TL;DR: A protocol for the assessment of treatment options and outcomes in recipients with SSD and AHL aims at harmonizing assessment methods across centers and thus at generating a growing body of high-level evidence for those treatment options.

TL;DR: The Hearing Preservation Classification System proposed herein fulfills the following necessary criteria: 1) classification is independent from users' initial hearing, 2) it is appropriate for all cochlear implant users with measurable pre-operative residual hearing, 3) it covers the whole range of pure tone average from 0 to 120 dB; and it is easy to use and easy to understand.

TL;DR: The MACVIA-ARIA Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis (MASK-rhinitis) as discussed by the authors is a simple system centred around the patient which was devised to fill many of these gaps using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools and a clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on the most widely used guideline in allergy and its asthma comorbidity (ARIA 2015 revision).

TL;DR: MASK appears to be an advanced, global and integrated ICT answer for many unmet needs in allergic diseases which will improve policies and standards.

TL;DR: The aim of the novel ARIA approach is to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers, whatever their age, sex or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequalities incurred by the disease.
