    Early Detection of Lower Adherence to Long-Term E-Diary Recording: A Checkpoint to Target Early Educational Intervention in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
    (Wiley, 2026) Dramburg, S.; Hernandez Toro, C. J.; Grittner, U.; Tripodi, S.; Arasi, S.; Acar Sahin, A.; Matricardi, P. M.
    Background: Digital symptom monitoring via e-Diary apps can support the diagnosis and management of chronic diseases with trigger-induced exacerbations such as pollen allergies. Attrition is a major challenge for continuous e-Diary usage with an unsupervised approach. Objective: To investigate adherence to e-Diary reporting, its early determinants and predictors in a blended care setting among pollen allergic patients with heterogeneous cultural backgrounds. Methods: The @IT.2020 observational multicenter study recruited patients with diagnosed seasonal allergic rhinitis from seven Southern European/Mediterranean countries. Baseline characteristics were investigated through questionnaires, skin prick tests and serum specific IgE measurements. The study doctors asked patients to record their allergy symptoms via e-Diary (AllergyMonitor, TPS) daily during the clinically relevant season of pollination and increased mould concentrations. Results: Among 815 patients (467 adults, 348 children), the average prescribed e-Diary recording period was 106 (SD 47.1) days, with an average completion rate of 75.2% (SD 21.2%). Children (>= 10 years) filled 73.8% (95% CI 68.1-79.4) of prescribed days without parental support. We identified a stable 'higher' and a more variable 'lower' adherence cluster. Adherence was weakly associated with disease severity, but not with age, gender, country, education or digital literacy. Short-term (first 3 weeks) adherence was strongly associated with long-term adherence (partial R-2 = 0.387, p < 0.001), with 87.6% of lower adherent patients remaining poorly adherent beyond 3 weeks. Conclusion: In a blended care setting, adherence to e-Diary compilation among pollen allergic patients is high, irrespective of age and cultural background. Early identification of lower adherence is possible and might inform early interventions to improve patient adherence.

    Assessment of the Quality and Reliability of Information on Nutrition After Bariatric Surgery on Youtube
    (Springer, 2020) Batar, Nazli; Kermen, Seda; Sevdin, Sezen; Yildiz, Nida; Guclu, Duygu
    Background YouTube (TM) is a platform that many people, including patients, use to access health information. Recent studies have revealed that videos on YouTube (TM) are misleading or that medical videos may not contain appropriate information. This study aimed to assess the quality and reliability of videos on nutrition after bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods The keywords "after bariatric surgery diet" and "weight loss surgery postop diet" were used, and the first 100 videos for each keyword on YouTube (TM) were analyzed by considering the source, duration, content, and the number of likes of the video. The popularity of the video was calculated using the video power index (VPI) and view rate. The educational quality of the videos was evaluated using the DISCERN score, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score, the Global Quality Score (GQS), the usefulness score, and a novel postoperation nutrition score (PONS). Results One hundred fourteen patients were included in the study. The mean duration and number of views were 12.51 min and 87,558.46, respectively. The DISCERN score, JAMA score, GQS, and usefulness score of the physicians or dietician-based videos were significantly higher than those of the patient-based videos (p < 0.001). Positive correlations were found between the VPI and view ratio, as well as between the duration and number of likes. Additionally, the DISCERN score was significant correlated with the duration and number of likes. Significantly positive correlations were found between the usefulness score and duration, usefulness score and number of likes, and PONS and duration (p < 0.01). Conclusions Informational videos on nutrition after bariatric surgery on YouTube (TM) are of low quality. Although the videos uploaded by physicians and dieticians have higher quality, only a few are available. Additionally, patients prefer to watch low-quality videos.
