Practices, beliefs, and attitudes of clinicians in prescribing direct oral anticoagulants for obese adults with atrial fibrillation: a qualitative study
ConclusionThis study highlights the complexity of decision-making for clinicians, due to the limited availability, reliability and awareness of evidence, the intrinsic complexity of the obese cohort and limited guidance from clinical guidelines. This highlights the urgent need for contemporary research to improve the quality of evidence to guide informed shared decision-making. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy)

Factors that influence patient and public adverse drug reaction reporting: a systematic review using the theoretical domains framework
ConclusionStudies included in this review were deemed of low risk of bias and allowed for identification of key behavioural determinants, which may be mapped to evidence-based behavioral change strategies that facilitate intervention development to enhance rates of ADR reporting. Aligning strategies should focus on education, training and further involvement from regulatory bodies and government support to establish mechanisms, which facilitate feedback and follow-ups on submitted reports.

Factors associated with underreporting of adverse drug reactions by patients: a systematic review
ConclusionThis study highlighted the scarcity of research conducted with the aim of assessing ADR underreporting by patients. Knowledge, attitudes, and excuses were commonly observed in the decision to report ADRs. These motives are characteristics that can be changed; hence strategies must be designed to raise awareness, continually educate, and empower this population to change the paradigm of underreporting.

Causality assessment of adverse drug reactions in neonates: a comparative study between Naranjo's algorithm and Du's tool
ConclusionAlthough the Du algorithm has a lower reproducibility compared to the Naranjo, this tool showed good sensitivity for classifying ADRs as definite, proving to be a more suitable tool for neonatal clinical routine. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy)

Cardiometabolic risk in people under 40 years with severe mental illness: reading between the guidelines
AbstractPeople with severe mental illness (SMI) have a shorter life expectancy than the rest of the population. Multimorbidity and poorer physical health contribute to this health inequality. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity confers a significant mortality risk in this population. Multimorbidity is not restricted to older people and people with SMI present with multimorbidity earlier in life. Despite this, most screening, prevention and treatment strategies target older people. People under 40 years with SMI are underserved by current guidelines for cardiovascular risk assessment and reduction. Research is needed to develop ...
