Noninvasive estimation of internal spinal alignment in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using PCdare and back shape asymmetry by Mirko Kaiser, Emily McLaughlin, Martin Bertsch, Christoph J. Laux, Mazda Farshad, Tobia Brusa, Volker M. Koch, William R. Taylor, Saša Ćuković

“…The correlations (IQR) between estimated shape of ISLs and their references were very strong (0.87 (0.24)) to excellent (0.94 (0.03)), and the median root mean square error (IQR) between estimated and reference ISL was 6.9 mm (3.3 mm). …”

How effective is teamwork really? The relationship between teamwork and performance in healthcare teams: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Tanja Manser, Jan B. Schmutz, Laurenz L. Meier

“…Additional literature was selected through a manual backward search of relevant reviews, manual backward and forward search of studies included in the meta-analysis and contacting of selected authors via email.Eligibility criteria Studies were included if they reported a relationship between a teamwork process (eg, coordination, non-technical skills) and a performance measure (eg, checklist based expert rating, errors) in an acute care setting.Data extraction and synthesis Moderator variables (ie, professional composition, team familiarity, average team size, task type, patient realism and type of performance measure) were coded and random-effect models were estimated. …”
