1. Prediction of health information-seeking behavior components based on
health anxiety among users of public libraries.
Musarezaie N, Samouei R, Shahrzadi L, Ashrafi-Rizi H
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to predict health information-seeking
behavior (HISB) components based on health anxiety among users of public
libraries.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research was a descriptive-correlational study.
The statistical population consisted of users of public libraries. Data
collection tools included the HISB questionnaire and the Short Form of
Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI).
RESULTS: The results indicated that health anxiety was a significant
predictor of the components of HISB. The illness likelihood had a direct
relationship with the components of the need for health information and the
purposefulness of health information seeking, and it was inversely related
to barriers to obtaining health information. In addition, the preoccupation
with illness was directly related to the components of the need for health
information, the diversity of health information sources, the time of
referring to health information sources, the purposefulness of health
information seeking, and evaluation of reasons for referring to the library.
CONCLUSION: Among the components of health anxiety, preoccupation to the
disease has the highest role in the emergence of users' information-seeking
behavior.

2. Recursive patterns in online echo chambers.
Brugnoli E, Cinelli M, Quattrociocchi W, Scala A
Despite their entertainment oriented purpose, social media changed the way
users access information, debate, and form their opinions. Recent studies,
indeed, showed that users online tend to promote their favored narratives
and thus to form polarized groups around a common system of beliefs.
Confirmation bias helps to account for users' decisions about whether to
spread content, thus creating informational cascades within identifiable
communities. At the same time, aggregation of favored information within
those communities reinforces selective exposure and group polarization.
Along this path, through a thorough quantitative analysis we approach
connectivity patterns of 1.2 M Facebook users engaged with two very
conflicting narratives: scientific and conspiracy news. Analyzing such data,
we quantitatively investigate the effect of two mechanisms (namely challenge
avoidance and reinforcement seeking) behind confirmation bias, one of the
major drivers of human behavior in social media. We find that challenge
avoidance mechanism triggers the emergence of two distinct and polarized
groups of users (i.e., echo chambers) who also tend to be surrounded by
friends having similar systems of beliefs. Through a network based approach,
we show how the reinforcement seeking mechanism limits the influence of
neighbors and primarily drives the selection and diffusion of contents even
among like-minded users, thus fostering the formation of highly polarized
sub-clusters within the same echo chamber. Finally, we show that polarized
users reinforce their preexisting beliefs by leveraging the activity of
their like-minded neighbors, and this trend grows with the user engagement
suggesting how peer influence acts as a support for reinforcement seeking.

3. A Review of the PubMed PICO Tool: Using Evidence-Based Practice in
Health Education.
Brown D
The PubMed PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) tool from the
National Library of Medicine provides health education professionals and
students a method to conduct evidence-based practice literature searches to
enhance the quality of new and existing health education interventions and
programs. This review provides an overview on evidence-based practice, an
overview of the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing Inc.
competencies related to evidence-based practice. It introduces the PubMed
PICO tool and provides suggestions on how health education professionals can
use the tool more effectively. Through the use of the PubMed PICO tool,
health education students and professionals can enhance their literature
search strategies to help ensure a comprehensive and exhaustive literature
review.

4. Patient-Physician Interaction and Trust in Online Health Community:
The Role of Perceived Usefulness of Health Information and Services.
Peng Y, Yin P, Deng Z, Wang R
BACKGROUND: In recent years, China has witnessed a surge in medical
disputes, including many widely reported violent riots, attacks, and
protests in hospitals. Asymmetric information between patient and physicians
is one of the most critical enablers in this phenomenon, but the Web has
become the primary resource for Chinese Internet applications to learn about
health information and could potentially play a role in this pathway to
patient-physician interaction and patient-physician trust. While
considerable attention has been paid in some countries, there are few
researches about China's situation for this issue. The purpose of this
quantitative study was to examine the influence of online health information
and the online guidance of doctors in patient health information literacy on
patient-physician interaction and patient-physician trust in China.
METHODS: A web-based survey was conducted to collect data from online
applications with health problems. A structural equation modeling was used
to analyze the data to test the hypotheses. A total of 446 participants from
the Tongji Hospital in Wuhan and Huazhong University of Science and
Technology hospital participated in the study.
RESULTS: Our analysis shows that the usefulness of online health information
and the online guidance of doctors both significantly influence the trust of
the patient toward physicians and interaction with physicians. Furthermore,
the patient-physician interaction also has a significant impact on the
patient-physician trust.
CONCLUSIONS: There are many studies on the influence of online health
information on the doctor-patient relationship, whereas a little research
has examined this relationship between health information online support
from doctors and patient-physician interaction by quantitative empirical
analysis. This study also explores the online guidance role of doctors and
whether doctor-patient communication will affect the trust of doctors and
patients. The practical implications of this study include an improved
understanding of the function of online health information and potential
impacts regarding the interaction with physicians and trust toward
physicians that can be used to resolve conflicts between doctors and
patients.

