Article Abstract

Objective: Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) entails working with patients and the public to shape research. The Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public (GRIPP2) checklist aims to improve the quality and consistency of the PPIE evidence base. This study reviews PPIE in Otolaryngology randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published since introduction of the GRIPP2.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA 200 guidelines and pre-registered on the PROSPERO database CRD42023448519. A robust systematic review filtered ten manuscripts into the final analysis. Study characteristics; GRIPP2 short form categories; PPIE utilisation, role, and impact data were extracted.

Results: Only 10 out of 346 (3%) of Otolaryngology RCTs published since 2018 described the use of PPIE. None referred to the GRIPP2 checklist. Most studies incorporating PPIE did so for the production and approval of patient-facing material review (50%). It was not possible to determine PPIE impact on patients, or the clinical impact of PPIE in the studies which incorporated it.

Conclusion: Future Otolaryngology trials should incorporate and report PPIE, which has the potential to generate benefit for all stakeholders.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and diminishes quality of life. Backward walking exercise (BWE) has been shown to improve lower muscle strength and reduce knee adduction moment, making it a recommended intervention for knee OA rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BWE combined with conventional rehabilitation programs on pain intensity and disability among individuals with knee OA.

Background: Migraine care is often suboptimal owing to undertreatment, variation in clinical outcomes and administration methods among existing treatments, and between- and within-individual heterogeneity in the clinical course of migraine. In response to these challenges, preference studies have been increasingly conducted to inform treatment decision-making and development. However, gaps remain in understanding how treatment preferences have been assessed across different migraine studies.

Objectives: Patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) typically describe symptoms of fatigue. Despite this frequency, the underlying mechanisms of fatigue are poorly understood, and are likely multifactorial. To help clarify mechanisms, the present systematic review was undertaken to determine the risk factors related to fatigue in ALS.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of heart tissue. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged as an important non-invasive imaging tool for diagnosing myocarditis, however, interpretation remains a challenge for novice physicians. Advancements in machine learning (ML) models have further improved diagnostic accuracy, demonstrating good performance.
