In a total of 54 contraindications, the number of missed contraindications was reduced significantly from 23 (42.6 %) to seven (13.0 %) (P = 0.001).
In a total of 26 contraindications, 17 (65 %) are regarding information that can be extracted from medical records reported before the stroke.
There were a total of 54 contraindication items (6 × 9 items) in either the control or iStroke group.
Four mock patient records derived from the stroke registry that contained a total of nine contraindication items in two or more of the hospitals were used for testing purposes.
Patients were excluded if they had no acute trauma or a pathological fracture, received total hip prosthesis, had contraindications regarding the administration of taurine (that is, renal failure defined as a creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min), or did not provide consent.
In conclusion we believe that, after an accurate preoperative evaluation, the age is not a contraindication for total colectomy.
The total number of missed contraindication count was 23 in the control group and was only seven in the iStroke group (P = 0.001).
Early attempts to reconstruct the hips of adults who had high congenital dislocation were unsuccessful owing to the associated anatomical abnormalities (Hartofilakidis et al. 1996), and some authors considered high hip dislocation to be a contraindication for total hip replacement (Charnley and Feagin 1973, Eftekhar 1978).
The system generated a total of 170 alerts of relative contraindications and contraindication for coadministration; 59 (34.7 %) of the corresponding orders were cancelled after the alert was accepted, and 111 (65.3 %) were overridden.
Even in the primary total ankle replacement setting, previous contraindications due to suboptimal bony support may be adequately bypassed, and more patients may benefit from having a custom prosthesis.
