Triage Accuracy of Symptom Checker Apps: 5-Year Follow-up Evaluation (Preprint)
Authors: Schmieding Malte L , Kopka Marvin , Schmidt Konrad , Schulz-Niethammer Sven , Balzer Felix , Feufel Markus A
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Symptom checkers are digital tools assisting laypersons in self-assessing the urgency and potential causes of their medical complaints. They are widely used but face concerns from both patients and health care professionals, especially regarding their accuracy. A 2015 landmark study substantiated these concerns using case vignettes to demonstrate that symptom checkers commonly err in their triage assessment.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to revisit the landmark index study to investigate whether and how symptom checkers’ capabilities have evolved since 2015 and how they currently compare with laypersons’ stand-alone triage appraisal.

METHODS

In early 2020, we searched for smartphone and web-based applications providing triage advice. We evaluated these apps on the same 45 case vignettes as the index study. Using descriptive statistics, we compared our findings with those of the index study and with publicly available data on laypersons’ triage capability.

RESULTS

We retrieved 22 symptom checkers providing triage advice. The median triage accuracy in 2020 (55.8%, IQR 15.1%) was close to that in 2015 (59.1%, IQR 15.5%). The apps in 2020 were less risk averse (odds 1.11:1, the ratio of overtriage errors to undertriage errors) than those in 2015 (odds 2.82:1), missing >40% of emergencies. Few apps outperformed laypersons in either deciding whether emergency care was required or whether self-care was sufficient. No apps outperformed the laypersons on both decisions.

CONCLUSIONS

Triage performance of symptom checkers has, on average, not improved over the course of 5 years. It decreased in 2 use cases (advice on when emergency care is required and when no health care is needed for the moment). However, triage capability varies widely within the sample of symptom checkers. Whether it is beneficial to seek advice from symptom checkers depends on the app chosen and on the specific question to be answered. Future research should develop resources (eg, case vignette repositories) to audit the capabilities of symptom checkers continuously and independently and provide guidance on when and to whom they should be recommended.

BACKGROUND

Individual differences in the rate of aging and susceptibility to disease are not accounted for by chronological age alone. These individual differences are better explained by biological age, which may be estimated by biomarker prediction models. In the light of the aging demographics of the global population and the increase in lifestyle-related morbidities, it is interesting to invent a new biological age model to be used for health promotion.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to develop a model that estimates biological age based on physiological biomarkers of healthy aging.

METHODS

Carefully selected physiological variables from a healthy study population of 100 women and men were used as biomarkers to establish an estimate of biological age. Principal component analysis was applied to the biomarkers and the first principal component was used to define the algorithm estimating biological age.

RESULTS

The first principal component accounted for 31% in women and 25% in men of the total variance in the biological age model combining mean arterial pressure, glycated hemoglobin, waist circumference, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, maximal oxygen consumption, adiponectin, high-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor. The correlation between the corrected biological age and chronological age was r=0.86 (P<.001) and r=0.81 (P<.001) for women and men, respectively, and the agreement was high and unbiased. No difference was found between mean chronological age and mean biological age, and the slope of the regression line was near 1 for both sexes.

CONCLUSIONS

Estimating biological age from these 9 biomarkers of aging can be used to assess general health compared with the healthy aging trajectory. This may be useful to evaluate health interventions and as an aid to enhance awareness of individual health risks and behavior when deviating from this trajectory.

Integrating Human-Centered Design Methods Into a Health Promotion Project: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education Case Study for Intervention Design (Preprint)
Authors: Chen Elizabeth , Bishop Jared , Guge Cozon Lindsay , Hernandez Eduardo , Sadeghzadeh Claire , Bradley Megan , Dearth-Wesley Tracy , De Marco Molly
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Human-centered design, or design thinking, offers an extensive toolkit of methods and strategies for user-centered engagement that lends itself well to intervention development and implementation. These methods can be applied to the fields of public health and medicine to design interventions that may be more feasible and viable in real-world contexts than those developed with different methods.

OBJECTIVE

The design team aimed to develop approaches to building food skills among caregivers of children aged 0-5 years who are eligible for a federal food assistance program while they were in the grocery store.

