The impact of adverse childhood events on service support and educational outcomes of children who are autistic: A theory-guided analysis using structural equation modeling.

Autistic children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may have barriers to receiving special education or other developmental services-thus, impacting educational outcomes. Our objective was to model such a pathway using the 2016-2021 National Survey of Children's Health datasets. We extracted data for school outcomes, use of special education and autism-related specialty services and sociodemographic characteristics among autistic children within the data.

A scoping review of health inequities in alcohol use disorder.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) poses a significant health burden on individuals. The burden occurs more frequently in the medically underserved, as well as racial and sexual minority populations. Ameliorating health inequities is vital to improving patient-centered care.

Associations of social determinants of health and childhood obesity: a cross-sectional analysis of the 2021 National Survey of Children's Health.

Context: Childhood obesity is a growing health problem in the United States, with those affected having an increased likelihood of developing chronic diseases at a younger age. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are known to influence overall health. Families who are of low socioeconomic status (SES) have also been shown to be more likely to experience food insecurity.

Equity Reporting in Systematic Reviews of Opioid Treatment of Chronic Non-Cancer Pain with Patient-Reported Outcomes.

Chronic non-cancer pain can affect a patient's social life, ability to work, and overall quality of life (QoL). Opioid therapy is often prescribed as therapeutic treatment in chronic pain. Systematic reviews (SRs)-the pinnacle of research quality-are often used in guideline development; however, pain may differ across cultures and communities.

Health inequities in mammography: A scoping review.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to chart the existing evidence on health inequities related to mammography and identify existing knowledge gaps to guide future research.

Methods: This scoping review followed guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews. In July 2022, we searched PubMed and Ovid Embase for published articles on mammography screening, published between 2011 and 2021, written in English, and examining at least one health inequity as defined by the NIH.

Evaluating The Reporting of Patient-Reported Outcomes in Surgical Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women: An Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) significantly reduces women's quality of life (QoL). Use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is increasing in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), thus standardization is important to ensure reporting completeness. We aim to evaluate completeness of reporting of RCTs for surgical management of SUI in women based on an adaptation of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement with PRO extension (CONSORT-PRO).

The evaluation of reporting of patient-reported outcomes in MDD: A meta-epidemiological study of clinical trials.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a multifaceted disease that profoundly affects quality of life. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to better understand patient perspectives on interventions. Therefore, we sought to assess the completeness of reporting PROs in RCTs addressing MDD.

An Analysis of the Evidence Underpinning the American Academy Orthopaedic Surgery Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Background: Randomized control trials (RCTs) serve as evidentiary support for recommendations underpinning clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) with the goal of optimizing patient care. A knowledge gap exists within scientific literature when evaluating the quality of RCTs used as evidence in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (AAOS) pediatric CPGs. We aim to evaluate the reporting quality and risk of bias in RCTs underlying AAOS Pediatric CPG recommendations.