5. Public Health and Online Misinformation: Challenges and
Recommendations.
Swire-Thompson B, Lazer D
The internet has become a popular resource to learn about health and to
investigate one's own health condition. However, given the large amount of
inaccurate information online, people can easily become misinformed.
Individuals have always obtained information from outside the formal health
care system, so how has the internet changed people's engagement with health
information? This review explores how individuals interact with health
misinformation online, whether it be through search, user-generated content,
or mobile apps. We discuss whether personal access to information is helping
or hindering health outcomes and how the perceived trustworthiness of the
institutions communicating health has changed over time. To conclude, we
propose several constructive strategies for improving the online information
ecosystem. Misinformation concerning health has particularly severe
consequences with regard to people's quality of life and even their risk of
mortality; therefore, understanding it within today's modern context is an
extremely important task. Expected final online publication date for the
Annual Review of Public Health, Volume 41 is April 1, 2020. Please see

6. Factors influencing the success of knowledge management process in
health care organisations: a literature review.
Ayatollahi H, Zeraatkar K
INTRODUCTION: Knowledge is a strategic resource in health care organisations
and knowledge management (KM) is applied as an effective solution to
overcome challenges, such as rising health care cost and increasing demands
for improving quality of care. The aim of this review was to identify
factors influencing the success of KM process in health care organisations
of developed and developing countries.
METHODS: This review was conducted in 2018. The sources used for searching
relevant papers were PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Knowledge,
EMBASE and Google Scholar, and the time frame was between 1980 and 2017. The
search terms were KM, health care services administration, health care
organisation, hospital and clinic which were combined by using AND/OR
Boolean operators.
RESULTS: In this review, 13 papers were included. The main success factors
influencing KM implementation in health care organisations were
organisational culture, information technology, organisational structure,
and performance evaluation and measurement. In developed countries,
organisational culture was the most frequent factor, while in developing
countries, organisational culture and information technology were the most
frequent ones.
CONCLUSION: It seems that in developed and developing countries,
organisational factors are the most frequent factors influencing successful
KM in health care organisations.

7. Comparison of Intellectual Structure of Knowledge in International
Journal of Preventive Medicine with MeSH: A Co-Word Analysis.
Mazaheri E, Mostafavi I, Geraei E
Background: The aim of the current study is to determine the Comparison of
intellectual structure of International Journal of Preventive Medicine
(IJPM) with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) based on author keywords and
index terms of Scopus database and the degree of compatibility among these
two groups of keywords.
Methods: This study was carried out using a co-word technique, which is one
of the bibliometric methods. The study population consisted of 1104 articles
published in IJPM and indexed in Scopus database. After retrieval the
articles, data for co-word analyses was extracted using UCINET and VOSviewer
software applications and centrality criteria. Then, the compatibility of
author keywords and MeSH terms was examined by Jaccard's similarity index.
Results: During the investigated years and among 2402 author keywords, on
average, 561 author keywords (23.36%) were exact matches, 417 author
keywords (17.36%) were partial matches, and 1424 author keywords (59.28%)
were not matched with the terms contained in the index. Author keywords
matching or not matching with index-term categories formed the largest
portion of partial match keywords.
Conclusions: The use of MeSH as a standard tool by medical journals for the
selection of keywords in scientific publications could improve the
visibility and retrieval of articles, and increase the number of citations
and journals' impact factor.

