Clinical Decision Support System to Manage Patients on Self-monitored Blood Pressure: A Scoping Review
No full textSelf-monitoring of home blood pressure (HBP) is a crucial component of hypertension management, but clinicians face challenges in interpreting HBP records, following local guidelines, and managing BP variability. Additionally, HBP records are available in different forms, which can be time-consuming to manually analyze and compare with office BP readings. This can lead to inaccurate assessment and management of patients' BP.
Digital clinical decision support (CDS) systems can help clinicians make better decisions by detecting elevated BP readings, supporting diagnosis, and providing guidance on lifestyle counselling and pharmacotherapy. However, creating and implementing CDS systems requires programming guidelines into logic, automating cognitive tasks, designing the user interface, and updating the system regularly. It also requires stakeholder engagement to map out workflow and cognitive processes.
This study aims to assess the extent of the literature on CDS using HBP to manage patients with hypertension. Key findings will provide evidence in areas such as experiences, challenges, and enablers of using CDS by users to guide evidence-based clinician decisions; this will enable us to develop a CDS with features that address the limitations and include features that enable decision-making
Antibiotics for mastitis in breastfeeding women
No full textABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Mastitis can be caused by ineffective positioning of the baby at the breast or restricted feeding. Infective mastitis is commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus . The prevalence of mastitis in breastfeeding women may reach 33%. Effective milk removal, pain medication and antibiotic therapy have been the mainstays of treatment. OBJECTIVES: This review aims to examine the effectiveness of antibiotic therapies in relieving symptoms for breastfeeding women with mastitis with or without laboratory investigation. METHODS: Search methods: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (30 September 2012), contacted investigators and other content experts known to us for unpublished trials and scanned the reference lists of retrieved articles. Selection criteria: We selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs comparing the effectiveness of various types of antibiotic therapies or antibiotic therapy versus alternative therapies for the treatment of mastitis. Data collection and analysis: Two review authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. When in dispute, we consulted a third author. MAIN RESULTS: Two trials met the inclusion criteria. One small trial (n = 25) compared amoxicillin with cephradine and found no significant difference between the two antibiotics in terms of symptom relief and abscess formation. Another, older study compared breast emptying alone as 'supportive therapy' versus antibiotic therapy plus supportive therapy, and no therapy. The findings of the latter study suggested faster clearance of symptoms for women using antibiotics, although the study design was problematic. AUTHORS CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence to confirm or refute the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy for the treatment of lactational mastitis. There is an urgent need to conduct high-quality, double-blinded RCTs to determine whether antibiotics should be used in this common postpartum condition
