Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms with the FRED X Flow Diverter Stent: Mid-term Angiographic and Safety Results.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to assess the mid-term efficacy and safety of the FRED X flow diverting stent (FDS) in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The FRED X FDS is relatively new with limited data on its longer-term effectiveness and safety profile.

Methods: Patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with the FRED X FDS at two UK centres, between March 2021 and July 2022 with at least 18 months follow-up, were retrospectively reviewed.

Exploring Adolescents' Understanding, Experiences and Beliefs About Pain: A Qualitative Study.

Identifying and counteracting fraudulent responses in online recruitment for health research: a scoping review.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe how health researchers identify and counteract fraudulent responses when recruiting participants online.

Design: Scoping review.

Eligibility Criteria: Peer-reviewed studies published in English; studies that report on the online recruitment of participants for health research; and studies that specifically describe methodologies or strategies to detect and address fraudulent responses during the online recruitment of research participants.

The Readability Study: A Randomised Trial of Health Information Written at Different Grade Reading Levels.

Background: Despite increasing attention on health literacy and the inclusion of grade reading level recommendations in guidelines, it remains unclear if lowering the grade reading level of written health information to specific target grades improves patient-related outcomes.

Objective: To assess whether grade reading level of written information affects knowledge, perceived reading ease, acceptability and trustworthiness of information and, to explore whether information written at a lower grade reading level reduces disparities in outcomes across health literacy levels.

Design: We conducted a 4-arm online randomized trial with a community sample of adults living in Australia from 31 July to 20 September 2023.
