The World Health Organization Safe Childbirth Checklist tool was specifically
designed for developing countries such as sub-Saharan African countries, to
ensure safety and security of the couple mother and newborn around the time of
childbirth. However, the implementation of the Safe Childbirth Checklist tool
requires a good knowledge of the context setting to face challenges. Our study

A self-management support intervention for patients with atrial fibrillation: a randomized controlled pilot trialPilot and Feasibility Studies - Tập 6 - Trang 1-18 - 2020
Stefan Jobst, Lynn Leppla, Stefan Köberich
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. Despite
effective treatment, it is characterized by frequent recurrences. Optimal
therapeutic management of AF requires active participation and self-management
from patients. Two major components of self-management are self-monitoring and
sign-and-symptom management. Pulse self-palpation (PSP) is a method of
self-monitoring; howeve... hiện toàn bộ
Development of an intervention to increase adherence to nebuliser treatment in adults with cystic fibrosis: CFHealthHubPilot and Feasibility Studies - Tập 7 - Trang 1-18 - 2021

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting genetic condition in which daily
therapies to maintain lung health are critical, yet treatment adherence is low.
Previous interventions to increase adherence have been largely unsuccessful and
this is likely due to a lack of focus on behavioural evidence and theory
alongside input from people with CF. This intervention is based on a digital
platform that col... hiện toàn bộ
Home-based tDCS for apathy in Alzheimer’s disease: a protocol for a randomized double-blinded controlled pilot studyPilot and Feasibility Studies - Tập 9 - Trang 1-8 - 2023

Apathy is among the most common behavioral symptoms in dementia and is
consistently associated with negative outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Despite its prevalence and clinical relevance, available pharmacological and
non-pharmacological strategies to treat apathy in AD have been marked,
respectively, by potentially severe side effects and/or limited efficacy.

Testing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect of a novel deliberate practice intervention to reduce diagnostic error in trauma triage: a study protocol for a randomized pilot trialPilot and Feasibility Studies - Tập 8 - Trang 1-11 - 2022
Deepika Mohan, Jonathan Elmer, Robert M. Arnold, Raquel M. Forsythe, Baruch Fischhoff, Kimberly Rak, Jacqueline L. Barnes, Douglas B. White
Non-compliance with clinical practice guidelines in trauma remains common, in
part because physicians make diagnostic errors when triaging injured patients.
Deliberate practice, purposeful participation in a training task under the
oversight of a coach, effectively changes behavior in procedural domains of
medicine but has rarely been used to improve diagnostic skill. We plan a pilot

Determining sample size for progression criteria for pragmatic pilot RCTs: the hypothesis test strikes back!Pilot and Feasibility Studies - Tập 7 Số 1 - 2021
Martyn Lewis, Kieran Bromley, Cara Sutton, Gareth McCray, Helen Myers, Gillian Lancaster
Abstract Background The current CONSORT guidelines for reporting pilot trials do
not recommend hypothesis testing of clinical outcomes on the basis that a pilot
trial is under-powered to detect such differences and this is the aim of the
main trial. It states that primary evaluation should focus on descriptive
analysis of feasibility/process outcomes (e.g. recruitment, adherence, treatment

Saline versus albumin fluid for extracorporeal removal with slow low-efficiency dialysis (SAFER-SLED): study protocol for a pilot trialPilot and Feasibility Studies - Tập 5 - Trang 1-6 - 2019

Critically ill patients frequently develop acute kidney injury that necessitates
renal replacement therapy (RRT). At some centers, critically ill patients who
are hemodynamically unstable and require RRT are treated with slow
low-efficiency dialysis (SLED). Unfortunately, hypotension is a frequent
complication that occurs during SLED treatments and may limit the recovery of
kidney function. Hypote... hiện toàn bộ
