Article Abstract

The advent of electronic storage of medical records and the internet has led to an increase in the use of online medical records, thereby enhancing doctor-patient communication and facilitating medical treatment. Based on demographic and personal behavioral characteristics from the National Cancer Institute's 2019-2020 National Trends in Health Information Survey data, this study explored the characteristics and factors influencing the frequent use of online medical records and compared them with those that do not. By combining traditional statistical tests and two machine learning algorithms, eight variables were identified as key variables in the frequent use of online medical records. These variables were then divided into three influencing factors (latent variables). The structural equation model was used to conduct impact path analysis of the three influencing factors and target variables. The three impact factors were (1) Whether to provide online medical records, (2) Degree of concern for health, and (3) Whether to use internet. This paper proposes recommendations based on the three impact factors, thereby promoting the usefulness of medical records in a larger group of people.

Clinical spectrum of pediatric neutropenia: mostly benign, but not to be overlooked.

Turk J Pediatr

September 2025

Division of Pediatric Hematology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Dokuz Eylül University, İzmir, Türkiye.

Background: Neutropenia is a common laboratory finding in children, therefore it is a common referral reason to pediatric hematology units. This study hypothesizes that most neutropenic children do not require pediatric hematology consultation, and that key clinical indicators can guide the need for referral.

Methods: Medical records of 180 patients who were admitted to a tertiary reference center, were evaluated in terms of demographical data, physical examination findings, laboratory findings, and outcome measures.

Purpose: In Armenia, a lower-middle-income country, cancer causes 21% of all deaths, with over half of cases diagnosed at advanced stages. Without universal health insurance, patients rely on out-of-pocket payments or black-market channels for costly immunotherapies, underscoring the need for real-world data to inform equitable policy reforms.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of patients who received at least one dose of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) between January 2017 and December 2023 across six Armenian oncology centers.

Background And Objectives: Myelitis is a relatively common clinical entity for neurologists, with diverse underlying causes. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of myelitis, its causes, clinical presentation, and factors predicting functional outcomes and relapses.

Methods: Using the Swedish National Patient Registry, we identified all adult patients in Stockholm County between 2008 and 2018 using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10) codes likely to include myelitis.

Capturing the dynamic changes in patients' internal states as they approach death due to fatal diseases remains a major challenge in understanding individual pathologies and improving end-of-life care. However, existing methods primarily focus on specific test values or organ dysfunction markers, failing to provide a comprehensive view of the evolving internal state preceding death. To address this, we analyzed electronic health record (EHR) data from a single institution, including 8,976 cancer patients and 77 laboratory parameters, by constructing continuous mortality prediction models based on gradient-boosting decision trees and leveraging them for temporal analyses.

Vaccine Immunity Against Pneumococcus in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Retrospective Single-center Study.

Pediatr Infect Dis J

September 2025

Division of General Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Unit of Immunology, Vaccinology, and Rheumatology, Geneva University Hospitals and University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.

Background And Aims: Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients are at a higher risk of pneumococcal invasive diseases. Vaccination is the central strategy for protecting these children, along with penicillin prophylaxis. However, it is unclear how often these children should be revaccinated with pneumococcal vaccines.
