Article Abstract

Completing self-administered patient experience surveys is challenging for many patients. We randomized adult patients receiving care from an urban safety net provider to complete the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Clinician and Group Survey 3.1 (CG-CAHPS 3.1), or an "EZ" survey created using plain language principles. We compared response rates, item missingness, item-scale correlations, and reliability of patient experience scores based on 264 completed surveys (64% female, 66% Hispanic, 33% high school education or less). The CG-CAHPS 3.1 survey response rate was higher (20% vs 16%), and failure to follow skip instructions was more common for the EZ survey. Internal consistency reliability for multi-item scales was similar, but provider-level reliability was higher for the EZ than for the CG-CAHPS 3.1 survey measures. Cognitive interviews with patients are needed to assess whether the wording of the EZ survey is responsible for the lower response rates and more skip pattern errors. Future studies are also required to provide additional information about the psychometric properties of the CG-CAHPS 3.1 and EZ surveys.

Characterization of Mannheimia haemolytica pleuropneumonia outbreaks in Dutch dairy cattle.

J Dairy Sci

September 2025

Royal GD, 7418 EZ Deventer, the Netherlands; Department Population Health Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, 3584 CM Utrecht, the Netherlands; Department of Animal Sciences, Wageningen University and Research, 6708 PB Wageningen, the Netherlands.

Respiratory tract infections remain a major challenge in cattle production, particularly in calves, but increasingly in adult dairy cows. Over the past decade, outbreaks of fatal Mannheimia haemolytica fibrinous pleuropneumonia (FPP) emerged in dairy herds in the Netherlands, with similar occurrences reported in other countries. The objective of this case-referent study was to describe the characteristics of these outbreaks and the circumstances under which they occur.

Introduction: The food environment is an important determinant of children's eating behavior. Improving the environment to encourage healthier choices is crucial to prevent obesity, especially in restaurants where the majority of kids' menus are unhealthy. This study explored the perceptions, attitudes, motivations, influencing factors, and opportunities of restaurant owners, managers, and chefs for implementing healthier kids' menus in Dutch restaurants.

Background: For patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is an effective treatment to control seizures. Accurate localization of the EZ is crucial and is typically achieved through comprehensive presurgical approaches such as seizure semiology interpretation, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and intracranial EEG (iEEG). However, interpreting seizure semiology is challenging because it heavily relies on expert knowledge.

Physical well-being and burden of care in adults on modulator therapy: A mixed methods study of patient-reported experiences from the Well-ME survey.

J Cyst Fibros

July 2025

The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Level 5 WTRB, One Medical Center Drive, Lebanon, NH, USA.

Background: Despite widespread availability of modulator therapies and improved lung function in many people with cystic fibrosis (CF), physical symptoms may remain burdensome for some people with CF (PwCF). This study identifies the impact of ivacaftor (IVA) and elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) on self-reported physical well-being and burden of care among adults with CF.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Well-ME Survey.
