Objectives To assess the communication potential of three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific models congenital heart defects and their acceptability in clinical practice for cardiology consultations. Design This was a questionnaire-based study which participants were randomised into two groups: ‘model group’ received 3D model cardiac lesion(s) being discussed during appointment, while ‘control had routine visit. Setting Outpatient clinic, follow-up visits. Participants 103 parents children...

This pilot study aimed to assess the impact of using patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) models congenital heart disease (CHD) during consultations with adolescent patients. Adolescent CHD patients (n = 20, age 15-18 years, 15 male) were asked complete two questionnaires a cardiology transition clinic at specialist centre. The first questionnaire was completed just before routine consultation cardiologist, second after consultation. During consultation, each patient presented 3D full...
Background Nurse education and training are key to providing congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with consistent high standards of care as well enabling career progression. One approach for improving educational experience is the use 3D patient-specific models. Objectives To gather pilot data assess feasibility using models CHD during a course cardiac nurses; evaluate potential in this context, from nurses' perspective; identify possible improvements optimise their teaching. Design A...
Electronic health records (EHRs) have contributed to increased workloads for clinicians. Ambient artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer potential solutions, aiming streamline clinical documentation and alleviate cognitive strain on healthcare providers.
The purpose of this multicenter study was to confirm the validity and reliability Pediatric Cardiac Quality Life Inventory (PCQLI).Seven centers recruited pediatric patients (8-18 years age) with heart disease (HD) their parents complete PCQLI generic health-related quality life (Pediatric [PedsQL]) non-quality (Self-Perception Profile for Children [SPPC]/Self-Perception Adolescents [SPPA] Youth Self-Report [YSR]/Child Behavior Checklist [CBCL]) tools. construct assessed through correlations...
Introduction Ethnic differences in the birth prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) have been reported; however, studies contemporary UK population are lacking. We investigated ethnic variations incidence serious CHDs requiring cardiac intervention before 1 year age. Methods All infants who had a England and Wales between January 2005 31 December 2010 were identified national disease surgical audit matched with paediatric intensive care admission records to create linked individual...
