Accurate reporting on sex and gender in health research is integral to ensuring that interventions are safe effective. In Canada internationally, governments, organizations, journal editors, agencies have called for more inclusive research, provision of sex-disaggregated data, the integration analysis throughout process. Sex generally defined as an approach considering how why different subpopulations (e.g., diverse genders, ages, social locations) may experience conditions or similar...
Health research has documented disparities in health and outcomes within between populations. When these are unfair avoidable they may be referred to as inequities. Few trials attend factors related inequities, there is limited understanding about how build consideration of inequities into trials. Due important inform the design, conduct reporting so that can evidence more effectively address importantly, ensure not aggravated. In this paper, we discuss approaches integrating...
The importance of sex and gender considerations in research is being increasingly recognized. Evidence indicates that can influence intervention effectiveness. We assessed the extent to which sex/gender reported analyzed Campbell Cochrane systematic reviews. screened all reviews Library (n = 137) a sample from 2016 2017 674). documented frequency terms used each section excluded 5 because they were withdrawn or published updated within same time period as well 4 114 only included studies...
Abstract Background The randomized controlled trial (RCT) is considered the gold standard study design to inform decisions about effectiveness of interventions. However, a common limitation inadequate reporting applicability intervention and results for people who are “socially disadvantaged” this can affect policy-makers’ decisions. We previously developed framework identifying health-equity-relevant trials, along with guideline transparent reporting. In study, we provide descriptive...
Background Randomised controlled trials can provide evidence relevant to assessing the equity impact of an intervention, but such information is often poorly reported. We describe a conceptual framework identify health equity-relevant randomised with aim improving design and reporting trials. Methods An interdisciplinary international research team engaged in iterative consensus building process develop refine via face-to-face meetings, teleconferences email correspondence, including...
The purpose of this study was to translate evidence from Cochrane Reviews into a format that can be used facilitate shared decision making during the consultation, namely patient aids.
Objective We describe the use of an integrated knowledge translation (KT) approach in development CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials extension for equity (‘CONSORT-Equity 2017’), and advisory board-research team members’ (‘the team’) perceptions KT process. Design This is observational study to processes experience with a structured develop CONSORT-Equity 2017. Participant observation survey were used 38 members. Setting Use CONSORT health research reporting guideline contributes...
Abstract Thirty-one cases of empyema due to ruptured amoebic liver abscess treated by either intercostal tube drainage or decortication are presented. On account the rapid development a thick membrane, was successful only in which were seen early. The poor general condition patient cause death 4 5 fatal cases.
Randomized controlled trials ("randomized trials") can provide evidence to assess the equity impact of an intervention. Decision makers need know about impacts healthcare interventions so that people get is best for them. To better understand interventions, a range who were potentially ultimate users research results involved in six-phase project extend CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials Statement health ("CONSORT-Equity 2017"). We identified these "knowledge users" as: patients and...
Background: Patient decision aids are effective knowledge translation tools mostly used to prepare patients for making. Over 115 trials of patient show improved quality and participation in Many clinical practice guidelines recommend shared However, successful interventions facilitating making during the consultation need target healthcare professional. Objective: The objective is develop a consult aid order facilitate consultation. Methods: Building upon over 20 years developing evaluating...