METHODS

They applied 3 specific human-centered design methods—Extremes and Mainstreams, Journey Mapping, and Co-Creation Sessions—to collaboratively develop intervention approaches to enhance Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) reach and impact across food retail settings. Extremes and Mainstreams is a specific kind of purposive sampling that selects individuals based on characteristics beyond demographics. Journey Mapping is a visual tool that asks individuals to identify key moments and decision points during an experience. Co-Creation Sessions are choreographed opportunities for individuals to explicitly contribute to the design of a solution alongside research or design team members.

RESULTS

Ten caregivers with diverse lived experiences were selected to participate in remote design thinking workshops and create individual journey maps to depict their grocery store experiences. Common happy points and pain points were identified. Nine stakeholders, including caregivers, SNAP-Ed staff, and grocery store dieticians, cocreated 2 potential intervention approaches informed by caregivers’ experiences and needs: a rewards program and a meal box option.

CONCLUSIONS

These 3 human-centered design methods led to a meaningful co-design process where proposed interventions aligned with caregivers’ wants and needs. This case study provides other public health practitioners with specific examples of how to use these methods in program development and stakeholder engagement as well as lessons learned when adapting these methods to remote settings.

Authors: Chen Pei-Fu , Chen Lichin , Lin Yow-Kuan , Li Guo-Hung , Lai Feipei , Lu Cheng-Wei , Yang Chi-Yu , Chen Kuan-Chih , Lin Tzu-Yu
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Machine learning (ML) achieves better predictions of postoperative mortality than previous prediction tools. Free-text descriptions of the preoperative diagnosis and the planned procedure are available preoperatively. Because reading these descriptions helps anesthesiologists evaluate the risk of the surgery, we hypothesized that deep learning (DL) models with unstructured text could improve postoperative mortality prediction. However, it is challenging to extract meaningful concept embeddings from this unstructured clinical text.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to develop a fusion DL model containing structured and unstructured features to predict the in-hospital 30-day postoperative mortality before surgery. ML models for predicting postoperative mortality using preoperative data with or without free clinical text were assessed.

METHODS

We retrospectively collected preoperative anesthesia assessments, surgical information, and discharge summaries of patients undergoing general and neuraxial anesthesia from electronic health records (EHRs) from 2016 to 2020. We first compared the deep neural network (DNN) with other models using the same input features to demonstrate effectiveness. Then, we combined the DNN model with bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) to extract information from clinical texts. The effects of adding text information on the model performance were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC). Statistical significance was evaluated using P<.05.

RESULTS

The final cohort contained 121,313 patients who underwent surgeries. A total of 1562 (1.29%) patients died within 30 days of surgery. Our BERT-DNN model achieved the highest AUROC (0.964, 95% CI 0.961-0.967) and AUPRC (0.336, 95% CI 0.276-0.402). The AUROC of the BERT-DNN was significantly higher compared to logistic regression (AUROC=0.952, 95% CI 0.949-0.955) and the American Society of Anesthesiologist Physical Status (ASAPS AUROC=0.892, 95% CI 0.887-0.896) but not significantly higher compared to the DNN (AUROC=0.959, 95% CI 0.956-0.962) and the random forest (AUROC=0.961, 95% CI 0.958-0.964). The AUPRC of the BERT-DNN was significantly higher compared to the DNN (AUPRC=0.319, 95% CI 0.260-0.384), the random forest (AUPRC=0.296, 95% CI 0.239-0.360), logistic regression (AUPRC=0.276, 95% CI 0.220-0.339), and the ASAPS (AUPRC=0.149, 95% CI 0.107-0.203).

CONCLUSIONS

Our BERT-DNN model has an AUPRC significantly higher compared to previously proposed models using no text and an AUROC significantly higher compared to logistic regression and the ASAPS. This technique helps identify patients with higher risk from the surgical description text in EHRs.

BACKGROUND

The 2019 novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has severely burdened the healthcare system through its rapid transmission. To facilitate remote monitoring and continuity of care for COVID-19 patients, mobile health (mHealth) is seen as a viable solution. However, the conceptualization and development of mHealth applications are often labor and time-intensive, laden with concerns relating to data security and privacy, and faced poor adoption due to communication-related barriers, and struggle with continued engagement due to perceived lack of benefits. The rapid development of a mHealth application that is cost-effective and secure will be a timely enabler.

OBJECTIVE

This project aims to develop a mHealth application – The DrCovid+ to facilitate the remote monitoring and continuity of care for COVID-19 patients.

