Aspirin Use and Awareness for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Among Hispanics
Use of online promotion to encourage patient awareness of aspirin use to prevent heart attack and stroke
BACKGROUND: Literature on health promotion evaluation and public understanding of health suggests the importance of investigating behaviour over time in conjunction with information environment trends as a way of understanding programme impact. We analysed population response to online promotion of an educational tool built by the Ask About Aspirin campaign in the USA to inform people about aspirin as a preventive aid. METHODS: We collected 156 w…
Trends in Smoking Among Adults From 1980 to 2009
Objectives. We examined population-based smoking trends in Minnesota between 1980 and 2009. Methods. The Minnesota Heart Survey (MHS) is a population-based, serial, cross-sectional study of cardiovascular risk factor trends among Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan residents. The MHS recently completed its sixth survey (1980–1982 [n = 3799], 1985–1987 [n = 4641], 1990–1992 [n = 5159], 1995–1997 [n = 6690], 2000–2002 [n = 3281], and 2007–2009 [n =…
Recommendations for examining and interpreting funnel plot asymmetry in meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials
Funnel plots, and tests for funnel plot asymmetry, have been widely used to examine bias in the results of meta-analyses. Funnel plot asymmetry should not be equated with publication bias, because it has a number of other possible causes. This article describes how to interpret funnel plot asymmetry, recommends appropriate tests, and explains the implications for choice of meta-analysis model

The Association of Registered Nurse Staffing Levels and Patient Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between registered nurse (RN) staffing and patient outcomes in acute care hospitals. STUDY SELECTION: Twenty-eight studies reported adjusted odds ratios of patient outcomes in categories of RN-to-patient ratio, and met inclusion criteria. Information was abstracted using a standardized protocol. DATA SYNTHESIS: Random effects models assessed heterogeneity and pooled data from individual studies. Increased RN …
Correlates of Breast-feeding in a Rural Population
Rural women with less than college educations and who work full-time may need the most support for initiating and maintaining breast-feeding
A Nonparametric “Trim and Fill” Method of Accounting for Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis
Meta-analysis collects and synthesizes results from individual studies to estimate an overall effect size. If published studies are chosen, say through a literature review, then an inherent selection bias may arise, because, for example, studies may tend to be published more readily if they are statistically significant, or deemed to be more “interesting” in terms of the impact of their outcomes. We develop a simple rank-based data augmentation t…
Trim and Fill
We study recently developed nonparametric methods for estimating the number of missing studies that might exist in a meta‐analysis and the effect that these studies might have had on its outcome. These are simple rank‐based data augmentation techniques, which formalize the use of funnel plots. We show that they provide effective and relatively powerful tests for evaluating the existence of such publication bias. After adjusting for missing studie…
