  • Understanding the Role of the Ottawa Ankle Rules in Physicians’ Radiography
    Understanding the Role of the Ottawa Ankle Rules in Physicians’ Radiography Decisions: A Social Judgment Analysis Approach Ania Syrowatka Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. Degree in Epidemiology Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Ania Syrowatka, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT Clinical decision rules improve health care fidelity, benefit patients, physicians and healthcare systems, without reducing patient safety or satisfaction, while promoting cost-effective practice standards. It is critical to appropriately and consistently apply clinical decision rules to realize these benefits. The objective of this thesis was to understand how physicians use the Ottawa Ankle Rules to guide radiography decision- making. The study employed a clinical judgment survey targeting members of the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians. Statistical analyses were informed by the Brunswik Lens Model and Social Judgment Analysis. Physicians’ overall agreement with the ankle rule was high, but can be improved. Physicians placed greatest value on rule-based cues, while considering non-rule-based cues as moderately important. There is room to improve physician agreement with the ankle rule and use of rule-based cues through knowledge translation interventions. Further development of this Lens Modeling technique could lend itself to a valuable cognitive behavioral intervention. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my primary supervisor, Dr. Jamie Brehaut, for his mentorship, support and scientific guidance throughout this thesis project. I would like to thank my co-supervisor, Dr. Tim Ramsay, for sharing his statistical expertise to guide analyses of this thesis.

Application of Ottawa Ankle Rules Singh Sudhir 1, Kumar Pankaj 2 and Gupta Prakhar 3 1Department of Orthopaedics, Era Medical College, Lucknow, INDIA 2Apollo Reach Hospital, Karimnagar, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA 3 RS Nursing home, Fatehabad, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in, www.isca.me Received 30 th August 2014, revised 14 th September 2014, accepted 24 th September 2014 Abstract Ankle injury is a common injury sustained in an outdoor activity or as a sport injury presenting to the emergency department. Emergency physiciansusually order radiographs for nearly all ankle injury patients, and 85% of these are negative for fracture. So, low cost high volume tests, such as plain radiographs, contribute as much to increasing costs of providing health care as high technology, low-volume procedures. University of Ottawa (Canada) estimated that US $500 million is spent every year on ankle radiographs in North America and suggested that the money spent in negative radiographs can be better utilized elsewhere in health care systems. This prospective study was conducted in the department of Orthopaedics at B.P. Koirala Institute of health Sciences, Nepal in two phases. We validated OAR in100 patients in 1st phase and in the 2 nd phase we implemented the clinical decision rule of Ottawa ankle rule (OAR) in another 100 patients. All individuals coming to this institute with complains of ankle pain secondary to blunt ankle trauma were labeled as suspected case of ankle sprain and included in this study.