METHODS

Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach was adopted in the development of the application prototype. Stakeholders including decision-makers, physicians, nurses, healthcare administrators, and research engineers were engaged. The process began with requirements gathering to define and finalize the project scope followed by an iterative process of developing a working prototype, User Acceptance Test (UAT), and improvement work before the actual implementation. Co-designing principles were applied to ensure equal collaborative efforts and common agreement amongst stakeholders.

RESULTS

The DrCovid+ was developed on Telegram services and hosted on a cloud server. It features a secure enrolment and patient data interface, a multi-lingual communication channel, and automatic and personalized push messaging. A backend dashboard was also developed to collect patients’ vital signs for remote monitoring and continuity of care. To date, 20 patients have been enrolled into the system, amounting to 203 bed days saved.

CONCLUSIONS

Rapid development and implementation of the DrCovid+ allow for timely clinical and social care management for COVID-19 patients. This facilitates early patient hospital discharge and continuity of care while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of healthcare providers by minimizing physical interactions. The use case for the DrCovid+ can also be extended beyond the hospital walls and adopted for other medical conditions to advance patient care and empowerment within the community to meet the existing and rising population health challenges.

Authors: Kim Daejin , Bian Hongyi , Chang Carl , Dong Liang , Margrett Jennifer
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Smart home technologies have been considered essential interventions that enable older adults to maintain wellness and independence at home.

OBJECTIVE

The main purpose of the present investigation is to classify recent smart home technologies that monitor older adults’ health and to architecturally describe these technologies as they are used in older adults’ homes.

METHODS

The scoping review method was employed to identify key characteristics of in-home monitoring technologies for older adults. The method can be used to summarize underexplored research areas and determine the nature of specific topics, identifying research gaps that remain after previous studies.

RESULTS

A total of thirty research articles were finally included and used in the study and two overviews of in-home monitoring technologies were included: (1) features of smart home technologies, and (2) sensor locations and sensor data. First, all of the reports reviewed (N=30) discussed how sensor technologies can be used to monitor older adults’ activities, as well as how to analyze and detect daily activity anomalies through machine learning algorithms. The present scoping review found six functions of in-home monitoring technology among the reviewed papers: daily activities, abnormal behaviors, cognitive impairment, falls, indoor personnel positioning, and sleep quality. Second, The present scoping review found 16 types of sensor technologies described in the 30 research reports reviewed. The most common data types encountered were Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensors (n=20) and contact sensors (n=19), and were used to monitor human behavior such as bodily presence and time spent on activities.

CONCLUSIONS

This research provided a key summarization of in-home monitoring technologies, an underexplored research area in the field of aging in place. This wide-ranging synthesis demonstrates that in-home monitoring technologies within older adults’ homes play an essential role in aging in place in that the technology monitors older adults’ daily activities and identifies various health-related issues.
The Power of Patient Engagement With Electronic Health Records as Research Participants (Preprint)
Authors: Pawelek Jeff , Baca-Motes Katie , Pandit Jay A , Berk Benjamin B , Ramos Edward
Published: May 2022

UNSTRUCTURED

Electronic health record (EHR) technology has become a central digital health tool throughout health care. EHR systems are responsible for a growing number of vital functions for hospitals and providers. More recently, patient-facing EHR tools are allowing patients to interact with their EHR and connect external sources of health data, such as wearable fitness trackers, personal genomics, and outside health services, to it. As patients become more engaged with their EHR, the volume and variety of digital health information will serve an increasingly useful role in health care and health research. Particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability for the biomedical research community to pivot to fully remote research, driven largely by EHR data capture and other digital health tools, is an exciting development that can significantly reduce burden on study participants, improve diversity in clinical research, and equip researchers with more robust clinical data. In this viewpoint, we describe how patient engagement with EHR technology is poised to advance the digital clinical trial space, an innovative research model that is uniquely accessible and inclusive for study participants.
Study of Online Cohorts for Internalizing symptoms and Language (SOCIAL) Study I and II: Baseline assessments, rationale, and validity of social media accounts (Preprint)
Authors: Lorenzo-Luaces Lorenzo , Howard Jacqueline , Edinger Andrew , Yan Harry Yaojun , Rutter Lauren A. , Valdez Danny , Bollen Johan
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Internalizing, externalizing, and somatoform disorders are the most common and disabling forms of psychopathology. Our understanding of these clinical problems is limited by a reliance on self-report along with research using small samples. Social media has emerged as an exciting avenue in which to collect large sample of longitudinal data from individuals to study psychopathology. Nonetheless, there are concerns regarding whether people who share their social media data for research are significantly different from people who do not.

