Teledermatology: Kids are not just little people

Naka, Fludiona, Makkar, Hanspaul, Lu, Jun·2017·Clinics in Dermatology

Abstract

Teledermatology has emerged as a promising solution for pediatric and adult patients accessing dermatologic care in a health care environment fraught with barriers to access. Teledermatology has been extensively evaluated in terms of diagnostic accuracy, clinical outcomes, patient and provider satisfaction, and costs, relative to traditional health care delivery models. Current research indicates that teledermatology is effective and efficient in diagnosis and management of skin diseases. The majority of studies on the subject, however, rely on adult patient data. Pediatric patients, with their unique clinical features and challenges, may interact with telemedicine differently than their adult counterparts. Maximizing the benefits of teledermatology in pediatric dermatologic care is dependent on future research. We review and analyze the commonalities and differences between pediatric and adult patient care using teledermatology.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Caregivers tend to be more deeply involved in the care of the pediatric patient compared to more self-directed adult patient care.

    “As compared to more self-directed adult patient care, caregivers tend to be more deeply involved in the care of the pediatric patient, with Naka et al [1] having suggested that adopting a family-oriented approach to care and communication is essential.”
  • The limitations and difficulties intrinsic to pediatric teleconsultation may be compounded by obstacles in obtaining details of the full pediatric medical history, which can be time-consuming.

    “The limitations and difficulties intrinsic to pediatric teleconsultation may be compounded by obstacles in obtaining details of the full pediatric medical history (including details on prenatal, birth, and developmental history), which can be time-consuming [1].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
