RESUMEN

Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) represent an enormous burden for patients, healthcare workers, relatives and society worldwide, including Germany. The central tasks of infection prevention are recording and evaluating infections with the aim of identifying prevention potential and risk factors, taking appropriate measures and finally evaluating them. From an infection prevention perspective, it would be of great value if (i) the recording of infection cases was automated and (ii) if it were possible to identify particularly vulnerable patients and patient groups in advance, who would benefit from specific and/or additional interventions.To achieve this risk-adapted, individualized infection prevention, the RISK PRINCIPE research project develops algorithms and computer-based applications based on standardised, large datasets and incorporates expertise in the field of infection prevention.The project has two objectives: a) to develop and validate a semi-automated surveillance system for hospital-acquired bloodstream infections, prototypically for HCAI, and b) to use comprehensive patient data from different sources to create an individual or group-specific infection risk profile.RISK PRINCIPE is based on bringing together the expertise of medical informatics and infection medicine with a focus on hygiene and draws on information and experience from two consortia (HiGHmed and SMITH) of the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII), which have been working on use cases in infection medicine for more than five years.

RESUMEN

Integration of free texts from reports written by physicians to an interoperable standard is important for improving patient-centric care and research in the medical domain. In the context of unstructured clinical data, NLP Information Extraction serves in finding information in unstructured text. To our best knowledge, there is no efficient solution, in which extracted Named-Entities of an NLP pipeline can be ad-hoc inserted in openEHR compositions. We therefore developed a software solution that solves this data integration problem by mapping Named-Entities of an NLP pipeline to the fields of an openEHR template. The mapping can be accomplished by any user without any programming intervention and allows the ad-hoc creation of a composition based on the mappings.

RESUMEN

The DR.BEAT project aims to develop an accelerometer-based, wearable sensor system for measuring ballistocardiographic (BCG) signals, coupled with signal processing and visualization, to support cardiac health monitoring. A rule-based heartbeat detection was developed to enable the derivation of health parameters independent of an existing reference. This paper outlines the algorithm's methodology and provides an initial evaluation of its performance based on seismocardiographic (SCG) measurements obtained from an initial study involving twelve heart-healthy adults. On average, 87.6% of the heartbeats over all measurements, 97.6% of the heartbeats at rest and 71.9% of the heartbeats during physical stress could be detected.

RESUMEN

Cochlear implants can provide an advanced treatment option to restore hearing. In standard pre-implant procedures, many factors are already considered, but it seems that not all underlying factors have been identified yet. One reason is the low quality of the conventional computed tomography images taken before implantation, making it difficult to assess these parameters. A novel method is presented that uses the Pietsch Model, a well-established model of the human cochlea, as well as landmark-based registration to address these challenges. Different landmark numbers and placements are investigated by visually comparing the mean error per landmark and the registrations' results. The landmarks on the first cochlear turn and the apex are difficult to discern on a low-resolution CT scan. It was possible to achieve a mean error markedly smaller than the image resolution while achieving a good visual fit on a cochlear segment and directly in the conventional computed tomography image. The employed cochlear model adjusts image resolution problems, while the effort of setting landmarks is markedly less than the segmentation of the whole cochlea. As a next step, the specific parameters of the patient could be extracted from the adapted model, which enables a more personalized implantation with a presumably better outcome.

RESUMEN

The COVID-19 Research Network Lower Saxony (COFONI) is a German state network of experts in Coronavirus research and development of strategies for future pandemics. One of the pillars of the COFONI technology platform is its established research data repository (Available at https://forschungsdb.cofoni.de/), which enables provision of pseudonymised data and cross-location data retrieval for heterogeneous datasets. The platform consistently uses open standards (openEHR) and open source components (EHRbase) for its data repository, taking into account the FAIR criteria. Available data include both clinical and socio-demographic patient information. A comprehensive AQL query builder interface and an integrated research request process enable new research approaches, rapid cohort assembly and customized data export for researchers from participating institutions. Our flexible and scalable platform approach can be regarded as a blueprint. It contributes, to pandemic preparedness by providing easily accessible cross-location research data in a fully standardised and open representation.

RESUMEN

Large population-based cohort studies utilizing device-based measures of physical activity are crucial to close important research gaps regarding the potential protective effects of physical activity on chronic diseases. The present study details the quality control processes and the derivation of physical activity metrics from 100 Hz accelerometer data collected in the German National Cohort (NAKO). During the 2014 to 2019 baseline assessment, a subsample of NAKO participants wore a triaxial ActiGraph accelerometer on their right hip for seven consecutive days. Auto-calibration, signal feature calculations including Euclidean Norm Minus One (ENMO) and Mean Amplitude Deviation (MAD), identification of non-wear time, and imputation, were conducted using the R package GGIR version 2.10-3. A total of 73,334 participants contributed data for accelerometry analysis, of whom 63,236 provided valid data. The average ENMO was 11.7 ± 3.7 mg (milli gravitational acceleration) and the average MAD was 19.9 ± 6.1 mg. Notably, acceleration summary metrics were higher in men than women and diminished with increasing age. Work generated in the present study will facilitate harmonized analysis, reproducibility, and utilization of NAKO accelerometry data. The NAKO accelerometry dataset represents a valuable asset for physical activity research and will be accessible through a specified application process.
