Person-centred care in osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis: a scoping review of people's needs outside of healthcare.

Background: Arthritis, regardless of cause, has significant physical, social and psychological impacts on patients. We aimed to identify the non-healthcare needs perceived by patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) and osteoarthritis (OA), and to determine if these differ.

Methods: We electronically searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL (1990-2020) systematically to identify non-healthcare-related needs of people with IA or OA.

Duration of dexamethasone administration for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is the most common non-haematological toxicity of chemotherapy.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing short course (1-2 days) with long course (3+ days) dexamethasone in preventing CINV was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement.

Results: 1535 articles were screened to identify the 11 studies included in the review.

Higher Mucosal Healing with Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors in Combination with Thiopurines Compared to Methotrexate in Crohn's Disease.

Background: The differential impact of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy with methotrexate versus thiopurine co-therapy on endoscopic remission remains uncertain.

Aims: To compare rates of endoscopic remission based on methotrexate or thiopurine co-therapy used with anti-TNF therapy in Crohn's disease.

Methods: A retrospective observational study at two tertiary centers between 2010 and 2016 compared endoscopic remission rates and persistence on anti-TNF therapy in combination with methotrexate versus thiopurines for at least 3 months.
