Promotion of early breast milk expression among mothers of preterm infants in the neonatal ICU in an obstetrics and gynaecology hospital: a best practice implementation project
Conclusion: The current project has demonstrated that the implementation of evidence-based practice was effective in promotion of early breast milk expression among mothers of preterm infants in the neonatal ICU. The role of a nurse specialist in breastfeeding, involvement of multidisciplinary staff and utilization of online networking software were highlighted in this project. Future audits may be undertaken to evaluate the long-term effect of the implementation. (Source: International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare)

A 42-item questionnaire composed of a demographic survey, Individual Workload Perception Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory Scale were used. Simple descriptive statistics, Pearson's product–moment correlations, and multiple regression analysis procedures were used to analyze the data. R...

Development of a novel patient focussed symptom severity index for use in assessing and treating inflammatory conditions of the lactating breast: a Delphi study
Conclusion: The resultant Breast Inflammatory Symptom Severity Index (BISSI) is a patient-reported outcome measure for use in the diagnosis and monitoring of clinical changes of symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions of the lactating breast including engorgement, blocked ducts and mastitis. It utilizes person-centred language and assesses symptoms considered important to both patient and clinician. The development of the clinician script facilitates utility regardless of the experience of either the woman with the inflammatory condition or the treating clinician.

Completeness of intervention reporting in neurology randomized controlled trials: a retrospective, cross-sectional study
Conclusion: Our findings showed that on average, authors reported only 61.7% of items on the TIDieR checklist. These findings have significant implications, because incomplete reporting may hinder the replicability of studies and thus negatively affect clinical outcomes for patients.

Dental care as a risk factor for transfusion transmissible infections in blood donors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: Studies of high quality concerning the risk of TTI after dental care in blood donors are scarce. An association of HBV after dental treatment and HCV after tooth extraction was demonstrated but evidence is of very low certainty. The currently identified studies are of too low certainty to make any suggestions regarding the value of deferral or deferral times. (Source: International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare)

Exploring the evidence-practice gap in the use of plain radiography for acute abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: The results suggest that use of plain abdominal radiography could be substantially reduced, particularly for patients with undifferentiated acute abdominal pain. While some guidelines exist, there is sound argument for clinical decision rules for abdominal imaging to inform evidence-based clinical decision-making and radiology referrals.
