Existing gaps and missed opportunities in delivering quality nutrition services in primary healthcare: a descriptive analysis of patient experience and provider competence in 11 low-income and middle-income countries.

Objectives: To assess the competence of primary healthcare (PHC) providers in delivering maternal and child nutrition services at the PHC level and patients' experience in receiving the recommended components of care.

Design: Observational cross-sectional analysis.

Setting: Healthcare facilities in low/middle-income countries (LMICs) with available service provision assessment surveys (Afghanistan (2018), Democratic Republic of Congo (2018), Haiti (2017), Kenya (2010), Malawi (2013-2014), Namibia (2009), Nepal (2015), Rwanda (2007), Senegal (2018), Tanzania (2015) and Uganda (2007).

Design, methods, and reporting of impact studies of cardiovascular clinical prediction rules are suboptimal: a systematic review.

Objectives: To evaluate design, methods, and reporting of impact studies of cardiovascular clinical prediction rules (CPRs).

Study Design And Setting: We conducted a systematic review. Impact studies of cardiovascular CPRs were identified by forward citation and electronic database searches.

Factors influencing the implementation of cardiovascular risk scoring in primary care: a mixed-method systematic review.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as ischemic heart disease and stroke is the leading causes of death and disability globally with a growing burden in low and middle-income countries. A credible way of managing the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is by reducing risk factors. This understanding has led to the development and recommendation for the clinical use of cardiovascular risk stratification tools.

Factors associated with the prescribing of high-dose opioids in primary care: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The risks of harms from opioids increase substantially at high doses, and high-dose prescribing has increased in primary care. However, little is known about what leads to high-dose prescribing, and studies exploring this have not been synthesized. We, therefore, systematically synthesized factors associated with the prescribing of high-dose opioids in primary care.
