Abstract Background Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for patients with obesity. After surgery, lifelong follow-up care recommended to improve weight-loss outcomes. However, attendance low, and reasons have yet be determined. Therefore, present study aimed identify patients’ expectations perspectives on after bariatric current unmet needs ways increase attendance. Methods Patients who underwent at a university medical center attended least one appointment completed an online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of open-ended questions regarding care. Content analysis was applied qualitatively analyze results. Results In total, 164 responded question (participation rate 50.1%). On average, had three appointments time study. Expectations concerning content included regular examinations, blood tests, psychological nutritional counseling support. Notably, criticized its lack support, many suggesting that these services incorporated. Interestingly, rarely connected better Regular laboratory results were among positive aspects Conclusions mostly related few seemed recognize importance improved educating about critical role might also lead more successful long-term

Background: The use of virtual care (VC) among individuals with chronic disease is well-documented, yet evidence on quality outcomes, such as frequency subsequent hospitalizations, emergency department (ED) visits, and mortality, fragmented. This systematic review aimed to synthesize namely outpatient encounters, hospital admissions, ED associated VC outpatients diseases. Methods: A search strategy was developed applied six electronic databases (Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Web Science, CINAHL) for articles published between January 1, 2013 July 6, 2024. Eligible studies included synchronous (e.g., live, video, or audio based) a patient health provider. narrative synthesis compared in-person care, considering types specialty, components, follow-up duration, outcomes. Results: After reviewing 5,679 abstracts, 24 were included. Studies predominantly from United States (n = 11), followed by Australia 3) Canada 2). durations ranged 2 weeks years, 14 having 6 months less. reported no difference lower rates admissions 18/20), visits 11/12), mortality 12/14) who used those had visits. Half 3/6) more encounters patients using initial encounter Conclusion: indicated that fewer different volume people conditions but may be an increased number Robust research at scale considers consumed associations outcomes over longer periods required.

Introduction The rising number of outpatient spine surgeries creates challenges in postoperative management and care. Telemedicine offers a unique opportunity to reduce in-person clinic visits improve resource allocation. We aimed investigate the impact validated smartphone application on utilization following full-endoscopic surgery (FESS). Methods evaluated patients undergoing FESS from 2020 2022 pre-COVID control group (CG) 2018 2019. Subsequently, we divided into three groups: one using (intervention group, IG), two CGs (2020–2022, CG 2018–2019, historical (HG)). analyzed post-surgical hospitalization rate, all follow-ups, virtually transmitted patient-reported outcomes. Results A total 115 were included IG. consisted 137 HG 202 (CG following). Group homogeneity was satisfactory regarding patient age ( p = 0.9), sex 0.88), body mass index 0.99). IG treated as outpatients significantly more often [14.78% vs. 29.2% 37.62% < 0.001)]. Additionally, showed higher follow-up compliance [74.78% 40.14% 37.13% 0.001)] 3-month post-surgery fewer in-patient [(0.5 ± 0.85 1.32 0.8 1.33 0.7 Conclusion Our results underline feasibility, efficacy, safety remote monitoring FESS. Furthermore, they highlight implement virtual wound checkup, substantially via telemedicine.
