Objective: The objective of this review is to identify differences in quadriceps architectural parameters between healthy individuals and those with patellofemoral pain (PFP).

Introduction: Patellofemoral pain is one of the most common causes of knee pain among physically active populations. Muscular imbalance may play an important role in patellar malalignment or patellar maltracking. A systematic review will clarify the possible architectural changes of quadriceps muscles in persons with PFP.

Inclusion criteria: Eligible observational studies will include individuals younger than 50 years who have been diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral PFP. The comparator will be the contralateral, asymptomatic limb of the individual with PFP or a healthy matched subject. Studies that include measurement of quadriceps muscle size as the primary outcome will be considered. Studies in which participants had coexisting pathology, a history of lower limb surgery or injury, or pain originating from other joints will be excluded.

Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE (NLM), Scopus, Embase, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Web of Science and CINAHL databases and multiple gray literature sources will be searched. Studies published since 1 January 1990 will be considered; there will be no language restriction. Retrieval of full-text studies, assessment of methodological quality and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. If possible, meta-analyses will be performed, and a Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Summary of Findings presented.

Objective: The objective of this review is to determine the effectiveness of non-opioid pharmacological adjuncts for decreasing perioperative morphine equivalents and acute postoperative pain scores in adult surgical patients.

Introduction: Opioids are commonly administered during anesthesia to dull the senses, relieve pain and induce sleep. However, there are significant adverse effects associated with intraoperative opioid use. Anesthesia providers can impact the current opioid epidemic by administering non-opioid-centric anesthetic medications. A large-scale evidence-based review is needed to inform a standardized non-opioid pain treatment strategy in the perioperative period.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies of adults 19 years or older who are undergoing surgical procedures and receiving non-opioid oral or intravenous perioperative analgesic medications administered by the anesthesia team. Studies that include patients who receive non-opioid medication as a local infiltrate by the surgical team will be excluded, as will studies with patients who receive regional or neuraxial opioid-sparing techniques. Only systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in English after 2007 will be considered.

Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL and Embase will be searched, as well as two trial registers and two sources of unpublished reviews. Titles and abstracts will be screened to identify potentially relevant papers. Retrieval of full-text studies, assessment of methodological quality and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. Meta-analyses will be performed if possible, and a Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Summary of Findings presented.

Objective: The objective of this review is to summarize the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of hypodermoclysis (HDC) for the rehydration of children with mild or moderate dehydration.

Introduction: Children are particularly susceptible to dehydration, which can lead to severe gastrointestinal disturbances. Hypodermoclysis, the infusion of fluids and electrolytes via subcutaneous tissue, is an alternative route of administering fluid replacement when oral or intravenous routes are contraindicated. Although HDC is primarily used in elderly patients, there are no restrictions on its use in children. A review is needed to synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness of HDC for treating dehydration in children.

Inclusion criteria: Eligible studies will include infants and children up to 10 years of age with mild or moderate dehydration based on the Gorelick scale. Studies that compare fluid infusion with HDC to intravenous administration, at either hospital or home, will be considered. Outcomes of interest will include dehydration level, safety and pain. Studies published in English, Spanish or Portugese since database inception will be considered for inclusion.

Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus will be searched, as well as multiple sources of unpublished studies. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts against the inclusion criteria, retrieve and assess the full text of selected studies, critically appraise studies for methodological quality and extract data using a standardized extraction tool. Data will be pooled in a statistical meta-analysis, when feasible. A Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Summary of Findings will be presented.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and describe existing research on the impact of sport and physical activity programs on social outcomes among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia.

Introduction: Physical activity can be particularly beneficial for groups such as Indigenous populations, who have increased rates of chronic disease. Systematic reviews have demonstrated the positive impact of physical activity on a range of health indicators, and there is also support for the positive impact of physical activity on wider social outcomes. However, there is a lack of evidence for the benefits of physical activity for broader social outcomes among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies that include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of any age from any setting or region of Australia. Studies will be considered if they report on programs or activities that use physical activity and sport participation as a component or tool to improve one or more of six social and community outcomes: education, employment, culture, social wellbeing, life skills and crime prevention.

