Data Provision

The timely availability and quality of building product information is critical prerequisite for a successful building delivery process. However, little is known about the processes by which stakeholders acquire and use such data. This contribution documents the results of recent relevant surveys, addressing the building product data processing by planers, clients, and the industry. Web questionnaires and interviews with opinion leaders were conducted. Altogether, over 100 participants provided pertinent insights regarding strengths and weaknesses of the current data representation practices. A comparison of the obtained data with that of an earlier study allows for the documentation of the evolutionary trends in web-based data provision. Most importantly, the results facilitate the formulation of strategies for a more effective presentation and distribution of building product data.

Background: In older adults facing knee arthroplasty, the ability to resume downhill skiing postoperatively is unclear. This study aimed to determine the perspectives of Alberta orthopedic surgeons and senior residents regarding downhill skiing after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Methods: In May 2019, a Web-based survey was sent through the Alberta Orthopaedic Society to poll orthopedic surgeons performing arthroplasty and senior orthopedic residents (postgraduate year 4 or 5) in Alberta regarding the permissibility of downhill skiing after TKA or UKA. The survey also elicited information regarding under which conditions or restrictions, if any, surgeons would allow patients to return to downhill skiing, whether these recommendations were evidence based, and whether surgeons had seen complications from downhill skiing in their patients who had undergone knee arthroplasty. Results: Of the 41 respondents, 21 (51%) were full-time fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, 15 (37%) were specialists with some arthroplasty in their practice, and 5 (12%) were orthopedic residents. Ten of 40 respondents (25%) would allow unrestricted downhill skiing after TKA, and 1 (2%) would not allow any skiing at all. The remaining 29 (72%) indicated that they might allow downhill skiing under specific conditions, with the top 3 being limitations on speed and intensity (29 [71%]), return of full range of motion and strength in the operative knee (26 [63%]), and years of downhill ski experience (23 [56%]). Fourteen respondents (34%) would allow unrestricted downhill skiing after UKA, and 27 (66%) would allow skiing with the same top 3 conditions as for TKA. Thirty-two respondents (78%) reported that their decisions were not evidence based, and 35 (85%) had never seen complications from downhill skiing after TKA or UKA. Conclusion: Alberta orthopedic surgeons and senior residents are cautious regarding skiing after knee arthroplasty. The majority reported that their restrictions were not evidence based, which indicates the need for further investigation to develop an approach for surgeons to consistently and safely address return to downhill skiing after TKA or UKA.

INTRODUCTION The results of a survey on evidence-based surgery (EBS) among members of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) are presented. The study also analyzes the citations earned by articles with different levels of evidence (LOE) to see if LOE have any bearing on the importance attached to the articles by authors and contributors to the journals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The questionnaire was e-mailed to 1000 randomly chosen consultant orthopaedic surgeons who were members of either the AAOS or the BOA. Participants were provided with the option of responding through web-based entry. For citation analysis, citation data were gathered from the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American volume) between the years 2003 and 2007 (5-year period). RESULTS The survey showed that awareness and access to EBS have improved greatly over the years. At the present time, these factors are not important barriers to the implementation of EBS in clinical practice in developed countries. There was a statistically significant difference in those with and without additional qualifications with regard to the approach to EBS. However, an equal percentage of surgeons with and without additional qualifications felt that it was difficult to adhere to EBS guidelines in daily clinical practice. Citation analysis showed that readers of professional journals attach importance to LOE category of the article and tend to cite level-I evidence articles more than other articles.

Phenomenographic Method

Phenomenography is a qualitative research approach that seeks to explore variation in how people experience various aspects of their world. Phenomenography has been used in numerous information research studies that have explored various phenomena of interest in the library and information sphere. This paper provides an overview of the phenomenographic method and discusses key assumptions that underlie this approach to research. Aspects including data collection, data analysis and the outcomes of phenomenographic research are also detailed. The paper concludes with an illustration of how phenomenography was used in research to investigate students’ experiences of web-based information searching. The results of this research demonstrate how the phenomenographic approach yields insights into variation, making it possible to develop greater understanding of the phenomenon as it was experienced, and to draw upon these experiences to improve and enhance current practice.

