Patient Preferences for Anesthesiologist Attire During Preoperative Visits in China: A Cross-Sectional Survey.
It is important for anesthesiologists to leave good impressions and build rapport with patients during preoperative visits. However, patient preferences for anesthesiologist attire have not been well studied in China. ⋯ Patients prefer anesthesiologists wearing scrubs in coats of the same color. Standardizing anesthesiologist attire based on these findings may improve patient satisfaction.

Preferences for Rehabilitation in Persons with a History of Stroke: A Discrete Choice Experiment.
To investigate the preferences of persons with a history of stroke for various attributes of rehabilitation using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). ⋯ A discrete choice experiment revealed that persons with a history of stroke prefer a one-hour hospital rehabilitation program with a female therapist, with cost being a major consideration for rehabilitation. The results of this study may provide useful information for rehabilitation professionals.

Attitudes Toward Providing Open Access for Use of Biospecimens and Health Records: A Cross-Sectional Study from Jordan.
Biospecimen repositories and big data generated from clinical research are critically important in advancing patient-centered healthcare. However, ethical considerations arising from reusing clinical samples and health records for subsequent research pose a hurdle for big-data health research. This study aims to assess the public's opinions in Jordan toward providing blanket consent for using biospecimens and health records in research. ⋯ The lack of public trust in Jordan toward data privacy is evident from this study. Therefore, a governance framework is needed to raise and maintain the public's trust in big-data research that warrants the future reuse of clinical samples and records. As such, the current study provides valuable insights that will inform the design of effective consent protocols required in data-intensive health research.

Understanding Processes, Outcomes, and Contexts in Medication Adherence: The Medication Adherence Context and Outcomes (MACO) Framework.
Poor medication adherence is a significant problem, yet interventions to improve it have been largely ineffective. Existing ecological models indicate that adherence is multi-dimensional; however, they do not reflect understanding of context-specific processes and how they lead to adherence outcomes. A framework that reflects context-specific processes is important because it could be used to inform context-specific intervention delivery and measure associated adherence outcomes. ⋯ The MACO framework distinguishes context-specific processes and outcomes. The MACO framework may be useful to understand at which point(s) along the continuum people experience problems with managing medications. This understanding is potentially useful for developing and delivering context-specific interventions that are based on processes that underlie nonadherence and selecting adherence measures appropriate for the contexts.

Prevalence and Safety of Prescribing PPIs with Clopidogrel in Palestine.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed medications that are thought to increase the risk of cardiovascular events because they reduce the effectiveness of clopidogrel via shared hepatic pathways. ⋯ In this study, we observed a high prevalence of prescribing a PPI in combination with clopidogrel, regardless of the FDA recommendations. No significant increase in cardiovascular events was observed in patients receiving concomitant clopidogrel and PPI therapy.
