Comparatively less attention is focused on understanding how or why interventions succeed, or fail to attain, those outcomes. This may be particularly important in trials of complex interventions such as surgery or physiotherapy, which are multifaceted and often tailored to individual participants, providers, or settings, increasing the potential for variations in intervention delivery and effects. The correspondence between the intervention that was planned and what was actually delivered in a trial is the intervention’s fidelity. Several benefits for high levels of intervention fidelity have been proposed. However, a lack of a uniform definition for fidelity and its key components may hinder intervention delivery in clinical trials and the translation of evidence-based interventions to clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":501023,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Primary Care Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142197524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In line with clinical guidance, primary care practitioners are encouraged to support patients to manage and optimise their health prior to pregnancy. Due to barriers, including lack of time and resources, this support is not currently part of routine practice. Aim: As a first step towards the co-development of practical and realistic best practice guidance, this study aims to achieve consensus on a list of priority risk factors that can be used in general practice to guide opportunistic preconception care for patients of reproductive age.\u0000Methods: This study protocol was developed with a Public Advisory Group of people of reproductive age, researchers and primary care practitioners. The consensus study will consist of three steps: 1) identifying an initial long-list of candidate risk factors and defining principles for scoring the importance of each risk factor, through a literature review, workshops with people of reproductive age, and interviews with primary care practitioners; 2) stakeholder participant prioritisation of each candidate risk factor for its importance for preconception care through a three-round eDelphi survey; and 3) agreeing on the final priority list through consensus meetings with a selected group of stakeholders. Participants living in the UK will be recruited across two stakeholder groups: people of reproductive age (through the Public Advisory Group and charities) and primary care professionals (through professional organisations).\u0000Ethical approval: This study has been approved by the University of Southampton Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee (ERGO 83699 and 92950).\u0000Dissemination: All study findings will be shared through stakeholder participants, peer-reviewed publication, lay summary, meetings and conference presentations, and relevant professional and community organisations.

It is thus necessary to develop effective and cost-effective interventions to support safe, effective and cost-effective prescribing. Advancements in technology, including machine learning coupled with the vast amounts of routine prescribing data available in primary care have supported the development of novel approaches to provide prescribers with ongoing and comparative prescribing data feedback. This systematic review aimed to explore the characteristics of interactive dashboard interventions in primary care that provide visual and longitudinal feedback on prescription data and to explore the effect of these interventions on prescribing-related outcome measures. Methods and Findings\u0000This systematic review was registered prospectively and reported in line with PRISMA guidelines. Multiple databases and grey literature were searched in November 2023 to identify interventional studies, including quasi-experimental designs that explored the effect of interactive dashboards on prescribing-related outcomes in primary care. Identified records were assessed for inclusion and data extraction and risk of bias assessment were completed by two independent researchers. Interventions characteristics and effects were described narratively. A meta‐analysis using a random‐effects model was performed where at least two studies were comparable in terms of participants, study design and outcomes. Twelve studies, reported across eleven different papers were included, eight randomised controlled trials, one controlled before and after study and three interrupted time series analyses. Nine papers were assessed to be of low risk of bias. Six studies reported a significant effect on prescribing-related outcomes, with an effect seen more often for studies focusing on potentially inappropriate or high-risk prescribing (four out of six studies). Two of the six studies that focused on antibiotic prescribing demonstrated a significant effect. A meta-analysis of three RCTs involving 406 general practices and 337,963 patients demonstrated the overall odds of having at least one potentially inappropriate prescription was 0.87 (95% CI 0.81 to 0.93 I2 =0.0%) in the intervention compared to control group.