Cohort study is the observational study with the highest strength of causality demonstration, which is often used to test the etiological hypothesis and determine the risk factors of diseases. However, it often takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to carry out a cohort study, and it is time-consuming. At the same time, due to the long follow-up time, it is difficult to maintain the compliance of the study population, which is prone to loss to follow-up bias. In recent years, driven by network technology, a new type of cohort study design, e-cohort study, has gradually emerged, which is based on the network to recruit participants, follow up and collect data. Taking advantage of the wide coverage and high flexibility of the network, it provides a new strategy for improving the recruitment speed, participant participation and compliance of cohort study. This article summarizes the development history, current status, key points of design and implementation, advantages and challenges of e-cohort study, so as to help researchers to fully understand and apply this study design to solve practical clinical problems.
ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of earthquake rescue with the help of wise information technology.MethodsThe Jiuzhaigou earthquake of magnitude 7.0 occurred at 21:19 on August 8th 2017. Three hours and 38 minutes after the earthquake, a triad model of remote consultation, mobile video consultation and mobile text consultation was established to assist the earthquake rescue based on the mobile on-line medical consultation application and telemedicine center in West China Hospital. Patients classification, primary diagnosis, psychological counseling, victims searching were done by this novel rescue model.ResultWithin 72 hours after the earthquake, there were 114 doctors taking part in the earthquake rescue, including 4 remote consultations (hospital to hospital), 7 video consultations (doctor to victim), 487 mobile text consultations (doctor to victim), and 32 cases of which were highly relative to earthquake rescue, including one case of positioning for victim-searching.ConclusionThe triad model of earhquake rescue which was first initiated by West China Hospital played an important role in assisting earthquake rescue and achieved good results.