Methods: Nine databases will be searched, as well as a selection of websites containing resources related to physical activity, sport and social outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Studies published in English will be included. No date limits will be set. After screening the titles and abstracts of identified citations, potentially relevant studies will be retrieved in full. Data extraction will be presented in a table with accompanying narrative.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to map the available literature on school-based obesity prevention programs in rural communities.

Introduction: Significant health disparities are associated with childhood obesity, and these disparities disproportionately affect children in disadvantaged communities, such as rural areas. Youth in rural areas are 26% more likely to be obese than youth in urban communities. To combat obesity in children, schools have become an avenue for educating children about the importance of healthy diet and physical activity. Although many school-based obesity prevention programs have been implemented in recent years, more information is needed on programs in rural communities.

Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies that include children 5 to 18 years of age who are enrolled in elementary, middle or high school in a rural setting and that investigate school-based obesity prevention programs. Studies that include children who are in non-rural areas, who are home-schooled, who are in an alternative setting (e.g. juvenile detention) or who are hospitalized will be excluded. Studies published in English since 1990 will be included.

Methods: Multiple databases will be searched, including PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, Embase, Scopus and Academic Search Premier. Trials registers and gray literature will also be searched. After screening the titles and abstracts of identified citations, potentially relevant studies will be retrieved in full. Data will be extracted by independent reviewers and presented in a diagrammatic or tabular form, accompanied by a narrative summary.

Objective: The objective of this review is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) using recent scan technologies for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) in adults with high heart rates.

Introduction: Invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard for detecting significant CAD, but it is costly and carries risks of complications. Computed tomography coronary angiography has a high sensitivity for diagnosing CAD, although image quality may be affected by elevated heart rates. Recent technological advances in scanner design may increase the diagnostic accuracy of CTCA.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider diagnostic test accuracy studies that include adults 18 years and older with a heart rate greater than 65 beats per minute who have undergone CTCA to diagnose CAD (greater than 50% stenosis). Eligible studies will compare invasive coronary angiography with computed tomography scanner technologies that use either single- or dual-source scanner configuration in prospective electrocardiogram scan acquisition mode, and with a total scanner coverage equal to or greater than 128 detector-rows. Studies published in English from 2007 will be considered.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Scopus will be searched, along with Google Scholar, the NIHR-HTA register, computed tomography vendors and conference abstracts. Screening of potential titles and abstracts, retrieval of full-text studies, assessment of methodological quality and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. Meta-analyses will be performed, if possible, and a Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Summary of Findings presented.

Objective: This umbrella review aimed to determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions on the impact of rheumatoid arthritis.

Introduction: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have identified seven major domains of the impact of disease: pain, functional disability, fatigue, sleep, coping, emotional well-being and physical well-being. This impact persists in many patients even after inflammatory remission is achieved, requiring the need for adjunctive interventions targeting the uncontrolled domains of disease impact. Several systematic reviews have addressed non-pharmacologic interventions, but there is still uncertainty about their effectiveness due to scarce or conflicting results or significant methodological flaws.

Inclusion criteria: This review included studies of adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis in any context. Quantitative systematic reviews, with or without meta-analysis, that examined the effectiveness of non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions of any form, duration, frequency and intensity, alone or in combination with other interventions designed to reduce the impact of disease, were considered. The outcomes were pain, functional disability, fatigue, emotional well-being, sleep, coping, physical well-being and global impact of disease.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy for 13 bibliometric databases and gray literature was developed. Critical appraisal of eight systematic reviews was conducted independently by two reviewers, using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for systematic reviews and research syntheses. Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers using a standard Joanna Briggs Institute data extraction tool, and data were summarized using a tabular format with supporting text.

