We analysed 867 posts from 20 threads Premed 101 (Canadian) 2756 50 Student Doctor Network SDN (American) using NVivo 11 Inductive content analysis was used to develop a data‐driven coding scheme that evolved...

Purpose: Canadian resident physicians carry large debt to finance their education, which impacts wellness and future decision making. The objective of this observational study is assess the financial literacy radiology residents through testing knowledge examining current status. Methods: A survey was designed status residents, distributed via Google Forms. Descriptive analyses on preliminary data association between level training quiz scores were obtained. Results: 104 valid responses from...
Systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA)4 studies can help to clarify the clinical performance laboratory tests. Such hold a high position within hierarchy evidence, are published more frequently, and often highly cited. Yet, poorly reported systematic may prevent readers from assessing quality included primary studies, extent literature searched, applicability results questions. Reporting guidelines have been developed support transparent complete descriptions research,...
Preferential publication of studies with positive findings can lead to overestimation diagnostic test accuracy (i.e. bias). Understanding the contribution editorial process bias could inform interventions optimize evidence guiding clinical decisions.To evaluate whether estimates, abstract conclusion positivity, and completeness reporting are associated acceptance radiology conferences journals.Meta-research.Abstracts submitted (European Society Gastrointestinal Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR)...
Introduction: Agammaglobulinemia is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by absent B cells and originates from X-linked or autosomal mutations affecting cell maturation. While the most common agammaglobulinemia X-linked, one well-documented site of recessive within immunoglobulin μ heavy chain protein, encoded IGHM gene. Such variants frequently result in clinical presentations recurrent bacterial infections early life. Aim: To describe case five-year-old female with resulting novel...
Abstract Background We evaluated reporting of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) systematic reviews using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-DTA PRISMA-DTA abstracts. Methods searched MEDLINE recent DTA (September 2023–Mar 2024) to achieve a sample size 100. Analyses adherence (and abstracts), on per-item basis. Association with journal, country, impact factor (IF), index-test type, subspecialty area, use supplemental material, PRISMA citation, word...
To examine if tweeting bias exists within imaging literature by determining diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies with positive titles or conclusions are tweeted more than non-positive studies.DTA published between October 2011 to April 2016 were included. Positivity of and assessed independently in duplicate, disagreements resolved consensus. A negative binomial regression analysis controlling for confounding variables was performed assess the relationship title conclusion positivity...
Introduction: Hyper IgM (HIGM) syndrome is an inborn error of immunity (IEI) that occurs due to defects in immunoglobulin class switch recombination (Ig-CSR). HIGM typically presents with recurrent infections early childhood, and often characterized on investigation decreased IgG, IgA, IgE titres, alongside normal or elevated IgM. A common cause a disruption the CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) interaction triggers Ig-CSR, which variants CD40 are much rarer than those CD40L. We present case...
Objective Resident duty hour (RDH) restrictions in postgraduate medical education is a controversial yet important topic for study. There limited literature on authentic trainee perceptions surrounding RDH to inform evaluation and future planning. Online forums are widely accessible, underused resource, insight into perceptions. Our objective was qualitatively assess of online discussion forums. Setting forums; Premed101 (Canadian forum) Student Doctor Network (SDN) (American forum)....
Abstract Introduction: Resident physicians throughout Canada carry large debt to finance their education. The literature suggests that and money management both play a role in day-to-day life decisions deciding the future of physicians. objective this observational study is assess financial literacy Canadian radiology residents through testing knowledge obtaining an understanding wellness. Methods: A survey was designed current status residents. After pilot run ensure robustness, distributed...
