  • Mobile technology offers a platform for accessible knowledge translation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a mobile smartphone application for the Canadian CDH Collaborative's CPG.
  • To enhance the utilization of CDH guidelines among healthcare professionals.
  • To promote knowledge translation in the management of CDH.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a mobile app with 22 evidence-based recommendations across CDH care phases.
  • Inclusion of evidence summaries, PubMed links, and expert consensus.
  • Collection and analysis of download statistics, user data, and session details from September 2018 to June 2020.

Main Results:

  • The app attracted 1,586 users globally, with significant reach in Canada, the US, and Brazil.
  • The Android version enhanced visibility, particularly in Brazil.
  • The guideline compliance checklist and postnatal ventilation sections were highly accessed, indicating utility.

Conclusions:

  • The mobile app serves as an effective platform for disseminating CDH guidelines.

Cystic Fibrosis: Management01:24

Cystic Fibrosis: Management

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that predominantly affects individuals of Northern European descent, occurring at a rate of 1 in 3500. It is caused by a genetic mutation in a gene on chromosome 7, most commonly the ΔF508 mutation, that codes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This results in thicker mucus secretions and obstruction pathologies in multiple organs, including the lungs and sinuses.
