Importance:  Despite the potential of community-engaged implementation research (CEIR) in developing strategies to accelerate the translation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), there is a noticeable knowledge gap in the current state of CEIR in occupational therapy. A synthesis of the concept, purpose, and operationalization of CEIR is necessary.

Objective:  To identify the contexts, purposes, and operationalization of CEIR, focusing on implementation strategies in occupational therapy.

Aim: Increasing evidence suggests that the inclusion of self-identified race in clinical decision algorithms may perpetuate longstanding inequities. Until recently, most pulmonary function tests utilized separate reference equations that are race/ethnicity based.

Purpose: We assess the magnitude and scope of the available literature on the negative impact of race-based pulmonary function prediction equations on relevant outcomes in African Americans with COPD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how effective nonoperative treatments are for patients with nonarthritic hip pain, focusing on the response rates and the role of physical therapy among other treatments.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 26 studies involving 1,153 patients to determine the overall effectiveness, finding a 54% response rate to treatment.
  • While physical therapy showed some improvement in pain and symptoms, the specific impact of different therapy types or durations wasn’t clear, and other methods like injections showed very low to low certainty in effectiveness.

Clinical predictive models (CPM) serve to identify and categorize patients into risk categories to assist in treatment and intervention recommendations. Predictive accuracy and practicality of models varies depending on methods used for their development, and should be evaluated. The aim of this study was to summarize currently available CPM for invasive candidiasis, analyze their performance, and assess their suitability for use in clinical decision making.

Purpose: Categorization of the needs of AYA cancer survivors is primarily based on quantitative analyses of epidemiological and observational research. The present study classified the phenomenological experiences of AYA survivors based on their own language.

Methods: A systematic approach for selecting qualitative studies of unmet needs in AYA cancer survivors was used.

A 2012 update of the Beers criteria categorizes selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as potentially inappropriate medications in all older adults based on fall risk. The application of these recommendations, not only to frail nursing home residents, but to all older adults, may lead to changes in health policy or clinical practice with harmful consequences. A systematic review of studies on the association between SSRIs and falls in older adults was conducted to examine the evidence for causation.
