ESCAPE-Allergy: Evaluating screening for children and adolescents with penicillin allergy.

Aim: Penicillin allergy labels are frequently encountered in children and are associated with significant harms. Most children are falsely labelled and can safely tolerate a penicillin but delabelling strategies are underutilised and paediatric-specific resources are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate an allergy assessment tool for children in hospital.

Identifying alternative models of healthcare service delivery to inform health system improvement: scoping review of systematic reviews.

Objective: To describe available evidence from systematic reviews of alternative healthcare delivery arrangements relevant to high-income countries to inform decisions about healthcare system improvement.

Design: Scoping review of systematic reviews.

Data Sources: Systematic reviews of interventions indexed in Pretty Darn Quick-Evidence.

Alternative service models for delivery of healthcare services in high-income countries: a scoping review of systematic reviews.

Introduction: Costs associated with the delivery of healthcare services are growing at an unsustainable rate. There is a need for health systems and healthcare providers to consider the economic impacts of the service models they deliver and to determine if alternative models may lead to improved efficiencies without compromising quality of care. The aim of this protocol is to describe a scoping review of the extent, range and nature of available synthesised research on alternative delivery arrangements for health systems relevant to high-income countries published in the last 5 years.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.

Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty remains widely used to treat osteoporotic vertebral fractures although our 2015 Cochrane review did not support its role in routine practice.
