Background: Sustaining independence is important for older people, but there is insufficient guidance about which community health and care services to implement.
Objectives: To synthesise evidence of the effectiveness of community services to sustain independence for older people grouped according to their intervention components, and to examine if frailty moderates the effect.
Review Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Objective: To synthesise evidence of the effectiveness of community based complex interventions, grouped according to their intervention components, to sustain independence for older people.
Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, clinicaltrials.
Background: There is limited evidence regarding the needs of older people, including those living with frailty, to inform research priority setting.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the range of research priorities of community-dwelling older people living in their own home, including those living with frailty.
Methods: Included studies were from economically developed countries and designed to identify the priorities for research or unmet needs of community-dwelling older people.
Objectives: To report our experience using version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2).
Study Design And Setting: Two reviewers independently applied RoB 2 to results of interest in a large systematic review of complex interventions and reached consensus. We recorded the time taken, and noted and discussed our difficulties using the tool, and the resolutions we adopted.
The origin and assignment of the complex main and satellite X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) features of the cations in ionic compounds have been the subject of extensive theoretical studies using different methods. There is agreement that within a molecular orbital model, one needs to take into account different types of configurations. Specifically, those where a core electron is removed, but no other configuration changes are made and those where in addition to ionization, there are also shake or charge-transfer changes to the ionic configuration.
