Will 'Computable' Clinical Guidelines Be Compatible with Personalised Care?
CONCLUSION: Those seeking to digitalise guidelines by making them 'computable' need to acknowledge and address their inbuilt preference-sensitivity - if they wish to further care that respects patient's preferences.PMID:38682529 | DOI:10.3233/SHTI240036 (Source: Studies in Health Technology and Informatics)

Exploring Opportunities for Clinical Data Warehouse Enhancement Through Data Catalog Integration
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Apr 26;313:198-202. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240037.ABSTRACTSecondary use of clinical health data implies a prior integration of mostly heterogenous and multidimensional data sets. A clinical data warehouse addresses the technological and organizational framework conditions required for this, by making any data available for analysis. However, users of a data warehouse often do not have a comprehensive overview of all available data and only know about their own data in their own systems - a situation which is also referred to as 'data siloed state'. This problem can be addressed and ultimately sol...

A Standardized Treatment Pathway for Telehealth-Based Care of Chronic Wounds in Austria
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Apr 26;313:186-191. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240035.ABSTRACTChronic wounds present a significant healthcare challenge in Austria as well as in other countries. The interdisciplinary approach to wound treatment involving various caregivers, doctors, and relatives, poses challenges in documentation and information exchange. To overcome these barriers and promote patient-centered care, a new telehealth-supported treatment pathway for chronic wounds has been developed. The primary focus was to regularly update the status of the chronic wound by responding to predefined questions and transmitted images ...

Screening Automation in Systematic Reviews: Analysis of Tools and Their Machine Learning Capabilities
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Apr 26;313:179-185. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240034.ABSTRACTSystematic reviews provide robust evidence but require significant human labor, a challenge that can be mitigated with digital tools. This paper focuses on machine learning (ML) support for the title and abstract screening phase, the most time-intensive aspect of the systematic review process. The existing literature was systematically reviewed and five promising tools were analyzed, focusing on their ability to reduce human workload and their application of ML. This paper details the current state of automation capabilities and highlights...

Infection Control Through Clinical Pipelines Built with Arden Syntax MLM Building Blocks
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Apr 26;313:167-172. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240032.ABSTRACTHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) may have grave consequences for patients. In the case of sepsis, the 30-day mortality rate is about 25%. HAIs cost EU member states an estimated 7 billion Euros annually. Clinical decision support tools may be useful for infection monitoring, early warning, and alerts. MONI, a tool for monitoring nosocomial infections, is used at University Hospital Vienna, but needs to be clinically and technically revised and updated. A new, completely configurable pipeline-based system for defining and processing ...

Telemedicine for Ketogenic Dietary Treatment in Refractory Epilepsy and Inherited Metabolic Disease: State of Play and Future Perspectives
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Apr 26;313:160-166. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240031.ABSTRACTKetogenic dietary therapies (KDT) are diets that induce a metabolic condition comparable to fasting. All types of KDT comprise a reduction in carbohydrates whilst dietary fat is increased up to 90% of daily energy expenditure. The amount of protein is normal or slightly increased. KDT are effective, well studied and established as non-pharmacological treatments for pediatric patients with refractory epilepsy and specific inherited metabolic diseases such as Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome. Patients and caregivers have to con...

Relationship Between Dietary Intakes and Elevated Diastolic Blood Pressure Among Children: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Wearable Devices
CONCLUSION: This study indicates that dietary intakes of high saturated fat, copper, and vitamin B12, but not parental blood pressure statuses, determine high diastolic blood pressure among children regardless of daily sodium intake. Early dietary consumption behavioral adaptation should be considered to prevent further hypertension in adulthood.PMID:38682517 | DOI:10.3233/SHTI240024 (Source: Studies in Health Technology and Informatics)
