Effect of two different participant information sheets on recruitment to a falls trial:an embedded randomised recruitment trial

Background/Aims: Recruitment to trials of intervention for older people who fall is challenging. Evidence suggests that the word falls has negative connotations for older people, and this may present a barrier to engaging with trials in this area. We therefore tested whether a participant information sheet that minimised reference to falls could improve recruitment rates. Methods: We conducted a study within a trial, embedded within a randomised controlled trial of vitamin K versus placebo to improve postural sway in patients aged 65 and over with a history of falls. Potential participants were identified from primary care lists in 14 practices and were randomised to receive either a standard participant information sheet or an information sheet minimising use of the word falls, instead focussing on maintenance of health, fitness and balance. The primary outcome for this embedded trial was the proportion of responses expressing interest in participating received in each arm. Secondary outcomes were the proportion of those contacted attending a screening visit, consenting at screening, and the proportion contacted who were randomised into the main trial. Results: In all, 4145 invitations were sent, with an overall response rate of 444 (10.7%). In all, 2148 individuals received the new information sheet (minimising reference to falls); 1997 received the standard information sheet. There was no statistically significant difference in response rate between those individuals sent the new information sheet and those sent the standard information sheet (10.1% vs 11.4%; difference 1.3% (95% confidence interval -0.6% to 3.2%); p = 0.19). Similarly, we found no statistically significant difference between the percentage of those who attended and consented at screening in the two groups (2.1% vs 2.7%; difference 0.6% (95% confidence interval: -0.4% to 1.6%); p = 0.20), and no statistically significant difference between the percentage randomised in the two groups (2.0% vs 2.6%; difference 0.6% (95% confidence interval -0.4% to 1.6%); p = 0.20). Conclusions: Use of a participant information sheet minimising reference to falls did not lead to a greater response rate in this trial targeting older people with a history of falls.</p

An intelligent approach to design three-dimensional aircraft sheet metal part model for manufacture

Aircraft sheet metal part manufacturing is a knowledge-intensive process, and the manufacturability and manufacturing information are required to be considered in three-dimensional (3D) model by knowledge reuse. This paper presents a 3D model structure of the aircraft sheet metal part and an intelligent approach to design the model for manufacture combining intelligent manufacturability analysis with manufacturing information definition. Processability of part, formability of material and cost of fabrication are proposed to analyse the manufacturability of the part. Knowledge base for manufacturability analysis is established, and knowledge is reused to evaluate the part’s manufacturability intelligently to meet the constraints of manufacturing conditions. Non-geometric information is defined in the 3D model to meet the needs of digital manufacturing and inspection using model-based technology. An example is given to describe the process of design for manufacture, which shows that the approach can realize the concurrent design and digital manufacturing of aircraft sheet metal
