Article Synopsis
- Patients post-hip fracture often experience fragmented care and poor discharge planning, highlighting the need for improved patient flow and transition support from hospital to home.* -
- A qualitative study involving interviews with patients, carers, and health professionals revealed challenges such as ineffective communication and disjointed services during discharge, along with the complexity of recovery beyond just the physical injury.* -
- Solutions suggested include better reassurance, collaborative planning, and personalized care to help patients and their supporters navigate the transition more effectively, ultimately aiming for a more coordinated approach in discharge planning.*
Objectives: Visual abstracts (VAs) lack study-specific reporting guidelines and are increasingly used as stand-alone sources in medical research dissemination although not designed for this purpose. Therefore, our objectives were to describe 1) completeness of reporting in VAs and corresponding written abstracts (WAs) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and 2) the extent and type of spin (ie, any reporting pattern that could distort result interpretation and mislead readers) in VAs and WAs of RCTs with a statistically nonsignificant primary outcome.
Study Design And Setting: We conducted a cross-sectional study evaluating VAs and WAs of RCTs published between January 1, 2021, and March 3, 2023.
Background And Aims: There is a need to consolidate reporting guidance for nutrition randomised controlled trial (RCT) protocols. The reporting completeness in nutrition RCT protocols and study characteristics associated with adherence to SPIRIT and TIDieR reporting guidelines are unknown. We, therefore, assessed reporting completeness and its potential predictors in a random sample of published nutrition and diet-related RCT protocols.