OBJECTIVE

We report the results of two large ongoing studies in which we collect Twitter data and self-reported
clinical screening scales, the Studies of Online Cohorts for Internalizing symptoms and Language (SOCIAL). We categorized individuals based on whether they were deemed to have given a valid Twitter account. We described differences in sociodemographic features, clinical symptoms, and aspects of social media use by whether or not individuals gave valid accounts.

METHODS

Participants were a nationally representative sample of Twitter-using adults (SOCIAL-I: N= 1,121) as well as a sample of college students in the Midwest (SOCIAL-II: N= 2,015), of which 61% were Twitter users. For all participants who were Twitter users, we asked for access to their Twitter handle which we analyzed with BotOMeter, an online application rating the likelihood the account belongs to a bot. We divided participants into four groups: 1) Twitter users who did not allow access to their account (“No handle”), 2) those who denied being Twitter users (“No Twitter,” only available for SOCIAL-II), 3) Twitter users who gave their handles but whose account had high BotOMeter score (“Bot-like”), and 4) Twitter users who provided their handles and had low BotOMeter scores (“Valid”).

RESULTS

n SOCIAL-I, most individuals were classified as valid (n=580) and few were deemed bot-like (n=190). 351 gave no handle. In SOCIAL-II, many individuals were not Twitter users (n = 760). Of the Twitter users in SOCIAL-II (n = 1, 455), most were classified as either invalid (n = 515) or valid (n = 484), with a smaller fraction deemed bot-like (n = 229). Participants reported high rates of mental health diagnoses as well as high levels of symptoms, especially in SOCIAL-II. In general, differences between individuals who provided or did not provide their social media handle were small and not statistically significant

CONCLUSIONS

Triangulating passively-acquired social media data and self-reported questionnaires offers avenues for large-scale assessment and evaluation of vulnerability to mental disorders. The propensity of participants to share social media handles is not likely a source of sample bias in subsequent social media analytics

Культури клітин важливі для онкологічних і біологічних досліджень. Ми досліджуємо зростання в’язких клітин Hela на наноструктурованих, вертикально вирівняних, багатостінних каркасах із вуглецевих нанотрубок (VA-MWCNTs) порівняно з полірованими кремнієвими поверхнями за допомогою скануючої електронної мікроскопії (СЕМ). Каркаси VA-MWCNT були вирощені методом хімічного осадження з парової фази з посиленням плазми. Обидві поверхні стерилізували ультрафіолетовим випромінюванням і поміщали в чашку Петрі перед культивуванням клітин на 5 годин і 24 години відповідно. Після цього клітини були хімічно зафіксовані, щоб можна було охарактеризувати морфологію за допомогою СЕМ. Результати показали, що на поверхні каркасів VA-MWCNT зросла більша кількість клітин порівняно з полірованими кремнієвими пластинами. Ниткоподібні псевдоподії клітин Hela були виявлені на поверхні обох типів кремнієвих пластин. Клітини Hela демонстрували різні морфологічні характеристики на VA-MWCNTs у різний час культивування in vitro, що може бути пов’язано з циклом ділення клітин Hela. Схоже, що каркас VA-MWCNT впливає на цикл клітинного поділу, що може пояснити зміну морфології. На закінчення слід зазначити, що MWCNTs сприяли проліферації та росту клітин Hela, а також впливали на напрямок і морфологію росту клітин.
Значення локорегіонарної терапії у хворих на тричі негативний рак грудної залози (огляд літератури)

