Characteristics and impact of interventions to support healthcare providers’ compliance with guideline recommendations for breast cancer: a systematic literature review

BackgroundBreast cancer clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) offer evidence-based recommendations to improve quality of healthcare for patients. Suboptimal compliance with breast cancer guideline recommendations remains frequent, and has been associated with a decreased survival. The aim of this systematic review was to characterize and determine the impact of available interventions to support healthcare providers' compliance with CPGs recommendations in breast cancer healthcare.MethodsWe searched for systematic reviews and primary studies in PubMed and Embase (from inception to May 2021). We included experimental and observational studies reporting on the use of interventions to support compliance with breast cancer CPGs. Eligibility assessment, data extraction and critical appraisal was conducted by one reviewer, and cross-checked by a second reviewer. Using the same approach, we synthesized the characteristics and the effects of the interventions by type of intervention (according to the EPOC taxonomy), and applied the GRADE framework to assess the certainty of evidence.ResultsWe identified 35 primary studies reporting on 24 different interventions. Most frequently described interventions consisted in computerized decision support systems (12 studies); educational interventions (seven), audit and feedback (two), and multifaceted interventions (nine). There is low quality evidence that educational interventions targeted to healthcare professionals may improve compliance with recommendations concerning breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment. There is moderate quality evidence that reminder systems for healthcare professionals improve compliance with recommendations concerning breast cancer screening. There is low quality evidence that multifaceted interventions may improve compliance with recommendations concerning breast cancer screening. The effectiveness of the remaining types of interventions identified have not been evaluated with appropriate study designs for such purpose. There is very limited data on the costs of implementing these interventions.ConclusionsDifferent types of interventions to support compliance with breast cancer CPGs recommendations are available, and most of them show positive effects. More robust trials are needed to strengthen the available evidence base concerning their efficacy. Gathering data on the costs of implementing the proposed interventions is needed to inform decisions about their widespread implementation

Leaching manganese nodules in an acid medium and room temperature comparing the use of different Fe reducing agent

The deposits of Fe-Mn, in the seabed of the planet, are a good alternative source for the extraction of elements of interest. Among these are marine nodules, which have approximately 24% manganese and may be a solution to the shortage of high-grade ores on the surface. In this investigation, an ANOVA analysis was performed to evaluate the time independent variables and MnO2/reducing agent in the leaching of manganese nodules with the use of different Fe reducing agents (FeS2, Fe2+, Fe-0 and Fe2O3). Tests were also carried out for the different reducing agents evaluating the MnO2/Fe ratio, in which the Fe-0 (FeC) proved to be the best reducing agent for the dissolution of Mn from marine nodules, achieving solutions of 97% in 20 min. In addition, it was discovered that at low MnO2/Fe ratios the acid concentration in the system is not very relevant and the potential and pH were in ranges of -0.4-1.4 V and -2-0.1 favoring the dissolution of Mn from MnO2.The authors are grateful for the contribution of the Scientific Equipment Unit- MAINI of the Universidad Católica del Norte for aiding in generating data by automated electronic microscopy QEMSCAN®and for facilitating the chemical analysis of the solutions. We are also grateful to the Altonorte Mining Company for supporting this research and providing slag for this study, and we thank to Marina Vargas Aleuy of the Universidad Católica del Norte for supporting the experimental tests.

How Do Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Value the Importance of Outcomes? An Overview of Reviews

Objectives: We aimed to assess how patients value the importance of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) related outcomes. Methods: Overview of systematic reviews (SRs) reporting patients’ utilities or disutilities for T2DM outcomes. We searched 3 databases from inception until June 2021. Study selection and data extraction were conducted in pairs. We evaluated the quality of SRs with the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist, and the overlap with the corrected covered area. We estimated descriptive statistics, and, when possible, conducted metanalysis. Results: We identified 11 SRs, including 119 studies and 70 outcomes. Most reviews were high-quality SRs. The outcomes with the lowest utilities were hypoglycemia with very severe symptoms (acute complications), stroke (macrovascular complications), diabetic peripheral neuropathy with severe pain (microvascular complications), extreme obesity (comorbidities), and insulin only or combined (management of diabetes). Good/excellent glucose control and noninsulin injectable showed higher values than T2DM without complications. The outcomes with the highest disutilities were amputation, depression, major hypoglycemia, stroke, and management using only insulin. Conclusions: We provide standardized, reliable utility values (or associated disutilities) for T2DM, acute, microvascular and macrovascular complications, related comorbidities and treatments that may support judgments when making clinical recommendations, designing decision support tools, and developing interventions and economic analysis.</p

