Abstract:
Evidence-based clinical guidelines generally consider single conditions, and rarely multimorbidity. We developed an evidence-based guideline for a structured care program to manage polypharmacy in multimorbidity by using a realist synthesis to update the German polypharmacy guideline including the following five methods: formal prioritization in focus groups; systematic guideline review of evidence-based multimorbidity/polypharmacy guidelines; evidence search/synthesis and recommendation development; multidisciplinary consent of recommendations; feasibility test of updated guideline. We identified the need for a better description of the target group, decision support, prioritization of medication, consideration of patient preferences and anticholinergic properties, and of healthcare interfaces. We conducted a systematic guideline review of eight guidelines and extracted and synthesized recommendations using the Ariadne principles. We also included 48 systematic reviews. We formulated and agreed upon 34 recommendations for the revised guideline. During the feasibility test, guideline use enabled 57% of GPs to identify problems, leading to medication changes in 49% and self-assessed improvement in 56% of patients. Although 58% of GPs felt that it was too long, 92% recommended it. Polypharmacy should be systematically reviewed at least annually. Patients, family members, and healthcare professionals should monitor and adjust it using prospective process validation, taking into account patient preferences and agreed treatment goals.

Abstract:
Background: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after tissue trauma is frequent and may have a long-lasting impact on the functioning and quality of life. The development of CPSP increases the burden on both the patient and the community. This review aims to systematically review articles and, lastly, pull an evidence-based guideline for CPSP management in adult patients in resource-limited areas. Methodology: The review was reported based on preferred reporting items for the systemic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) protocol. A literature search was conducted from the Cochrane, PubMed/Medline, and Google Scholar databases, and other gray literature from 2010 to 2022. The conclusion was made based on the level of evidence. Results: A total of 3521 articles were identified through the database by searching strategies. Finally, by filtering duplicates unrelated to the topics, 22 articles (9 meta-analyses and systematic reviews, 12 systematic reviews, and one cohort study) were selected on the management of CPSP in adult patients. Filtering was made based on the intervention, outcome data of the population, and methodological quality. Conclusion: Given the complexity and multidimensional nature of chronic postsurgical pain, effective assessment, and management require a comprehensive, multiaxial approach. Adequate preoperative preparation and counseling, potential risk identification and optimization, and use of a multimodal approach, and noninvasive surgical techniques are crucial in reducing the development of chronic postsurgical pain.

Abstract:
Purpose Strokes are the most common cause of long-term disability of adults in developed countries. Continuous participation in rehabilitation can alleviate some of the consequences, and support recovery of stroke patients. However, physical rehabilitation requires commitment to tedious exercise routines over lengthy periods of time, which often cause patients to dropout of this form of therapy. In this context, game-based stroke rehabilitation has the potential to address two important barriers: accessibility of rehabilitation, and patient motivation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides a review of design efforts in human-computer interaction (HCI) and gaming research to support stroke rehabilitation. Findings Based on extensive review, this paper highlights challenges and opportunities in this area, and discusses an architecture guideline for a game-based stroke rehabilitation system. Originality/value This study was an original study.

Abstract:
Sandhivata (osteoarthritis), a degenerative disorder of the joints especially affecting weight bearing joints like knee joint, elbow joint etc. results in painful and restricted movement of the affected joint. Old age, malnutrition, obesity, working pattern, etc. are the contributing factors for manifestation of Sandhivata. Sandhivata has been mentioned in Ayurved under title of Vatavyadhi. Various Ayurvedic formulations like Kwatha, Guggulu Kalpana, Ghreeta, Taila, Gutika, Rasa Aushadhi and Panchakarma procedures like, Abhyanaga, Swedana, Basti, Janubasti, Rasayana therapy, Agnikarma have been mentioned in classics for treatment of Sandhivata. Use of these various formulations and treatment modalities, considering Vikara Prakruti, Vikara Adhisthana and Vikara Sammutthana can provide expected results in such joint deteriorating condition. An attempt has been done to review various formulations mentioned in Ayurveda classics for treatment of Sandhivata and tried to establish the guideline for rational use of these treatment modalities in specific pathological condition of Sandhivata, which may be useful for clinician and researcher for their clinical practice and future research plan respectively