Published: May 2022

Тричі негативний рак молочної залози (ТНРМЗ) — це гетерогенне захворювання, що характеризується відсутністю терапевтичних мішеней, зумовлюючи обмеження можливостей лікувального впливу, та супроводжується вищою частотою виникнення місцевого рецидиву та віддалених метастазів, а отже, і гіршим прогнозом перебігу порівняно із іншими молекулярними підтипами раку молочної залози (РМЗ). Незважаючи на клініко-патогенетичну відмінність тричі негативних пухлин, чітко окреслених рекомендацій з приводу хірургічної тактики та доцільності застосування ад’ювантної променевої терапії на сьогодні не існує. Хірургічне втручання є основним методом, який забезпечує локорегіонарний контроль РМЗ. Проте в низці випадків тільки даний тип лікування не гарантує необхідного місцевого контролю захворювання, що потребує призначення ад’ювантної променевої терапії з метою зменшення частоти розвитку рецидиву. Лікування ТНРМЗ — це підґрунтя постійних наукових пошуків. Беручи до уваги неоднорідність систематизованих результатів, наведених у роботі, дана дискусія створює субстрат для проведення подальших досліджень з метою з’ясування, яка група пацієнтів може отримати найбільшу терапевтичну ефективність від променевої терапії.
Fiduciary Duty in a Guanxi Society
Authors: Mitchell Ezra Wasserman
Published: May 2022

China has imported the Anglo-American law of fiduciary duty into its corporate statute. I argue that fiduciary duty confronts a problem. Its transplantation is into the rich cultural soil of guanxi, a soil that is incompatible with the equally richly developed culture of fiduciary duty.This is the first paper to examine the relationship between fiduciary duty and guanxi. I conclude that, while fiduciary duty may take root in the limited (but important) context of self-dealing transactions, it is likely to fail in its essential function of guiding fiduciary behavior in the presence of a guanxi relationship.

Abstract: Sign language is one of the oldest and most natural forms of language for com- munication, but since most people do not know sign language and interpreters are very difficult to come by, we have come up with a real time method using neural networks for fingerspelling based American sign language. In our method, the hand is first passed through a filter and after the filter is applied the hand is passed through a classifier which predicts the class of the hand gestures. Our method provides 95.7% accuracy for the 26 letters of the alphabet.
Una Faccia, Una Razza: Similarities, Differences, and Parallels in Adult Education Policy Development in Greece and Italy
Authors: Koulaouzides George , Romano Alessandra
Published: May 2022

There is little evidence about the origin of the phrase una faccia, una razza (one face, one race). However, its use signifies numerous shared elements in the cultures of Italy and Greece. In both countries, adult education emerged within the critical paradigm whereas vocationalism is currently the leading force of adult education policy development. The purpose of this article is to discuss the paths of adult education policy evolution over the last 40 years in both countries. Acknowledging Europeanization, neoliberalism, and vocationalism as the forces of policy change, the article provides a detailed critical review, a synthesis, and a proposal about future steps in adult education policy.

O POTENCIAL DAS PAISAGENS DE UMA REGIÃO CÁRSTICA PARA O TURISMO - A BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO FORMOSO, BONITO/MATO GROSSO DO SUL, BRASIL
Authors: Medeiros Rafael Brugnolli , Chávez Eduardo Salinas
Published: May 2022

Regiões cársticas exibem grande beleza cênica, rios translúcidos, grutas, cavernas, abismos, entre outras feições que resultam em paisagens cada vez mais incorporadas aos circuitos de turismo de natureza. Neste contexto, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar o potencial das paisagens para o turismo na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Formoso (BHRF), Bonito/MS, por meio da identificação, classificação e cartografia das paisagens, empregando indicadores ambientais e geoecológicos de forma integrada e sistêmica. Na operacionalização da pesquisa utilizou-se uma matriz de variáveis e critérios ligados à naturalidade, diversidade, singularidade, complexidade, qualidade visual, presença de rios cênicos e avaliação dos empreendimentos turísticos, para cada uma das unidades de paisagem, em que foram atribuídos pesos de potencial manuseados em ambiente SIG ArcGis 10®. Como resultados, apontou-se a existência de sete unidades de paisagem de primeiro nível e vinte e três de segundo nível, em uma marcante heterogeneidade que se vinculou ao relevo íngreme e, em alguns casos, dissecados, o que favorece a ocorrência de cachoeiras e corredeiras. Os rios com águas translúcidas também se vinculam à potencialidade muito alta para o turismo, inclusive são nestas unidades que estão localizados grande parte dos empreendimentos turísticos de Bonito. Isso fez com que esse trabalho contribua tanto no arcabouço teórico-metodológico quanto na prática e aplicabilidade em uma região cárstica, facilitando a organização do fenômeno turístico de forma a inter-relacionar com as potencialidades da paisagem, visando o planejamento e gestão turística sustentável.
