0483 CLINICAL TRIAL ENROLLMENT ENRICHMENT IN RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED RESEARCH ENVIRONMENTS: MULTIVARIABLE APNEA PREDICTION INDEX (MAP) IN SCIP-PA TRIAL

diagnostic accuracy of the multivariable apnea prediction (map) index as a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea

background and objective: obstructive sleep apnea (osa) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing. multivariable apnea prediction (map) index consists of three questions about the frequency of osa symptoms plus body mass index (bmi), age and sex that categorizes the patients to low and high risk for osa using a formula. objective map index was calculated by discounting the questions...

Diagnostic Accuracy of the Multivariable Apnea Prediction (MAP) Index as a Screening Tool for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing. Multivariable apnea prediction (MAP) index consists of three questions about the frequency of OSA symptoms plus body mass index (BMI), age and sex that categorizes the patients to low and high risk for OSA using a formula. Objective MAP index was calculated by discounting the questions...

Aromatherapy with Rosa Damascenes in Apnea, Bradycardia and Spo2 of Preterm Infants; a Randomized Clinical Trial

Background  Apnea is one of the most common problems in preterm neonates. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy on the reduction of apnea, bradycardia, and Pulse Oximetry (SPO2) in premature infants. Materials and Methods In a clinical trial study, 60 preterm neonates randomly divided in two groups and exposed to aromatherapy with Rosa damascenes distillate or distilled...

Testing in Resource-Constrained Environments

mHealth in Resource-Constrained Environments

The use of mobile devices in telemedicine contributes to providing more effective and efficient remote healthcare in rural areas improving patients’ life style and medical quality of service in this setting. The idea of creating mobile applications for this scenario led the authors to face important sociotechnical challenges in terms of innovation and design for resource-constrained environment...
