Background: The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) was authorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 to fund comparative clinical effectiveness research to provide reliable evidence to help patients and their healthcare providers make informed decisions.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe the synergy between nursing research and PCORI funding priorities, discuss unique aspects of PCORI funding, and identify the implications for nurse researchers.
Discussion: Goals of nursing research are well aligned with PCORI interests. Given this synergy, many phenomena that nursing scientists study could become topics of a competitive proposal for PCORI funding. Major aspects of PCORI funding with implications for nurse researchers include the nature of the questions asked, funding priorities, engagement of patients and stakeholders, compliance with the PCORI's methodology standards, and the proposal review criteria and process.

Self-reported longitudinal COVID-19 vaccination reactogenicity profiles in persons with multiple sclerosis.

Background: Preventing severe COVID-19 associated outcomes continues to be a priority for persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). We previously reported in an interim analysis that short-term reactions to the first and second SARS-CoV-2 vaccines experienced by PwMS were mostly self-limiting and similar to reactions experienced by the general population.
Objectives: First, to report short-term reactogenicity experienced by PwMS in relation to the first through fourth SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
The observation of seasonal variation of fatigue in multiple sclerosis depends on the measurement instrument.

Department of Neurology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how seasonal temperature changes affect fatigue levels in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, a common symptom of the disease.
- Fatigue was assessed using two different measurement tools: the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and the Neuro-QoL fatigue score, with the results showing that MFIS scores were influenced by season and location, while Neuro-QoL scores were not.
- The findings suggest that the effect of temperature on MS-related fatigue varies based on the specific measurement tool used.
Interventions to improve quality of life and knowledge in Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, a survey of clinician practices and perspectives.
CHEST Pulm
December 2024
Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, United States.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the current practices and attitudes of interstitial lung disease (ILD) clinicians towards improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for patients with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP).
- Nearly all respondents (100%) believe that interventions to enhance HRQOL are essential, but only 5% currently use validated HRQOL assessment tools.
- Most clinicians reported limited knowledge of behavioral interventions, such as peer coaching and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), yet a significant majority expressed a desire to educate patients about these methods and reinforce them post-treatment.
Comparison of Physical Frailty Assessments in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
JACC Adv
December 2024
Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York, USA.
Background: Frailty is a known determinant of poor clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, prevalence estimates and effect sizes vary in part due to multiple tools available to measure frailty.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the prevalence and prognostic value of six commonly used frailty assessments in adults with HFpEF.
Shared Decision-Making in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Understanding Surgeon and Patient Perspectives Regarding When It Is Time for Surgery.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
December 2024
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Hanover, New Hampshire.
Background: Although total hip and total knee arthroplasty are highly successful operations, the decision of whether and when to undergo surgery is highly subjective and discretionary, and specific guidelines regarding readiness for surgery remain elusive. The nature of these decisions underscores the importance of shared decision-making, which is founded on the concept that patients substantially contribute to determining their own readiness for surgery. The OPTION survey was developed as a conversation aid to facilitate shared decision-making in the context of total joint arthroplasty.
