All five reading-/language-related traits showed robust SNP heritability, accounting for 13 to 26% of trait variability. Genomic structural equation modeling revealed a shared genetic factor explaining most of the variation in word/nonword reading, spelling, and phoneme awareness, which only partially overlapped with genetic variation contributing to nonword repetition, intelligence, and educational attainment. A multivariate GWAS of word/nonword reading, spelling, and phoneme awareness maximized power for follow-up investigation. Genetic correlation analysis with neuroimaging traits identified an association with the surface area of the banks of the left superior temporal sulcus, a brain region linked to the processing of spoken and written language. Heritability was enriched for genomic elements regulating gene expression in the fetal brain and in chromosomal regions that are depleted of Neanderthal variants. Together, these results provide avenues for deciphering the biological underpinnings of uniquely human traits.]]> Wed 16 Aug 2023 10:23:55 AEST ]]> Selective cutoff reporting in studies of the accuracy of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale: Comparison of results based on published cutoffs versus all cutoffs using individual participant data meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49889 Wed 14 Jun 2023 17:31:45 AEST ]]> Necessary corruption: when the ends justify the means, a study of Latin America https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38445 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:02:46 AEDT ]]> Central vein sign for multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38205 2 = 0.0%; p=0.5).

Results: There were significant differences in the definitions used, the time frames of interest, and the populations surveyed. There was significant heterogeneity across studies. Overall prevalence of urinary incontinence for Australian adults was estimated to be 19.3% and 2.2% in Australian women and men, respectively. Overall prevalence of faecal incontinence was estimated to be 5.3% and 5.5% in Australian women and men, respectively. Conclusions: It is disappointing that with so many studies published in this area, there is still a lack of high quality, basic descriptive epidemiology of this important health problem. These estimates of the prevalences of urinary and faecal incontinence should assist policy making in this area.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:43:44 AEST ]]> Women's reproductive health and nutrition https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22536 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:41:01 AEST ]]> Insight in schizophrenia: meta-analyses of the relationships between insight and functioning, and insight and quality of life https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11005 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:31:47 AEST ]]> Comparison of HapMap and 1000 genomes reference panels in a large-scale genome-wide association study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30590 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:46:14 AEST ]]> The Berg balance scale has high intra- and inter-rater reliability but absolute reliability varies across the scale: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18924 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:44:04 AEST ]]> Meta-analysis adjusting for heterogeneity, dependence and non-normality: a Bayesian parametric approach https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19277 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:14:34 AEST ]]> The inflammation hypothesis of depression: cross sectional associations, temporal relationships and the confounds of comorbidity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14030 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:05:47 AEST ]]> Effective psychological and psychosocial approaches to reduce repetition of self-harm: a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29465 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:50:14 AEST ]]> Investigating sex differences in the accuracy of dietary assessment methods to measure energy intake in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39272 n = 12, 2 with supplemental photos of food items consumed), estimated food records (EFRs; n = 11), FFQs (n = 10), weighed food records (WFRs, n = 5), and diet histories (n = 2). Meta-analyses identified underestimation of TEI by females and males, ranging from −1318 kJ/d (95% CI: −1967, −669) for FFQ to −2650 kJ/d (95% CI: −3492, −1807) for 24-h recalls for females, and from −1764 kJ/d (95% CI: −2285, −1242) for FFQ to −3438 kJ/d (95% CI: −5382, −1494) for WFR for males. There was no difference in the level of underestimation by sex, except when using EFR, for which males underestimated energy intake more than females (by 590 kJ/d, 95% CI: 35, 1,146). Conclusion: Substantial underestimation of TEI across a range of dietary assessment methods was identified, similar by sex. These underestimations should be considered when assessing TEI and interpreting diet–disease relations.]]> Wed 10 Aug 2022 10:51:27 AEST ]]> Investigating post-stroke fatigue: an individual participant data meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45795 Wed 09 Nov 2022 10:13:35 AEDT ]]> HER2 status predicts for upfront AI benefit: a TRANS-AIOG meta-analysis of 12,129 patients from ATAC, BIG 1-98 and TEAM with centrally determined HER2 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34088 Wed 06 Feb 2019 16:16:15 AEDT ]]> Systematic review of universal resilience-focused interventions targeting child and adolescent mental health in the school setting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34072 12 months), and gender (narrative). Results A total of 57 included trials were identified from 5,984 records, with 49 contributing to meta-analyses. For all trials, resilience-focused interventions were effective relative to a control in reducing 4 of 7 outcomes: depressive symptoms, internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and general psychological distress. For child trials (meta-analyses for 6 outcomes), interventions were effective for anxiety symptoms and general psychological distress. For adolescent trials (meta-analyses for 5 outcomes), interventions were effective for internalizing problems. For short-term follow-up, interventions were effective for 2 of 7 outcomes: depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms. For long-term follow-up (meta-analyses for 5 outcomes), interventions were effective for internalizing problems. Conclusion The findings may suggest most promise for using universal resilience-focused interventions at least for short-term reductions in depressive and anxiety symptoms for children and adolescents, particularly if a cognitive-behavioral therapy-based approach is used. The limited number of trials providing data amenable for meta-analysis for some outcomes and subgroups, the variability of interventions, study quality, and bias mean that it is not possible to draw more specific conclusions. Identifying what intervention qualities (such as number and type of protective factor) achieve the greatest positive effect per mental health problem outcome remains an important area for future research.

