  • User-experience testing of an evidence-to-decision framework for selecting essential medicines

    Open AccessThomas Piggott, Lorenzo Moja et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Essential medicine lists (EMLs) are important medicine prioritization tools used by the World Health Organization (WHO) EML and over 130 countries. The criteria used by WHO’s Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines has parallels to the GRADE Evidence-to-Decision (EtD) frameworks. In this study, we explored the EtD frameworks and a visual abstract as adjunctive tools to strengthen the integrate evidence and improve the tra…

  • Comparing the usability of the World Health Organization’s conventional tuberculosis guidelines to the eTB recommendations map

    Open AccessMicayla Matthews, Tamara Lotfi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Best practices for the dissemination of global health guidelines has not undergone rigorous research. We used a new approach to digitizing World Health Organization (WHO) global tuberculosis guideline recommendations (eTB RecMap) and compared its usability to the conventional method of accessing TB recommendations using the WHO website. We conducted a two-arm superiority randomised controlled trial using a survey among global stakeholders who wer…

  • AI’s gonna have an impact on everything in society, so it has to have an impact on public health”

    Open AccessJ Morgenstern, Jason D Morgenstern et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Experts are cautiously optimistic about AI's impacts on public health practice, particularly for improving disease surveillance. However, they perceived substantial barriers, such as a lack of available expertise, and risks, including inadequate regulation. Therefore, investment and research into AI for public health practice would likely be beneficial. However, increased access to high-quality data, research and education regarding the limitatio…

  • Methods used in adaptation of health–related guidelines

    Open AccessRima A Abdul-Khalek, Rima A Abdul–Khalek et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2017

    BACKGROUND: Adaptation refers to the systematic approach for considering the endorsement or modification of recommendations produced in one setting for application in another as an alternative to de novo development. OBJECTIVE: To describe and assess the methods used for adapting health-related guidelines published in peer-reviewed journals, and to assess the quality of the resulting adapted guidelines. METHODS: We searched Medline and Embase up …

  • Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation

    Open AccessJavier Eslava-Schmalbach, Paola A Mosquera et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017

    Health Policy & Planning doi: 10.1093/heapol/czx126 The funding statement for this article has been updated to contain the following acknowledgement: Srinivasa Vittal Katikireddi acknowledges funding from a NRS Senior Clinical Fellowship (SCAF/15/02), the UK Medical Research Council (MC_UU_12017/13 & MC_UU_12017/15) and the Scottish Government Chief Scientist Office (SPHSU13 & SPHSU15).

  • Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation

    Open AccessJavier Eslava-Schmalbach, Paola A Mosquera et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 19

    The availability of evidence-based guidelines does not ensure their implementation and use in clinical practice or policy making. Inequities in health have been defined as those inequalities within or between populations that are avoidable, unnecessary and also unjust and unfair. Evidence-based clinical practice and public health guidelines ('guidelines') can be used to target health inequities experienced by disadvantaged populations, although g…

  • Robins-I

    Open AccessJonathan Sterne, Jonathan AC Sterne et al.ARTICLEBMJ2016

    Non-randomised studies of the effects of interventions are critical to many areas of healthcare evaluation, but their results may be biased. It is therefore important to understand and appraise their strengths and weaknesses. We developed ROBINS-I (“Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions”), a new tool for evaluating risk of bias in estimates of the comparative effectiveness (harm or benefit) of interventions from studies that d…

  • Values and preferences for oral antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation

    Open AccessPablo Alonso‐Coello, Victor M Montori et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2015

    BACKGROUND: Exploration of values and preferences in the context of anticoagulation therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) remains limited. To better characterize the distribution of patient and physician values and preferences relevant to decisions regarding anticoagulation in patients with AF, we conducted interviews with patients at risk of developing AF and physicians who manage patients with AF. METHODS: We interviewed 96 outpatients and 96 ph…

  • Consumer involvement in systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research

    Open AccessJulia Kreis, Milo A Puhan et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2013

    Background The Institute of Medicine recently recommended that comparative effectiveness research (CER) should involve input from consumers. While systematic reviews are a major component of CER, little is known about consumer involvement. Objective To explore current approaches to involving consumers in US‐based and key international organizations and groups conducting or commissioning systematic reviews (‘organizations’). Design In‐depth, semi‐…

  • The Association of Depressive Symptoms and Pulmonary Function in Healthy Adults

    Heather M Ochs-Balcom, Heather M Ochs‐Balcom et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

    OBJECTIVE: Chronic lung disease is exacerbated by comorbid psychiatric issues and treatment of depression may improve disease symptoms. We sought to add to the literature as to whether depression is associated with pulmonary function in healthy adults. METHODS: In 2551 healthy adults from New York State, we studied the association of depression via the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D) scale score and forced expiratory vol…

  • GRADE guidelines

    Open AccessHoward Balshem, Mark Helfand et al.ARTICLEJournal of Clinical Epidemiology2011

  • The GRADE approach and Bradford Hill's criteria for causation

    Holger J Schünemann, Holger Schünemann et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011Citada por: 2Referencias: 10

    This article describes how the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to grading the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations considers the Bradford Hill criteria for causation and how GRADE may relate to questions in public health. A primary concern in public health is that evidence from non-randomised studies may provide a more adequate or best available measure of a public health strategy'…

  • A Randomized Multicenter Trial to Evaluate Simple Utility Elicitation Techniques in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

    Holger J Schünemann, David Armstrong et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004Referencias: 37

    BACKGROUND: Despite recommendations that patients rating their own health using utility and preference measures such as the feeling thermometer (FT) and standard gamble (SG) should also rate hypothetical marker states, little evidence supports marker state use. We evaluated whether the administration of marker states improves measurement properties of the FT and SG. METHODS: We randomized 217 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease to compl…
