Systematic review of the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of non-pneumatic antishock garments in low- and middle-income countries
Rethinking reflexivity, replicability and rigour in qualitative research
This commentary re-examines recent proposals to define quality in qualitative research through a singular unifying framework, situating them alongside historical and ongoing debates in qualitative methodology. By juxtaposing different traditions, this piece highlights areas of tension between procedural notions of rigour and interpretive approaches that emphasise the co-constructed, context-bound nature of meaning. The discussion argues that qual…
Reimagining Intermediate Care
As Singapore's population ages, community hospitals must evolve to meet increasingly complex care needs. In this perspective, we share reflections from leading the Community Hospital of the Future (CHoF) pilot at Jurong Community Hospital-a national initiative to enhance intermediate care. The pilot introduced proactive screening, expanded diagnostic capabilities, and intensified rehabilitation services. We reflect on the operational and policy c…
Piecing together the narrative of #longcovid
Objective: To characterize the public conversations around long COVID, as expressed through X (formerly Twitter) posts from May 2020 to April 2023. Methods: Using X as the data source, we extracted tweets containing #long-covid, #long_covid, or "long covid," posted from May 2020 to April 2023. We then conducted an unsupervised deep learning analysis using Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). This method allowed us to pr…
Hype or hope? Ketamine for the treatment of depression
In summary, the public's multifaceted perception leans towards a hopeful stance on ketamine's therapeutic potential for depression
What is said about #donateliver or #liverdonor? Reflexive thematic analysis of Twitter (X) posts from 2012 to 2022
The multifaceted experiences of individuals involved in the transplantation process, both recipients and donors, should be further studied in our efforts to improve the critical shortage of liver donors

Barriers to Healthcare Access for Indigenous Communities
Experiences of environmental services workers in a tertiary hospital in Asia during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on all walks of life, in particular, environmental services workers in healthcare settings had higher workload, increased stress and greater susceptibility to COVID-19 infections during the pandemic. Despite extensive literature describing the impact of the pandemic on healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses, studies on the lived experiences of environ…
Examining the Prevailing Negative Sentiments Surrounding Measles Vaccination
Despite the proven safety and clinical efficacy of the Measles vaccine, many countries are seeing new heights of vaccine hesitancy or refusal, and are experiencing a resurgence of measles infections as a consequence. With the use of novel machine learning tools, we investigated the prevailing negative sentiments related to Measles vaccination through an analysis of public Twitter posts over a 5-year period. We extracted original tweets using the …
Public Discourse Surrounding Suicide during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Many studies have forewarned the profound emotional and psychosocial impact of the protracted COVID-19 pandemic. This study thus aimed to examine how individuals relate to suicide amid the COVID-19 pandemic from a global perspective via the public Twitter discourse around suicide and COVID-19. Original Twitter tweets from 1 February 2020 to 10 February 2021 were searched, with terms related to "COVID-19", "suicide", or "self-harm". An unsupervise…
Females with Eating Disorders and Urinary Incontinence
Eating disorders (EDs) are complicated mental illnesses with significant treatment resistance and dropout rates. For successful treatment, it is important for clinicians to better understand the patients' narrative and their lived experiences. A thorough psychodynamic understanding of patients' childhood attachment and primary relationships, personality traits and mental processes is, therefore, crucial for managing patients with ED. Interestingl…
Impact of Covid-19 on Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Singapore
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Singapore. We used data from the Singapore Civil Defence Force to compare the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of all Emergency Medical Services (EMS)-attended adult OHCA during the pandemic (January-May 2020) and pre-pandemic (January-May 2018 and 2019) periods. Pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulat…
A Weakly-Supervised Named Entity Recognition Machine Learning Approach for Emergency Medical Services Clinical Audit
Clinical performance audits are routinely performed in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to ensure adherence to treatment protocols, to identify individual areas of weakness for remediation, and to discover systemic deficiencies to guide the development of the training syllabus. At present, these audits are performed by manual chart review, which is time-consuming and laborious. In this paper, we report a weakly-supervised machine learning approac…