Abstract:
Objective: The Genitourinary Cancer Disease Site Group (GUDSG) and Cancer Care Ontario’s Program in Evidence-Based Care (PEBC) in Ontario, Canada developed a guideline on low-dose rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) in patients with early-stage low-grade prostate cancer in 2001. The current updated guideline focuses on the research questions regarding the effect of LDR-BT alone, the effect of LDR-BT with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and the selection of an isotope.Methods: This guideline was developed by using the methods of the Practice Guidelines Development Cycle and the core methodology was a systematic review. MEDLINE and EMBASE (from January 1996 to October 2011), the Cochrane Library, main guideline websites, and main annual meeting abstract websites specific for genitourinary diseases were searched. Internal and external reviews of the draft guideline were conducted.Results: The draft guideline was developed according to a total of 10 systematic reviews and 55 full text articles that met the preplanned study selection criteria. The quality of evidence was low to moderate. The final report reflects integration of the feedback obtained through the internal review (two oncologists and a methodologist) and external review (five target reviewers and 48 professional consultation reviewers) process, with final approval given by the GU DSG and the PEBC.Conclusion: The main recommendations are: (1) For patients with newly diagnosed low-risk or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who require or choose active treatment, LDR-BT alone is a treatment option as an alternative to EBRT alone or RP alone; and (2) I-125 and Pd-103 are each reasonable isotope options.

Abstract:
This study aims at reviewing the published scientific literature on the topics of a game development-based learning (GDBL) method using game development frameworks (GDFs) with the perspective of (a) summarizing a guideline for using GDBL in a curriculum, (b) identifying relevant features of GDFs, and (c) presenting a synthesis of impact factors with empirical evidence on the educational effectiveness of the GDBL method. After systematically going through the available literature on the topic, 34 relevant articles were selected for the final study. We analyzed the articles from three perspectives: (1) pedagogical context and teaching process, (2) selection of GDFs, and (3) evaluation of the GDBL method. The findings from the 34 articles suggest that GDFs have many potential benefits as an aid to teach computer science, software engineering, art design, and other fields and that such GDFs combined with the motivation from games can improve the students’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors in contrast to the traditional classroom teaching. Furthermore, based on the results of the literature review, we extract a guideline of how to apply the GDBL method in education. The empirical evidence of current findings gives a positive overall picture and can provide a useful reference to educators, practitioners, and researchers in the area of game-based learning.

Abstract:
Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common conditions for neonate inpatients. Indonesia faces a major challenge in which different guidelines regarding the management of this condition were present. This study aimed to compare the existing guidelines regarding prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring in order to create the best recommendation for a new hyperbilirubinemia guideline in Indonesia. Methods: Through an earlier survey regarding adherence to the neonatal hyperbilirubinemia guideline, we identified that three main guidelines are being used in Indonesia. These were developed by the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IPS), the Ministry of Health (MoH), and World Health Organization (WHO). In this study, we compared factors such as prevention, monitoring, methods for identifying, risk factors in the development of neonatal jaundice, risk factors that increase brain damage, and intervention treatment threshold in the existing guidelines to determine the best recommendations for a new guideline. Results: The MoH and WHO guidelines allow screening and treatment of hyperbilirubinemia based on visual examination (VE) only. Compared with the MoH and WHO guidelines, risk assessment is comprehensively discussed in the IPS guideline. The MoH guideline recommends further examination of an icteric baby to ensure that the mother has enough milk without measuring the bilirubin level. The MoH guideline recommends referring the baby when it looks yellow on the soles and palms. The WHO and IPS guidelines recommend combining VE with an objective measurement of transcutaneous or serum bilirubin. The threshold to begin phototherapy in the WHO guideline is lower than the IPS guideline while the exchange transfusion threshold in both guidelines are comparably equal. Conclusions: The MoH guideline is outdated. MoH and IPS guidelines are causing differences in approaches to the management hyperbilirubinemia. A new, uniform guideline is required.

