Accurate physical activity monitoring is important for cardiac patients. Novel devices may enable precise measurement of activity. This study aimed to validate Fitbit-Flex against Actigraph accelerometer A validation with a comparative design. Cardiac patients and family members participating in community-based exercise programs wore simultaneously over four days monitor daily step counts minutes moderate vigorous (MVPA). Participants (N = 48) comprised 52.1% males, mean age 65.6 ± 6.9 years...
Barriers to exercise are common in people with coronary heart disease (CHD) and/or diabetes mellitus (DM), and may influence self-efficacy for exercise.The purpose of this study was describe the barriers experienced by who have CHD DM participating Healthy Eating Exercise Lifestyle Program determine whether these self-efficacy.Participants ( n = 134) identified their completed survey at baseline, 4 months (following structured supervised exercise) 12 home-based three follow-up calls).The...
Increasing intensivist shortages and demand, coupled with the escalating bed occupancy rate due to increased demand for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), have created enthusiasm tele-critical (TCC) in form of teleconsultations. Consequently, this study aimed describe role TCC intervention enhancing NICU capacity manage discharge, occupancy, mortality rates. This was an uncontrolled, retrospective, interventional descriptive conducted over 22 months from January 2021 October 2022 a...
The benefits of exercise and weight reduction for overweight or obese people with coronary heart disease and/or diabetes mellitus are well recognised. Healthy Eating Exercise Lifestyle Program demonstrated these outcomes at 4 months, but longer-term not yet reported.To determine whether positive weight, body mass index, waist duration were sustained in the long term (12 months) to identify independent predictors 12 months.Longitudinal design, combining data all participants (intervention...
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), little is known about adoption virtual consultations (VCs), with most studies being survey-based leading to varying results. This study aims utilise secondary collected data on use both kinds VCs currently available, and epidemiologically describe these consultations.
Introduction The increasing frequency of pandemics, demand for healthcare and costs services require efficient health systems with integrated care via a command centre that ensures centralised coordinated approach to exercise effective leadership. Description We present case study using the conceptual framework Franklin describe novel system-based engineering Saudi National Health Command Centre (NHCC) including its features outcomes measured. Discussion NHCC is structured into four...
Concordant assessments of physical activity (PA) and related measures in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is essential for exercise prescription. This study compared measurement from an in-person walk test; wearable tracker; self-report at CR entry, completion (8-weeks) follow-up (16-weeks). Forty patients beginning completed the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Physical Activity Scale Elderly (PASE), wore Fitbit-Flex four consecutive days including two weekend days. The sample mean age was 66 years;...
This paper aims to measure the impact of implemented nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA) during pandemic using simulation modeling. To NPI, a hybrid agent-based and system dynamics model was built validated. Data were collected prospectively on weekly basis. The core epidemiological is based complex Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered Dead epidemic dynamics. Reverse engineering performed basis throughout study period as mean for validation which reported...
Background: Musculoskeletal health is a global concern for school-age children. Children often face ergonomic risk factors in their daily activities, so it important to raise parental awareness prevent musculoskeletal disorders children.Health literacy (HL) related (MSDs) children field with limited previous evidence. The study aimed: To evaluate pediatric caregivers' and lack of general orthopedic clinic. Methods Materials:A cross-sectional was conducted among convenience sample 200...
<h3>Background</h3> The increasing frequency of pandemics, and costs healthcare services requires integrative, efficient effective health systems. <h3>Aim</h3> Describe the framework distinctive outcomes Saudi National Health Command Centre (NHCC). Method: A review was performed to describe system-based engineering approach utilised design NHCC. This smart centre creates a new model care delivery which impacts clinical operational indicators by adopting integrative interdisciplinary methods...
