According to the Substituted Judgment Standard a surrogate decision maker ought to make the decision that the incompetent patient would have made, had he or she been competent. This standard has received a fair amount of criticism, but the objections raised are often wide of the mark. In this article we discuss three objections based on empirical research, and explain why these do not give us reas

To improve compliance with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening in low compliance areas, individually tailored invitations were developed in collaboration with a professional advertising agency.

BACKGROUND: eHealth solutions such as digital decision support systems (DDSSs) have the potential to assist collaboration between health care staff to improve matters for specific patient groups. Patients with hard-to-heal ulcers have long healing times because of a lack of guidelines for structured diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Multidisciplinary collaboration in wound management teams is e

In 2024, the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) published a list of 10 low-value practices in paediatric care.

Background: The total cost of bile duct injuries (BDIs) in an unselected national cohort of patients undergoing cholecystectomy are unknown. The aim was to evaluate costs associated with treatment of cholecystectomy-related BDIs and to calculate cost effectiveness of routine vs. on-demand intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). Methods: Data from Swedish patients suffering a BDI during a 5 year peri

Background: Preference weights for EQ-5D-3L based on visual analogue scale (VAS) has recently been developed in Iran.

To assess the distribution of blood from the umbilical vein (UMV), inferior vena cava (IVC) and superior vena cava (SVC) to either side of the fetal lamb heart by using ultrasound enhanced contrast agent imaging. By injection of ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) in UMV, IVC or SVC, the blood from these vessels was tracked, as it then was highly echogenic. By evaluating the image intensity within th