\u0000Conclusion\u0000Interactive dashboards have the potential to support safe and effective prescribing in primary care. To support their implementation, it is essential to establish the necessary data infrastructure within primary cares systems. This encompasses electronic health records (EHR) systems, data integration tools, analytics platforms, and compliance with data privacy regulations, all working together to facilitate the efficient use of data for improving prescribing and ultimately patient care.","PeriodicalId":501023,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Primary Care Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142197528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A longitudinal design was used to explore associations between childrens FNPA scores and overweight status change (when ages 3-9 years) on hypertension during latter childhood and adolescence (ages 9-18 years). Data were obtained from well-child visits. Participants were classified into 3 by 3 subgroups by FNPA score (low, moderate, high) and overweight status (loss, stable, gain). Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios of hypertension development with the moderate FNPA score X overweight stable reference group. Results: Among 3808 participants, 58% were publicly insured. Among participants who gained overweight during childhood, 41.7% developed hypertension compared to 29.9% who were overweight stable and 27.3% who lost overweight (P &lt;0.001). After accounting for confounders, participants who gained vs. maintained overweight had 2.01 (95% CI 1.65-2.44) times higher hypertension risk. Although FNPA scores were not associated with hypertension incidence, the interaction term between a high FNPA and overweight gain was significant (P = 0.01). Among children who gained, hazard ratios for hypertension among low, moderate, and high FNPA groups were estimated at 1.99 (95% CI 0.98-4.05), 2.01 (95% CI 1.64-2.44), 1.54 (95% CI 0.71-3.34), respectively.

Data linkage can mitigate these uncertainties; however, researchers may avoid linkage due to high costs, tight timelines, and sample size limitations. Hence, this study aimed to assess the quality of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnoses in primary care. We utilised Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care data linked to National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) in England. We compared accuracy, completeness, and timing of diagnosis recording between sources to facilitate decision-making regarding data source selection for future research. Methods: Incident PCa diagnoses (2000-2016) for males aged ≥46 years recorded in at least one study data source were examined. The accuracy of a data source was estimated by the proportion of diagnoses recorded in the specific source that was also confirmed by any linked source. Completeness was estimated by identifying the proportion of all diagnoses in linked sources with a matching diagnosis in the specific source. Results: The study included 51,487 PCa patients from either source. CPRD demonstrated 86.9% accuracy and 68.2% completeness against NCRAS and 75.1% accuracy and 61.1% completeness against HES. Overall, CPRD showed the highest accuracy (93%) but the lowest completeness (60.7%). Diagnosis dates in CPRD were more concordant with NCRAS (90.6% within 6 months) than with HES (61.2%). Over time, accuracy and completeness improved, especially after 2004. Discrepancies in diagnosis dates revealed a median delay of 2 weeks in CPRD than NCRAS and 1 week than HES. CPRD Aurum exhibited better quality compared to GOLD. Conclusions: While the accuracy of PCa diagnoses in CPRD compared to linked sources was high, completeness was low. Therefore, linking to HES or NCRAS should be considered for improved case capture, acknowledging their inherent limitations.","PeriodicalId":501023,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Primary Care Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142197529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treatment services might likewise shift towards primary care. Studying characteristics of DD patients who seek medical care for the first time, may identify a symptomatic target group for early DD treatments. We present the first study that estimates the incidence and prevalence of DD in primary care by applying a text-mining algorithm to registration data. Methods\u0000This is a population-based cohort study using electronic health records from Dutch general practices involved in a regional research network. Descriptive statistics were used to describe sex, age, comorbidities and lifestyle factors, the latter two were identified via International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) codes. Incidence rate was calculated as number of patients with a first contact for DD/1000 person years for the years 2017 to 2021, point prevalence as the percentage of patients with a contact for DD in 2021. DD contacts were identified using a text-mining algorithm. Results\u0000The incidence ranged between 1.41 to 1.72/1000 person years and the overall prevalence was 1.99%. Incidence and prevalence are higher among males and increase with age, peaking between 61 to 80 years. Conclusions\u0000Our results of prevalence and incidence of DD in primary care give an insight into the relevant population of patients with symptomatic DD that might be the future target group for potential disease controlling treatments.","PeriodicalId":501023,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Primary Care Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141587640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
