Abstract Introduction: Accurate diagnosis and severity scoring of acute and, in particular, chronic GVHD remains a challenge for clinical practice and for correct self-reporting of GVHD data to evaluate transplant outcomes. Perceived complexity and time investment issues limit the implementation of international standards and the recently updated NIH criteria for chronic GVHD. Here, we describe the development of the EBMT GVHD App, a computer/web-based algorithm-driven application to help physicians correctly diagnose and score severity of acute and chronic GVHD and improve the implementation of current standards in clinical practice and research. Methods: We applied a User Centered Design (UCD) process, through an iterative process between end-users and the development team to ensure that the App is user-friendly and efficient. A first EBMT GVHD App version (v0.0) tested an initial GVHD algorithm. An second improved prototype v1.0 was developed as a true web application (App) compatible with desktop computers and smartphones/tablets. V1.0 relies on two modules: a diagnostic module for NIH diagnostic, distinctive, common signs or proven evidence of GVHD (skin, nails, scalp/body hair, mouth, eyes, genitals, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs and muscles/joints), and a scoring moduleto assess severity of acute (Glucksberg and IBMTR criteria), chronic and overlap (NIH criteria) GVHD. The App v1.0 was tested by 28 hematology professionals (University Hospitals of Leuven, Belgium): 8 senior physicians, 8 junior physicians, 2 medical students and 10 data managers/research nurses; median experience in hematology 2.25 years, range 0-30, IQR 6.6, evenly distributed, by profession and seniority, to one of two groups (A and B). Usability of the App was determined for user experience and satisfaction. User experience was tested at baseline and end of study with the technology acceptance model (TAM), evaluating six Perceived Usefulness Statements rated on a 7-point Likert-like scale (1=extremely unlikely to 7=extremely likely). User satisfaction was evaluated by PSSUQ (Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire), which scores system usefulness, information quality and interface quality, on a 7-point Likert-like scale (1=strongly agree to 7=strongly disagree). App's accuracy relied on the proportion of correctly assessed clinical scenarios from 4 representative GVHD cases developed by a panel of GVHD experts as gold standard. In a quasi-experimental crossover design, professionals were invited to solve two cases either with standard paper tools or with the App, and later crossed over to use the other tool, both for the two other cases, as well as to solve again with the new tool their previous two cases. Comparisons were performed 'within groups' and 'between groups' (A vs B). Results: User experience and satisfaction were very good, with a median of 6 TAM points for user experience, and a median overall PSSUQ score of 2.2 for user satisfaction, 2.1 for System Use, 2.4 for Information Quality and 1.7 for Interface Quality. Users (70%) reported that they would be more likely to use the App on a desktop than on a mobile device. Accuracy results were only moderate with standard paper tools: 65% for diagnosis and 45% for scoring. The use of the App significantly increased diagnostic and scoring accuracy to 94% (+29%) and 88% (+43%), respectively (both p<0.001). The App also improved accuracy of individuals repeating the same clinical case (within groups) for diagnosis (+27%) and scoring (+42%), beyond a potential learning effect. From v1.0 results, an App v2.0 has been developed refining details in the algorithm, improving term description, adding a user's manual and the option of generating patient reports, which is now ready for further testing. Conclusions: The "EBMT GVHD App" is a first electronic tool to diagnose and score GVHD. Initial testing of v1.0 uniformly showed high scores for user experience and satisfaction, accurately reflected the subtle nuances of the NIH criteria, and improved significantly the accuracy of a diverse group of hematology professionals to diagnose and score severity of GVHD, compared to their practice with standard tools. Testing of v2.0 is underway to adapt layout and screen content and to address ambiguities of current guidelines. A larger study with a subsequent v3.0 is warranted in real life setting to evaluate macroscopic scalability. Disclosures Lee: Kadmon: Consultancy; Bristol-Myers Squibb: Consultancy.

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the implications of globalisation and the adoption of international standards (International Financial Reporting Standards [IFRS]) for accounting information quality. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a sample of 329 banks across 29 countries leading up to and beyond the implementation of IFRS to test for related hypotheses. Findings First, banks’ financial statements are prepared on the basis of international standards as national economies are integrated when social norms are diffused. Building on these results, the second test suggests that the relatively high-quality earnings among banks in Africa during the period is attributable to the adoption of and interaction of IFRS with globalisation and the strategy of banks to diversify within and across interest and non-interest income. Originality/value The authors investigate how globalisation and the adoption of IFRS affect accounting information quality.

