Background: Home visitation programs are uniquely positioned to reach young children during the first 2000 days of life (ages 0 to 5 years), a critical time period to prevent childhood obesity.

Objective: This scoping review aimed to identify early childhood obesity prevention interventions implemented within home visitation during the first 2000 days of life, summarize outcomes assessed, and examine if and how nonmaternal caregivers and technology were included.

Methods: Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews, three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL) were searched from January 1980 to June 2023 for obesity prevention interventions that utilized home visitation as a treatment modality, targeted children ≤5 years old, reported on child weight outcomes, were experimental or quasi-experimental designs with a control or comparison arm, and had full-text available in English.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how gender affects decision-making for oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), using a large dataset of over 16 million patients from UK primary care between 2005-2020.
  • It found that in patients aged 40-75 without prior strokes, women had a lower adjusted rate of primary outcomes (death, ischemic stroke, or thromboembolism) compared to men, primarily due to lower mortality rates in women.
  • The study concludes that omitting gender from clinical risk scores could streamline the process of determining which AF patients should receive oral anticoagulation.
