We developed an online tool that enables practitioners to assess child weight status, estimate weight-related health risk and provide personalised evidence-based advice to families.
CATCH incorporates national clinical guidelines for the assessment and management of childhood obesity 16 and risk stratification based on analysis of population-based data, 17 and enables practitioners to provide personalised, evidence-based advice to families.
Despite a growing evidence base, personalised one-to-one activities are rarely implemented in aged care facilities as they require extra time and resources that are often not available.
Limitations in the evidence and personalised trade-offs between quantity and quality of life mean that no one therapy can be considered the preferred treatment for all men (Wilt et al, 2008).
There is a growing body of evidence that smaller, personalised services produce better outcomes, save money and are extremely popular with service users.
It is important that the boys who develop psychopathology receive evidence-based treatments personalised to their clinical presentation rather than general counselling advice related to copying with distress or interventions with poor evidence base.
By applying the soft evidence in the BN, personalised posterior probability distributions of Category node can be generated.
The study provides empirical evidence on the value of personalised risk information from the patient perspective, and identifies previously unexamined barriers to effective use of this information.
Kalsbeek and Joens reported some evidence of increased retention by providing personalised information in letters, however as this was combined with non-monetary incentives, determining the true effect of personalization was difficult[ 23].
"One can foresee the further expansion of PET imaging based personalised management of cancer, which, based on the strong evidence generated through a number of clinical studies and by its ability to monitor disease activity at the individual level, is likely to be increasingly integrated into the standard evidence-based clinical practice of oncology" [22].
Patients with prostate cancer appear to have little experience using personalised risk information, may favour heuristic-based over risk-based decision-making strategies and may perceive personalised risk information as less valuable than other types of evidence.
