Despite a decade of successful clinical trials for stroke prevention, substantial gaps exist in the application and implementation of this information in community practice. The frequency of guideline use is low, and there remains controversy regarding the standard of practice. Patients with stroke may have multiple risk factors and concomitant stroke mechanisms, factors that are not addressed ...
HEALTH CARE REFORM IN THE UNITED STATES IS likely to fail without fundamental changes in the practice of medicine. What can be done within a year to substantially increase the likelihood that Americans receive appropriate, humane, affordable care? A starting point is to draw on more than 2 decades of empirical research based on the RAND/University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Appropriatenes...
The Extracorporeal Treatments In Poisoning (EXTRIP) workgroup was formed to provide recommendations on the use of extracorporeal treatments (ECTR) in poisoning. Here, the workgroup presents its results for tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). After an extensive literature search, using a predefined methodology, the subgroup responsible for this poison reviewed the articles, extracted the data, sum...
BACKGROUND Previous research documents suboptimal preoperative or postoperative care for patients undergoing surgery. However, few existing quality measures directly address the fundamental element of surgical care: intra-operative care processes. This study sought to develop quality measures for intraoperative, preoperative, and postoperative care for carpal tunnel surgery, a common operation ...
BACKGROUND The EXtracorporeal TReatments In Poisoning (EXTRIP) workgroup was formed to provide recommendations on the use of extracorporeal treatment (ECTR) in poisoning. To test and validate its methods, the workgroup reviewed data for thallium (Tl). METHODS After an extensive search, the co-chairs reviewed the articles, extracted the data, summarized findings, and proposed structured voting...
The Rand index is a measure commonly used to compare crisp partitions. Campello (2007) and Hüllermeier and Rifqi (2009) respectively, proposed two extensions of this index capable to compare fuzzy partitions. These approaches are useful when continuous values of attributes are discretized using fuzzy sets. In previous works we experimented with these extensions and compared their accuracy with ...
OBJECTIVE To find consensus on appropriate and feasible structure, process and outcome indicators for the evaluation of in-hospital geriatric co-management programmes. DESIGN An international two-round Delphi study based on a systematic literature review (searching databases, reference lists, prospective citations and trial registers). SETTING Western Europe and the USA. PARTICIPANTS Thir...
In this paper we show that the technique of handling boundary constraints has a significant influence on the efficiency of the Differential Evolution method. We study the effects of applying several such techniques taken from the literature. The comparison is based on experiments performed for a standard DE/rand/1/bin strategy using the CEC2005 benchmark. The paper reports the results of experi...
BACKGROUND Communication between involved parties is essential to ensure coordinated and safe health care delivery. However, existing literature reveals that the information relayed in the referral process is seen as insufficient by the receivers. It is unknown how this insufficiency affects the quality of care, and valid performance measures to explore it are lacking. The aim of the present st...
