Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is the cornerstone of pharmacovigilance. However, major underreporting exists. The main objective of this study was to assess the use of a pharmacovigilance simplified reporting tool (PSRT) by general practitioners (GPs) and, secondarily, to describe the quality of ADR reports during this period. The PSRT was proposed on June 1st, 2015, for the 1290 GPs in the Western Normandy Region. The number and quality of ADRs reported monthly by GPs were prospectively collected from June 1st, 2015, to May 31st, 2020 (Period 2), and compared to those reported during a control period (June 1st, 2010, to May 31st, 2015, Period 1). During all the periods, 920 reports were made by 307 GPs (198 reports in Period 1 and 722 reports in Period 2), with 477 reports (51.8%) using the PSRT. During Period 2, the monthly number of reports was multiplied by 3.5 (p < 0.0001), and the number of GPs was 1.4 compared to that in Period 1 (p = 0.01). Our PSRT showed effectiveness in quantitative and qualitative terms. It must now go further and be integrated into GP software to facilitate ADR reporting nationwide.

Use of mHealth Technology for Improving Exercise Adherence in Patients With Heart Failure: Systematic Review.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
College of Nursing, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, United States.
Background: The known and established benefits of exercise in patients with heart failure (HF) are often hampered by low exercise adherence. Mobile health (mHealth) technology provides opportunities to overcome barriers to exercise adherence in this population.
Objective: This systematic review builds on prior research to (1) describe study characteristics of mHealth interventions for exercise adherence in HF including details of sample demographics, sample sizes, exercise programs, and theoretical frameworks; (2) summarize types of mHealth technology used to improve exercise adherence in patients with HF; (3) highlight how the term "adherence" was defined and how it was measured across mHealth studies and adherence achieved; and (4) highlight the effect of age, sex, race, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, and HF etiology (systolic vs diastolic) on exercise adherence.
Using natural spline models to explore the trajectories of empirically derived domains of premenstrual symptoms.
Psychol Assess
January 2025
University of Miami, Department of Psychology.
Premenstrual symptoms are distressing and impairing for individuals and costly to society. These symptoms are heterogeneous within and across people, dimensional, and dynamic. While some efforts have been made to understand the trajectories of premenstrual symptoms, two major gaps in the literature remain.

Psychol Addict Behav
January 2025
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Objective: Although research supports an association between increased alternative reinforcement and decreased substance use, the impact of substance use on changes in reinforcement during posttreatment recovery remains untested. This study tested the effect of abstinence duration and substance use frequency on the trajectories of four reinforcement mechanisms, behavioral activation, reward probability, reward barriers, and valued living, from pre- to 12-month posttreatment.
Method: Adults in intensive outpatient substance use disorder treatment ( = 206) completed self-report measures of the four reinforcement constructs and substance use over six timepoints from pre- to 12-month posttreatment.
Changes in Patient Care Experience After Private Equity Acquisition of US Hospitals.
JAMA
January 2025
Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Private equity acquisitions of health care facilities have rapidly increased over the past decade. However, little is known about the effects of private equity acquisitions of US hospitals on patient care experience.
Objective: To evaluate whether the acquisition of hospitals by private equity firms was associated with changes in measures of patient-reported experience compared with matched control hospitals from 2008 through 2019.
