The Persian Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS-Fa): Translation and Validation Study

The Persian Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS-Fa): Translation and Validation Study

Even a systematic review of mobile health (m Health) interventions conducted in Iran showed that mobile phones (particularly SMS text messages) were increasingly used to deliver health interventions [6]. Some works argue that mobile apps include system design features that would prompt behavior change [7], with positive effects reported on physical function, pain intensity [8], physical activity [3], and mental health [9].

Challenges of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Management From the Perspective of Patients: Conventional Content Analysis

Challenges of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Management From the Perspective of Patients: Conventional Content Analysis

In Iran, a national prevalence of 11.4% means that there are 4 million adults with diabetes. It is estimated that this number will reach 9.2 million by 2030 [5]. Management of diabetes is one of the most important priorities of the World Health Organization [6]. Diabetes complications threaten the health of patients and cause an economic burden on societies [7].

The Standardization of Hospital-Acquired Infection Rates Using Prediction Models in Iran: Observational Study of National Nosocomial Infection Registry Data

The Standardization of Hospital-Acquired Infection Rates Using Prediction Models in Iran: Observational Study of National Nosocomial Infection Registry Data

Therefore, this study aimed to standardize the HAI rate using prediction models in Iran based on the NHSN method. In 2010, a surveillance system for infectious diseases was created in Iran, and all hospitals were requested to record information about HAIs in the hospital. The Iranian Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (INIS) was revised in 2017. In 2018, it collected data from 863 hospitals in all the provinces of Iran and recorded different types of information.

Public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to COVID-19 in Iran: Questionnaire Study

This survey was conducted from March 24 to April 3, 2020, in Iran. We collected data via an online self-administered questionnaire using Google Docs and circulated an online invitation post with a link to the questionnaire on popular social networks in Iran, including Telegram, Instagram, Whats App, Twitter, and Linked In. In the early days of the online circulation of the questionnaire, we requested medical students from all 31 provinces of Iran to send the invitation to others.

Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Postdischarge Patients With COVID-19 in Tehran, Iran: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study (Tele-COVID-19 Study)

Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Postdischarge Patients With COVID-19 in Tehran, Iran: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study (Tele-COVID-19 Study)

Iran is one of the countries that was hit the hardest by the COVID-19 outbreak. The first patient with confirmed COVID-19 in Iran was reported on February 19, 2020 in the city of Qom, which is 200 km away from Tehran, the capital city of Iran. As of December 11, 2020, 1,092,407 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and 51,727 deaths have been reported in the country [7].

SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in the Middle East and North Africa: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in the Middle East and North Africa: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

In Table 3, we see the countries with the highest cumulative caseload of the novel coronavirus, which includes Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Israel with 530,380, 426,634, 342,202, and 303,109 cases, respectively. To eliminate the week-end effect or delayed reporting, we look at 7-day moving average to understand the 7-day average number of cases.

Time to Treatment and In-Hospital Major Adverse Cardiac Events Among Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Who Underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) According to the 24/7 Primary PCI Service Registry in Iran: Cross-Sectional Study

Time to Treatment and In-Hospital Major Adverse Cardiac Events Among Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Who Underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) According to the 24/7 Primary PCI Service Registry in Iran: Cross-Sectional Study

According to a research project in Iran (Iranian Project for Assessment of Coronary Events 2 [IPACE2]), despite relatively timely in-hospital reperfusion performed for patients with STEMI, long-time patient delay was found [23]. However, its impact on MACCEs among patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI in a health care setting of a developing country, such as Iran, has not been evaluated.

Prevalence of Malnutrition Among Elderly People in Iran: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Iran, like many other countries, has been faced with a remarkable shift in population composition and needs to prepare to address this upcoming challenge. Although some actions such as revisiting the educational system and setting up new care settings for the elderly have been taking place, the role of research findings to inform decisions and policies is neglected.

Time to Treatment and In-Hospital Major Adverse Cardiac Events Among Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Who Underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) According to the 24/7 Primary PCI Service Registry in Iran: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

In Iran, according to the Iranian Project for Assessment of Coronary Events 2 (IPACE2) study, although Iranian patients with STEMI received in-hospital reperfusion in a timely fashion, there were long patient delays [24]. However, the effects of these delays on MACEs among patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI in health care settings of a developing country such as Iran is still unknown.
