Is telephone preoperative assessment as effective as face‐to‐face preadmission clinic visits in terms of preparing the patient for elective surgery? 2. What are the perioperative experiences of adult patients who have received telephone based preoperative preparation prior to elective surgery? Objectives: This review will examine the best available evidence in regard to preoperative telephone patient assessment and preparation to determine the impact of this intervention on patient knowledge and expectations of their surgery and anaesthesia, compliance with preoperative and postoperative preparations, their levels of fear and anxiety, reduction in cancellations on day of surgery in comparison to face‐to‐face assessment. This review will also examine the patient experiences and satisfaction with this method of assessment. Thus both the evidence related to effectiveness and meaningfulness of telephone preoperative preparation on patient preparedness for elective surgery will be explored and synthesized. This will include a comparison of telephone assessment with face to face consultation in the preoperative preparation of the adult patient in day of surgery admission patients. Inclusion Criteria: Types of Participants: For both the quantitative and qualitative components this review will consider studies that include adult (> 18 years) patients having elective day or inpatient surgery in a hospital setting who have had a telephone preoperative consultation or face‐to‐face preadmission clinic visit. Emergency surgery is to be excluded. Phenomena of interest: The qualitative component of this review will focus on the experiences of patients who have utilised telephone based preoperative assessment. The quantitative component will focus on the comparison of effect of telephone‐based patient preparation for elective surgery with face‐to‐face preparation. Type of outcome: The quantitative component of the review will consider studies that include the following outcome measures related to the patient preparation for surgery including: • patient understanding and expectations of postoperative pain, nausea, anxiety, medication management and discharge planning • knowledge of procedure and anaesthetic, and informed consent • informed consent • anxiety • pain management • medication management • patient understanding and compliance with preoperative and postoperative activities","PeriodicalId":91723,"journal":{"name":"JBI library of systematic reviews","volume":"8 16 Suppl 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.11124/JBISRIR-2010-605","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63416408","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}

Tan","doi":"10.11124/JBISRIR-2010-116","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11124/JBISRIR-2010-116","url":null,"abstract":"Background Self‐monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) is purported to improve glycaemic control, measured by glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). The effectiveness of SMBG in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is well‐documented though no systematic review of the economic evidence surrounding the use of SMBG in T2DM has been performed. Objectives To perform a systematic review of economic evaluations of SMBG in T2DM patients. Inclusion criteria All adult patients suffering from T2DM were included. Outcomes of differing treatment groups, where specified, were also recorded. Studies which examined SMBG as an intervention to control blood glucose were considered. To be included, studies must have made a formal attempt to relate cost to outcome data in a cost‐effectiveness or cost utility analysis. Types of outcomes The main outcomes were in terms of cost‐effectiveness and cost‐utility. Search strategy Extensive electronic searches were conducted. Searching was carried out, for the time period 1990 to January 2009, for full text papers and conference abstracts. Methodological quality Methodological quality of included studies was assessed by two reviewers using the standard critical appraisal tools from the JBI‐Actuari (Joanna Briggs Institute‐Analysis of Cost, Technology and Utilisation Assessment and Review Instrument). Included modelling studies were also assessed using the review criteria of economic models set out by Phillips and colleagues. Data collection Data from included studies were extracted using the JBI‐Actuari extraction tool. Data synthesis Studies were grouped by outcome measure and summarised using tabular and narrative formats. Results Five studies met the review criteria. Three were model‐based analyses assessing long‐term cost‐effectiveness of SMBG, all of which concluded that SMBG was cost‐effective. Two further primary economic evaluations assessed short‐term cost‐effectiveness. Their results found SMBG to be associated with increased cost and no significant reduction in HbA1c. The studies examined subgroups in terms of their treatment protocols and SMBG was considered more likely to be cost‐effective in drug and insulin treated groups compared to diet and exercise groups. Conclusions Economic evidence surrounding SMBG in T2DM remains unclear. For the most part, included studies found SMBG to be cost‐effective though analyses are extremely sensitive to relative effects, time‐frame of analyses and model assumptions. Whilst large uncertainty exists, SMBG may be cost‐effective in certain subgroups e.g. drug and insulin‐treated patients. Implication for practice No strong evidence to recommend the regular use of SMBG in well‐controlled diabetes patients, treated only with diet and exercise programmes, exists. The evidence does offer support for SMBG in drug and insulin treated T2DM. It is recommended that clinicians select appropriate patients for SMBG, from these groups, based on their domain expertise.