8. Fake News: Spread of Misinformation about Urological Conditions on
Social Media.
Loeb S, Taylor J, Borin JF, Mihalcea R, Perez-Rosas V, Byrne N, Chiang AL,
Langford A
Although there is a large amount of user-generated content about urological
health issues on social media, much of this content has not been vetted for
information accuracy. In this article, we review the literature on the
quality and balance of information on urological health conditions on social
networks. Across a wide range of benign and malignant urological conditions,
studies show a substantial amount of commercial, biased and/or inaccurate
information present on popular social networking sites. The healthcare
community should take proactive steps to improve the quality of medical
information on social networks. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this review, we examined
the spread of misinformation about urological health conditions on social
media. We found that a significant amount of the circulating information is
commercial, biased or misinformative.

10. Nutrition-Related Messages Shared Among the Online Transgender
Community: A Netnography of YouTube Vloggers.
Schier HE, Linsenmeyer WR
Purpose: Nutrition care guidelines for the transgender population do not
exist, despite significant nutrition-related clinical and psychosocial
considerations. Social networking sites (SNSs) provide multidirectional
communication and have expanded in popularity among transgender users as a
resource for health information and support. The nature of the content
shared among the online transgender community is unknown, but may suggest
the nutrition-related areas that are of most importance to the transgender
population. The objective of this qualitative netnography was to describe
the food and nutrition messages shared among the transgender community using
video blogs (vlogs) on the SNS, YouTube. Methods: Public vlogs were assessed
using the constant comparative method. Pseudoquantitative methods were used
to capture the prevalence of each subtheme; quotes were documented verbatim.
Data were collected from transgender users' public vlogs (n=30)
self-published on YouTube from 2013 to 2018. Results: Six major themes were
generated from the data analysis. These included the following: functions of
diet and exercise; diet and exercise philosophies; "how to" vlogs; advice
for success; using dietary supplements; and effects of hormone therapy.
Conclusions: Nutrition-related messages are widely shared among the online
transgender community through YouTube. The identified themes reflect topics
of interest and expressed needs of transgender individuals. SNSs provide
health care providers with a platform to improve patient education and
health literacy. Health care providers may actively engage in online
discussions to build trust, answer questions, and provide a source of
accurate and evidence-based information.

11. The quality, understandability, readability, and popularity of online
educational materials for heart murmur.
Arslan D, Sami Tutar M, Kozanhan B, Bagci Z
OBJECTIVE: Murmurs are abnormal audible heart sounds produced by turbulent
blood flow. Therefore, murmurs in a child may be a source of anxiety for
family members. Families often use online materials to explore possible
reasons for these murmurs, given the accessibility of information on the
Internet. In this study, we evaluated the quality, understandability,
readability, and popularity of online materials about heart murmur.
METHODS: An Internet search was performed for "heart murmur" using the
Google search engine. The global quality score (on a scale of 1 to 5,
corresponding to poor to excellent quality) and Health on the Net code were
used to measure the quality of information presented. The understandability
of the web pages identified was measured using the Patient Education
Materials Assessment Tool (score range from 0 to 100%, scores below 70%
reflect poor performance). The readability of each web pages was assessed
using four validated indices: the Flesch Reading Ease Score, the
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, the Gunning Frequency of Gobbledygook, and the
Simple Measure of Gobbledygook. The ALEXA traffic tool was used to reference
domains' popularity and visibility.
RESULTS: We identified 230 English-language patient educational materials
that discussed heart murmur. After exclusion, a total of 86 web pages were
evaluated for this study. The average global quality score was 4.34 (SD =
0.71; range from 3 to 5) indicating that the quality of information of most
websites was good. Only 14 (16.3%) websites had Health on the Net
certification. The mean understandability score for all Internet-based
patient educational materials was 74.6% (SD = 12.8%; range from 31.2 to
93.7%). A score suggesting these Internet-based patient educational
materials were "easy to understand". The mean readability levels of all
patient educational materials were higher than the recommended sixth-grade
reading level, according to all indices applied. This means that the level
of readability is difficult. The average grade level for all web pages was
10.4 ± 1.65 (range from 7.53 to 14.13). The Flesch-Kincaid Grade level was
10 ± 1.81, the Gunning Frequency of Gobbledygook level was 12.1 ± 1.85, and
the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook level was 9.1 ± 1.38. The average Flesch
Reading Ease Score was 55 ± 9.1 (range from 32.4 to 72.9).
CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that web pages describing heart murmurs were
understandable and high quality. However, the readability level of the
websites was above the recommended sixth-grade reading level. Readability of
written materials from online sources need to be improved. However, care
must be taken to ensure that the information of web pages is of a high
quality and understandable.

