Effects of work-directed interventions on return-to-work in people on sick-leave for to common mental disorders-a systematic review.

Purpose: To evaluate the body of evidence of the effects of work-directed interventions on return-to-work for people on sick leave due to common mental disorders (i.e., mild to moderate depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders and reactions to severe stress).

Internet-delivered psychological treatment as an add-on to treatment as usual for common mental disorders: A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized trials.

Background: Psychological treatments for common mental disorders are increasingly being delivered remotely via the internet. Evidence suggests that internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) is superior to waitlist. However, the benefits are unclear of using this treatment modality as an add-on to treatment as usual (TAU) in regular healthcare.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of noninstitutional psychosocial interventions to prevent juvenile criminal recidivism.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of noninstitutional psychosocial interventions in preventing recidivism among criminal adolescents.

Method: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized and nonrandomized controlled trials assessing the impact on recidivism among juveniles aged 12-17. The included studies had a low to medium risk of bias and were published between 2000 and 2019.

Predictors of costs related to cardiovascular disease among patients with atrial fibrillation in five European countries.

Aims: To estimate predictors of direct costs and costs of hospitalization related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) recruited to the Euro Heart Survey on AF (EHS-AF) in Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Methods And Results: Annual direct costs were modelled by country using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. For costs of hospitalization related to CVD, logistic regressions followed by conditional OLS regression were employed.

Time to insulin treatment and factors associated with insulin prescription in Swedish patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the time between the start of OAD treatment and the initiation of insulin therapy and to identify the factors associated with insulin prescription among Swedish patients with type 2 diabetes in Uppsala County.

Methods: Retrospective, population-based, primary-care data gathered within the Swedish RECAP-DM study were used to identify type 2 diabetic patients who initiated OAD treatment. A Kaplan-Meier survival estimate for time to initiation of insulin therapy was generated and factors associated with insulin prescription were tested using a Cox proportional-hazards model.
