Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) is the most common shoulder pain condition in primary care. Despite the importance of shared decision-making (SDM) being increasingly recognised, its application in SAPS care remains poorly understood. The primary aim of this study was to explore the influence of a decision aid on patient and observer perceptions of SDM, and secondarily to explore correlations between these ratings in the primary care management of patients with SAPS.

Professional societies recommend antiviral treatment of all children at high risk for severe or complicated influenza disease, regardless of symptom duration. However, outpatient antiviral prescribing practices are inconsistent. We aimed to assess pediatric clinicians' outpatient prescribing practices for oseltamivir in children with influenza.

Although the concept of overdiagnosis was first referenced in MEDLINE 100 years ago, consensus on a clear definition has been lacking. In 2021, the MeSH term "Overdiagnosis" was officially introduced, which defined the concept. A key goal of the new term is to improve the reliability of literature searches and enhance the conceptual understanding of overdiagnosis.

Unplanned delays are common during FOLFOX chemotherapy. We evaluated a novel FOLFOX dose modification algorithm designed to reduce unplanned delays while maintaining dose intensity.

Although social determinants of health (SDOH) have a significant impact on health outcomes and many are already included among the "Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention" in the , general awareness of these codes and the importance of using them to communicate SDOH has not occurred. This Open Forum proposes that the adopt a biaxial system of assessment to enhance their consideration and reporting. A biaxial approach, the authors argue, when combined with financial incentives, will increase the likelihood of SDOH reporting and potentially improve care.

Colorectal cancer (CCR) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Early detection remains a highly effective strategy for curing this disease. In France, despite a free organised screening programme for people aged between 50 and 74, participation rates remain suboptimal. Socioeconomic position and health literacy levels exacerbate the situation, with the lowest screening rates observed in the most socially disadvantaged areas. This study assessed patients' and General Practitioners' (GP) views on the acceptability of an intervention to increase screening uptake using a simple brochure and video on the importance and process of CCR screening.

Leaders in the field have called for exercise counseling to become standard of care by 2029. An Affect-based exercise prescription (Affect-Rx) may be a viable strategy for supporting this effort.

Chronic illness prevalence is increasing and research recruitment in these populations remains challenging. Individuals with chronic illness often have poorer quality of life, restricted access to hospitals where research occurs, and can be reluctant to participate. Researchers need multiple simultaneous strategies to achieve success. No taxonomy of recruitment factors in chronic illness research could be identified in the literature. This paper aims to describe a comprehensive taxonomy of recruitment for chronic illness research (inclusive of a nursing focus) to inform the design and reporting of recruitment strategies by creating a list of practical questions.

Social determinants of health (SDoH) are key risk factors impacting diabetes outcomes. The American Diabetes Association has identified five principal SDoH categories influencing diabetes outcomes: socioeconomic status, neighborhood and physical environment, food environment, healthcare, and social context. Currently, no concise and valid instruments exist to measure the burden of SDoH factors for individuals with diabetes. To fill this gap, we developed the Diabetes Index for Social Determinants of Health (DISDOH).