Adherence to breast cancer guidelines is associated with better survival outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies in EU countries

Background: Breast cancer clinical guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations to improve the quality of health care for patients with or at risk of suffering breast cancer. Suboptimal adherence to breast cancer guideline recommendations has the potential to negatively affect population health. However, no study has systematically reviewed the impact of breast cancer guideline adherence -as a prognosis factor- on healthcare processes and health outcomes related to breast cancer. The objective of this systematic review is twofold: i) to analyse the impact of adherence to guidelines on health outcomes, and ii) to examine the extent to which adherence to guidelines impacts on health care costs. Methods: We searched for systematic reviews and primary studies in MEDLINE and Embase up to May 2019. Eligibility assessment, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were conducted by one author and crosschecked by a second author. We used random-effects meta-analyses to examine the impact of adherence to guidelines on overall survival and disease-free survival, and assessed the certainty of evidence with the GRADE approach. Results: We included 21 primary studies. Most were published during the last decade (90%), followed a retrospective cohort design (86%), focused on adherence to treatment guidelines (95%), and were at low (80%) or moderate (20%) risk of bias. Nineteen studies (95%) examined the impact of guideline adherence on health outcomes, while two studies (10%) on healthcare cost. Adherence to guidelines was associated with increased overall survival (HR=0.66 (95% CI 0.58 to 0.75) and disease-free survival (HR=0.35 (95% CI from 0.15 to 0.82), representing 132 fewer deaths (168 fewer to 94 fewer) and 222 fewer recurrences (305 fewer to 55 fewer) per 1,000 patients at 5 years of follow-up (moderate certainty). Adherence to treatment guidelines was associated with higher costs, but adherence to follow-up guidelines was associated with lower costs (low certainty). Conclusions: There is moderate certainty that adherence to breast cancer guidelines is associated with an improved survival. Breast cancer guidelines should be rigorously implemented in the clinical setting.JRC.F.1-Health in Societ

Healthcare providers’ adherence to breast cancer guidelines in Europe: a systematic literature review

Background: Clinical guidelines’ (CGs) adherence supports high quality care. However, healthcare providers do not always comply with CGs recommendations. This systematic literature review aims to assess the extent of healthcare providers’ adherence to breast cancer CGs in Europe, and to identify the factors that impact on healthcare providers’ adherence. Methods: We searched for systematic reviews, and quantitative or qualitative primary studies in MEDLINE and Embase up to May 2019. Eligibility assessment, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were conducted by one author and crosschecked by a second author. We conducted a narrative synthesis attending to the modality of healthcare process, methods to measure adherence, scope of the CGs, and population characteristics. Results: Out of 8137 references, we included 55 primary studies conducted in eight European countries. Most followed a retrospective cohort design (31/55; 56%) and were at low or moderate risk of bias. Adherence for overall breast cancer care process (from diagnosis to follow-up) ranged from 59% to 67%, for overall treatment process (including surgery, chemotherapy (CT), endocrine therapy (ET), and radiotherapy (RT)) the median adherence was 55% (IQR 49-52%), while for systemic therapy (CT and ET) it was 68% (IQR 69-76%). The median adherence rates for individual process were higher, with a range between 74% (IQR 10-80%) for follow-up to 88% (IQR 84-92%) for RT. Internal factors that potentially impact on healthcare providers’ adherence were their perceptions, preferences, lack of knowledge, or intentional decisions. Conclusions: A substantial proportion of breast cancer patients are not receiving CGs recommended care. Healthcare providers’ adherence to breast cancer CGs in Europe has room for improvement in almost all care processes. CGs development and implementation processes should address the main factors that influence healthcare providers' adherence, especially the patient-related ones.JRC.F.1-Health in Societ
