Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a growing healthcare burden, for which pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon (CB) or radiofrequency (RF) represent attractive therapies. Women are at higher risk of recurrence after AF ablation and present a specific complications profile. Therefore, a systematic catheter‐specific assessment of pulmonary vein isolation is urgently needed in women. Objective: Systematically assessing the sex‐specific efficacy/safety of CB vs RF ablation. Methods: We performed a structured database search of the scientific literature for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational prospective studies (OPS) comparing CB and RF ablation efficacy at 1 year. We investigated the reporting of sex‐specific analyses and assessed the comparative sex‐specific efficacy, safety and procedural characteristics of CB vs RF using random‐effect meta‐regression accounting for the proportion of enrolled women. Results: Twenty‐three studies were included (18 OPS and 5 RCTs) for a total of 13 509 patients. Sex‐specific outcomes by ablation device were reported in two and sex‐specific regression in four studies, none of which took the ablation device into account. Meta‐regression accounting for the proportion of enrolled women showed no significant difference in outcomes between RF or CB. Conclusion: The sex‐specific reporting in trials comparing CB to RF is extremely low. A quantitative meta‐regression using the percentage of enrolled women as sex‐specific indicator did not show any difference between CB and RF but acknowledging the low percentage of enrolled women and the lack of sex‐specific data, further research including patient‐level data is urgently needed to draw more definitive conclusions.

Twitter: @mravenEM.Study objective: Previous reviews of emergency department (ED) visit reduction programs have not required that studies meet a minimum quality level and have therefore included low-quality studies in forming conclusions about the benefits of these programs. We conduct a systematic review of ED visit reduction programs after judging the quality of the research. We aim to determine whether these programs are effective in reducing ED visits and whether they result in adverse events. Methods:We identified studies of ED visit reduction programs conducted in the United States and targeted toward adult patients from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2014. We evaluated study quality according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria and included moderate-to high-quality studies in our review. We categorized interventions according to whether they targeted high-risk or low-acuity populations. Results:We evaluated the quality of 38 studies and found 13 to be of moderate or high quality. Within these 13 studies, only case management consistently reduced ED use. Studies of ED copayments had mixed results. We did not find evidence for any increase in adverse events (hospitalization rates or mortality) from the interventions in either high-risk or low-acuity populations.Conclusion: High-quality, peer-reviewed evidence about ED visit reduction programs is limited. For most program types, we were unable to draw definitive conclusions about effectiveness. Future ED visit reduction programs should be regarded as demonstrations in need of rigorous evaluation.

“…There are only a few brief AMSTAR abstracts published in the Chinese Journal of Evidence-based Medicine (Xiong & Du, 2010;Xiong & Cheng, 2011), and the PRISMA statement (Chinese edition) was published in the Journal of Chinese Integrative Medicine in September 2009 (Moher & Alessandro, 2009). This, together with the lack of overall reporting quality, suggests that reporting guidelines have not been well promoted in China.…”
