New paper out.
In a nationwide study of 422 oesophageal and gastric cancer survivors, university education was the strongest factor associated with self-care engagement, and high self-care engagement was associated with better quality of life.

A widely used knee surgery may not just be ineffective — it may cause harm.

10-year results from the FIDELITY trial, now in @NEJM.

Excellent review - most studies focus on surgery & chemoradiotherapy 💉💊, but key areas like social life 👫, mental health 🙆, and existential well-being 🏋️ remain under-researched. https://t.co/NZVH32lKAp

💡 Tre snabba om tendinopati:

Mindre laktat = bättre läkning

Senor har en blod–sen-barriär

Tenofager = senans vakthundar

🧪 Can we trust the RCTs included in systematic reviews?

In our new study, 1 in 3 RCTs raised red flags for authenticity when assessed using trustworthiness checks.

Time to rethink assumptions.

Call to action: Develop a new, robust, and evidence-based pain assessment scale for newborns—an essential step toward improving neonatal care on a global scale.

Neonatal pain assessment and management presents a challenge for clinical staff worldwide. Over 40 rating scales have been developed and adapted worldwide assessing different parameters and various types of pain.

[Cochrane Neonatal @CochraneNeonate]

We analyzed 79 studies (7197 infants, 326 nurses, 12 physicians) across 26 countries using 27 clinical rating scales.
Neonatal pain scales showed very low-certainty evidence, raising serious concerns about their validity and reliability in neonatal care.

Our recent Cochrane review reveals that current clinical tools for assessing pain in newborns lack robust evidence, raising concerns about their reliability and validity. https://t.co/qjmQjwaRDn

🚀 Just published our latest study on the impact of physical exercise on health-related quality of life after esophageal or gastric cancer surgery. Results show no significant improvement, highlighting the need for more research. Link to paper https://t.co/mgnOapsaUj 📚

Of the systematic reviews in Swedish doctoral theses, 90% are rated as low to very low quality. Let's support PhD students with better training & tools to improve research quality!

I am a co-author of this interesting paper. Our assessment of 2021 theses found that only 5.4% included a Systematic review (in a Swedish setting). Better SR training could reduce redundant research & improve research skills. #SystematicReview
