Objective: Systematic review to identify predictors for dropout during interdisciplinary pain management programmes.
Data Sources: PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, and SPORTDiscus were searched from inception to 22 June 2017.
Study Selection: Screening, data-extraction and quality assessment was carried out independently by 2 researchers.
Data Synthesis: Eight studies with low methodological quality were included in this review. Out of 63 potential predictors identified in univariate analyses, significant results were found for 18 predictors of dropout in multiple logistic regression analyses in 4 domains, as described by Meichenbaum & Turk: (i) sociodemographic domain (2); (ii) patient domain (8); (iii) disease domain (6); and (iv) treatment domain (2).
Conclusion: This systematic review presents an overview of predictors of dropout. The literature with regard to the prediction of dropout has focused mainly on patient characteristics and is still in the stage of model development. Future research should focus on therapist/therapy-related predictors and the interaction between these predictors. This review suggests future research on this topic, in order to generate better outcomes in interdisciplinary pain management programmes.

Background: Longitudinal digital health studies combine passively collected information from digital devices, such as commercial wearable devices, and actively contributed data, such as surveys, from participants. Although the use of smartphones and access to the internet supports the development of these studies, challenges exist in collecting representative data due to low adherence and retention. We aimed to identify key factors related to adherence and retention in digital health studies and develop a methodology to identify factors that are associated with and might affect study participant engagement.

Background: Digital mental health is a promising paradigm for individualized, patient-driven health care. For example, cognitive bias modification programs that target interpretation biases (cognitive bias modification for interpretation [CBM-I]) can provide practice thinking about ambiguous situations in less threatening ways on the web without requiring a therapist. However, digital mental health interventions, including CBM-I, are often plagued with lack of sustained engagement and high attrition rates.

One of the persistent problems faced by the university education system is the dropout rate. The main aim of this research was to identify the profile characteristics of those students who drop out of their studies, seeking in-depth knowledge of the reality behind the issue. The responses to a questionnaire of 149,837 students from three Spanish universities (La Laguna, Zaragoza and Huelva) who had dropped out of their undergraduate studies were analysed.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects over 6 million people and is the seventh-leading cause of death in the US. This study compares wrist-worn accelerometry-derived PA measures against traditional risk factors for incident AD in the UK Biobank.
Methods: Of 42,157 UK Biobank participants 65 years and older who had accelerometry data and no prior AD diagnosis, 157 developed AD by April 1, 2021 (264,988 person-years or on average 6.
Attrition and discontinuation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinical trials: a meta-analysis.

Objectives: Attrition due to adverse events and disease progression impacts the integrity and generalizability of clinical trials. The aim of this study is to provide evidence-based estimates of attrition for clinical trials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and identify study-related predictors, through a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: We systematically reviewed the literature to identify all randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials in ALS and determined the number of patients who discontinued the study per randomized arm.