Web-based personalized predictive tools in orthopedic surgery are becoming more widely available. Despite rising numbers of these tools, many orthopedic surgeons may not know what tools are available, how these tools were developed, and how they can be utilized. The aim of this scoping review is to compile and synthesize the profile of existing web-based orthopedic tools. We conducted two separate PubMed searches—one a broad search and the second a more targeted one involving high impact journals—with the aim of comprehensively identifying all existing tools. These articles were then screened for functional tool URLs, methods regarding the tool’s creation, and general inputs and outputs required for the tool to function. We identified 57 articles, which yielded 31 unique web-based tools. These tools involved various orthopedic conditions (e.g., fractures, osteoarthritis, musculoskeletal neoplasias); interventions (e.g., fracture fixation, total joint arthroplasty); outcomes (e.g., mortality, clinical outcomes). This scoping review highlights the availability and utility of a vast array of web-based personalized predictive tools for orthopedic surgeons. Increased awareness and access to these tools may allow for better decision support, surgical planning, post-operative expectation management, and improved shared decision-making.

Introduction: The management of pelvic fracture-associated urethral injuries (PFUI) is not standardized and optimal management is controversial. We surveyed Canadian urologists about their experiences and opinions regarding optimal management of PFUI.Methods: Canadian urologists were surveyed via an anonymous, bilingual, web-based, 12-item questionnaire. A total of 735 Canadian urologists were invited to participate via email distributed by the Canadian Urological Association.Results: Of the 146 urologists who participated (19.9% response rate), the majority practice at a trauma centre (53.2%), but manage only 1‒5 PFUI/year (71.5%). Most participants (82.6%) favour primary realignment compared to suprapubic (SP) tube with delayed repair (15.3%) and immediate reconstruction (2.1%). Compared to SP diversion and delayed repair, the majority of participants believe primary realignment is associated with equivocal incontinence (61.2%) and erectile dysfunction rates (75.8%), but has lower stricture rates (73.0%). Among respondents who perform primary realignment, 45.4% concurrently place a SP tube, while 54.6% do not. While 91% believe SP tubes do not increase the risk of pelvic hardware infections, 31.6% report that orthopedic surgeons alter their management of pelvic fractures in the presence of a SP tube.Conclusions: Most Canadian urologist respondents — even those practicing at trauma centres — manage very few PFUIs/year. There is reasonable consensus among respondents that primary realignment is favourable to delayed or immediate reconstruction, but discordance on whether or not to place concurrent SP tubes. The urological and orthopedic consequences of SP tubes in the management of traumatic urological injuries warrant further investigation.

Abstract Purpose During surgical residency, many learning methods are available to learn an inguinal hernia repair (IHR). This study aimed to investigate which learning methods are most commonly used and which are perceived as most important by surgical residents for open and endoscopic IHR. Methods European general surgery residents were invited to participate in a 9-item web-based survey that inquired which of the learning methods were used (checking one or more of 13 options) and what their perceived importance was on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = completely not important to 5 = very important). Results In total, 323 residents participated. The five most commonly used learning methods for open and endoscopic IHR were apprenticeship style learning in the operation room (OR) (98% and 96%, respectively), textbooks (67% and 49%, respectively), lectures (50% and 44%, respectively), video-demonstrations (53% and 66%, respectively) and journal articles (54% and 54%, respectively). The three most important learning methods for the open and endoscopic IHR were participation in the OR [5.00 (5.00–5.00) and 5.00 (5.00–5.00), respectively], video-demonstrations [4.00 (4.00–5.00) and 4.00 (4.00–5.00), respectively], and hands-on hernia courses [4.00 (4.00–5.00) and 4.00 (4.00–5.00), respectively]. Conclusion This study demonstrated a discrepancy between learning methods that are currently used by surgical residents to learn the open and endoscopic IHR and preferred learning methods. There is a need for more emphasis on practising before entering the OR. This would support surgical residents’ training by first observing, then practising and finally performing the surgery in the OR.

The main objective of this study was to provide an overview of the current practice for transverse mandibular and maxillary discrepancies in the Netherlands using a web-based survey. Orthodontists (ORTHO) and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (OMFS) in the Netherlands were invited to the web-based survey via their professional association. Three cases were presented which could be treated non-surgically and surgically. Participants were asked what treatment they preferred: no treatment, orthodontic treatment with optional extractions or surgically assisted orthodontic treatment. The web-based survey ended with questions on various technical aspects and any experienced complication. Invitation was sent to all 303 members of professional association for ORTHO and to all 379 members of professional association for OMFS. Overall response number was 276 (response rate of 40.5%), including 127 incomplete responses. Generally, ORTHO prefer orthodontic treatment with optional extractions and OMFS lean towards surgically assisted orthodontic treatment. Mandibular Midline Distraction appears to be less preferred, possibly due to lack of clinical experience or knowledge by both professions despite being proven clinical stable surgical technique with stable long-term outcomes. There seems to be consensus on technical aspects by both professions, however, there are various thoughts on duration of consolidation period. Complications are mostly minor and manageable.
