RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality in America and has increased in the incidence of cases over the last several years. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases survival outcomes in cases of cardiac arrest; however, healthcare workers often do not perform CPR within recommended guidelines. Real-time audiovisual feedback (RTAVF) devices improve the quality of CPR performed. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effect of RTAVF-assisted CPR with conventional CPR and to evaluate whether the use of these devices improved outcomes in both in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. AIM: To identify the effect of RTAVF-assisted CPR on patient outcomes and CPR quality with in- and OHCA. METHODS: We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE from inception to July 27, 2020, for studies comparing patient outcomes and/or CPR quality metrics between RTAVF-assisted CPR and conventional CPR in cases of IHCA or OHCA. The primary outcomes of interest were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge (SHD), with secondary outcomes of chest compression rate and chest compression depth. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Cochrane Collaboration's "risk of bias" tool. Data was analyzed using R statistical software 4.2.0. results were statistically significant if P < 0.05. RESULTS: Thirteen studies (n = 17600) were included. Patients were on average 69 ± 17.5 years old, with 7022 (39.8%) female patients. Overall pooled ROSC in patients in this study was 37% (95% confidence interval = 23%-54%). RTAVF-assisted CPR significantly improved ROSC, both overall [risk ratio (RR) 1.17 (1.001-1.362); P = 0.048] and in cases of IHCA [RR 1.36 (1.06-1.80); P = 0.002]. There was no significant improvement in ROSC for OHCA (RR 1.04; 0.91-1.19; P = 0.47). No significant effect was seen in SHD [RR 1.04 (0.91-1.19); P = 0.47] or chest compression rate [standardized mean difference (SMD) -2.1; (-4.6-0.5)]; P = 0.09]. A significant improvement was seen in chest compression depth [SMD 1.6; (0.02-3.1); P = 0.047]. CONCLUSION: RTAVF-assisted CPR increases ROSC in cases of IHCA and chest compression depth but has no significant effect on ROSC in cases of OHCA, SHD, or chest compression rate.
RESUMO
Background: Childhood obesity (CO) is rapidly increasing in prevalence and developing into a health crisis of developed nations. The condition is associated with increased risk of developing various comorbidities later in life. Current treatment algorithms primarily target family education. Thus, this study aims to understand the quality of information online regarding CO and common comorbidities, determine the readability of online information, and report patterns in public interest over time using Google Trends. Methods: Four validated quality of information tools and 6 readability tools were implemented across 36 websites derived from 4 Google searches. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the associations between Google Trends' relative search volumes (RSVs) and biennial BMI-based cumulative proportion of CO. Results: Results showed variable information quality among the websites as scores ranged from "fair" to "very poor." Using six readability formulas, no website scored at or below the sixth grade reading level recommended by the American Medical Association. Google Trends' RSVs for the term "Childhood Obesity" were repeatedly increased in the months that fall in the US academic school year (October-November and February-May), and decreased within months in the US vacation periods (December-January and June-September). Search volumes were also negatively correlated with CO and pediatric type 2 diabetes prevalence. Conclusions: In summary, while Google Trends analysis showed that schools may play a role in increasing interest and awareness online, quality of information and readability analysis displayed that the information and its accessibility are far too variable to be reliable.
