Reporting dose in complex self-management support interventions for long-term conditions: is it defined by researchers and received by participants? A systematic review
Conclusions Interpreting results and implementing effective complex self-management interventions is difficult when researchers’ reporting of dose is not in line with guidelines. If trial findings indicate benefit from the intervention, clear reporting of dose ensures reliable implementation to standard care. If the results are non-significant, detailed reporting enables better interpretation of results, that is, differentiating between poor implementation and lack of effectiveness. This ensures quality of interventions and validity and generalisability of trial findings. Therefore, wider adoption of reporting the TI...

Quality of life and its associated factors among home-dwelling older people residing in the District of Colombo, Sri Lanka: a community-based cross-sectional study
Conclusion The overall QOL of home-dwelling elders of the Colombo District is moderate, with the lowest score being in social relationships and the highest in the environmental domain. Educational status, engaging in religious activities and financial independence are key factors associated with a better QOL. Limitations in physical activity and chronic diseases are associated with a reduced QOL. Living with the spouse is a key factor associated with the psychological health domain.

Estimate of the prevalence of subjects with chronic diseases in a province of Northern Italy: a retrospective study based on administrative databases
Conclusions Despite the difficulty of having a unique definition of chronic disease, the prevalence obtained was coherent with the estimates reported by other national surveillance systems such as Passi and Passi d’Argento. Underestimates were observed when international comparisons were done; however, when we used less stringent definitions of chronic diseases, similar results were obtained.
