Objectives We aimed to systematically summarise and quantify the empirical evidence on targeted interventions and their effects on various HIV prevention outcomes for long-distance truck drivers (LDTDs) globally. Design A systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources We searched PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ProQuest Central, EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, World Health Organisation (Global Index Medicus), Cochrane Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCiELO), Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator…
Background Statins are effective in lowering lipids and reducing cardiovascular risk. In recent decades, rising paediatric lipid levels, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), have led to growing demand for lipid-lowering drugs. However, access remains limited in LMICs due to financial constraints. To address this, China launched its National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) policy in 2019, significantly improving the price and affordability of statins. This study evaluates the policy’s impact on statin use and expenditures in children. Methods The study used interrupted time…
Objective This study aimed to understand the experiences and feelings of patients undergoing lower limb vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Design Qualitative, phenomenological research methodology with purposive sampling. Semistructured interview data were analysed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method with the NVivo 12 Plus software. Setting A single-centre study in a Grade A hospital in Nanjing, China. Participants A total of 23 patients who underwent CABG with saphenous vein harvesting between October 2024 and March 2025. Results The participants’ experiences were…
Background Dysgraphia is a specific learning disorder characterised by difficulties in written expression. Identifying and finding remedies for children with this disorder is challenging due to the diverse interventions used in different contexts. Different interventions are used to rehabilitate children with this disorder. Objective This scoping review aims to map the existing interventions for dysgraphia across different contexts, that is, schools, rehabilitation centres, home-based services and clinics. Design Scoping review. Eligibility criteria This review included studies that used…
Introduction Of individuals with mild-to-moderate multiple sclerosis (MS), 56% report falling at least once during a 3-month period. Several fall risk factors have been identified, but the issue is complex, with interactions between triggering factors and preceding activities and events. There is a lack of studies explicitly evaluating fall prevention strategies given as counselling over time. Methods and analysis The project includes (1) a two-armed randomised controlled internal pilot study with a nested qualitative study on participants’ experiences and (2) a randomised controlled trial…
Objectives To explore differences in preferences for participation in trials with varying degrees of decentralisation among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to show how personal, disease specific, digital and trial experience factors influence these preferences as well as impact potential trial participation rates. Design A discrete choice experiment was conducted, including 16 choice tasks, with each two trial options and an opt-out. Setting Preference data was collected in the Netherlands between July 2023 and July 2024. Participants A total of 276 individuals with T2DM…
Background Unintentional weight loss is prevalent in advanced cancer and maintaining weight is critical to improve clinical outcomes. Body image plays a significant role in how weight loss is perceived. A previous Swedish study showed that men with advanced cancer had a negative perception of cancer-induced weight loss whereas women perceived the weight loss more positively. Objectives The aim of the GRACE study (Global Research on Appearance in Cancer) is to study gender differences in the perception of body image during cancer-induced weight loss. Second, we aim to explore cross-country…
Introduction Performance-based resource allocation (PBRA) programmes have been increasingly adopted by medical schools as a strategic mechanism to optimise funding distribution, align resources with institutional priorities—particularly the delivery of high-quality education—and improve educational outcomes. In an era of budgetary constraints and growing demands for transparency and accountability in higher education, PBRA programmes offer means to enhance efficiency, incentivise quality and strengthen educational performance. Despite their widespread implementation, significant knowledge gaps…
Background Diabetes is a major global public health challenge, with rapidly rising incidence, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Physical activity is a well-established protective factor against type 2 diabetes (T2DM); however, the population-level impact of realistic modest increases in physical activity remains unclear. Objectives To estimate the burden of T2DM attributable to physical inactivity in Brazil and project the impact of modest increases in physical activity. Research design and methods We calculated the population attributable fractions (PAFs) and economic costs of…
Objectives This study examines heterogeneity in women’s use of reproductive healthcare services before and after receiving an infertility diagnosis and its association with pregnancy identified without recorded loss within one year following the first infertility diagnosis. Reproductive healthcare use was operationalised as care-seeking history, utilisation intensity and subsequent engagement with assisted reproductive technology (ART) and financial support. Design Population-based retrospective cohort study. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Setting Korean National…
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived social support and domestic violence with maternal postpartum stress in an Iranian context.
