StatisticsSummary/conclusions: SRC is a traumatic brain injury that is defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces with several common features that help defining its nature. Limitations identified include that current criteria for diagnosing SRC are clinically oriented, and there is no gold/standard to assess their diagnostic properties. A future, more valid definition of SRC would better identify concussed players by demonstrating high predictive positive/negative values. Currently, the use of helmet-based systems to study the biomechanics of SRC is limited to few collision sports. New approaches need to be developed to provide objective markers for SRC. 3 Bullet statements What is already known?• Over the past 50 years, various definitions of sports-related concussion (SRC) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) have been proposed by individual authors, different research groups and international bodies.• Currently, there is no gold or reference standard for SRC diagnosis, and the diagnostic properties of the various definitions have not been studied.• The different definitions of SRC do not concur with one another, and this variability has likely caused information or diagnostic misclassification bias in past studies on the management and prognosis of SRC. What are the new findings?• Amongst currently available consensus-based definitions of SRC, the consensus statement from the CISG can be considered the opinion leader based on citation statistics.• These consensus-based definitions, however, showed different levels of detail and weighted distinct domains differently. Limitations even in those definitions that provided additional clarifying statements were demonstrated, including the overlap / distinction between SRC and mTBI.• Angular and linear head accelerations linked to clinically confirmed SRC demonstrated considerable individual variation.

“…As it is apparent, we cannot directly compare score-based and rank-based aggregation methods. The score-based ones give a relevance score to an item in the range of [1,5], while the rankbased approaches, given that the group recommendation list consist of k items and the size of the group is s, give a relevance score in the range [1, s * k]. In Figure 3(b), we see the value for the score-based aggregation methods.…”

“…However, it is still very hard for a patient to accurately judge the relevance of some information to his own case and to identify the quality of the provided information. The optimal solution for patients, however, is to be guided by healthcare providers to more optimal resources over the Web [1]. Delivering accurate sources to a patient, increases his/her knowledge and changes the way of thinking which is usually referred as patient empowerment.…”

Abstract. FairGRecs aims to offer valuable information to users, in the form of suggestions, via their caregivers, and improve as such the opportunities that users have to inform themselves online about health problems and possible treatments. Specifically, FairGRecs introduces a model for group recommendations, incorporating the notion of fairness. For computing similarities between users, we define a novel measure that is based on the semantic distance between users' health problems. Our special focus is on providing valuable suggestions to a caregiver who is responsible for a group of users. We interpret valuable suggestions as ones that are both highly related and fair to the users of the group.

“…These changes came to pass due to new approaches to disease, which focus on integrated diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease in individuals. One of the major challenges to this path is the amount and the quality of information that is available online [1] considering that health information is one of the most popular research field on the Web. Furthermore, there is a significant increase to the number of people who search online for health and medical information.…”

Multidimensional Group Recommendations in the Health Domain

Providing useful resources to patients is essential in achieving the vision of participatory medicine. However, the problem of identifying pertinent content for a group of patients is even more difficult than identifying information for just one. Nevertheless, studies suggest that the group dynamics-based principles of behavior change have a positive effect on the patients’ welfare. Along these lines, in this paper, we present a multidimensional recommendation model in the health domain using collaborative filtering. We propose a novel semantic similarity function between users, going beyond patient medical problems, considering additional dimensions such as the education level, the health literacy, and the psycho-emotional status of the patients. Exploiting those dimensions, we are interested in providing recommendations that are both high relevant and fair to groups of patients. Consequently, we introduce the notion of fairness and we present a new aggregation method, accumulating preference scores. We experimentally show that our approach can perform better recommendations to small group of patients for useful information documents.

Evaluating the quality of online information about concussions

Abstract: Nine of the websites contained information for each section evaluated; however, information was inconsistent. Healthcare providers should be aware of the variable quality of information available on the Internet and guide patients to more optimal resources.
