How cost-effective is nutrition care delivered in primary healthcare settings? A systematic review of trial-based economic evaluations.

Context: Nutrition care is an effective lifestyle intervention for the treatment and prevention of many noncommunicable diseases. Primary care is a high-value setting in which to provide nutrition care.

Objective: The objective of this review was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of nutrition care interventions provided in primary care settings.

Effectiveness of dietetic consultation for lowering blood lipid levels in the management of cardiovascular disease risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Aim: Evidence of the effectiveness of dietetic consultation for the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors has not been previously synthesised. A systematic review and four meta-analyses evaluated the effectiveness of dietetic consultation for lowering blood lipid levels in high-risk individuals in primary health-care settings.

Methods: Of the 4860 records identified, 10 eligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs, n = 1530) were evaluated for reporting blood lipid outcomes following dietetic consultation (DN)-defined as at least one exclusive individual face-to-face consultation with a dietitian and comparators (C)-defined as no nutrition intervention or usual or minimal care provided by physicians and/or nurses.

Questionnaires that measure the quality of relationships between patients and primary care providers: a systematic review.

Background: International guidance on models of care stress the importance of good quality, continuous patient-provider relationships to support high quality and efficient care and hospital avoidance. However, assessing the quality of patient-provider relationships is challenging due to its experiential nature. The aim of this study was to undertake a systematic review to identify questionnaires previously developed or used to assess the quality of continuous relationships between patients and their provider in primary care.

Nutrition care guidelines for men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy: do we have enough evidence?

Background: To review the evidence available to support clinical practice guidelines for dietary interventions aimed at mitigating the side effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men with prostate cancer, and to identify future research priorities.

Methods: An analytical model was designed to select and interpret evidence for the effect of dietary interventions on ADT side effects. Key terms identified articles that investigated dietary interventions to mitigate ADT side effects among men treated for prostate cancer.

Effectiveness of Dietetic Consultations in Primary Health Care: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: A dietetic consultation is a structured process aimed at supporting individual patients to modify their dietary behaviors to improve health outcomes. The body of evidence on the effectiveness of nutrition care provided by dietitians in primary health care settings has not previously been synthesized. This information is important to inform the role of dietitians in primary health care service delivery.
