Digital Technologies in Healthcare: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis

Digital technologies hold great promise and have the ability to change healthcare and drug development by changing the way we collect, process, and visualize health data. The implementation of digital technologies in healthcare can make the public healthcare more accessible and flexible. This includes patient’s treatment, complications, open data on health, latest biomedical research developments, among other things. Medical services and diagnostic tools are becoming more accessible and available, even in less developed economies. However numerous issues concerning digital health technologies, such as safety, testing, reliability, and ethical considerations, remain unresolved. The aim of the study is to discuss and analyze the recent progress in the application of digital healthcare such as ICT, smart/wearable devices, artificial intelligence, big data, and telemedicine in healthcare. Scopus database was used for the publication search. We merged descriptive analysis and bibliometric analysis to determine the temporal evolution, most productive journals, top authors, most productive countries, and co-occurrence of keywords (to identify well-explored topics) in the available scientific literature concerning digital technology in the healthcare field. Using content analysis, we have determined the research hotspots of the scientific publications during the past five year

Intrauterine insemination with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in the treatment of subfertility

Objective: To determine the success rate of intrauterine insemination (IUI), following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and to identify the prognostic factors associated with successful outcome in couples undergoing this form of assisted reproduction.Design: Case series.Place and Duration of Study: Concept Fertility Centre, Karachi, Pakistan from January - December 2004.Patients and Methods: A total of 290 IUI procedures carried out for the treatment of unexplained and male factor subfertility were included. The age of women ranged from 20 to 44 years and the duration of subfertility were variable. All women had tubal patency confirmed before undergoing COH with one of the three regimens. IUI was performed at follicular maturity of \u3e 16 mm and endometrial thickness of \u3e 7 mm. Main outcome measures analyzed were pregnancy rate per cycle of IUI, miscarriage rate and ongoing pregnancy rate. Other variables observed were the various prognostic factors associated with successful outcome in IUI, such as maternal age, effect of different regimen of COH, motile sperm count and numbers of pre-ovulatory mature follicles \u3e 16 mm. Data was collected and entered in SPSS version 10. Chi- square test of significance was applied and p-value determined.Results: The cycle pregnancy rate (CPR), miscarriage rate and ongoing pregnancy rate was 10%, 13.8% and 8.6% respectively. CPR was 12% in women 3% in \u3e35 years (p-value 0.03). Significant difference was not observed in the CPR with three different COH regimes. CPR increased dramatically with motile sperm count of \u3e10 millions/ml compared with \u3c 10 millions/ml (12.3% vs. 2.8%, p-value 0.02). Significantly higher pregnancy rate was observed with increasing number of mature follicles \u3e16 mm (6.2%, 12.9% and 30% with one, two and three follicles, p-value 0.0019). There was no case of OHSS and only one case of twin gestation.Conclusion: The overall CPR in patients undergoing IUI following COH at our clinic is comparable to the pregnancy rates as shown in different studies. Younger age, motile sperm count of \u3e 10 millions/ml and two or three mature follicles \u3e16 mm are good prognostic factors for successful outcome. However, no significant difference was observed in CPR with different COH regimes
