The detailed treatment and risk stratification protocols were described previously.
In accordance with risk stratification protocols, these seven athletes were disqualified from competitive sport (note: one athlete with WPW was successfully ablated and returned to full competition 2 months post-ablation).
In 2006, we developed a web-based Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation JADEE) Program to combine the concepts of risk stratification and protocol-driven care to translate evidence to practice using information technology.
Thus, in the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, an integrated approach including early diagnosis, risk stratification, use of protocols with predefined follow-up schedules, assessments, prompts for intervention further augmented by audits, and patient empowerment is needed to achieve desired outcomes (13).
Of primary concern is recognition or exclusion of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is initiated with risk stratification that encompasses a protocol-driven approach that begins with the patient's history, physical examination, and electrocardiogram, (ECG) [1].
Studies should distinguish between sub-categories of preterm birth (i.e., extremely preterm, very preterm, and moderate to late preterm) to add greater specificity to the existing literature and further inform the development of clinical risk stratification and risk management protocols.
We found that for children with ALL, a risk stratification system based on treatment protocol as recorded in a population-based pediatric cancer registry was a valid proxy of disease risk as compared to biology-based risk algorithms.
The incidence of preeclampsia (PE) is markedly increased in Type 1 diabetes (T1DM); however, no specific protocols exist for risk stratification or maternal and fetal surveillance, both of which may improve outcomes in this group.
We conclude that NIRS-derived measurements, including those that are part of a VOT protocol, hold promise for risk stratification and patient assessment in the ED.
Based on this risk stratification, the JADE e-portal recommends a care protocol tailored to these risk levels with decision support triggered by various risk factors.
