Readability of Online Patient Education Materials for Graft-Versus-Host Disease
AbstractGraft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a complex systemic diagnosis which is associated with significant symptom distress in patients. Patient education has shown to mitigate uncertainty and distress, but to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated patient education materials on GVHD. We characterized the readability and understandability of patient education materials on GVHD available online. We conducted a Google search of the top 100 non-sponsored search results, selecting for full-text patient education that is not peer-reviewed or a news article. We evaluated the text of the eligible search results against the F...

A Qualitative Study on Decision ‐Making by Prostate Cancer Physicians during Active Surveillance
ConclusionThese qualitative data reveal which factors influence physicians that manage patients on AS. There is tension between providing standardized care while also considering individual patients’ needs and health status. Additional education on active surveillance is needed during urology training and continuing medical education. Future research is needed to empirically understand whether any specific protocol is superior to tailored, individualized care.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
