Popis: | Introduction In the era of electronic medical records, pen-and-paper-based physician-administered bleeding assessment tools (BAT) remain under-utilized in the clinical setting, as they are noted to be time-consuming. Aim The current study reviews the use of an electronic self-administered bleeding assessment tool (eBAT) prospectively in a paediatric haematology clinic and in comparison with a physician administered BAT (pBAT). Materials and methods This was reviewed and approved in the current form because the aims statement includes the method regarding comparison of 2 groups. So no additional section required. Results A total of 94 BAT response pairs were available for analysis. The median time required for patients or parents to complete the eBAT was 8 min, with less than a third of the patients requiring over 10 min. The median bleeding scores noted in this study were 4 for both the BATs, with strong positive correlation between the eBAT and the physician administered bleeding questionnaire. The eBAT had a sensitivity of 93.8% (95% CI 82.8%-98.7%), a specificity of 34.8% (95% CI 21.4%-50.3%), a positive predictive value (PV) of 60.0% (95% CI 54.5%-65.2%) and a negative PV of 84.2% (95% CI 62.5%-94.5%) for identifying a bleeding disorder. Conclusions Findings indicate that eBAT is a valid and time-efficient screening tool for evaluating patients' bleeding symptoms, which can improve clinical applicability of BATs by reducing time for bleeding history review. |
