Effectiveness of work-related interventions for return to work in people on sick leave: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Background: Long-term sick leave is a serious concern in developed countries and the cost of sickness absence and
disability benefits cause major challenges for both the individual and society as a whole. Despite an increasing body
of research reported by existing systematic reviews, there is uncertainty regarding the effect on return to work of
workrelated interventions for workers with different diagnoses. The objective of this systematic review was to assess
and summarize available research about the effects of work-related interventions for people on long-term sick leave
and those at risk of long-term sick leave.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review in accordance with international guidelines. Campbell Collaboraâ
tion (Area: Social Welfare), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,
Embase, Epistemonikos, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Sociological Abstracts were systematically searched in
March 2021. Two authors independently screened the studies. We conducted risk of bias assessments and meta-analâ
yses of the available evidence in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The remaining comparisons were synthesized
narratively. The certainty of evidence for each outcome was assessed.
Results: We included 20 RCTs comprising 5753 participants at baseline from 4 different countries. The studies had
generally low risk of bias. Our certainty in the effect estimates ranged from very low to moderate. Eight different
interventions were identified. Meta-analysis revealed no statistically signifcant difference between multidisciplinary
rehabilitation (MR) and usual care (US) (Risk Ratio [RR] 1.01; Confidence Interval [CI] 95% 0.70-1.48 at 12 months folâ
low-up) and between MR and other active intervention (Risk Ratio [RR] 1.04; Confidence Interval [CI] 95% 0.86-1.25 at
12 months follow-up). Remaining intervention groups revealed marginal, or no effect compared to the control group.
The results for the secondary outcomes (self-efficacy, symptom reduction, function, cost-effectiveness) showed varied
and small effects in the intervention groups.
Conclusion: Overall, the present data showed no conclusive evidence of which work-related intervention is most
effective for return to work. However, a handful of potential interventions exist, that may contribute to a foundation
for future research. Our findings support the need for adequately powered and methodologically strong studies
Critical analysis of physical therapy groups promoting scientific research in Colombia. A cross sectional study
Objective. To analyze of physical therapy groups promoting scientific research in Colombia. Material and methods. Were individually analyzed all curricula vitae from researchers in the available field in the COLCIENCIAS database of CvLac-database. We also analyzed the statistical reports on scientific production available on the Scienti-website (http://www.colciencias.gov.co/scienti/). Scientific production and level of training was evaluated of 43 curricula during the months of April and May 2012 for the collection of information and this information was analyzed in June 2012. Results. We identified 768 usable records (Biomedical and Health Science). Of the articles included, 942 were original research reports. The number of publications in Colombia grew ten-fold between 1990 and 2010. Between 1990 and 2003, the growth rate was 9% per year, whereas from 2005 and 2008 the rate dropped to about 10% per year. The average number of included articles published per year was 45 with a range from 12 to 187. A nonlinear, bimodal distribution of articles published per year was observed (R2=0.85), with peak publications in 1992 and 2011. There was a significant difference in publication productivity over the 10 years across (P<0.001). Pair-wise comparisons revealed that groups with Master´s degree produced significantly more publications (median=19) than any other category, with the exception of Doctoral degree (median=13). Conclusion. This study provides ample direction for future inquiry regarding the status of curriculum and of scholars in physical therapy. However, this production is still lower than that of other Latin American countries having similar socioeconomic and demographic condition

Use of Liverpool Care Pathway at the end of life
Source at https://www.fhi.no/.Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) har blitt fremmet som en tiltaksplan for helhetlig omsorg til døende og deres pürørende i livets siste dager og timer.
Vi utførte en hurtigoversikt for ü vurdere effekten av LCP pü palliativ omsorg til personer i livets sluttfase. Vi inkluderte to nylig publiserte kontrollerte studier som sammenlignet effektene av LCP med standard palliativ omsorg
Effekt av brukermedvirkning i institusjoner for barn og unge. Systematisk litteratursøk med sortering
Seksjon for velferdstjenester ved Kunnskapssenteret fikk i september 2015 i oppdrag
av Barneâ, ungdomsâ og familiedirektoratet ĂĽ identifisere forskning om effekt av bruâ
kermedvirkning i institusjoner for barn og unge. Dette oppdraget skulle vĂŚre et systeâ
matisk litteratursøk med sortering. Vi har derfor gjort systematiske litteratursøk, lest
sammendrag i trĂĽd med definerte inklusjonskriterier og sortert inkluderte studier etter
type. Vi har ikke lest artiklene i sin helhet, vurdert studienes kvalitet eller sammenstilt
resultatene, slik vi ville gjort det i en systematisk oversikt
