Prompt Framework for Extracting Scale-Related Knowledge Entities from Chinese Medical Literature: Development and Evaluation Study

Prompt Framework for Extracting Scale-Related Knowledge Entities from Chinese Medical Literature: Development and Evaluation Study

Transforming unstructured scale-related documents into computable and accessible knowledge systems, such as knowledge graphs, could help alleviate the burden on practitioners and promote MBC adoption [8]. The key to this transformation lies in accurately extracting scale-related knowledge entities from unstructured medical texts. However, several challenges complicate this task.

Performance of an Electronic Health Record–Based Automated Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Score Calculator: Cohort Study in the Emergency Department

Altered mental status was defined as Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) In March 2022, a “pre-commitment” strategy was implemented in our ED to encourage outpatient management of low-risk acute PE [21]. The e PESI was calculated in all patients in whom a CT-PE was ordered. In patients with e PESI Image of the best practice alert presented to clinicians, depicting the Electronic Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (e PESI) score.

Peer Review of “Development and Content Validity of the Handwashing Index (Preprint)”

Peer Review of “Development and Content Validity of the Handwashing Index (Preprint)”

This important qualifier could be done in places such as the name of the index itself (eg, handwashing [frequency] index), the abstract (eg, “There is no validated scale to measure [the frequency of] this habit”), and the conclusion (eg, “Interventions aimed at improving [the frequency of] handwashing in the global community”). The cutoff point for item scoring appears too low, as a score of 4 is categorized as regular practice, despite the reported highest score being 20.

Automated Pain Spots Recognition Algorithm Provided by a Web Service–Based Platform: Instrument Validation Study

Automated Pain Spots Recognition Algorithm Provided by a Web Service–Based Platform: Instrument Validation Study

Self-report measures involve asking the person to rate his or her level of pain on a scale, such as the Visual Analog Scale or the Numeric Rating Scale [5]. A promising way of evaluating pain using drawings is known as the Pain Drawing Scale [6-10]. Digital technologies have had a significant influence on the evolution of pain drawings (PDs), with different applications in the field of medical apps [11].

Development and Validation of a Mobile-Centered Digital Health Readiness Scale (mDiHERS): Health Literacy and Equity Scale

Development and Validation of a Mobile-Centered Digital Health Readiness Scale (mDiHERS): Health Literacy and Equity Scale

Step 1 involved a literature review to derive the initial scale items related to digital health literacy and digital health equity. Step 2 aimed to gain qualitative insights into the initial scale items by conducting focus group interviews (FGIs) with 6 patients with IBD and 6 experts, followed by an evaluation of the content validity of the initial scale items by 8 experts. Step 3 evaluated the validity and reliability of the final scale items quantitatively with 440 patients with IBD.

A Multidimensional Approach for Evaluating Reality in Social Media: Mixed Methods Study

Measures were given on a scale ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree, unless noted otherwise. On the basis of the findings from the focus groups and existing research, items were developed to measure the 5 aspects of social media reality judgments: falsity, naturality, authenticity, resonance, and social assurance. Multimedia Appendix 2 presents the full list of items, along with scale means, SDs, and reliability.

Content Validity and Psychometric Properties of the German Version of the Holm and Cordoba Urinary Tract Infection Score for Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections in Women: Protocol for a Validation Study

Content Validity and Psychometric Properties of the German Version of the Holm and Cordoba Urinary Tract Infection Score for Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections in Women: Protocol for a Validation Study

All items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1=none to 4=a lot. The instrument is available in Danish and has sufficient content validity. Data on other important measurement properties, for example, structural validity, are not yet available, indicating the need for further validation studies before the instrument can be used.

Improving Children’s Mental Health Literacy Through the Cocreation of an Intervention and Scale Validation: Protocol for the CHILD-Mental Health Literacy Research Study

Improving Children’s Mental Health Literacy Through the Cocreation of an Intervention and Scale Validation: Protocol for the CHILD-Mental Health Literacy Research Study

There is also no scale for children younger than 12 years, apart from a scale on stigmatization [42] and another scale addressed only to children having a parent with mental illness [43]. Thus, a scale covering all 6 MHL dimensions addressed to primary school children (ages 9-11 years) does not exist so far. Only an attempt has been made by Bale et al [27], but the work has not been finished.
