Methodological quality (risk of bias) assessment is an important step before study initiation usage. Therefore, accurately judging study type is the first priority, and the choosing proper tool is also important. In this review, we introduced methodological quality assessment tools for randomized controlled trial (including individual and cluster), animal study, non-randomized interventional studies (including follow-up study, controlled before-and-after study, before-after/ pre-post study, uncontrolled longitudinal study, interrupted time series study), cohort study, case-control study, cross-sectional study (including analytical and descriptive), observational case series and case reports, comparative effectiveness research, diagnostic study, health economic evaluation, prediction study (including predictor finding study, prediction model impact study, prognostic prediction model study), qualitative study, outcome measurement instruments (including patient -reported outcome measure development, content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, cross-cultural validity/ measurement invariance, reliability, measurement error, criterion validity, hypotheses testing for construct validity, and responsiveness), systematic review and meta-analysis, and clinical practice guideline. The readers of our review can distinguish the types of medical studies and choose appropriate tools. In one word, comprehensively mastering relevant knowledge and implementing more practices are basic requirements for correctly assessing the methodological quality.

The Quality and Reporting of Randomized Trials in Cardiothoracic Physical Therapy Could Be Substantially Improved

et al. 2013

BACKGROUND: While the number of reports of randomized controlled trials in physical therapy has increased substantially in the last decades, the quality and reporting of randomized trials have never been systematically investigated in the subdiscipline of cardiothoracic physical therapy. The primary aim was to determine the methodological quality and completeness of reporting of cardiothoracic physical therapy trials. Secondary aims were to investigate the range of clinical conditions investigated in these trials and the degree of association between trial characteristics and quality. METHODS: All reports of randomized trials indexed on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and coded as being relevant to cardiothoracic physical therapy were surveyed. PEDro scale individual items and total score were downloaded, and some characteristics included in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement were extracted for each trial report. RESULTS: The mean ؎ SD total PEDro score for the 2,970 included reports of cardiothoracic trials was 4.7 ؎ 1.4, with 27% being of moderate to high quality. The clinical conditions studied included chronic lung diseases (32% of the trials), cardiac diseases (20%), cardiovascular surgical conditions (5%), sleep disorders (5%), peripheral vascular disease (4%), acute lung disease (4%), critical illness (3%), and other surgical conditions (3%). The multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that endorsement of the CONSORT statement by the publishing journal, time since publication, evidence of trial registration, sources of funding, description of the sample size calculation, and identification of the primary outcome(s) had associations with the total PEDro score. CONCLUSIONS: There is great potential to improve the quality of the conduct and reporting of trials evaluating the effects of cardiothoracic physical therapy.

Influence of inspiratory muscle training on weaning patients from mechanical ventilation: a systematic review

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction:The inability of respiratory muscles to generate force and endurance is recognized as an important cause of failure in weaning patients from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Thus, inspiratory muscle training (IMT) might be an interesting treatment option for patients with prolonged IMV weaning. Objective: The aim of this systematic literature review was to evaluate the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation and to identify the most effective type of training for this particular purpose. Methods: We searched PubMed, LILACS, PEDro and Web of Science for randomized clinical trials published in English or Portuguese from January 1990 until March 2015. Results: Eighty-nine studies were identified of which five were selected. A total of 267 patients participated in the five randomized clinical trials analyzed here. IMV duration before onset of training varied greatly among subjects. Three studies performed IMT using a threshold device and two studies used adjustments of ventilator pressure sensitivity. Four studies have shown that IMT resulted in a significant increase in inspiratory Volpe MS, Aleixo AA, De Almeida PRMN. 174 maximal pressure. Only two studies, however, have reported that IMT resulted in higher success rates in weaning patients from IMV. One study has found that patients showed a shorter ventilator weaning duration after IMT. Conclusion: IMT using pressure threshold devices results in increased inspiratory muscle strength and can therefore be considered a more effective treatment option and with the potential to optimize ventilator weaning success in patients at risk of prolonged IMV. Introdução: A incapacidade da musculatura respiratória em gerar força e resistência constitui uma importante causa de insucesso no desmame da ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI). Neste contexto, o treinamento da musculatura inspiratória (TMI) torna-se uma opção de tratamento para pacientes que evoluem com desmame da VMI prolongado. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão sistemática para avaliar a efetividade do TMI no desmame de pacientes da VMI e identificar a forma de treinamento mais efetivo. Métodos: Foram incluídos apenas ensaios clínicos randomizados, nos idiomas português e/ou inglês, publicados entre janeiro de 1990 e março de 2015. A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas Pubmed, LILACS, PEDro e Web of Science. Resultados: Foram identificados 89 estudos, mas apenas cinco foram selecionados. Participaram dos cinco ensaios randomizados 267 pacientes com tempo de VMI, antes do início do treinamento, diverso. O TMI aplicado foi distinto, dois estudos utilizaram a sensibilidade do ventilador e três estudos, aparelhos com limiar de pressão (threshold). Quatro estudos mostraram que o TMI resultou em aumento da pressão máxima inspiratória. No entanto, apenas dois estudos reportaram que o TMI resultou em maior taxa de sucesso no desmame da VMI e um estudo, em menor tempo de desmame ventilatório. Conclusão: O TMI realizado com aparelhos com limiar ...
