Bayesian approaches to variable selection: a comparative study from practical perspectives

Zihang Lu et al.

Summary: In this study, commonly used Bayesian approaches to variable selection are reviewed with an emphasis on their application and implementation through R software. These approaches are roughly categorized into four classes: Bayesian model selection, spike-and-slab priors, shrinkage priors, and a hybrid of both. Evaluations of their variable selection performance under various scenarios were conducted using real and simulated datasets, providing practical guidance for researchers interested in applying Bayesian approaches for variable selection.

Florian Dahlhausen et al.

Summary: This study explores the roles and potential of healthcare stakeholders in improving patient access and adherence to evidence-based digital therapeutics. The results indicate that healthcare professionals have the greatest potential in promoting access and adherence, followed by health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients themselves. However, most stakeholders are currently not fully utilizing their potential. Further education of healthcare professionals, simplification of processes, and improvement of product features can help improve patient access and adherence.

Rapid Adoption of Telemedicine in Rheumatology Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic Highlights Training and Supervision Concerns Among Rheumatology Trainees

Su-Ann Yeoh et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telemedicine among rheumatology trainees significantly increased, particularly in the United States where video visits were predominantly used. Despite the widespread uptake of telemedicine, only a small proportion of trainees received relevant training, and many lacked confidence in evaluating new patients. Inadequate supervision and clinical teaching were areas of concern.

Opportunities and Barriers of Telemedicine in Rheumatology: A Participatory, Mixed-Methods Study

Felix Muehlensiepen et al.

Summary: Despite its potential benefits, telemedicine is facing resistance from patients due to concerns about the impact on the patient-physician relationship. Professional stakeholders see telemedicine as a way to allocate scarce resources effectively in rheumatology care, but obstacles such as limited time resources, lack of physical examinations, and implementation challenges are still present. The integration of telemedicine into routine care needs to carefully consider the implications on the patient-physician relationship.

Aws Almu et al.

Summary: The study found that before the pandemic, only 45% of trainees had exposure to telemedicine, which increased to 78% during the pandemic. While the trainees expressed positive attitudes towards incorporating telemedicine into their future practice, 51% of them still felt uncomfortable with its use. The majority of trainees expressed a need for specialized training in telemedicine.

Acceptance of Telerheumatology by Rheumatologists and General Practitioners in Germany: Nationwide Cross-sectional Survey Study

Felix Muehlensiepen et al.

Summary: The survey results indicate that German rheumatologists and general practitioners have high acceptance but low actual usage of telerheumatology care. Barriers include technology equipment purchase, administration, and poor reimbursement. Physicians prefer communication with other physicians, see the potential of telemedicine in follow-up phases, and believe that training courses are needed to improve knowledge.