12. Desiderata for delivering NLP to accelerate healthcare AI advancement
and a Mayo Clinic NLP-as-a-service implementation.
Wen A, Fu S, Moon S, El Wazir M, Rosenbaum A, Kaggal VC, Liu S, Sohn S, Liu
H, Fan J
Data is foundational to high-quality artificial intelligence (AI). Given
that a substantial amount of clinically relevant information is embedded in
unstructured data, natural language processing (NLP) plays an essential role
in extracting valuable information that can benefit decision making,
administration reporting, and research. Here, we share several desiderata
pertaining to development and usage of NLP systems, derived from two decades
of experience implementing clinical NLP at the Mayo Clinic, to inform the
healthcare AI community. Using a framework, we developed as an example
implementation, the desiderata emphasize the importance of a user-friendly
platform, efficient collection of domain expert inputs, seamless integration
with clinical data, and a highly scalable computing infrastructure.

13. The trend of misspelled HbA1c in scientific articles.
Mishra RK, Chhabra P, Sambrook R
Analysis of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in the blood is essential as it
provides information about a person's average blood glucose levels during
the previous 2-3 months [1]. The aim of this study was to identify and
analyse the nature and frequency of HbA1c-associated typographical errors in
a bibliographic database. An unrestricted PubMed search was performed to
identify all indexed publications from inception to 25 April 2019 with
possible HbA1c variations in titles and abstracts.

14. Assessment of the Quality and Reliability of the Information on
Rotator Cuff Repair on YouTube.
Celik H, Polat O, Ozcan C, Camur S, Kilinc E, Uzun M
INTRODUCTION: YouTube® has become a common health information source for
patients. Recent studies have determined that videos on YouTube® contain
misleading and inappropriate information for different medical conditions.
The aim of the present study was to assess the quality and reliability of
videos pertaining to rotator cuff (RC) repair surgery.
HYPOTHESIS: YouTube® users prefer watching videos with high educational
quality which are provided by physicians.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A search was performed using keywords "rotator cuff
surgery" and "rotator cuff repair" on YouTube® and the first 100 videos for
each keyword were analyzed. Video source, time since upload, duration, and
number of views, likes, and dislikes were recorded. Video popularity was
reported using the video power index (VPI) and view ratio. Video educational
quality was measured using the recognized DISCERN, the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA) score and a novel RC-specific score
(RCSS).
RESULTS: Among the 200 videos identified, 67 were included. The mean
duration was 7.7minutes and the mean number of the views was 147,430. Videos
uploaded by a physician had significantly higher DISCERN, JAMA, and RCSS
(p<0.001). While the main video source was physicians (48%), the most
popular videos were uploaded by patients and commercial websites, according
to the VPI and view ratios. The number of likes, view ratios, and VPI were
negatively correlated with each score. There were negative correlations
between duration and VPI scores, and positive correlations with DISCERN,
JAMA score, and RCSS. Animated videos showed significantly lower results for
all quality scores (p<0.05), while their VPI was significantly higher
(p<0.01).
DISCUSSION: Online information on RC repair surgery provided by YouTube® was
low quality, despite being mostly uploaded by physicians and having
relatively higher quality scores. YouTube® users prefer watching low quality
videos which were provided by patients and commercial websites.
