Measuring patient-centred system performance: a scoping review of patient-centred care quality indicators. The shift to the patient-centred care (PCC) model as a healthcare delivery paradigm calls for systematic measurement and evaluation. In an attempt to develop patient-centred quality indicators (PC-QIs), this study aimed to identify quality indicators that can be used to measure PCC.Design: scoping review.studies were identified through searching seven electronic databases and the grey (...) -reviewed articles were assessed for eligibility for inclusion; of these, 9 articles were included in this review. From the non-peer-reviewed literature, eight documents met the criteria for inclusion in this study. This review revealed the heterogeneity describing and defining the nature of PC-QIs. Most PC-QIs were presented as PCC measures and identified as guidelines, surveys or recommendations, and therefore cannot be classified as actual PC-QIs. Out of 502 ways to measure PCC, only 25 were

146. CHOROIDAL AND RETINAL THICKNESS IN SYSTEMIC AUTOIMMUNE AND INFLAMMATORY DISEASES: A REVIEW. (Abstract)
CHOROIDAL AND RETINAL THICKNESS IN SYSTEMIC AUTOIMMUNE AND INFLAMMATORY DISEASES: A REVIEW. In order to identify the risk of relapse and subclinical inflammatory stages of systemic autoimmune diseases, new tools are needed. In the recent years, choroidal and retinal thickness measured with ocular coherence tomography (OCT) have been proposed as an inflammatory marker for different systemic diseases, especially for conditions with a vascular component. Our aim in this article was to review (...) the literature regarding the role of choroidal and retinal thickness as a potential inflammatory marker in systemic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases measured by OCT. Current literature suggests that the choroid of patients thickens in active phases of inflammatory diseases with vascular involvement. This pattern is observed in lupus, systemic sclerosis, Behçet disease, spondylitis, and familial Mediterranean fever. Choroidal thickness may decrease with biological treatments, along with systemic

147. Targeting the Immune System in Atherosclerosis: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. (Abstract)
Targeting the Immune System in Atherosclerosis: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. Atherosclerosis has long been known as an inflammatory disease. However, whether targeting inflammation improves outcomes was unproven until the recent results of CANTOS (Canakinumab Anti-Inflammatory Thrombosis Outcomes Study). In this review, we reflect on why it has taken a long time to prove the inflammatory hypothesis of atherosclerosis and derive important lessons for the future. In particular, we discuss (...) the off-target immune-modulatory effects of approved cardiovascular therapies, review the attempted anti-inflammatory therapies including the recently published CIRT (Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial), and discuss the likely reasons for their failures. We further build on CANTOS to review the immune-modulatory therapies for atherosclerosis currently in trials, and discuss the likelihood of their added value as well as the potential hazard associated with their use. We finally argue

148. Bed rest and accelerated aging in relation to the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems and frailty biomarkers: A review. (Abstract)
Bed rest and accelerated aging in relation to the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems and frailty biomarkers: A review. Prolonged bed rest and lifelong physical inactivity cause deleterious effects to multiple physiological systems that appear to hasten aging processes. Many such changes are similar to those seen with microgravity in space, but at a much faster rate. Head down tilt bed rest models are used to study whole-body changes that occur with spaceflight. We propose that bed rest (...) can be used to quantify accelerated human aging in relation to frailty. In particular, frailty as a measure of the accumulation of deficits estimates the variability in aging across systems, and moves away from the traditional single-system approach. Here, we provide an overview of the impact of bed rest on the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems as well as frailty-related biological markers and inflammatory cytokines. We also propose future inquiries to study the accumulation of deficits

151. Mapping the use of soft systems methodology for change management in healthcare: a scoping review protocol. Full Text available with Trip Pro
Mapping the use of soft systems methodology for change management in healthcare: a scoping review protocol. It is notoriously challenging to implement evidence-based care and to update and improve healthcare practices. One reason for the difficulty is the complexity of healthcare and the powerful influence of context on implementation and improvement efforts. Thus, there is a need for multifaceted, flexible change methods that takes these complexities into consideration. One approach that has (...) the potential in this regard is soft systems methodology (SSM). However, little is known about how SSM has been applied in healthcare settings, making it difficult to assess the usefulness of SSM for implementation science or improvement research. The aim of the proposed scoping review is to examine and map the use and outcomes of SSM in healthcare.The review will adapt the framework outlined by Arksey and O'Malley (2005).

157. Review article: shared disease mechanisms between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome - translating knowledge from systems biology to the bedside. (Abstract)
Review article: shared disease mechanisms between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome - translating knowledge from systems biology to the bedside. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Characterised by abnormal fat accumulation in the liver, NAFLD presents high degree of comorbidity with disorders of the metabolic syndrome, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. These comorbidities have (...) strong negative impact on the natural course of NAFLD and vice versa, whereby the presence of NAFLD substantially modifies the course and prognosis of metabolic syndrome-associated diseases.To use systems biology strategies to interrogate disease mechanisms that are common to NAFLD and metabolic syndrome.We mapped shared gene/protein-disease interaction networks, we performed gene-disease enrichment analysis to assess pleiotropy, and we created a gene-drug connectivity network.We found that a shared

158. The Relevance of the Judet and Letournel Acetabular Fracture Classification System in the Modern Era: A Review. (Abstract)
The Relevance of the Judet and Letournel Acetabular Fracture Classification System in the Modern Era: A Review. The Judet and Letournel acetabular fracture classification system, based on the idea of bicolumnar support of the acetabulum, was first described in a landmark article published in the 1960s. It has stood the test of time and continues to be the preferred method for describing acetabular fractures for the majority of orthopaedic trauma surgeons. Still, there have been attempts (...) to modify or replace Letournel system since its introduction for a variety of reasons, chief among them a perceived inability of the classification system to account for a number of transitional fracture patterns and injury modifiers that may affect surgical decision making and patient outcomes. In this review, we present the literature related to the Judet and Letournel acetabular fracture classification system, over 50 years after its first formal description. We summarize its strengths, weaknesses
