Implementation of evidence-based medicine in dietetic practice: Current status and hurdles in Italy.

Health professionals, including dietitians, should adapt their clinical daily practice to evidence-based practice (EBP), but this does not happen often in daily practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the current status and barriers to evidence-based practice among dietitians. This was a mixed-method, cross-sectional, national study (questionnaire and focus group) performed on working and registered dietitians, both self-employed and employed by public hospitals.

Health-Related Quality of Life and Mental Health in Drug Hypersensitivity Reactions and Drug-Induced Anaphylaxis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that are particularly impactful on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and mental health. Although the role of HRQoL as an important patient-reported outcome has been recognized in past years, HRQoL and mental health in patients with ADRs are still poorly investigated.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence, severity, and risk factors of HRQoL and mental health in DHRs, with a particular focus on drug-induced anaphylaxis.
