Background And Aims: Accurate prediction of extubation success is crucial in critical care to avoid complications from premature or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Bedside diaphragmatic ultrasonography has emerged as a promising tool for assessing extubation readiness, but its effectiveness requires further validation. This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of this method and uses trial sequential analysis (TSA) to assess evidence reliability and identify the need for further research.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness and safety of NMES among surgical patients undergoing elective surgery.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, CINAHL, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Biomedical Database from their inception to February 1st, 2024.
Background: Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREM) have become a critical component in assessing healthcare quality from the patient's perspective. Accurate and reproducible assessment tools are essential for generating robust and reliable results for evaluating peri-anesthesia patient experiences, identifying associated factors, and assessing the impact of healthcare interventions. However, there is currently no systematic review that consolidates all existing peri-anesthesia PREMs and evaluates their psychometric properties.

Article Synopsis
- This study systematically reviews and critically evaluates the risk of bias in existing prediction models for acute kidney injury following liver transplantation.
- A comprehensive search identified 30 studies and 34 prediction models, with assessments revealing a high risk of bias primarily due to poor data sources and reporting issues.
- The findings underscore the need for improvement in predictive modeling to enhance the reliability of assessing post-transplant acute kidney injury risk in clinical practice.
Introduction: While the research on improving individual health literacy by promoting individual skills and abilities is increasing, less attention has been paid to the complexities of the healthcare environment that may influence patients' ability to access, understand, and apply health information and health services to make health decisions. This study aimed to develop and validate a Health Literacy Environment Scale (HLES) that is suitable for Chinese culture.
Methods: This study was conducted in two phases.
Objectives: This study aimed to establish a quality indicator system for postoperative pain management and test its reliability, validity, and discrimination in China.
Methods: We established a quality indicator system using the Delphi method. Further, we designed and administered a survey questionnaire in the orthopedic departments of nine hospitals, located in the Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces, through purposive and convenience sampling methods to examine the reliability, validity, and discrimination of the quality indicator system.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to summarize and provide an update on clinical studies investigating the effects of auricular point acupressure (APA) on pain relief, in addition to the APA methods of delivery and operation.
Design: A systematic review.
Data Sources: A systematic review on literatures published on five English (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO, and Cochrane databases) and four major Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data, Chinese Scientific Journals Database [VIP], and SinoMed) was conducted.
Background: Behavioral Indicators of Infant Pain scale (BIIP) has been shown to be a good tool to assess pain in infants.
Aims: This paper aimed to translate BIIP into Chinese and evaluate its reliability and validity for neonates in China.
Design: A prospective observational study.