Abstract:
Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease that is characterized by reversible airway obstruction due to hyper-responsiveness of the tracheobronchial tree. The condition disproportionately affects male children, females, and the aged globally, and its prevalence keeps rising despite being a preventable condition in terms of relapse. Most asthmatic patients receive care in primary care settings. Various health agencies have developed asthma management guidelines to improve the quality of asthma care; however, in some cases, adherence to these guidelines is substandard. The overarching aim of this study was to determine whether primary care providers manage asthma in line with the available guidelines. A qualitative systematic review was conducted by searching for journal articles published between 2005 and 2016 relating to guideline use in primary care management of asthma. Twenty-nine primary studies evaluating adherence to asthma management guidelines were included. The collected data were analyzed through thematic data analysis techniques, and various themes emerged with regard to the research questions. Generally, the findings suggest that there is a mismatch between what is needed by patients/caregivers and what is currently provided by primary care providers (PCPs) in primary care settings and that asthma management guidelines are only partially followed or not used. Emerging themes were classified into 3 main categories: physician-, patient-, and institution-related barriers. The study provides recommendations on how adherence to asthma management can be improved.

Abstract:
Due to physical, cognitive and emotional impairments, many individuals are unemployed or under-employed following a traumatic brain injury. The research evidence links the rigour of a vocational evaluation to future employment outcomes. Despite this link, no specific guidelines exist for vocational evaluations. Using the research evidence and a diverse panel of clinical and academic experts, the primary objective of this doctoral research was to develop an inter-professional clinical practice guideline for vocational evaluation following traumatic brain injury. The objective of the guideline is to make explicit the processes and factors relevant to vocational evaluation, to assist evaluators (i.e. clients, health and vocational professionals, and employers) in collaboratively determining clients’ work abilities and developing recommendations for work entry, re-entry or vocational planning. The steps outlined in the Canadian Medical Association's Handbook on Clinical Practice Guidelines were utilized to develop the guideline and include the following: 1) identifying the guideline’s objective/questions; 2) performing a systematic literature review; 3) gathering a panel; 4) developing recommendations; 4) guideline writing; 5) pilot testing. The resulting guideline includes 17 key recommendations within the following seven domains: 1) evaluation purpose and rationale; 2) initial intake process; 3) assessment of the personal domain; 4) assessment of the environment; 5) assessment of occupational/job requirements; 6) analysis and synthesis of assessment results; and 7) development of evaluation recommendations. Results from an exploratory study of the guideline’s implementation by occupational therapists in their daily practices revealed that clinicians used the guideline to identify practice gaps, systematize their evaluation processes, enhance inter-professional and inter-stakeholder communication, and re-conceptualize their vocational evaluations across disability groups. Statistically significant improvements were also noted in clients’ participation scores on the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory–4 following guideline use. This guideline may be applicable to individuals with TBI, clinicians, health and vocational professionals, employers, professional organizations, administrators, policy makers and insurers.

AbstractThis study systematically reviewed research that applied dual-task interventions using VR technology for balance and cognitive tasks among older adults. Ten databases were searched following the PRISMA guideline, and 18 studies were selected based on their evidence levels and risk of bias. The selected studies consisted of 10 RCTs, 6 non-randomized controlled trials, and one each of case and qualitative studies. The types of balance tasks included standing and sitting postures, and all studies utilized cognitive tasks that required concentration. A total of 30 physical assessment tools and 42 cognitive assessment tools were identified. The results showed that virtual reality interventions improved balance and cognitive abilities among older adults and had a positive effect on fall prevention. These findings suggest that VR technology can be an effective tool for improving the physical and cognitive health of older adults.

Abstract:
AbstractThe success of health interventions often hinges on complex processes of implementation, the impact of sociopolitical and cultural contexts, resource constraints and opportunity costs, and issues of equity and accountability. Qualitative research offers critical insights for understanding these issues. “Qualitative evidence syntheses” (or QES)—modeled on quantitative systematic reviews—have recently emerged as an important vehicle for integrating insights from qualitative evidence into global health policy. However, it is challenging to integrate QES into policymaking in ways that are both acceptable to the often-conservative health policy world and consonant with social science’s distinctive methodologies and paradigms. Based on my experiences participating in and observing numerous guideline working group meetings and interviews with key informants, this chapter offers an auto-ethnographic account of an effort to integrate QES into the World Health Organization’s global OptimizeMNH guidelines for task shifting in maternal and newborn health (MNH). It is based on my experiences participating in and observing numerous guideline working group meetings as well as interviews with several key informants. Advocates of QES were successful in helping to make a place for qualitative evidence in this global guideline. Their work, however, required a delicate balance between adopting quantitatively inspired methods for evidence synthesis and innovating new methods that would both suit the project needs and be seen as legitimate by qualitative researchers. This case study of the development of one WHO guideline does not signal a revolution in knowledge production, but it does show there remains room—perhaps growing room—for a more expansive vision of what forms of knowledge need to be on the table when developing global health policy.

