Questions: 1. 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

Review Objectives: The objective of this review is to find, a ssess and synthesize the evidence on EBP programs in enhancing the EBP knowledge, skills and attitudes of allied health practitioners. Review questions: What is the effectiveness of using EBP programs for allied health practitioners in improving the EBP knowledge, skills and attitudes Inclusion criteria: Types of participants: This review will include as participants allied health practitioners (physiotherapists, occupational therapists etc) who participated in any EBP educational program or part of an EBP program (formulating clinical questions, searching the literature, critical appraisal skills program etc). Types of interventions: The intervention of interest in this review is any EBP training program defined as any formal program facilitating the search and use of evidence in practice. The contents (lectures only or lectures with actual demonstrations and practice), length (hours, days, weeks) and manner of delivery (face to face, face to face with supplementary materials etc) of the program may vary in each of the studies to be included as there is no standard EBP training program. Types of Outcome: The main outcomes measured are the EBP domains of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour as a result of participating in the EBP program or a component of it. Specific measures may include but not limited to the use of the adapted Fresno questionnaire (22) to assess knowledge, skills and attitudes to EBP. The adapted Fresno question has good psychometric properties and is especially fitting novice rehabilitation professionals undergoing EBP training.

Review question/objective The aim of this systematic review is to comprehensively search the available literature and to synthesise the best available evidence to determine the diagnostic accuracy of currently available laboratory tests for swine flu (H1N1), using viral culture as a reference test. Inclusion Criteria Types of participants Studies will be considered for inclusion in the review if the participants are human patients exhibiting influenza-like symptoms who have been tested for swine flu (H1N1) using both a diagnostic and reference test. There will be no exclusion based on age, gender or co-morbidities, but subgroup analysis will be conducted if there is sufficient data and if appropriate. Phenomenon of interest The phenomenon of interest is the correct identification of H1N1 infection. This review will consider studies that compare the accuracy of laboratory tests aiming to diagnose swine flu (H1N1) in patients presenting with influenza-like symptoms, in comparison to viral culture. Outcome measures The accuracy of diagnostic tests will be determined by how well the test correctly gives positive results for patients with confirmed swine flu (H1N1) and negative results for patients without, as determined by viral culture. It is anticipated that data will be presented as raw test results or sensitivities and specificities of the test compared with viral culture will be presented. Other statistics to elaborate on diagnostic test accuracy may include likelihood ratios and/or predictive values.

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.

背景自我血糖监测(SMBG)旨在通过糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)来改善血糖控制。SMBG治疗2型糖尿病(T2DM)的有效性已被充分证明，但尚未对T2DM患者使用SMBG的经济证据进行系统回顾。目的对T2DM患者SMBG的经济评估进行系统回顾。纳入标准:所有成年T2DM患者均纳入。不同治疗组的结果，如有规定，也被记录。研究检验了SMBG作为控制血糖的干预措施。要被纳入，研究必须在成本效益或成本效用分析中正式尝试将成本与结果数据联系起来。主要的结果是成本-效果和成本-效用。搜查策略进行了广泛的电子搜查。检索了1990年至2009年1月期间的全文论文和会议摘要。纳入研究的方法学质量由两名审稿人使用来自JBI‐Actuari (Joanna Briggs Institute‐Analysis of Cost, Technology and utilization Assessment and Review Instrument)的标准关键评估工具进行评估。纳入的模型研究也使用菲利普斯及其同事制定的经济模型审查标准进行评估。使用JBI‐Actuari提取工具提取纳入研究的数据。数据综合研究按结果测量分组，并使用表格和叙述格式进行总结。结果5项研究符合评价标准。其中三个是基于模型的分析，评估了SMBG的长期成本效益，所有这些分析都得出了SMBG具有成本效益的结论。两项进一步的初步经济评估评估了短期成本效益。他们的结果发现，SMBG与成本增加有关，而HbA1c没有显著降低。这些研究根据治疗方案检查了亚组，与饮食和运动组相比，药物和胰岛素治疗组的SMBG被认为更有可能具有成本效益。结论:T2DM患者中SMBG的经济证据尚不清楚。在大多数情况下，纳入的研究发现SMBG具有成本效益，尽管分析对相对效应、分析的时间框架和模型假设非常敏感。虽然存在很大的不确定性，但SMBG在某些亚组中可能具有成本效益，例如药物和胰岛素治疗的患者。实践意义没有强有力的证据建议在控制良好的糖尿病患者中定期使用SMBG，仅通过饮食和运动计划进行治疗。这些证据确实为药物和胰岛素治疗T2DM的SMBG提供了支持。建议临床医生根据他们的专业知识，从这些群体中选择合适的SMBG患者。对SMBG的大规模前瞻性随机对照试验，特别是在药物和胰岛素治疗的患者中，与他们一起进行良好的经济评估，将能够更准确地估计SMBG的成本效益。SMBG的最佳频率和管理仍然未知，这是另一个值得进一步研究的领域。
