It was split into six main headings, section numbers were introduced (see figure 6) and an index ('In this leaflet ') was added to aid navigation.
BMI, Body mass index; PIL, Patient information leaflet.
Overall, the average anisotropy index was found to be higher for all leaflets in the pressurized valves as compared to the non-pressurized valves, indicating that the ECM fibers became more aligned in response to an increased ventricular pressure.
Since patient interviews were performed six weeks after the index-consultation, the few patients who received a leaflet may have forgotten its use and content.
Although the mean parent-reported weight was slightly more underestimated in the intervention group (that received the instruction leaflet for measuring weight) than in the control group relative to the index weights, the correlations between the parental reports and the index measurements were higher in the intervention group than in the control group.
Caries experience, as measured by the dmft index, was recorded in a standard WHO form distributed with the methodology leaflet.
For the pressurized valve, the average values of the anisotropy index in the belly region of the anterior, posterior, and septal leaflets were 56±± 5%, 39 ±7%and32±5% ± 5%, respectively.
Alongside its web-based drugs info search engine, which we previously likened to indexing the patient information leaflets that come with prescription medication, Diagnosia's two primary apps for physicians are Diagnosia Index, and Diagnosia Check.
ACR: American College of Rheumatology; BHPR: British Health Professionals in Rheumatology; BMI: Body mass index; BSR British Society for Rheumatology CVDVD: Cardiovascular disease; EGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate; EULAR: European League Against Rheumatism; PIL: Patient information leaflet; QOF: Quality and outcomes framework; SUA: Serum uric acid; ULT: Urate-lowering therapy.
The readability of each leaflet was assessed using the Flesch Reading Ease instrument, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) index.