Abstract:
AbstractThe previous chapters indicate that development approaches using innovative technology or Artificial Intelligence must be reviewed against the background of the increasing demands on interdisciplinary project teams as well as the growing complexity of functions. Interviews with engineers, executive managers and a psychologist from the development department of automobile manufacturers show that a structured guided process increases quality in respect of operational and functional safety. The surveys were conducted using the example of the “Code of Practice for the Design and Evaluation of ADAS” including ISO 26262 requirements. It focused on 1. Success and/or failure of guided development projects; 2. Different perceptions, expectations, ideas and conceptions about the optimal development process; 3. Liability-based product responsibility of the developers and 4. general developer’s attitude to the development process. As one of the insightful results, a practice-oriented guideline with supportive advice “forces” all participants involved in the product development process to sit around a table introducing and discussing their different aspects in a structured way. Through the surveys, the developers were sensitized to the advantages of a guideline-based development process. Often the employees themselves are the best advisors. Each expert contributes to the development of a reliable system through their special field of expertise. The developers concerned are the most aware of the weaknesses and can initiate innovations in companies from the “bottom-up”. A final consulting concept (checklist with 101 questions in Annex B) includes guidelines and requirements and will support the efficient, user-friendly development of new automated vehicle functions.

Abstract:
During the last decade many countries have become increasingly interested in the development and use of evidence-based practice guidelines, recognising that guidelines are key tools to improve the quality and appropriateness of health care. They are considered to be the ideal mediator for bridging the gap between the growing stream of research findings and actual clinical practice. Systematic reviews of guideline evaluations have shown that clinical practice guidelines can be an effective means of both changing the process of healthcare delivery and improving outcomes. A review of 59 guideline evaluation studies found that, in all but 4, statistically significant improvements occurred in clinical practice after implementation [17]. A systematic review of 87 studies on the use of guidelines concluded that 81 studies revealed evidence of improved patient outcomes [12]. Evidence-based guidelines are becoming an important and indispensable part of quality healthcare because of their potentials to improve quality and also reduce cost of health-care. Adherence to guidelines and protocols may reduce health-care costs up to a 25% [11]. We will present an overview of the history of guidelinedevelopment and give some widely used definitions of guidelines. Guidelines are developed in a structured and systematic way, this process will be explained later. Also implementation tools necessary to put the guidelines into practice in an active way, will be discussed.

Abstract:
Clinical practice guidelines development follows systematic methodologies incorporating evidence synthesis, expert consensus, and stakeholder input. Rigorous evaluation processes assess evidence quality, recommendation strength, and implementation feasibility. Protocol adaptation mechanisms enable customization of national guidelines to local healthcare contexts while maintaining evidence-based standards. Implementation strategies utilize multiple interventions including clinical decision support systems, educational programs, and audit mechanisms. Quality indicators measure adherence to guideline recommendations and clinical outcomes through standardized metrics. Local consensus development processes integrate multidisciplinary expertise to establish facility-specific protocols aligned with available resources and population needs. Regular review cycles ensure guideline currency and incorporate emerging evidence through structured update procedures. Barriers to guideline adherence include resource constraints, clinical complexity, and provider resistance, requiring targeted implementation strategies.