Abstract Background Telepathology is the practice of reviewing and exchanging pathological images through telecommunication systems to obtain diagnoses remotely. Studying the factors that make such a system successful and favourable is important to ensure the merits of its implementation in clinical practice. Objective This study aims to evaluate the success of a telepathology system from the users’ perspectives, using specific evaluation criteria, namely: system quality, information quality, technical service quality, user satisfaction, and benefits. Methods A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was adopted in this study, which consists of two phases. Initially, a questionnaire was distributed via WhatsApp to all of the pathologists (total: 45) working at governmental hospitals in Kuwait. Followed by, semi-structured interviews with ten senior pathologists. Results Forty pathologists responded to the questionnaire, giving an 89% response rate. There were 42.5% of the respondents aged between 35–44 years old, and 52.5% were male. The quantitative results reveal that most of the respondents were satisfied with the quality of the telepathology system with a mean of 2.6025 (Standard Deviation (SD) = 0.47176), whereas they were dissatisfied with the quality of the information with a mean of 2.4100 (SD = 1.580) and the technical support services with a mean of 2.2750 (SD = 0.99535). In addition, there was disagreement on the benefits of telepathology in clinical practice among the pathologists with a mean of 2.4667 (SD = 0.77552). The qualitative results indicate that the lack of interest in and little experience with using the system were behind the general dissatisfaction of most of the respondents. All of the interviewees were satisfied with the performance of the telepathology system and considered it successful; however, the quality of the technical support services, including training workshops, was deemed deficient. Conclusion This study concluded that telepathology system in Kuwait is functioning well and has been successful in its implementation; however, pathologists are dissatisfied with it, mainly due to the deficient quality of the technical support services provided. In addition, the successful implementation of such advanced technologies requires careful steps to be taken on multiple levels: technical, organisational, and managerial. Recommendations were suggested.

Abstract Background Recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) guidelines provide recommendations for detecting and treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients. We compared clinical practice with guidelines to determine areas for improvement. Methods German database analysis of 675,628 patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with 134,395 included in this analysis. Data were compared with ESC/EASD recommendations. Results This analysis included 17,649 and 116,747 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively. The analysis showed that 44.1 and 49.1 % patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively, were annually screened for CKD. Despite anti-diabetic treatment, only 27.2 % patients with type 1 and 43.5 % patients with type 2 achieved a target HbA1c of < 7.0 %. Use of sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (1.5 % type 1/8.7 % type 2 diabetes) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (0.6 % type 1/5.2 % type 2 diabetes) was limited. Hypertension was controlled according to guidelines in 41.1 and 67.7 % patients aged 18–65 years with type 1 and 2 diabetes, respectively, (62.4 vs. 68.4 % in patients > 65 years). Renin angiotensin aldosterone inhibitors were used in 24.0 and 40.9 % patients with type 1 diabetes (micro- vs. macroalbuminuria) and 39.9 and 47.7 %, respectively, in type 2 diabetes. Conclusions Data indicate there is room for improvement in caring for diabetic patients with respect to renal disease diagnosis and treatment. While specific and potentially clinically justified reasons for non-compliance exist, the data may serve well for a critical appraisal of clinical practice decisions.

Social media application (SMA) shows several important functions that causing theincrement of usage among mobile application or mobile app users, especially among18 to 28 years-old users. This causing several developers to create their own SMA thathave been targeted to mobile app users. However, only several SMA managed tobecome popular and successful in term of usage, leaving other unpopular SMA in thelower rank of the Google PlayStore. SMA created by developer in Malaysia face thesame situation as mentioned before where those SMA were supposed to attractMalaysian mobile users more. To assess this situation, this study aims to identify thesuccess factors of SMA usage and develop a set of metric based on the success factorsusing research model that have been developed in the past. Information SystemSuccess Model (ISSM) were studied and chosen as the reference model for this studybecause the model is suitable and have been used by other researchers in studiesregarding social media and SMA. ISSM contains several success factors like systemquality, service quality and information quality that affect the user satisfaction and useof a system, where this model were modified in this study with the addition ofnetworking quality and perceive privacy factors. This study were conducted on 380Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) students and after analysing the data collected, allproposed success factors except of service quality were found to have a positive impacttowards user satisfaction and usage. The success factors were included in the metricdesign and the metric were presented in an evaluation form for SMA developer inMalaysia to evaluate and applied the metric in their SMA.
