RESUMEN

This study aimed at assessing the extent to which the general Saudi population has embraced digital health medical applications to meet their health-related needs so that the Saudi Ministry of Health and government can appropriately be guided on scaling up digital health across the country. As such, this study was guided by the question of to what extent the Saudi people use digital health mobile-based applications. This was a cross-sectional study utilizing snowballing sampling approach. Frequencies, Chi-square, and Spearman rank correlation statistics were used to offer descriptive and inferential analysis of the variables. The majority of the participants were economically able to afford smart devices that have medical apps, had at least an app on such devices, and highly regarded the benefits of the apps. Unfortunately, their understanding of how to use such apps was limited, and this posed a barrier to embracing digital health alongside difficulty downloading apps and medical ethical concerns. Although there is a willingness, extra effort is needed from the Saudi Ministry of Health and the government to promote the uptake of digital health in Saudi Arabia.

RESUMEN

Factors like parent satisfaction and expert opinion have been proposed as outcome measures related to craniosynostosis (CS) surgery. However, there is no real tangible score for CS surgery outcomes. In our study, we aimed to explore different factors considered as a tangible outcome measure of CS surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 23 patients with CS who were operated on in a tertiary care university hospital. Parents were interviewed to assess their satisfaction of aesthetic outcome. This was correlated to two expert opinions and to the amount of skull expansion. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 2.24 ± 1.12 years. Twelve of the 23 fathers were satisfied, whereas 11 of the 23 mothers were satisfied. The overall combined satisfaction rate of both parents was on the higher side with no difference in between. There was a significant association between expansion rate of 7.65 ± 4.99% and the overall parent's satisfaction (P = 0.002). Additionally, there was a good correlation between both experts with statistically significant association (P = 0.004). No correlation was found between the parents' satisfaction and the experts' opinions. Conclusions: The study is valuable, as it investigates the relationship between the expansion rate, parents' satisfaction, and expert opinion as predicted values of craniosynostosis surgery. The overall satisfaction correlated significantly well with the expansion rate. However, such numerical assessment is not a real guide for assessing clinical outcomes' as no association was found between expansion rate, satisfaction rate, and expert opinion.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in Saudi Arabia and assess the need for an SCH screening program. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at King Abdulaziz Medical City and the Khashmulaan Clinic at the National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in August 2016. All women attending the antenatal clinics were  invited to participate in the study. In addition, data were retrieved from the files of pregnant women who had been screened for hypothyroidism from January 2016 to August 2016. A total of 384 pregnant women were included in the study. Results: The prevalence of SCH in pregnant women in this study was 50/384 (13%) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs): 9.82%-16.80%. Pregnant women who were randomly screened using a survey (n=127) were 3 times more likely (OR: 3.1; 95% CI:  1.182 to 8.704, p=0.022) to have SCH compared to pregnant women who were screened based on their physician's judgement (n=257). Results showed older age (≥40 years) was associated with an insignificant decrease in the risk of SCH. Conclusion: Random screening for SCH in pregnant women showed a higher prevalence in comparison to women who were screened as a result of physician referrals. The results highlight the urgent need for larger studies to investigate the prevalence of SCH as well as the need for an SCH screening program.