Abstract:
Background: The rapid technical progress in the domain of clinical Natural Language Processing and information extraction (IE) has resulted in challenges concerning the comparability and replicability of studies. Aim: This paper proposes a reporting guideline to standardize the description of methodologies and outcomes for studies involving IE from clinical texts. Methods: The guideline is developed based on the experiences gained from data extraction for a previously conducted scoping review on IE from free-text radiology reports including 34 studies. Results: The guideline comprises the five top-level categories information model, architecture, data, annotation, and outcomes. In total, we define 28 aspects to be reported on in IE studies related to these categories. Conclusions: The proposed guideline is expected to set a standard for reporting in studies describing IE from clinical text and promote uniformity across the research field. Expected future technological advancements may make regular updates of the guideline necessary. In future research, we plan to develop a taxonomy that clearly defines corresponding value sets as well as integrating both this guideline and the taxonomy by following a consensus-based methodology.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Solid particle erosion is one of the key issues affecting operational reliability and the cost of tools and equipment in the oil and gas industry. In a particular erosive environment, the extent to which erosion occurs depends on many factors, such as flow conditions, fluid properties, wall material, and particle properties. As a result, it is difficult to investigate the effects of all of these factors using experimental methods. One comprehensive alternative, however, is to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which can provide the analyst with a great deal of information about the phenomenon, such as where erosion occurs as well as its severity. Of course, when using any CFD-based erosion prediction method, care must be taken when selecting appropriate meshing practices, solution parameters, and sub-models. Best practices and guidelines for solid particle erosion modeling using CFD are described. In addition to discussing many parameters that should be considered when using CFD to predict solid particle erosion, the effects of many of these parameters and sub-models within the CFD codes are also discussed with several examples comparing CFD results to available experimental data. This paper can serve as a first step toward developing a comprehensive guideline for the industrial modeling of erosion phenomena and to help engineers improve the accuracy of erosion wear predictions.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In selecting materials for corrosive sour oil field environments, the materials of choice must be reliable and cost-effective. Materials have to meet criteria for corrosion resistance and mechanical properties in service environments for the required service life. Both age-hardened nickel-base alloys and cold-worked solid solution nickel-base alloys offer many advantages such as high-strength, toughness and excellent corrosion resistance. Alloy 028 (UNS N08028), alloy 825 (UNS N08825), alloy G-3 (UNS N06985), alloy 050 (UNS N06950) and alloy C-276 (UNS N10276) are among the primary solid solution high nickel Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA's) currently used in the cold worked condition for Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG's) in sour gas wells. The primary CRA machining quality age-hardened bar products used with alloys 028 and 825 OCTG's for wellhead and subsurface completions of gas wells are alloy 925 (UNS N09925) and alloy 718 (UNS N07718). The primary CRA machining quality age-hardened bar product used with alloys G-3, 050 and C-276 OCTG's for wellhead and subsurface completions of gas wells is alloy 725 (UNS N07725), the 120 ksi (827 MPa) minimum yield strength grade, and alloy 725HS, the 140 ksi (965 MPa) minimum yield strength grade. This paper presents guideline tables and graphs for cold-worked nickel alloys 028, 825, G-3, 050 and C-276 and age-hardened alloys 718, 925 and 725. The primary CRA machining quality age-hardened bar products used with OCTG’s are ranked for a range of sour service conditions. Based on an extensive literature review of laboratory test and field data, the alloys have demonstrated corrosion resistance up to 230°C (450°F) depending on the chloride concentration, and H2S content. Data are also included for alloy 686 (UNS N06686) and alloys 725 weld overlays and for alloy 25-6MO (UNS N08926) wire lines.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Available fracture toughness (FT) test methodologies are reviewed in this publication to compare their details. Accurate characterization is crucial to obtain the material properties utilized in new technology development projects such as high pressure high temperature (HPHT) equipment in sour service. While fracture mechanics was utilized only for fitness for service activities in the industry, the new HPHT design guideline requires fracture mechanics analysis for a pressure containing primary barrier equipment. Therefore, FT becomes a critical parameter to be obtained and utilized in design verification. Selection of a test method (standard) for sour service condition is based on the application of the equipment since each method has its own limitations. In this work, a comprehensive study was performed to better understand the FT testing in a corrosive environment. Seven common standards, ASTM E399, ASTM E1820, ASTM E1681, ASTM F1624, ISO 12135, BS7448 and NACE TM0177 for FT testing of Metals were scrutinized in details. These standards were reviewed; pros and cons are tabulated and discussed. Recommendations that could be used in decision making process to select the right standard for the appropriate purposes are noted. Additionally, future research work that would help to obtain more accurate test data is recommended.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract High acoustic energy has the potential to cause severe Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV) that lead to fatigue failure in a piping system. Over the past few decades, many technical papers have been published on AIV research, and several industry codes and guidelines have been developed. However, gaps and inconsistencies exist, due to limited data and unverified assumptions. With new technologies — in continuous development — in the oil and gas industry, process conditions (such as temperature and pressure) have seen significant changes in recent industrial projects. As a result, the acoustic energy in piping system has been growing exponentially, exceeding the limits of current industrial codes and guidelines. In this paper, a comprehensive review of AIV methodologies is conducted. Failure data reported in 1980s and 90s, as well as AIV methodologies developed in the 2000s (Carucci-Mueller curve, Eisinger curve, Bruce curve, Energy Institute Guideline, MTD Guideline, etc.) are reviewed along with their limitations and unverified assumptions (based on available data at that time) and compared to the latest research. The latest failure data from recent projects is used to demonstrate the application range for each method. Methods developed based on data in 1980s/90s were limited to sound power level (PWL) of 180 dB, while many plants designed recently have PWL greater than 185 dB, with some as high as 200 dB. Applying traditional methods to new plants with excessive PWL leads to unrealistic and overly conservative design leading to thicker piping and higher costs. This paper hopes to close these major gaps including noise induced by sonic flow, noise attenuation, effectiveness of asymmetric reinforcement, explore fatigue limits of contour fittings and risks of welded supports. Further goal is to evaluate inconsistencies between industry codes and standards. Most AIV methodologies developed in the past focused on branch fittings with nearly no testing data on welded supports. Many fittings such as sweepolet, sweeplus®, forged tee, 45-deg fitting, and short-contour were not evaluated due to lack of testing data. Failure modes and lessons learned during the development phase are addressed to emphasize the importance of AIV evaluation during design and operation along with the latest trend in industry codes and guidelines on AIV. In the past, AIV evaluation was often conducted as a post-event assessment, resulting in costly physical changes after the plant had already been constructed. With the latest revision of ASME B31J Code, most engineers now perform AIV evaluation early in the design phase to mitigate risks. The comprehensive review of AIV methodologies presented in this paper helps to provide a more comprehensive guideline for safe design practices and structural integrity.

