Abstract We developed the National Institutes of Health helping to end addiction long-term initiative morphine milligram equivalent (MME) calculator standardize MME calculations across pain research studies, addressing a critical barrier effective synthesis and meta-analysis. The tool provides evidence-based mapping factors for 29 opioids through electronic data capture-based companion Web site (research-mme.wakehealth.edu). Development involved systematic evidence evaluation literature from...
Exponential scientific data growth presents challenges and opportunities for addressing 56 complex public health issues like the opioid epidemic chronic pain management.57 Despite vast amount of research conducted globally, many datasets remain 58 inaccessible or underutilized due to publication access policies stringent use 59 agreements.The generated through activities is enormous.60 Limited stifles discovery delays translation 61 proven advances into real-world applications.(1)To address...
The past two decades have witnessed a surge in the use of cervical spine joint procedures including injections, nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation to treat chronic neck pain, yet many aspects remain controversial.
To evaluate current administrative coding practices for opioid misuse within the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD) framework and develop standardized documentation recommendations. Systematic scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Analysis studies using databases, including electronic health records, insurance claims, national healthcare utilization databases. Studies published in peer-reviewed journals examining codes misuse, excluding those...
The integration of diverse clinical data sources requires standardization through models like OMOP (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership). However, mapping elements to concepts demands significant technical expertise and time. While large healthcare systems often have resources for conversion, smaller trials studies frequently lack such support, leaving valuable research siloed. To develop validate a user-friendly tool that leverages language automate the conversion process trial,...
Abstract Objective The National Institutes of Health (NIH) HEAL Initiative is making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) to maximize the value unprecedented federal investment in pain opioid-use disorder research. This involves standardizing use common elements (CDE) for clinical Methods work describes process selection, processing, harmonization, design constraints CDE across a opioid trials network. Results network alignment allowed incorporation newer standards...
Abstract Objective Examine whether individual, geographic, and economic phenotypes predict missing data on specific drug involvement in overdose deaths, manifesting inequities mortality data, which is a key source used measuring the opioid epidemic. Materials Methods We combined national sources (mortality, demographic, economic, geographic) from 2014–2016 multi-method analysis of classification records (as defined by use ICD-10 T50.9 death certificates). examined individual disparities...
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are currently expanding their influence within healthcare. For pain clinics, unfettered introduction of AI may cause concern in both patients and healthcare teams. Much the stems from lack community standards understanding how algorithms function. Data literacy can be challenging even for experienced providers as these topics not incorporated into standard clinical education pathways. Another reasonable involves potential encoding bias screening treatment...
As anaesthesiologists face increasing clinical demands and a limited competitive funding environment for academic work, the sustainability of has never been more tenuous. Yet, speciality needs in many roles, extending beyond routine duties. Anaesthesiologist educators, researchers, administrators are required not only to train future generations but also lead innovation expansion anaesthesiology related specialities, all improve patient care. This group early career researchers with...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed the NIH HEAL Integrative Management chronic Pain and OUD for Whole Recovery (IMPOWR) network to address interconnected nature pain (CP) opioid use disorder (OUD), which are influenced by mental health. aims develop integrated treatment pathways across multiple sites in United States. IMPOWR Dissemination, Education, Coordination Center (IDEA-CC) is proposed support developing a CP- OUD-focused infrastructure that includes measures stigma,...
The past two decades have witnessed a surge in the use of cervical spine joint procedures including injections, nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation to treat chronic neck pain, yet many aspects remain controversial.
Purpose of review Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a transformative opportunity for pain medicine, offering potential solutions to longstanding challenges in assessment and management. This synthesizes the current state AI applications with strategic framework implementation, highlighting established adaptation pathways from adjacent medical fields. Recent findings In acute pain, systems have achieved regulatory approval ultrasound guidance regional anesthesia shown promise automated...
Abstract Objectives This work aims to provide a specialized template for integrating diverse study data types with varying sharing restrictions specific NIH HEAL Initiative chronic pain and substance use research. Materials Methods We adapted the NIH-GEN DMSP from DMPTool incorporate comprehensive guidance Public Access Data Sharing Policy. Results Our provides structured on implementing common elements, standardizing metadata, protecting sensitive information, selecting appropriate...
Abstract Objectives The main goal is to develop an automated process for connecting Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) instances in a clinical trial network allow deidentified transfer of research surveys cloud computing data commons discovery. Materials and Methods To automate the consolidating from remote sites into 1 dataset at coordinating/storage site, we developed Hypertext Preprocessor script that operates tandem with server-side scheduling system (eg, Cron) set up practical...
