Comparative effectiveness of multi-sensory interventions for reducing pain among premature infants: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: A series of multi-sensory interventions are proved to be effective in reducing pain among premature infants. Nevertheless, there lacks a comparison of these interventions to find the most suitable and optimal one for clinical decision-making.

Objective: This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to compare the effectiveness of various multi-sensory interventions, and to identify the optimal intervention for alleviating pain in premature infants.

A meta-analysis-based adverse outcome pathway for the male reproductive toxicity induced by microplastics and nanoplastics in mammals.

The male reproductive toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) has attracted great attention, but the latent mechanisms remain fragmented. This review performed the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) analysis and meta-analysis in 39 relevant studies, with the AOP analysis to reveal the cause-and-effect relationships of MPs/NPs-induced male reproductive toxicity and the meta-analysis to quantify the toxic effects. In the AOP framework, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the molecular initiating event (MIE), which triggered several key events (KEs) at different levels.

Effects of perineal massage during childbirth on maternal and neonatal outcomes in primiparous women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Perineal massage during childbirth has been recommended as an effective measure to prevent perineal injury. However, the overall effects of perineal massage during childbirth on maternal and neonatal outcomes in primiparous women remain inconclusive. Particularly, the effects of perineal massage begun during different stages of labor need to be further investigated.

Clinical First-Trimester Prediction Models for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication that negatively impacts the health of both the mother and child. Early prediction of the risk of GDM may permit prompt and effective interventions. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the study characteristics, methodological quality, and model performance of first-trimester prediction model studies for GDM.

Nurses' turnover intention, hope and career identity: the mediating role of job satisfaction.

Background: A high turnover rate has become a critical issue in the field of nursing and how to tackle the problem of nursing turnover has received increased attention worldwide. Hope, career identity, job satisfaction may be useful for reducing turnover. The aim of this study is to explore the relationships among career identity, hope, job satisfaction, and the turnover intention of nurses, and to test the mediating role of job satisfaction on the associations of hope and career identity with turnover intention.