Abstract:
According to Post Fukushima action items in Korea, KHNP has established the integrated aging management system to reinforce aging management of system, structures, and components (SSCs) effectively for seven operating units, which are in service for more than twenty years, and for Kori Unit 1 and Wolsung Unit 1, which are subject to continued operation (CO) based on NUREG-1801 GALL report. KHNP’s integrated aging management programs (AMPs) focus on the establishment of aging management system for long-lived operation of nuclear power plants in Korea. The integrated aging management system consists of the integrated AMP standard guideline, operating guideline for each plant, individual AMPs of each plant, and AMP Data Base (DB) system including implementation results, basic DB information related to facilities operating in NPPs, and operating information such as operating experience and evaluation report. The integrated aging management system is importantly utilized for Periodic Safety Review (PSR) and the renewal of CO. Therefore, it will be largely contributed to keep NPPs the level of safety for long time operation through the effective aging management.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to summarise different approaches reported in studies to evaluate guideline adherence in physiotherapy care. Further, we aim to identify clinical and methodological factors that may explain the assumed heterogeneity of guideline adherence among physiotherapists. Condition being studied: Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed statements that summarise the current state of knowledge from research and practice. They are intended to support clinicians and patients to make decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances (2). Various studies show that evidence-based physiotherapy care can lead to improved patient outcomes (e.g. pain, function, quality of life) and at the same time contribute to a lower utilisation of medical services and a reduction in health care costs. The degree of agreement between medical or therapeutic care and the recommendations made in guidelines is often described in studies with the term "guideline adherence". However, the heterogeneous use of the term guideline adherence and the lack of a standardised research methods or operationalisation lead to limited comparability of the study results.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives. Survival rates for pediatric cancer have dramatically increased since the 1970s, and the population of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) exceeds 500,000 in the United States. Cancer during childhood and related treatments lead to long-term health problems, many of which are poorly understood. These problems can be amplified by suboptimal survivorship care. This report provides an overview of the existing evidence and forthcoming research relevant to disparities and barriers for pediatric cancer survivorship care, outlines pending questions, and offers guidance for future research. Data sources. This Technical Brief reviews published peer-reviewed literature, grey literature, and Key Informant interviews to answer five Guiding Questions regarding disparities in the care of pediatric survivors, barriers to cancer survivorship care, proposed strategies, evaluated interventions, and future directions. Review methods. We searched research databases, research registries, and published reviews for ongoing and published studies in CCS to October 2020. We used the authors’ definition of CCS; where not specified, CCS included those diagnosed with any cancer prior to age 21. The grey literature search included relevant professional and nonprofit organizational websites and guideline clearinghouses. Key Informants provided content expertise regarding published and ongoing research, and recommended approaches to fill identified gaps. Results. In total, 110 studies met inclusion criteria. We identified 26 studies that assessed disparities in survivorship care for CCS. Key Informants discussed subgroups of CCS by race or ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and insurance coverage that may experience disparities in survivorship care, and these were supported in the published literature. Key Informants indicated that major barriers to care are providers (e.g., insufficient knowledge), the health system (e.g., availability of services), and payers (e.g., network adequacy); we identified 47 studies that assessed a large range of barriers to survivorship care. Sixteen organizations have outlined strategies to address pediatric survivorship care. Our searches identified only 27 published studies that evaluated interventions to alleviate disparities and reduce barriers to care. These predominantly assessed approaches that targeted patients. We found only eight ongoing studies that evaluated strategies to address disparities and barriers. Conclusions. While research has addressed disparities and barriers to survivorship care for childhood cancer survivors, evidence-based interventions to address these disparities and barriers to care are sparse. Additional research is also needed to examine less frequently studied disparities and barriers and to evaluate ameliorative strategies in order to improve the survivorship care for CCS.

