Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical effect of management of children with epilepsy based on WeChat platform. Methods The WeChat platform for management of children epilepsy was designed according to the idea of the management of chronic diseases. The objective and control groups were investigated by the case-control study. Eighty children with epilepsy who took part in the platform were served as the experimental group. At the same time, 80 children with epilepsy who did not take part in the platform were served as the control group. The questionnaire of basic conditions and users’ perceived acceptance and usage of the platform designed by ourselves were used to collect related information. Results Sixty parents of children with epilepsy continuously used the platform and among them 48 parents (80.0%) had high satisfaction degree of the platform. The factors which affected the satisfaction degree of the platform among basic conditions included whether the users were busy, the comprehensive degree of knowledge about epilepsy before they took part in the study and the degree of taking medicine on time(P<0.05).There were no differences in satisfaction degree among different children sex, residence, parents’ sex, education level, approaches and willingness of knowledge acquisition(P>0.05). Follow-up of 60 children with epilepsy who had been in the platform for 6 months showed total effective rate was 96.7%, while the total effective rate of the control group was 81.4%. Conclusions Management of children with epilepsy based on WeChat platform is feasible and well accepted. Not only does it contribute to standard long-term management of children epilepsy and health education, but also it improves the efficiency of clinical treatment. It is a new way of the management of children with epilepsy.
Objective To analyze the current state, evaluate the accuracy, and determine the influencing factors of hypertension-related subscriptions from official health WeChat accounts. Methods The 36 official health WeChat accounts on the WeChat official accounts monthly list │ September 2022 China WeChat Top 500·New Rank certification were searched using the term "hypertension". We identified diabetes-related subscriptions published from April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. The accuracy of subscriptions was analyzed according to the consistency with clinical practice guidelines and was independently assessed by two specialists. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. Results One hundred and one subscriptions from 36 official health WeChat accounts were included. Forty-seven (46.5%) subscriptions were evaluated as consistent, seven (6.9%) subscriptions were evaluated as inconsistent, and forty-seven (46.5%) subscriptions were evaluated as unconfirmed. The differences between the numbers of reads, "wow" and "like" per thousand reads, were statistically significant. Consistency rates were higher for tweets backed by evidence and experts, and for tweets posted by public figures with the accreditation type "government". Conclusion Hypertension tweets have a good audience base, some of the content is inconsistent with current clinical guideline recommendations, and readers have little ability to screen them. There is a need to develop and improve the review mechanism for writing and publishing hypertension tweets on WeChat.
