  • A community developed conceptual model for reducing long-term health problems in children with intellectual disability in India

    Open AccessManisha Nair, Mythili Hazarika et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Children with intellectual disability (ID) have a higher risk of long-term health problems in adulthood. India has the highest prevalence of ID of any country with 1.6 million under-five children living with the condition.

Our objective was to develop an evidence-based conceptual framework for a nee…

    Assessment of risk of bias is regarded as an essential component of a systematic review on the effects of an intervention. The most commonly used tool for randomised trials is the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. We updated the tool to respond to developments in understanding how bias arises in randomised trials, and to address user feedback on and limitations of the original tool.

  • Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of population health interventions alongside literature reviews

    Open AccessApostolos Tsiachristas, Mike Gardner et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    Introduction: Decision-makers are interested in the cost-effectiveness of population health interventions but there is often lack of (robust) evidence from empirical economic evaluations. Thus, data synthesis and decision-modelling are frequently used by health economists to inform evidence-based decision-making. However, most literature reviews of evaluation studies are not designed to support an economic evaluation.Aim: We sought to develop a m…

In order for health and social care practitioners, service managers and commissioners to make informed decisions, it is vital to understand how to implement the admission avoidance and early supported discharge components of inte…

  • Discern

    Open AccessSasha Shepperd, Deborah CharnockARTICLEHealth Expectations1998

    In recent years the amount of information written for consumers about health and treatment choices has grown at an unprecedented rate.1 Patients can now obtain information on treatment choices from multiple sources. However, despite this growing investment the quality of information remains variable.2, 3 Only a small proportion of this material is evidence-based, the majority focusing on the processes rather than the outcomes of treatment. It can…
