| 8 | Emergency department patient experience:Same location,same provider,different scores by different survey methods显示文摘BACKGROUND: Recent findings on emergency department (ED) patient experience surveys and concerns for the low response rates challenge the quality and reliability of the survey reports. We assessed the consistency of an ED patient experience survey report and identifi ed the effects of patient demographics on ED patient experiences. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional study at a university-based ED from July to December 2017. We obtained ED patient experience scores from an institutional version (IS) survey and the Press Ganey Associates-distributed survey (PGA). We compared top box scores from the two reports using frequency analysis and performed multivariable logistic regressions to identify associations between IS patient demographics and scores. RESULTS: We obtained 289 PGA and 234 IS responses. The IS reported signifi cant, higher top box scores in doctor-specifi c patient questions compared to PGA (all four P-values < 0.01). Female, Christian and White patients were more likely to give top box scores (OR 3.07, OR 2.22 and OR 2.41, P-value < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION: We found significant differences in ED patient experience scores between the IS and PGA surveys. We recommend that healthcare providers consider patient demographic variables when interpreting ED experience score reports. Multiple survey techniques and distribution methods may be adopted to best capture ED patient experiences. | Wirachin Hoonpongsimanont Preet Kaur Sahota Yanjun Chen Maria Nguyen Christine Louis Jonathan Pena Andrew Wong Maxwell Jen | 2019 | World Journal of Emergency Medicine2019,10,3: | 1 |

| 19 | Modular micro-PCR system for the onsite rapid diagnosis of COVID-19显示文摘Effective containment of the COVID-19 pandemic requires rapid and accurate detection of the pathogen.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)remains the gold standard for COVID-19 confirmation.In this article,we report the performance of a cost-effective modular microfluidic reverse transcription(RT)-PCR and RT-loop mediated isothermal amplification(RTLAMP)platform,Epidax®,for the point-of-care testing and confirmation of SARS-CoV-2.This platform is versatile and can be reconfigured either for screening using endpoint RT-PCR or RT-LAMP tests or for confirmatory tests using realtime RT-PCR.Epidax®is highly sensitive and detects as little as 1 RNA copy perµL for real-time and endpoint RT-PCR,while using only half of the reagents.We achieved comparable results with those of a commercial platform when detecting SARS-CoV-2 viruses from 81 clinical RNA extracts.Epidax®can also detect SARS-CoV-2 from 44 nasopharyngeal samples without RNA extraction by using a direct RT-PCR assay,which shortens the sample-to-answer time to an hour with minimal user steps.Furthermore,we validated the technology using an RT-LAMP assay on 54 clinical RNA extracts.Overall,our platform provides a sensitive,cost-effective,and accurate diagnostic solution for lowresource settings. | Phuong Quoc Mai Nguyen Ming Wang Nelisha Ann Maria Adelicia Yongling Li Hsih Yin Tan Gordon Minru Xiong Meng-Kwang Marcus Tan Ali Asgar S.Bhagat Catherine W.M.Ong Chwee Teck Lim | 2022 | Microsystems & Nanoengineering2022,8,4: | 0 |
