Introduction: Agenda-setting is a collaborative communication strategy used by a clinician before or at the start of a clinical encounter to work together with the patient to "elicit, propose, and organize" topics to be discussed during the encounter. While clinical visit agenda-setting has been acknowledged as an important element of patient-centered communication, the effectiveness of agenda-setting interventions in improving healthcare outcomes is unclear. To our knowledge, no systematic review has examined clinical visit agenda-setting interventions.
Methods And Analysis: The primary aim of the systematic review will be to assess the effects of agenda-setting interventions on outcomes relating to the clinical encounter itself, patients, and clinicians, as well as any other study-specified outcomes. Our secondary aims will be to examine the characteristics and delivery attributes of agenda-setting interventions, as well as how agenda-setting has been operationalized and measured. We will search selected databases (APA PsycInfo, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MEDLINE via PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science) and gray literature from inception until date of search. All studies comparing a clinical visit agenda-setting intervention with either usual care or another agenda-setting intervention will be included. Two independent reviewers will complete article screening and data extraction, with a third independent reviewer resolving any conflicts. We will assess all studies' methodological quality and the quality of their evidence using standardized criteria. If a sufficient number of studies report the same outcomes, we will pool their results and perform a meta-analysis of those outcomes. We will also synthesize all results qualitatively, regardless of whether we are able to complete a meta-analysis.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Clinical Resource Hubs (CRHs) provide telemental health (TMH) services to improve access for Veterans, but use varies greatly across clinics. A retrospective FY23 analysis examined all VHA outpatient mental health encounters. Clinics were categorized by CRH-MH use and level of CRH-MH penetration.

Background: Congenital aortic valvar disease represents a heterogeneous population with suboptimal surgical repair or replacement outcomes. We assess our approach and short-term outcomes in this population using cardiac CT evaluation for personalised surgical planning and execution.
Methods: We assessed patients who underwent aortic valvar surgery from February 2022 to August 2024.

Dental schools stand at a crossroads. While research drives clinical innovation and improves patient outcomes, the pipeline for training future dentist-scientists remains underdeveloped. Programs such as DDS/DMD-PhD pathways and NIDCR-supported initiatives aim to integrate scientific inquiry with clinical training.

Objective: In the and genes have been associated with elevated MICs to antiseptics with such organisms often termed antiseptic tolerant (ATSA). The impact of repeated healthcare or antiseptic exposure on colonization with ATSA is uncertain.
Design: Prospective longitudinal cohort study.
Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to compare resource utilization between lower and higher-risk brief resolved unexplained events (BRUE) in the general (GED) and pediatric (PED) emergency departments.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of BRUE cases from a large health system over 6-and-a-half years. Our primary outcome was the count of diagnostic tests per encounter.
