Does missing data matter in the revised Patients' Attitudes Towards Deprescribing questionnaire? A systematic review and two case analyses.

Background: The revised Patients' Attitudes Towards Deprescribing (rPATD) questionnaire was developed to capture beliefs and perceptions of patients about deprescribing. In general, handling of missing data is underreported in survey studies. Underlying mechanisms related to missing data may impact the findings from survey studies.

Development and validation of search filters to retrieve medication discontinuation articles in Medline and Embase.

Background: Medication discontinuation studies explore the outcomes of stopping a medication compared to continuing it. Comprehensively identifying medication discontinuation articles in bibliographic databases remains challenging due to variability in terminology.

Objectives: To develop and validate search filters to retrieve medication discontinuation articles in Medline and Embase.

Development and validation of search filters to identify articles on deprescribing in Medline and Embase.

Background: Deprescribing literature has been increasing rapidly. Our aim was to develop and validate search filters to identify articles on deprescribing in Medline via PubMed and in Embase via Embase.com .

Effectiveness of a multi-faceted intervention to deprescribe proton pump inhibitors in primary care: protocol for a population-based, pragmatic, cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Inappropriately using proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is associated with severe adverse drug reactions and may have major consequences on healthcare costs. Deprescribing (the process by which a healthcare professional supervises the withdrawal of an inappropriate medication, to manage polypharmacy and improve outcomes) should be considered when an inappropriate PPI prescription is identified. Deprescribing interventions directed solely to prescribers have limited efficacy and are rarely targeted to patients.

Patient-safety incidents during COVID-19 health crisis in France: An exploratory sequential multi-method study in primary care.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the rapid reorganisation of health and social care services. Patients are already at significant risk of healthcare-associated harm and the wholesale disruption to service delivery during the pandemic stood to heighten those risks.

Objectives: We explored the type and nature of patient safety incidents in French primary care settings during the COVID-19 first wave to make tentative recommendations for improvement.

[Patterns of antidepressant dispensing among children and adolescents between 2015 and 2017 in the French region of Midi-Pyrenees].

Background: In France, consumption of antidepressant drugs by children and teenagers has been on the rise, even though recommendations for use are limited due to their association with serious adverse reactions. The objective of this study was to describe the patterns of antidepressant drug dispensing among children and adolescents in the French region of Midi-Pyrenees.

Method: The data regarding the Midi-Pyrenees region were extracted from the French Health Insurance Database (SNDS) using their ATC codes.

Suitability of patient education materials on proton-pump inhibitors deprescribing: a focused review.

Purpose: Engaging patients in the process of deprescribing is a necessity. Several patient education materials have been developed for this purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of the existing patient education materials for proton-pump inhibitors deprescribing.

[Management of child and adolescent depression in primary care: A systematic meta-review].

Objective: To develop a practical guide for the management of child and adolescent depression for general practitioners (GPs), suited to their practice frame, that can be implemented on a website aimed to help GPs to manage the main mental disorders encountered in primary care.

Method: A systematic meta-review was performed as recommended by the PRISMA statement. Each step, articles' selection, inclusion, methodological assessment and data extraction for the narrative synthesis was independently performed by two researchers.
