Project description:Interventions: This trial is a secondary analysis of existing data collected as part of a previous prospective trial investigating the efficacy and tolerability of different bowel preparations in both inflammatory bowel disease patients and the general population.
In the original trial, patients were randomised to two different types of bowel preparation (Moviprep or Prep Kit C).
We added ambient temperature as the minimum and maximum temperature documented by the local Bureau of Meteorology weather observation station on the day prior to the scheduled colonoscopy.
No additional participant involvement was required.
Primary outcome(s): Quality of bowel preparation as determined using the validated Ottawa Bowel Preparation Score. This grades the quality of bowel preparation from 0 to 4 (with 0 being no fluid and 4 pertaining to fluid/faecal material unable to be cleared) in three colonic segments (right, left and rectosigmoid) to reach a total score out of 14. All endoscopists attended calibrating sessions prior to study commencement. Two endoscopists assessed the efficacy of bowel cleansing regime independently at the time of the procedure. An average score was then calculated. Inadequate bowel preparation is defined as an Ottawa Bowel Preparation Score equal to or greater than 8.[At time of colonoscopy. ]

Project description:BACKGROUND: The use of mobile phones, and specifically smartphones, in the last decade has become more and more prevalent. The latest mobile phones are equipped with comprehensive features that can be used in health care, such as providing rapid access to up-to-date evidence-based information, provision of instant communications, and improvements in organization. The estimated number of health care apps for mobile phones is increasing tremendously, but previous research has highlighted the lack of critical appraisal of new apps. This lack of appraisal of apps has largely been due to the lack of clinicians with technical knowledge of how to create an evidence-based app. OBJECTIVE: We discuss two freely available methodologies for developing Web-based mobile phone apps: a website builder and an app builder. With these, users can program not just a Web-based app, but also integrate multimedia features within their app, without needing to know any programming language. METHODS: We present techniques for creating a mobile Web-based app using two well-established online mobile app websites. We illustrate how to integrate text-based content within the app, as well as integration of interactive videos and rich site summary (RSS) feed information. We will also briefly discuss how to integrate a simple questionnaire survey into the mobile-based app. A questionnaire survey was administered to students to collate their perceptions towards the app. RESULTS: These two methodologies for developing apps have been used to convert an online electronic psychiatry textbook into two Web-based mobile phone apps for medical students rotating through psychiatry in Singapore. Since the inception of our mobile Web-based app, a total of 21,991 unique users have used the mobile app and online portal provided by WordPress, and another 717 users have accessed the app via a Web-based link. The user perspective survey results (n=185) showed that a high proportion of students valued the textbook and objective structured clinical examination videos featured in the app. A high proportion of students concurred that a self-designed mobile phone app would be helpful for psychiatry education. CONCLUSIONS: These methodologies can enable busy clinicians to develop simple mobile Web-based apps for academic, educational, and research purposes, without any prior knowledge of programming. This will be beneficial for both clinicians and users at large, as there will then be more evidence-based mobile phone apps, or at least apps that have been appraised by a clinician.

Project description:There is no consensus about the best bowel preparation prior to transanal endoscopic surgery TES). Cleanliness and visibility in the rectosigmoid and rectum are of utmost importance, possibly even more so than during colonoscopy, to facilitate safe, precise and efficient resection of the rectal lesion and potentially adequate closure of the defect. Both Fleet enemas and oral mechanical bowel preparation are considered standard of care in preparation for TES. This single center two arm single blinded randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of Fleet enemas in comparison to Pico Salax oral mechanical bowel preparation in cleansing the rectum as measured by a modified version of the Ottawa Bowel Prep Scale.

Project description:BackgroundWarfarin has a narrow therapeutic window. Maintaining the patient's international normalized ratio (INR) within a predefined therapeutic range is one of the main challenges of warfarin treatment. This study aimed to compare the INR values of patients followed by face-to-face and telephone applications.MethodsThis study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. Twelve patients living in a distant place were assigned to the experimental group, and 12 patients living nearby and followed-up in the outpatient clinic were assigned to the control group. A Patient Information Form and the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale were used to collect data.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics except for age (P > .05). The INR values of 67% of the patients followed in the outpatient clinic and 72% of the patients followed with the application were in the therapeutic range. There was no significant difference between the groups and medication adherence was high in both groups (P > .05).ConclusionIn light of the findings of our study, which demonstrated that the INR levels of patients who were monitored both face-to-face and via a telephone application were within the same therapeutic range, it was concluded that the telephone application can be used to manage warfarin therapy.

Project description:This is a single blinded randomized controlled study. The main question of this study is whether better preparation by making full use of digital tools can increase patient compliance with the preparation methods for colonoscopy, and as a result improve bowel preparation quality and colonoscopy outcomes in a cost-effective manner.
Participants will randomly assigned to one of three colonoscopy preparation groups (i) a written hand out containing all information required for bowel preparation (standard care) (ii) standard care and in addition a video call with a professional nurse conducted via digital devices and a free software (Zoom video communication or What’s app application) (iii) standard care and in addition to a video call as described above using an explanatory short video on bowel preparation (video film), streamed to the patient’s mobile device or computer.

Project description:Interventions: Participants in the interventional arm of the study will receive their bowel preparation instructions delivered via scheduled SMS, web-based smartphone application, email, and videos. All enrolled participants must possess a smartphone device. The interventional arm will occur in parallel design with the control arm. Depending on whether participants have a history of constipation, bloating, or diverticular disease as assessed by the faecal occult blood test (FOBT) nurse or the gastroenterologist at the initial phone call, participants will be stratified into one of two groups depending on their indicated bowel preparation regimens.
Participants will be either given Standard Bowel Preparation instructions with PLENVU [macrogol 3350, sodium ascorbate, sodium sulfate anhydrous, ascorbic acid, sodium chloride, potassium chloride; polyethylene glycol containing ascorbic acid (PEG-ASC)], or Enhanced Bowel Preparation [PLENVU plus daily Movicol (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, bicarbonate, macrogol 3350) and Senokot (sennoside)]. Additional aperients, such as Movicol and Senokot, will be encouraged in the interventional arm through dynamic multimedia instructions if indicated. Participants will be asked to take PLENVU over a two-day split dosing schedule with the first 500 mL dose of PLENVU (including additional 500 mL of clear fluid) taken in the evening before the clinical procedure (at 6 pm) and the second 500 mL dose (including additional 500 mL of clear fluid) in the early morning of the day of the clinical procedure (at 5 am for morning procedure or 8 am for afternoon procedures). Participants in the Enhanced Bowel Preparation group will also take 1 sachet of Movicol and 2 Senokot tablets daily at 0800 in the week leading up to the colonoscopy.
