Introduction Rapid, robust and continually updated evidence synthesis is required to inform management of COVID-19 in pregnant postpartum women keep pace with the emerging during pandemic. Methods analysis We plan undertake a living systematic review assess prevalence, clinical manifestations, risk factors, rates maternal perinatal complications, potential for mother-to-child transmission, accuracy diagnostic tests effectiveness treatment (including after miscarriage or abortion). will...
The objective of this meta-epidemiological study was to develop a rating that captures participants’ motivation at the level in digital health intervention (DHI) randomised controlled trials (RCTs). used investigate whether is associated with effect estimates DHI RCTs for cancer patients. development based on bottom-up approach involving collection information baseline empirical studies from Smartphone-RCCT Database. We specified three indicators rating: indicator 1 team actively selects or...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are common and increase morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs. Their control continues to be an unresolved issue worldwide. HAIs epidemiology shows sex/gender differences. Thus the lack of consideration in Cochrane reviews will limit their applicability capacity support informed decisions. This study aims describe extent which interventions for preventing consider sex gender. Methodology appraising prevent HAIs. Search methods: Database Systematic...
Introduction Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients. Recently, it has been recognised that sex may contribute to differential risk for developing sepsis and remains uncertain if the prognosis varies between sexes. The aim this systematic review summarise available evidence assess role as prognostic factor patients with managed intensive care unit (ICU). Methods analysis This protocol studies ICU. primary outcomes include all-cause hospital during first 28 days....
Abstract Background Systematic reviews (SRs) are valuable resources as they address specific clinical questions by summarizing all existing relevant studies. However, finding information to include in systematic can be challenging. Methodological search filters have been developed find articles related questions. To our knowledge, no filter exists for studies on the role of prognostic factor (PF). We aimed develop and evaluate a identify PF Ovid MEDLINE that has maximum sensitivity. Methods...
Sample size determination is a critical aspect of medical studies, influencing the reliability and generalizability research findings. This article explores importance sample in both basic clinical research. The considerations for differ based on type research, whether it involving humans, animals, or cells. In larger necessary to ensure statistical power reliable results, enhancing precision determining an appropriate crucial obtaining valid clinically relevant ensuring sufficient detect...
Sex is a common baseline factor collected in studies that has the potential to be prognostic (PF) several clinical areas. In recent years, research on sex as PF increased; however, this influx of new frequently shows conflicting results across same treatment or disease state. Thus, systematic reviews (SRs) addressing may help us better understand diseases and further personalize healthcare. We wrote article offer insights into challenges we encountered when conducting SRs suggestions how...
Statistical tests are the foundation on which data analysis for all types of clinical, basic and epidemiological research relies upon. Clinicians need to understand these basics biostatistics correctly relay results from their other scientific publications. The first article in this three-part editorial series aims present, a clear way, some essential concepts that can assist gastroenterologist understanding research, an evidence-based clinical practice.
