Article Abstract
Objective: Experimental studies using vignettes investigate the impact of healthcare professional or patient/client characteristics, communication, and/or other behaviors on outcomes. To ensure methodological rigor and quality, guidance is needed for systematic reporting of such studies. We describe the development of the Guideline for RepOrting of Vignette Experiments (GROVE).
Methods: A steering group comprising experts in vignette research oversaw guideline development using an iterative and expert-driven approach. The development process included reviewing relevant literature, developing draft reporting criteria, soliciting feedback from a working group of international experts, applying the draft criteria to completed or planned vignette studies, and iteratively revising criteria until final group consensus was reached. GROVE was registered with the EQUATOR network repository of reporting guidelines.
Results: The final guideline encompasses the following criteria: 1. Rationale for a vignette design; 2. Vignette content; 3. Outcomes; 4. Vignette validity & realism; 5. Participants; and 6. Accessibility. Criterion 2 is further divided into five sub-criteria: 2.1. Healthcare scenario; 2.2. Manipulation & standardization; 2.3. Mode of delivery; 2.4. Expert involvement; and 2.5. Pilot testing.
Conclusion: GROVE offers authors guidance in reporting experimental vignette studies.
Practice Implications: Transparent reporting of vignette studies will help readers evaluate the reliability and validity of study findings, replicate studies, and extract relevant information for reviews.

In many countries little is known about the attitudes and ethical beliefs of practicing psychiatrists towards the use of coercive practices. This is true as regards Russia where coercion was used for political purposes during the Soviet period. However, substantial changes have occurred in the psychiatric system in recent decades with a focus on patients' rights and the idea of consent.

Clinical Vignette: RNA polymerase III subunit A (POLR3A) related disorders are a group of heterogeneous diseases with a recessive autosomic inheritance. These disorders manifest with distinct clinical features like ataxia, spasticity, hypodontia, hypogonadism, mental retardation and progressive motor decline.
Clinical Dilemma: POLR3A gene mutation can manifest with parkinsonism, dystonia, ataxia and tremor.

Background And Objectives: Guidelines for super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) evaluation, management, and prognostication are lacking. Characterization of practice patterns could identify trends and potential areas for future inquiry. We surveyed clinicians who manage SRSE to better understand practice approaches to SRSE evaluation, management, and prognostication.

Objectives: To assess patterns across 21 countries in dentists' thresholds for initiating operative treatment of active non-cavitated carious lesions and to evaluate the influence of caries risk, clinician characteristics, and geographic variation on decision-making in accordance with current guidelines.
Methods: A cross-sectional, vignette-style web-based survey was conducted between June and October 2023 across 21 countries. A standardized questionnaire, comprising theoretical radiographic scenarios of occlusal and approximal active non-cavitated carious lesions at four progressive stages (E1,E2,EDJ,D1), was distributed to general dentists and specialists.

Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant (mIDH) gliomas are malignant central nervous system tumours. After initial resection, patients with mIDH gliomas with favourable prognosis may live without receiving oncologic treatment for years, but ultimately patients will experience recurrence and require radio- and/or chemotherapy (RT/CT). Cost-utility analyses (CUA) can explore the value of treatments that delay recurrence and initiation of RT/CT.
