Article Synopsis
- Many-analyst studies investigate how well different analysis teams can interpret the same dataset and how robust their conclusions are against alternative methods.
- Typically, these studies only report one outcome measure, like effect size, making it hard to grasp the full impact of different analysis choices.
- To address this, researchers created the Subjective Evidence Evaluation Survey (SEES) using feedback from experts, helping to evaluate the quality of research design and evidence strength, ultimately offering a deeper understanding of analysis outcomes.
Background: Hospitalized neonates are vulnerable to infection and have high rates of antibiotic utilization.
Methods: Fourteen South African neonatal units (seven public, seven private sector) assembled multidisciplinary teams involving neonatologists, microbiologists, pharmacists, and nurses to implement prospective audit and feedback neonatal antimicrobial stewardship (NeoAMS) interventions. The teams attended seven online training sessions.
Network psychometrics uses graphical models to assess the network structure of psychological variables. An important task in their analysis is determining which variables are unrelated in the network, i.e.

In an attempt to improve the status quo we have implemented Bayesian estimation routines for five popular single-test reliability coefficients in the open-source statistical software program JASP. Using JASP, researchers can easily obtain Bayesian credible intervals to indicate a range of plausible values and thereby quantify the precision of the point estimate.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic's profound impact on antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) requires clinicians to call on their own resilience to manage the demands of the pandemic and the disruption of ASP activities. This article provides examples of ASP resilience from pharmacists and physicians from seven countries with different resources and approaches to ASP-The United States, The United Kingdom, Canada, Nigeria, Lebanon, South Africa, and Colombia.
