A (24 studies) synthesises evidence around the impact of adopting different perspectives when valuing child & adolescent
link.springer.com/article/10.1

Results show that differences in mean values arise with different perspectives on severe child . These differences are influenced by factors such as health state severity and valuation method. Uncertainty remains regarding the optimal choice of preference elicitation and anchoring methods.

One of my PhD students is currently conducting a and found within their ~6.3k screening hits seven retracted papers.
❤️

Stated retraction reason:

3x integrity of journal or (Hindawi)

2x errors & update published

1x error & no update published

1x no ethics approval

As already with errata / corrigenda, this is extremely heterogeneous and not all retractions are equal.

Working on a #SystematicReview and #metaanalysis 🌪️
I have a basic problem with 'esc' package

When I want convert (un)standardized beta to r, I can't use vectors with esc_beta or esc_B , but it is ok if I convert beta in d or g.

I want convert numerous Beta in r.

Ideas ? :rickroll:

It is likely due to the type of data used, but the included studies are only from seven countries (and only one MIC).

A very good piece of news that came just in time for Christmas:

Andrew Dyer, whom I had the honour of co-supervising at , has defended his PhD! 🎉

If you want to have a first peek at his work on alcohol and , you can have a look at this that was published earlier this year:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

Screenshot of a Tweet by Andrew Dyer (@AndrewDyer10) saying:

"Very happy to say that on MondayI successfully defended my PhD!

Thank you so much to my supervisors Paul Toner, Dr David Curran, & Jan R Boehnke.

Thank you to professors Jaime Delgadillo & Martin Dempster for a great viva discussion, & to convenor Pauline Adair

Reflecting on research experiences with people living with Multiple Sclerosis, she realised that what was important to patients did not form a consistent hierarchy of domains for each patient over time. This led her into research and she discusses her most recent on the importance of the phenomenon in :

A from the " – in Sync Working Group" analysed 150 studies

Apart from the interest in the psychological phenomenon, the relative size of such effects compared to intervention effects (e.g., in link.springer.com/article/10.1) is very important for in research (see also doi.org/10.1007/s11136-023-033).

Therefore an interesting descriptive finding: it was possible only for 105 of these studies to calculate -s.

Fifty-nine studies were included in this on the costs of

i) annual costs of per person ranged from I$*800 to I$150,000

ii) increased country GDP per capita was associated with higher costs

iii) morbidity-dyads including conditions are among the most costly (I$36,840)

Important future research: The included studies mostly focused on direct costs and countries.

Routine outcome data are a valuable source of evidence.

Using the REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely-collected health Data statement this finds that the reporting quality was largely not great:
