Designing and validating a clinical decision support algorithm for diabetic nephroprotection in older patients by Simon LeClerc, Nicolas Fernandez, Kelley Kilpatrick, Cheryl Sadowski, Noor Alsalemi, Naoual Elftouh, Jean-Philippe Lafrance, Sherilyn Houle

“…The aim of this research is to design and validate a CDS algorithm for prescribing renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) for older patients with diabetes.Methods The design of the CDS tool included the following phases: (1) gathering evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomised clinical trials to determine the number needed to treat (NNT) and time-to-benefit (TTB) values applicable to our target population for use in the algorithm. (2) Building a list of potential cases that addressed different prescribing scenarios (starting, adding or switching to RAASi). (3) Reviewing relevant guidelines and extracting all recommendations related to prescribing RAASi for DKD. (4) Matching NNT and TTB with specific clinical cases. (5) Validating the CDS algorithm using Delphi technique.Results We created a CDS algorithm that covered 15 possible scenarios and we generated 36 personalised and nine general recommendations based on the calculated and matched NNT and TTB values and considering the patient’s life expectancy and functional capacity. …”

Shared Decision-Making in Medications for Elderly Patients with Multi-Morbidities: A Phenomenological Study by Liu YD, Zhao H, Zhang CY, Zheng YJ, Hou JN, Yang JL, Liu XY

“…Three themes and nine sub-themes were identified, as follows: (1) willingness to participate in decision-making (large differences in willingness and discrepancies between willingness and reality); (2) the current status of multi-morbidity management (lack of guidelines, healthcare systems and decision-making support systems); and (3) factors influencing participation in decision-making (bias in the power structure, lack of information exchange, insufficient knowledge and awareness of shared decision-making by healthcare workers, differences in patients’ self-management initiative and medication-focused motivations).Conclusion: Elderly patients with multi-morbidities were affected by multiple impediments to participation in medication decision-making. …”

Optimisation of decision making for construction projects of assembly buildings based on improved PSO algorithm by Peng Wang

“…To enhance the decisionmaking process, this research utilizes particle swarm algorithms to optimize construction project decisions in assembled buildings. To tackle the issue of early convergence in particle swarm algorithms, three swarm enhanced particle swarm algorithms are proposed by merging the variational mechanism of the differential evolution algorithm and quantifying the decision making tasks for assembly building construction projects to be solved by the enhanced particle swarm algorithm. …”
