摘要
电子显微镜(EM)是活检诊断肾脏疾病的重要辅助工具。然而,电子显微镜是一种昂贵的技术,并非普遍可用。为了了解肾脏病专家对 EM 的看法,我们对佛兰德的肾脏病专家进行了一项调查。通过专业组织 NBVN(Nederlandstalige Belgische Vereniging voor Nefrologie)向比利时(佛兰德斯)讲荷兰语的肾病学家发放了调查问卷。肾病学家对 EM 可及性的平均满意度为 4.0,满意度从 1(非常不满意)到 5(非常满意)不等。32.5%的肾科医生表示,订购电子病历的主要障碍似乎是周转时间过长。61.0%的肾病学专家认为这些报告大多可以理解。据估计,EM 对肾脏疾病诊断的影响高于对治疗的影响:24.4% 的受访者估计,在不到 5% 的病例中,诊断发生了变化,而 68.3% 的受访者估计,在不到 5% 的病例中,治疗发生了变化。然而,仍有改进的余地,尤其是在周转时间方面。
Value of electron microscopy as perceived by nephrologists in Flanders, Belgium.
Electron microscopy (EM) is an important complementary tool in biopsy diagnosis of kidney disease. However, EM is a costly technique and not universally available. In order to understand nephrologists' perspectives on EM, a survey among Flemish nephrologists was conducted. The survey explores nephrologists' knowledge and satisfaction with EM, the barriers in its use, and its role in decision-making.A questionnaire was sent out to Dutch-speaking nephrologists in Belgium (Flanders) via the professional organization NBVN (Nederlandstalige Belgische Vereniging voor Nefrologie).The average satisfaction of EM accessibility in nephrologists, was 4.0 on a scale from 1 (very unsatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). The main barrier in ordering EM appeared to be the long turnaround time, indicated by 32.5% of nephrologists. The reports were found mostly understandable by 61.0% of the nephrologists. The impact of EM on diagnosis of kidney disease was estimated higher than its impact on the treatment: 24.4% of respondents estimated diagnosis changes in less than 5% of cases, versus 68.3% estimated treatment changes in less than 5% of cases.This study provides key insights into nephrologists' perception on EM services, revealing high overall satisfaction. However, there is potential for improvement, especially regarding turnaround times.
期刊介绍:
Ultrastructural Pathology is the official journal of the Society for Ultrastructural Pathology. Published bimonthly, we are the only journal to be devoted entirely to diagnostic ultrastructural pathology.
Ultrastructural Pathology is the ideal journal to publish high-quality research on the following topics:
Advances in the uses of electron microscopic and immunohistochemical techniques
Correlations of ultrastructural data with light microscopy, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, biochemistry, cell and tissue culturing, and electron probe analysis
Important new, investigative, clinical, and diagnostic EM methods.
