TLDR
Using feedback from older adults, a brochure for communicating bone health information to older adults at risk of osteoporosis and fragility fractures was developed and refined using mixed-method, semistructured interviews.Abstract:
Context Patient education materials can provide important information related to osteoporosis prevention and treatment. However, available osteoporosis education materials fail to follow best-practice guidelines for patient education. Objective To develop an educational brochure on bone health for adults aged 50 years and older using mixed-method, semistructured interviews. Design This project consisted of 3 phases. In Phase 1, we developed written content that included information about osteoporosis. Additionally, we designed 2 graphic-rich brochures, Brochure A (photographs) and Brochure B (illustrations). In Phase 2, interviewers presented the text-only document and both brochure designs to 53 participants from an academic Medical Center in the Midwest and an outpatient clinic in the Southeastern region of the US. Interviewers used open- and closed-ended questions to elicit opinions regarding the brochures. In Phase 3, using feedback from Phase 2, we revised the brochure and presented it to 11 participants at a third site in the Southeastern US. Main outcome measures Participants' comprehension of brochure text and acceptability of brochure design. Results We enrolled 64 participants. Most were women, white, and college-educated, with an average age of 66.1 years. Participants were able to restate the basic content of the brochure and preferred Brochure A's use of photographs. Conclusions Using feedback from older adults, we developed and refined a brochure for communicating bone health information to older adults at risk of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. The methods outlined in this article may serve to guide others in developing health educational brochures for chronic medical conditions.read more

TL;DR: Clinicians and patients can believe that diagnostic imaging is an important tool for locating the source of non-specific low back pain, and patients may underestimate the harms of unnecessary imaging tests.

Balancing measures or a balanced accounting of improvement impact: a qualitative analysis of individual and focus group interviews with improvement experts in Scotland.
TL;DR: It is proposed that improvers and leaders should seek a balanced accounting of all consequences of improvement across the life of an improvement programme, including deliberately pausing after implementation to identify and quantitatively or qualitatively evaluate any pleasant or unpleasant surprises.

TL;DR: The lack of knowledge about the natural history and prognosis of pSS-ILD is the main limitation to the development of clinical trials or shared recommendations on this topic, however, a recent trial showed the efficacy of the antifibrotic drug nintedanib in slowing progression of various ILDs, including those in pSS patients.

TL;DR: The Subjective Numeracy Scale (SNS), an 8-item measure, correlates well with mathematical test measures of objective numeracy but can be administered in less time and with less burden, and shows much lower rates of missing or incomplete data.
