Article Synopsis
- - Obesity is linked to male infertility, but bariatric surgery doesn't enhance semen quality; however, studies suggest that low-energy diets (LED) might help improve semen quality, but more controlled research is needed.
- - In a study, men with obesity were split into two groups: one followed a strict 800 kcal/day LED for 16 weeks, while the other had a brief dietary intervention (BDI). The LED group lost significantly more weight than the BDI group.
- - Both the LED and BDI improved sperm motility in men, but there were no significant differences in improvements between the two diets, indicating that either approach may benefit sperm motility in obese men.
Objective: To systematically identify all patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) (quality of life [QOL] instruments or other instrument/methodology) that have been used to date in aortic dissection (AD) and to explore how well these instruments evaluate QOL according to the Consensus based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) methodology or guideline.
Data Sources: Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library were search on 1st July 2022.
Review Methods: This scoping review was undertaken according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and the COSMIN guidelines for performing systematic reviews of validated PROMs.
