Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines include screening-colonoscopy and sequential high sensitivity fecal occult blood testing (HSgFOBT), with expectation of similar effectiveness based on the assumption of similar high adherence. However, adherence to screening-colonoscopy compared to sequential HSgFOBT has not been reported. In this randomized clinical trial, we assessed adherence and pathology findings for a single screening-colonoscopy versus sequential and non-sequential HSgFOBT.

Objective
Most health literacy measures rely on subjective self-assessment. The Critical Thinking about Health Test is an objective measure that includes two multiple-choice questions (MCQs) for each of the nine Informed Health Choices Key Concepts included in the educational resources for secondary schools. The objective of this study was to determine cut-off scores for passing (the border between having and not having a basic understanding and the ability to apply the nine concepts) and mastery (the border between having mastered and not having mastered them).
Design
Using a combination of two widely used methods: Angoff’s and Nedelsky’s, a panel judged the likelihood that an individual on the border of passing and another on the border of having mastered the concepts would answer each MCQ correctly. The cut-off scores were determined by summing up the probability of answering each MCQ correctly. Their independent assessments were summarised and discussed. A nominal group technique was used to reach a consensus.
Setting
The study was conducted in secondary schools in East Africa.
Participants
The panel included eight individuals with 5 or more years’ experience in the following areas: evaluation of critical thinking interventions, curriculum development, teaching of lower secondary school and evidence-informed decision-making.
Results
The panel agreed that for a passing score, students had to answer 9 of the 18 questions and for a mastery score, 14 out of 18 questions correctly.
Conclusion
There was wide variation in the judgements made by individual panel members for many of the questions, but they quickly reached a consensus on the cut-off scores after discussions.

Stroke, Volume 54, Issue Suppl_1, Page ANS8-ANS8, February 1, 2023. Objective:Although the importance of early tube feeding after stroke has been established, many risks and problems such as negative impacts on swallow function, respiratory infections and feeling uncomfortable, also warrant attention. The trajectory of swallowing function recovery may be related to each patient’s characteristics. There is still no systematic predictors for clinical decision-making regarding oral feeding resumption. The aim is to explore predictors of complete oral feeding resumption after feeding tube with stroke based on the modified V-VST.Methods:A total of 86 stroke patients with tube feeding were enrolled after admission in rehabilitation hospital from 2020 to 2021. The swallowing function was screened with modified V-VST. If a patient complete every viscosity more than 5ml, feeding tube will be removed. Oral feeding was begun using mechanical soft diet and thickener to ensure every meal safe. 55 patients(63.95%) resumed complete oral intake, while 31 patients(36.05%) presented a more permanent way of tube feeding. We compared the baseline and clinical characteristics between the groups. To analyze oral feeding resumption probability, the Kaplan-Meier method was used.Results:The days of onset to rehabilitation hospital admission was significantly shorter in the complete oral resumption group(20.89±11.27 vs 37.16±27.37; P21days) tolerated tube feeding longer.(P
