- ItemDevelopment of mobile technologies for the prevention of cervical cancer in Santiago, Chile study protocol : a randomized controlled trial(2017) Martínez Gutiérrez, Javiera; Soto Subiabre, Mauricio Andrés; Capurro, Daniel; Puschel Illanes, Klaus; Momany, McKenzie C.; Ciampi, Francis; Thompson, BetiAbstract Background In Chile, more than 500 women die every year from cervical cancer, and a majority of Chilean women are not up-to-date with their Papanicolau (Pap) test. Mobile health has great potential in many health areas, particularly in health promotion and prevention. There are no randomized controlled trials in Latin America assessing its use in cervical cancer screening. The ‘Development of Mobile Technologies for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer in Santiago, Chile’ study aims to determine the efficacy of a text-message intervention on Pap test adherence among Chilean women in the metropolitan region of Santiago. Methods/design This study is a parallel randomized-controlled trial of 400 Chilean women aged 25–64 who are non-adherent with current recommendations for Pap test screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to (1) a control arm (usual care) or (2) an intervention arm, where text and voice messages containing information and encouragement to undergo screening will be sent to the women. The primary endpoint is completion of a Pap test within 6 months of baseline assessment, as determined by medical record review at community-based clinics. Medical record reviewers will be blinded to randomization arms. The secondary endpoint is an evaluation of the implementation and usability of the text message intervention as a strategy to improve screening adherence. Discussion This intervention using mobile technology intends to raise cervical cancer screening adherence and compliance among a Chilean population of low and middle-low socioeconomic status. If successful, this strategy may reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02376023 Registered 2/17/2015.

- ItemEpistemonikos: a comprehensive database of systematic reviews for health decision-making(2020) Rada G., Gabriel; Bravo Soto, Gonzalo A.; Bravo Jeria, Rocío; Capurro, Daniel; Morel Marambio, Macarena; Neumann Burotto, Gonzalo Ignacio; Ortiz Muñoz, Luis; Peña Durán, José Esteban; Rivera Mercado, Solange; Soto Subiabre, Mauricio AndrésAbstract Background Systematic reviews allow health decisions to be informed by the best available research evidence. However, their number is proliferating quickly, and many skills are required to identify all the relevant reviews for a specific question. Methods and findings We screen 10 bibliographic databases on a daily or weekly basis, to identify systematic reviews relevant for health decision-making. Using a machine-based approach developed for this project we select reviews, which are then validated by a network of more than 1000 collaborators. After screening over 1,400,000 records we have identified more than 300,000 systematic reviews, which are now stored in a single place and accessible through an easy-to-use search engine. This makes Epistemonikos the largest database of its kind. Conclusions Using a systematic approach, recruiting a broad network of collaborators and implementing automated methods, we developed a one-stop shop for systematic reviews relevant for health decision making.
