Catheter Ablation versus Medical Therapy of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Heart Failure: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Michele Magnocavallo, Antonio Parlavecchio, Giampolo Vetta, Carola Gianni, Marco Polselli, Francesco De Vuono, Luigi Pannone, Sanghamitra Mohanty, Filippo Maria Cauti, Rodolfo Caminiti, et al.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) often coexist and synergistically contribute to an increased risk of hospitalization, stroke, and mortality. Objective: To compare the efficacy of catheter ablation (CA) versus medical therapy (MT) in HF patients with AF. Methods: Electronic databases were queried for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CA versus MT of AF in patients with HF. Risk ratios (RRs), mean differences ...

Completeness of reporting in diet- and nutrition-related randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews with meta-analysis : protocol for 2 independent meta-research studies Universiteit Gent

Flávia Silva, Amanda Rodrigues Amorim Adegboye, Carl Lachat, Cintia Curioni, Fabio Gomes, Gary S Collins, Gilberto Kac, Jennifer Anne de Beyer, Jonathan Cook, Leila Cheikh Ismail, et al.
Background: Journal articles describing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews with meta-analysis of RCTs are not optimally reported and often miss crucial details. This poor reporting makes assessing these studies’ risk of bias or reproducing their results difficult. However, the reporting quality of diet- and nutrition-related RCTs and meta-analyses has not been explored. Objective: We aimed to assess the reporting ...

Person-Centered Integrated Care for Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Pim P Valentijn, Fernando Abdalla Pereira, Marinella Ruospo, Suetonia C Palmer, Joergen Hegbrant, Christina W Sterner, HJM Vrijhoef, Dirk Ruwaard, Giovanni F M Strippoli

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The effectiveness of person-centered integrated care strategies for CKD is uncertain. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials to assess the effect of person-centered integrated care for CKD.

DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (from inception to April of 2016), and ...

Recruitment and retention challenges and strategies in randomized controlled trials of psychosocial interventions for children with cancer and their parents : a collective case study Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Anne van Driessche, Kim Beernaert, Luc Deliens, Marijke C. Kars, Maureen E. Lyon, Maru Barrera, Veronica Dussel, Pernille Bidstrup, Abby R. Rosenberg, Terrah F. Akard, et al.
In pediatric oncology there are few examples of successful recruitment and retention strategies in psychosocial care research. This study aims to summarize experiences, challenges, and strategies for conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of psychosocial intervention studies among children with cancer and their parent(s). We conducted a collective case study. To identify the cases, Pubmed and two trial registries were searched for ...

The influence of bias in randomized controlled trials on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates: what we have learned from meta-epidemiological studies Universiteit Hasselt

Chiara Arienti, Susan Armijo-Olivo, Giorgio Ferriero, Peter FEYS, Thomas Hoogeboom, Carlotte Kiekens, Stefano G. Lazzarini, Silvia Minozzi, Stefano Negrini, Aydan Oral, et al.
This study aimed to synthesize evidence from studies that addressed the influence of bias domains in randomized controlled trials on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates and discuss how these findings can maximize the trustworthiness of an RCT in rehabilitation. We screened studies about the influence of bias on rehabilitation intervention effect estimates published until June 2023. The characteristics and results of the included studies ...

How to design and evaluate randomized controlled trials in immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis: an ARIA-GA2LEN statement Universiteit Gent

J Bousquet, HJ Schünemann, PJ Bousquet, Claus Bachert, GW Canonica, TB Casale, P Demoly, S Durham, K-H Carlsen, H-J Malling, et al.
P>Specific immunotherapy (SIT) is one of the treatments for allergic rhinitis. However, for allergists, nonspecialists, regulators, payers, and patients, there remain gaps in understanding the evaluation of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Although treating the same diseases, RCTs in SIT and pharmacotherapy should be considered separately for several reasons, as developed in this study. These include the severity and persistence of ...
