Using real-world data (RWD) for comparative effectiveness research has gained increasing attention. Real-world is usually not collected with the primary aim of answering questions about medical interventions. Therefore, collection often optimally designed this purpose. For reason, using it can be associated several data-related or analysis-related problems. This article two aims: First all, we will outline basic requirements non-randomized studies based on RWD. In addition, advantages and...
We assess if there are indications that results of registry-based studies comparing the effectiveness interventions might be selectively missing depending on statistical significance (p < 0.05). Eligibility criteria Sample cohort type used data from a patient registry, compared two study arms for assessing medical intervention, and reported an effect binary outcome. Information sources searched PubMed to identify registries in seven different specialties 2022/23. Subsequently, we included...
Osteosynthesis is the internal fixation of fractures or osteotomy by mechanical devices (also called hardware). After bone healing, there are two options: one to remove hardware, other leave it in place. The removal hardware patients without medical indication (elective) controversially discussed. We performed a scoping review identify evidence on elective asymptomatic compared retaining check feasibility performing health technology assessment. In addition, we wanted find out which type...

Abstract We present a new method to compute continuous and bijective maps (surface homeomorphisms) between two or more genus‐0 triangle meshes. In contrast previous approaches, we decouple the resolution at which map is represented from of input discretize via common triangulations that approximate meshes while remaining in correspondence them. Both geometry connectivity these are optimized with respect single objective function simultaneously controls mapping distortion, triangulation...
Background Systematic reviews (SRs) are being published at an accelerated rate. Decision-makers may struggle with comparing and choosing between multiple SRs on the same topic. We aimed to understand how healthcare decision-makers (eg, practitioners, policymakers, researchers) use inform decision-making explore potential role of a proposed artificial intelligence (AI) tool assist in critical appraisal among SRs. Methods developed survey 21 open closed questions. followed knowledge...
Abstract Background : When conducting an Overviews of Reviews on health-related topics, it is unclear which combination bibliographic databases authors should use for searching SRs. Our goal was to determine included the most systematic reviews and identify optimal database reviews. Methods A set 86 with 1219 extracted from a previous study. Inclusion assessed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Epistemonikos, PsycINFO, TRIP. The mean inclusion rate (% reviews) corresponding 95% confidence interval...
