Introduction: This overview aimed to find, assess, and synthesize systematic reviews that compared the cost-effectiveness of interventions designed to improve medication adherence among patients with chronic disease.
Areas Covered: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Center for Review and Dissemination were searched. The quality of the included reviews was assessed using two validated checklists. The review characteristics and findings were summarized narratively. A total of 9 systematic reviews were included. Interventions reported to be cost-effective were simplification of the medication regimen, financial incentives, improved coverage or reduced out-of-pocket spending, and pharmacist care. The most common interventions were patient education and counseling, with mixed results of cost-effectiveness. This evidence comes from economic evaluations with varying degrees of quality.
Expert Opinion: Future evaluations of adherence interventions' cost-effectiveness will be improved in quality as our understanding of the reasons behind intentional and unintentional nonadherence and factors associated with this behavior advances. The development of criteria for the value assessment of medication adherence-enhancing interventions will contribute to improving the quality of adherence intervention cost-effectiveness research.

Objectives: To assess the complication rates associated with split versus intact appendix Mitrofanoff procedures using a single-center retrospective analysis and a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Subjects And Methods: The study comprised a retrospective cohort analysis at a single institution, analyzing patients who underwent a laparoscopic-assisted Mitrofanoff with or without splitting the appendix from 2005 to 2016. The focus was on complications related to both Mitrofanoff and ACE channels.

Background: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been used in reconstructive microsurgery since the inception of the field. However, when compared to placebo groups, its efficacy is not confirmed. In our study, we hypothesize that the utility of ASA postoperatively in microvascular surgery is not associated with improved outcomes.

J Med Internet Res

University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom.
Background: Digital health interventions targeting behavior change are promising in adults and adolescents; however, less attention has been given to younger children. The proliferation of wearables, such as smartwatches and activity trackers, that support the collection of and reflection on personal health data highlights an opportunity to consider novel approaches to supporting health in young children (aged 5-11 y).
Objective: This review aims to investigate how smartwatches and activity trackers have been used across child health interventions (for children aged 5-11 y) for different health areas, specifically to identify the population characteristics of those being targeted, describe the characteristics of the devices being used, and report the feasibility and acceptability of these devices for health-related applications with children.
