Concordance of self-reporting of diabetes compared with medical records: A comparative study using polyclinic data in Singapore
CONCLUSION: Diabetes concordance was substantial, supporting the use of self-report of diabetes by patients with chronic diseases in the primary care setting for future research. Pre-diabetes concordance was fair and may have important clinical implications. Further studies to explore and improve health literacy and patient-physician communication are needed.PMID:36880817 | DOI:10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022246 (Source: Ann Acad Med Singapo...)

Factors associated with deep infiltrating endometriosis, adenomyosis and ovarian endometrioma
CONCLUSION: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is associated with severe dysmenorrhoea, pain related to urinary and gastrointestinal tracts, higher fertility desire and infertility rate. Patients with pain symptomatology and subfertility should be referred early to a tertiary centre with the capability to diagnose and manage deep infiltrating endometriosis.PMID:36880818 | DOI:10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022334 (Source: Ann Acad Med Singapo...)

Through the eyes into the brain, using artificial intelligence
CONCLUSION: Recent AI-based systems dedicated to scalable retinal imaging have opened new perspectives for the detection of brain conditions directly or indirectly affecting retinal structures. However, further validation and implementation studies are required to better understand their potential value in clinical practice.PMID:36880820 | DOI:10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022369 (Source: Ann Acad Med Singapo...)

Approach to bradyarrhythmias: A proposed algorithm
Ann Acad Med Singap. 2023 Feb;52(2):96-99. doi: 10.47102/annals-acadmedsg.2022411.ABSTRACTBradyarrhythmias are commonly encountered in clinical practice. While there are several electrocardiographic criteria and algorithms for tachyarrhythmias, there is no algorithm for bradyarrhythmias to the best of our knowledge. In this article, we propose a diagnostic algorithm that uses simple concepts: (1) the presence or absence of P waves, (2) the relationship between the number of P waves and QRS complexes, and (3) the regularity of time intervals (PP, PR and RR intervals). We believe this straightforward, stepwise method provide...
