The investigators aim to determine the effect of virtual appointments on compliance with Twin Block wear. Patients satisfying the inclusion criteria requiring a Twin Block appliance will be requested to participate in the study. Those selected will be allocated to either the intervention or control group. The control group will receive routine verbal instruction and a standard information leaflet at the start of their treatment. The intervention group will additionally receive virtual appointments over the initial period of treatment involving focussed discussion on twin block wear experience and use of visual aids. Wear time will be objectively recorded in both groups using a temperature-sensitive microsensor embedded in the Twin Block appliance, and occlusal changes will be measured at each standard recall visit. A comparison of the data obtained from each group will be undertaken to determine whether there is a significant difference in compliance with twin block wear between participants who receive adjunctive virtual appointments to those who do not.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about vaccinations hesitancy, delay or avoidance in children with chronic diseases, congenital anomalies or disabilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Attitudes of caregivers towards vaccinating their children, obstacles that postpone vaccinations, and the status of vaccinations of these children. Participants will fill out questionnaires and some will be included in focused groups for the qualitative part of the study. Researchers will compare the vaccinations status of the research group to their siblings' status as well as the published national records of vaccination compliance.
Purpose. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the implementation of the Nurse Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Coordinator (NEC), within the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, in relation to the compliance of patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Methods. Quasi-experimental study with a control group, an intervention group and without random assignment in a multicenter trial; between December 2021 and November 2023. Patients older than 18 years with planned elective intervention of major colorectal surgery will be included; excluding those without social support, with psychiatric illness, cognitive difficulty, planning of simultaneous or emergency surgery. In the intervention arm they will have NEC and in the control group they will not have that resource. Compliance will be the main variable of the study and, in addition, the study aims to assess secondary endpoints such as quality of life (QOL). Conclusions. NEC could increase compliance to ERAS programs, improving health outcomes and QOL perceived by the patient. The applicability in the different hospital centers could generate an opportunity to advance professionally in the nursing figure within the ERAS program. The fact of having NEC could also increase the efficiency of the program due to the cost-effectiveness of the nursing position, although this is not the object of the study. It would be applicable in improving perceived health and QOL, so it could also have an economic impact on the health system.
The current postoperative cataract surgery eye drop regimen used at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is a significant burden for its patient population, contributing to high rates of non-adherence and the development of postoperative complications. The investigators propose to replace this complex regimen with a single administration of intraocular antibiotic and subconjunctival steroid at the time of surgery. This pilot study will obtain the preliminary data required to eventually fully evaluate this innovation in postoperative care in a safety-net population with respect to postoperative outcomes, patient compliance, and patient and caregiver satisfaction.
Telemedicine is an incipient resource to support the stroke system of care in Colombia. Several studies had demonstrated that patients benefit by implementing telestroke, for instance, providing timely and appropriate neurological consultation, diminishing accessible barriers, improving medication adherence for secondary prevention and facilitating linkages between patient and physician, especially for those in rural or neurologically underserved areas. Hypothesis: The use of Telemedicine improves medication adherence in Post-ischemic Stroke. Study Design: This is a randomized, single-blind, clinical trial to assess the efficacy of Telemedicine, over medication adherence in Post-ischemic Stroke subjects from Colombia. Population: Eighty-four Post-ischemic Stroke subjects, subjects of both genders, over 18 years old, with a first stroke will be included. Ethical Aspects: The study will be conducted according to the Helsinki declaration, the good clinical practices guidelines and the Colombian legislation. Prior to entering the study, patients must sign a written or oral informed consent that has been approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia. Overall objective: this study aims to determine the efficacy of telemedicine on pharmacological adherence in post-ischemic Stroke Participants. Focus of study: Adherence to secondary stroke prevention medication.
This study will evaluate the impact of Short Message Service (SMS) on compliance with surveillance of patients with germ-cell tumors. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to get 2 groups : (1) patients will receive reminder SMS before appointment detailing the date of consultation and exams to be performed before; (2) standard of care without SMS.
As the antibiotic resistance increases, the eradication rate of triple therapy is decreasing. Recent guideline recommend the use of bismuth-containing quadruple therapy in areas where clarithromycin resistance is greater than 15%. However, the ideal treatment would be the tailored therapy which choose the antibiotics depending on the antibiotic resistance. This study compared the eradication rates, safety and complicance of tailored therapy compared with empirical bismuth quadruple therapy in the naive patients with H. pylori infection.
Fixed orthodontic appliances in combination with intraoral elastics are a common and effective method use in the orthodontic correction of malocclusions. However, their success is largely dependent on the patient's compliance. Failure to wear the elastics as instructed will reduce efficacy of treatment, ultimately increasing treatment time and potentially producing imperfect alignment of teeth. The hypothesis tested is that daily electronic reminders via a mobile application can significantly increase patient compliance, thus effectively improving treatment outcomes.