Full text
Abstract:
This report describes the diversity of experiences of people with life-limiting illnesses who were supported by hospices in the West Midlands during the pandemic. It is one of four cohort reports – the others focus on patients, carers, and frontline hospice staff respectively – that form the evidence base for a Policy Report into the impact of Covid-19 on hospices. In these reports we address the nine key themes that were identified as potentially important in our previous collaborative knowledge synthesis (MacArtney et al., 2021) and seek to address some of the policy gaps we identified in our review of recommendations for hospice practice and policy (van Langen-Datta et al., 2022). Together these outputs are the result of an Economic and Social Research Council funded study (grant number: ES/W001837/1) that is one of the first studies to contribute an in-depth exploration of hospice-based experiences of the pandemic to the growing body of knowledge about the effectiveness and effects of changes to hospice services, at regional and national levels, in response to Covid-19. As the key decision makers during the Covid-19 pandemic, this part of the ICoH study aimed to explore senior managers’ experiences and to understand how they responded to the challenges imposed on them whilst still delivering a high-quality palliative care service. Coupled with hospice grey evidence in the form of, for example, senior management emails to staff, policy and guideline documents, we can start to understand the pressures and context in which decisions were made, including what worked well and what did not. The aim of this report is therefore to explore experiences of senior managers during the Covid-19 pandemic to identify recommendations for clinical practice and healthcare policy. Drawing on these findings, this report offers recommendations for hospices managers and clinicians who continue to provide care and support for people with life limiting conditions during the ongoing pandemic. These recommendations will also be of interest to local commissioners who will need to work with hospices in their region to ensure people with life-limiting conditions receive the support they need, and national policymakers who will need to ensure the necessary resources and guidance are available.

Abstract:
The Centre for Population Health, NSW Ministry of Health, is updating the 2017 Growth and Weight Assessment Guidelines for children and adults. The focus is on integrating the 'Ask, Advice, Help' (AAH) model into routine clinical care to identify patients above a healthy weight and provide referral pathways to intensive programs. The updated guidelines aim to use culturally sensitive language to avoid weight stigma. This rapid review aimed to evaluate brief Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) interventions that can be implemented by clinicians in hospital or community-based care settings. The findings will inform updates to the guidelines, ensuring alignment with best practices for obesity management and health promotion. The review looked at 10 studies, with one focused on children and nine on adults. For children, a quick talk during a dental visit helped reduce sugary drink consumption, and some kids who were overweight got referred to healthy lifestyle programs. For adults, short advice sessions (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes) led to weight loss and better health habits. For example, a 10-minute session helped people lose about 1kg over three months. The studies followed the 'Ask, Advice, Help' model, which includes measuring weight, giving advice, and referring to more intensive programs. However, there were only a few studies, and they didn't cover all weight groups. This review highlights the potential of brief interventions to contribute to obesity prevention and health promotion, aligning with NSW Health's strategic goals for population health.