Results: Eight systematic reviews were included in this umbrella review, with a total of 91 randomized controlled trials and nine observational studies (6740 participants). Four systematic reviews examined the effects of multicomponent or single exercise/physical activity interventions, two examined the effects of hydrotherapy/balneotherapy, two examined the effects of psychosocial interventions, and one examined the effects of custom orthoses for the foot and ankle. Multicomponent or single exercise/physical activity interventions, psychosocial interventions and custom orthoses appeared to be effective in improving pain and functional disability. Fatigue also improved with the implementation of multicomponent or single exercise/physical activity interventions and psychosocial interventions. Only exercise/physical activity interventions appeared to be effective in reducing the global impact of disease and quality of life. None of the included systematic reviews reported on emotional well-being, sleep, coping or physical well-being as an outcome m

Objectives: The objective of the review was to synthesize the effectiveness and strategies used in family-based behavioral childhood obesity interventions in improving child weight-related outcomes.

Introduction: Family-based interventions are common practice in the treatment of childhood obesity. Research suggests that direct parental involvement can improve child weight-related outcomes. However, challenges remain in assessing the effects of family-based interventions on child weight and weight-related behavior due to the lack of quality programs and diversity of treatment strategies.

Inclusion criteria: The review included systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses of family-based behavioral interventions in children aged ≤18 who were classified as overweight and/or obese, and which reported child weight related outcomes, such as body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and waist circumferences.

Methods: Seven databases were searched from 1990 to May 2016 to identify English language publications. Reference lists of included reviews and relevant registers were also searched for additional reviews. All included systematic reviews were critically appraised by two reviewers independently. Data extracted included characteristics of included systematic reviews and weight-related outcomes reported. Data synthesis involved categorizing the interventions into seven categories and presented findings in narrative and tabular format. Quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.

Results: The umbrella review included 14 systematic reviews (low to moderate methodological quality), published between 2004 and 2015, including 47 independent trials ranging from one month to seven years follow-up conducted in more than 16 countries. The majority of reviews (93%) reported weight outcomes of children aged six to 13 years. All reviews except one indicated that family-based interventions were successful in improving child weight and/or weight-related behavior. Five reviews highlighted that parent-only interventions had similar (n = 4) or greater (n = 1) effectiveness compared to parent-child interventions. Effective interventions employed parent-targeted strategies, including nutrition and physical activity education sessions, positive parenting skills, role modelling and child behavior management to encourage positive healthy eating/exercise behaviors in children and/or whole family.

Conclusions: Family-based interventions targeting parents, alone or with their child, are effective for child weight management. Due to the lack of high quality evidence, especially in emerging parent-only interventions, further research is warranted. Health practitioners can work with parents as agents of change and focus on fostering positive parenting skills, such as mo

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the measurement properties of multidimensional pain assessment tools for postoperative pain in adults.

Introduction: Effective postoperative pain management increases patient safety and satisfaction, and reduces healthcare costs. The most commonly used postoperative pain assessment tools only evaluate pain intensity, which is only one aspect of the sensory dimension of pain. Pain is a subjective phenomenon, and variability exists among patients. Efforts are underway to incorporate multidimensional assessment tools for postoperative pain assessment in clinical practice.

Inclusion criteria: Eligible studies will include postoperative patients aged 18 years and older from all surgical disciplines. Studies evaluating multidimensional assessment instruments for the measurement of postoperative pain during the first two weeks following surgery will be considered. Studies will include the following measurement properties of assessment tools as outcomes: reliability, validity and generalizability.

Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane Trials (CENTRAL) will be searched, as well as ClinicalTrials.gov and multiple gray literature sources. There will be no limitations on publication date. Titles and abstracts will be screened by independent reviewers for inclusion. The full text of selected papers will be retrieved and assessed against the inclusion criteria. Two independent reviewers will assess papers for methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist, and papers with poor scores on relevant items will be excluded. Data will be extracted by two independent reviewers using a standardized data extraction tool. Statistical pooling will be performed, if possible.
