Subjects
*HEART assist devices, *READABILITY (Literary style), *HIGH school students, *SEARCH engines
Abstract

Background: As patients seek online health information to supplement their medical decision‐making, the aim of this study is to assess the quality and readability of internet information on the left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Methods: Three online search engines (Google, Bing, and Yahoo) were searched for "LVAD" and "Left ventricular assist device." Included websites were classified as academic, foundation/advocacy, hospital‐affiliated, commercial, or unspecified. The quality of information was assessed using the JAMA benchmark criteria (0–4), DISCERN tool (16–80), and the presence of Health On the Net code (HONcode) accreditation. Readability was assessed using the Flesch Reading Ease score. Results: A total of 38 unique websites were included. The average JAMA and DISCERN scores of all websites were 0.82 ± 1.11 and 52.45 ± 13.51, respectively. Academic sites had a significantly lower JAMA mean score than commercial (p < 0.001) and unspecified (p < 0.001) websites, as well as a significantly lower DISCERN, mean score than commercial sites (p = 0.002). HONcode certification was present in 6 (15%) websites analyzed, which had significantly higher JAMA (p < 0.001) and DISCERN (p < 0.016) mean scores than sites without HONcode certification. Readability was fairly difficult and at the level of high school students. Conclusions: The quality of online information on the LVAD is variable, and overall readability exceeds the recommended level for the public. Patients accessing online information on the LVAD should be referred to sites with HONcode accreditation. Academic institutions must provide higher quality online patient literature on LVADs.

39. A Systematic Review of Immersive Virtual Reality for Non-Technical Skills Training in Surgery

Author

Yi, William S., Rouhi, Armaun D., Duffy, Caoimhe C., Ghanem, Yazid K., Williams, Noel N., and Dumon, Kristoffel R.

Abstract

•Non-technical skill uses of immersive virtual reality in surgical education encompass applications that inform clinical decision making and anatomy/preoperative planning.•The mean Medical Education Research Quality Instrument (MERSQI) score of studies utilizing immersive virtual reality applications for surgical education was 10.3 ± 2.3 (max 18).•A wide variety of head mounted display technologies were utilized in immersive virtual reality studies, with the Oculus Rift being the most common.•Most immersive virtual reality studies utilized non-commercial software.

Abstract

Background: Compared to controlled donation after cardiac death (cDCD), uncontrolled DCD (uDCD) kidney transplantation remains an underutilized resource in the United States. However, it is unclear whether long-term allograft outcomes following uDCD are inferior to that of cDCD kidney transplantation., Methods: From January 1995 to January 2018, the OPTN/UNOS database was queried to discover all reported cases of uDCD and cDCD kidney transplantation. Primary non-function, delayed graft function, ten-year graft and patient survival were compared among uDCD and cDCD patients., Results: Rates of primary non-function (4.0% [uDCD] vs. 1.8% [cDCD], P < 0.001) and delayed graft function (51.1% [uDCD] vs. 41.7% [cDCD], P < 0.001) were higher following uDCD transplant. However, ten-year graft survival (47.5% [uDCD] vs. 48.4% [cDCD], P = 0.21) and patient survival were similar to cDCD transplantation (59.4% [uDCD] vs. 59.2% [cDCD], P = 0.32)., Conclusion: Although initial allograft outcomes are inferior following uDCD, long-term durability of uDCD kidney allografts is on par to cDCD transplantation. Kidney allografts derived by uDCD may be a viable and durable option to increase the donor pool., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest All authors have no conflicts of interest to declare., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
