A prospective 2-group randomized trial found that the Safety in Dementia (SiD) online decision aid increased preparation for decision making about firearm access for those caring for people with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD). The SiD decision aid is broken down into 5 major sections that address general safety in dementia, firearms, driving, home safety, and additional resources and then has a specific firearms section with scenarios and solutions for caregivers. According to the researchers, use of this type of resource in clinical or community settings may support caregivers and people with ADRD in avoiding firearm injury or death https://lnkd.in/eb3FV7YK University of Colorado School of Medicine

A single-center study analyzed a program leveraging hospitalist end-of-week care transitions to better identify diagnostic errors and possible causes in hospitalized patients. The data revealed that using care transitions to identify diagnostic errors is a feasible process and yields a lower rate of attributable errors than in other studies. https://lnkd.in/dASf7vJZ Gopi Astik

A systematic review of randomized clinical trials comparing computer-aided detection (CADe) system-enhanced colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy found that CADe (also known as artificial Intelligence- or AI-assisted) colonoscopies may increase overall detection of colonic polyps and adenomas, or precancerous growths, with a small increase in procedure time. Equivocal results were found regarding detection of advanced colonic neoplasia, with a small increase in ACN detection rate but no difference in ACN detected per colonoscopy https://lnkd.in/eZ4bYfgn Yale School of Medicine
