Filter by:The goal of the study is to determine if patient-controlled sedation (PCS) with propofol and alfentanil reduces patient-reported pain perception during implantation of subcutaneous venous port (SVP). The main question it aims to answer: How much pain did you (patient) experience during SVP-implantation Several other questions will be answered regarding: patient´s perception of the procedure, complication rate, procedure data. The study contains two groups which will be compared. Control group: will do SVP implantation under local anaesthesia Study group: will do SVP implantation under local anaesthesia and patient-controlled sedation. The patients are asked to complete a questionnaire postoperatively which contains questions on pain perception and satisfaction.
Patients will be randomized either to receive standard daily dressing or hydrocolloid dressing using a randomization generator. After closing the wound with the sutures,the scar will be covered by a hydrocolloid dressing, which will be left in place for 7 days(Experimental) or the standard dressing (Control) that will be covered with petrolatum jelly and bandaging during this time period, which has to be re-applied daily. Patients and dermatologic surgeons will then complete surveys 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days after surgery to evaluate the cosmetic appearance of these scars.
This is a prospective study-registry on preoperative patient characteristics and postoperative complications in patients having fast-track hip and knee replacement surgery in 8 Danish dedicated arthroplasty departments from all five health regions in Denmark. The registry consists of detailed patient and physician reported preoperative characteristics and including prescribed medication and lab results. Follow-up is based on electronical medical records by dedicated nurses with physician backup and includes Clavien-Dindo and Comprehensive Complication Index scoring. All patients having day-surgery also completes a patient reported questionaire on health-care utilization and return to work by day 30. Finally, a machine-learning algorithm for identification of "high-risk" patients based on he preoperative data is included.
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients may be unsatisfied to entecavir (ETV) therapy due to the inconvenience in drug taking, i.e., fasting for more than 2 hours and/or dose adjustment according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has been approved to be highly effective and safe in patients with CHB, and is convenient in drug taking, i.e., once daily regardless food taking and renal function.Therefore,TAF can be a good option in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to assess the improvement on satisfaction (including drug adherence) of TAF switch therapy in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. In addition, with expected adherence improvement in TAF switch therapy, the efficacy of TAF switch therapy may be improved, and the efficacy benefits can be evaluated by the changes of some novel biomarkers, such as HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg). The investigators therefore aim to conduct a prospective cohort study of TAF switch therapy for CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy.
The study team aims to investigate whether implementing virtual reality therapy (VRT) during Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) procedure will provide better alleviation of procedural pain and augmented satisfaction for patients.
- Objectives: To assess whether the implementation of pre-procedural consultations and the use of explanatory audiovisual tools prior to performing Vascular and Interventional Radiology procedures improve the understanding of interventions by patients, improve satisfaction with the information provided and reduce anxiety experienced by the procedure. - Methods: We will conduct a two-arm randomized clinical trial that will include patients undergoing Vascular and Interventional Radiology procedures. After consent to participation by signing the informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to the control group (patients to whom the information about the procedure is provided by the requesting physician) and to the experimental group (patients who, in addition to being informed by the requesting physicians, are attended by interventional radiologists in consultation after previously viewing explanatory videos of the interventions). Multi-choice questionnaires will be used to assess understanding and knowledge of the interventions and validated scales to measure satisfaction with the information provided and anxiety experienced. Knowledge and understanding of the intervention, satisfaction with the information transmitted and the method of transmission, as well as anxiety related to the intervention will be compared between the control group and the experimental group. The Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney test will be used for the comparison of quantitative variables and the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test for the comparison of qualitative variables. Regression analysis will be used to evaluate associations between variables. - Expected results: To demonstrate that the implementation of pre-procedural consultations attended by interventional radiologists and the use of educational audiovisual tools prior to performing Vascular and Interventional Radiology procedures improve the understanding of interventions by patients, their satisfaction with the information provided and reduces the anxiety experienced for the procedure. - Potential impact: It is the first clinical trial that analyzes the usefulness of pre-procedural consultations and audiovisual tools in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, so its results will be very interesting to help standardize clinical practice in Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
This study investigated whether health promotion intervention can effectively affect patients' satisfaction with primary health care services through questionnaire survey.
Through our study, we aim to understand the most important factors for patients when they decide on the type of treatment they receive for MIBC. Our study consists of a discrete choice experiment (DCE): a type of questionnaire used to elicit preferences in the absence of data. DCEs are frequently used in oncological research to elicit preferences from participants without directly asking them to state their preferred options. Participants undertaking our DCE questionnaire will presented with a series of alternative hypothetical scenarios containing several variables or "attributes" (5), each of which may have a number of variations or "levels".
Currently at University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) consent for anesthesia is obtained verbally by qualified anesthesia providers. Later this year, we will be moving to a written informed consent form for anesthesia that must be signed by patients before proceeded with elective surgery. We aim to study patient satisfaction and retention of information presented before and after this change is made. After consent for anesthesia is obtained, study personnel will approach patients >= 18 years of age scheduled for elective surgery and, after seeking verbal consent for this study, will administer a questionnaire which will assess patient satisfaction and retention of the risks that were presented.
This will be a semi-experimental study on constipation predominant IBS patient. One group of patient will receive prucalopride 2mg daily and another group of patient will receive lubiprostone 8 microgram twice daily. IBS-SSS and IBS-QOL score will be recorded at baseline and at follow up at 3 week and 6 week. Effectiveness of both drug will be evaluated by comparing the baseline data with data at 3 week and 6 week(IBS-SSS and IBS-QOL).
