Mobile Application for Adhering to Diabetic Foot Self-care: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a mobile application for adherence to foot self-care in people with type 2 diabetes at risk for diabetic foot ulcer. A double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted with people with type 2 diabetes in a secondary healthcare unit. A total of 42 patients were recruited, matched, and allocated into two groups: one (intervention group) undergoing standard nursing consultations and application use and the other (control group) receiving only standard nursing consultations. The outcome variable was the adherence to foot self-care, measured by completing questionnaires on diabetes self-care activities and adherence to foot self-care. Measures of central tendency and dispersion were calculated, in addition to bivariate associations, considering a significance level of P ≤ .05. The intragroup and intergroup analyses regarding diabetes self-care did not show statistical significance; however, the intervention group showed a considerable increase in the frequency of daily assessments ( P = .048) and adherence to foot self-care ( P = .046). The use of the app, combined with the nursing consultation, increased adherence to foot self-care of people with type 2 diabetes. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials: U1111-1202-6318.

O coeficiente espacial autorregressivo foi significativo, bem como as variáveis "Taxa de analfabetismo em maiores de 15 anos", "Diagnóstico de sífilis materna durante o pré-natal", "Esquema de tratamento não realizado" e "Média anual da cobertura populacional estimada da ESF". Conclusão As informações evidenciadas são pertinentes ao planejamento e monitoramento da transmissão vertical da sífilis, com direcionamento de recursos a áreas mais vulneráveis visando melhorar o quadro epidemiológico da Sífilis Congênita.

Abstract Background Congenital syphilis (CS) remains a challenge and its occurrence exposes flaws in Brazilian health services. Objective analyze the association between CS incidence and maternal variables, prenatal care, sociodemographic variables and health service coverage indicators, employing spatial analysis, in a region of the Brazilian Northeast. Method Analytical mixed ecological study, with a population composed of all CS cases in the health region between 2010 to 2017, totaling 522 cases. Results Two towns presented the highest incidence rates for CS spatial distribution. Global Moran's I presented a positive spatial association and the Moran and Lisa maps were plotted. The autoregressive spatial coefficient was statistically significant, as well as the variables "Illiteracy rate > 15 years old", "Diagnosis of maternal syphilis during prenatal", "treatment plan not completed" and "Annual average for estimated population coverage of ESF". Conclusion The information presented is relevant for planning and undertaking monitoring of vertical syphilis transmission, targeting resources for more vulnerable areas, and aiming to improve epidemiological outcomes for CS.

Clinical decision support systems for diabetic foot ulcers: a scoping review / Sistemas de apoyo a decisiones clínicas para las úlceras del pie diabético: una revisión de alcance / Sistemas de apoio à decisão clínica em úlceras de pé diabético: revisão de escopo

ABSTRACT Objective: Map the scientific evidence on the use of clinical decision support systems in diabetic foot care. Method: A scoping review based on the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and registered on the Open Science Framework platform. Searches were carried out in primary and secondary sources on prototypes and computerized tools aimed at assisting patients with diabetic foot or at risk of having it, published in any language or period, in eleven databases and grey literature. Results: A total of 710 studies were identified and, following the eligibility criteria, 23 were selected, which portrayed the use of decision support systems in diabetic foot screening, predicting the risk of ulcers and amputations, classifying the stage of severity, deciding on the treatment plan, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions, by processing data relating to clinical and sociodemographic information. Conclusion: Expert systems stand out for their satisfactory results, with high precision and sensitivity when it comes to guiding and qualifying the decision-making process in diabetic foot prevention and care.
