De-implementation of low-value practices is important for improving overall health outcomes and reducing costs. We aimed to identify and synthesize randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on de-implementation interventions and to provide guidance to improve future research. Methods MEDLINE and Scopus up to May 24, 2021, for individual and cluster RCTs comparing de-implementation interventions to usual care, another intervention, or placebo. We applied independent duplicate assessment of eligibility, study characteristics, outcomes, intervention categories, implementation theories, and risk of bias. Results Of the 227 eligible trials, 145 (64%) were cluster randomized trials (median 24 clusters; median follow-up time 305 days), and 82 (36%) were individually randomized trials (median follow-up time 274 days). Of the trials, 118 (52%) were published after 2010, 149 (66%) were conducted...

Patient involvement in guideline development has been endorsed. The international guideline community has developed a toolkit to describe methods and facilitate patient involvement. The most used methods are commentary on the draft guideline and acting as guideline panel members. However, knowledge of the patient organizations’ (POs) perception of involvement is scarce. Methods Representatives from 12 POs (n = 20) in Finland were invited to group interviews (n = 4, á 1.5 h). In the qualitative analysis, we deductively identified using the Guidelines International Network public toolkit the best ways to involve patient representatives and inductively analyzed general principles for involvement and how the POs consider their potential roles. Results The interviewees raised three major principles for organizing patient involve...

The present article gives advice on how to find, assess and exploit systematic review on effectiveness. Systematic reviews on effectiveness constitute a source of knowledge for professionals within health care and welfare, researchers, developers and decision makers.