Academic performance, principally mathematics-related skills, was also increased by quality-based PE interventions (g=0.15, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.24; I 2=41.75%). Among these interventions, teaching strategies favoured similar results, but without heterogeneity in the results (g=0.12, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.18; I 2=0%). In contrast, quantity-based PE interventions had a very small and non-significant effect on academic performance (g=0.09, 95% CI -0.05 to 0.24; Q=11.65; I 2=48.48%). Finally, there were no differences between the three PE interventions (ie, quantity, quality, and combined PE interventions) in regard to academic performance. CONCLUSION: Improving the quality of PE classes may improve students' cognition and academic performance in children and adolescents. Importantly, allocating more time for PE does not seem to compromise this performance.]]> Thu 25 Aug 2022 11:47:15 AEST ]]> The prevalence of fatigue after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25778 or ≥ 4 were available for 22 of these 24 studies (total n = 3491), and ranged from 25 to 85%. In random effects meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence estimate was 50% (95% CI 43-57%), with substantial heterogeneity (I² = 94%). Neither depression status nor time point post-stroke explained the heterogeneity between studies. In post-hoc analysis, fatigue prevalence was found to be lower in the four Asian studies (35%; 95% CI 20-50; I² = 96%). Conclusions: Our results confirm that fatigue is a widespread issue for stroke survivors, although it may be less prevalent in Asia.

Studies were considered if the participants had existing co-morbidities associated with overweight and obesity; however, they were excluded if participants had major medical problems or psychological illness. Types of intervention(s): Weight loss maintenance intervention strategies considered eligible were manipulation of a specific dietary component including prescribed diets, guidelines, advice and/or support to adhere to a dietary prescription. Types of studies: Only randomized controlled trial study designs were considered. Types of outcomes: The primary outcome measures were weight change, body mass index change, waist circumference change and body fat change. Search strategy: Published and unpublished studies in the English language from 1970 to January 2012 were identified from six electronic databases. Methodological quality: Methodological quality was assessed by two independent reviewers using the standardized critical appraisal instrument from the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument. Data collection: Data were extracted using the JBI data extraction form for experimental studies and included participant characteristics, intervention characteristics, study retention rates, and weight outcomes (weight change; kg or %, body mass index, waist circumference). Data synthesis: The impact of interventions on weight outcomes was described in a narrative format within each group of studies. The effectiveness of weight loss maintenance interventions was also assessed using the criteria of maintenance of ≥5% of initial weight loss. When studies were sufficiently similar and results were reported as either changescores or final values, and presented as means with standard deviations, data were pooled in a meta-analysis. Results: Sixty-four articles representing 56 studies were included in this review. Twenty seven studies prescribed a diet intervention, 11 meal replacements, two re-feeding time and type, and 16 support delivery mode interventions. Of the 56 studies, only 14 reported significant results for weight loss maintenance (Diet n=6, Meal replacements, n=1, Re-feeding n=1, Support delivery mode n=6). Conclusions: Currently there are many weight loss maintenance interventions being trialed but few have been found to be effective at maintaining >5% of initial weight loss. Whether this is due to the intervention itself being ineffective or simply the lack of reporting of this outcome, it is clear that more studies are needed to address this issue.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:19:46 AEDT ]]> Shared genetic susceptibility to ischemic stroke and coronary artery disease : a genome-wide analysis of common variants https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21442 x10-8) for the combined phenotype of IS or CAD and 17 loci passed genome-wide significance for LAS or CAD.

Results: From 3209 citations identified, 28 studies were included, reporting results for 920 participants. Studies typically included chronic, ambulant participants with mild to moderate deficits; used an aerobic or mixed (with an aerobic component) intervention; and prescribed 3 sessions per week for 30 to 60 minutes per session at a given intensity. Baseline VO2peak values were low (8-23 mL/kg/min). Meta-analysis of the 12 randomized controlled trials demonstrated overall improvements in VO2peak of 2.27 (95% confidence interval = 1.58, 2.95) mL/kg/min postintervention. A similar 10% to 15% improvement occurred with both aerobic and mixed interventions and in shorter (≤3 months) and longer (>3 months) length programs. Only 1 study calculated total dose received and only 1 included long-term follow-up. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that interventions with an aerobic component can improve cardiorespiratory fitness poststroke. Further investigation is required to determine effectiveness in those with greater impairment and comorbidities, optimal timing and dose of intervention, whether improvements can be maintained in the longer term, and whether improved fitness results in better function and reduced risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:49 AEDT ]]> Clinical efficacy and safety of the newer antiepileptic drugs as adjunctive treatment in adults with refractory partial-onset epilepsy: a meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19475 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:21 AEDT ]]> Bayes estimation in meta-analysis using a linear model theorem https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21804 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:23 AEDT ]]> Bayesian estimation of a meta-analysis model using Gibbs sampler https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21803 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:22 AEDT ]]> The evidence base for red blood cell transfusions https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17221 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:16 AEDT ]]> The association between dietary patterns and type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20494 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:06 AEDT ]]> Clinical outcomes of double- vs single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review of randomized control trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18956 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:57 AEDT ]]> The effects of psychotherapy on reducing depression in residential aged care: a meta-analytic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19776 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:53 AEDT ]]> Exercise reduces infarct volume and facilitates neurobehavioral recovery: results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of exercise in experimental models of focal ischemia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16853 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:30 AEDT ]]> Macronutrient intakes and development of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21644 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:20 AEDT ]]> Methods for meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies: critical assessment of empirical evidence https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19432 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:57 AEDT ]]> Systematic review and meta-analyses of strategies targeting alcohol problems in emergency departments: interventions reduce alcohol-related injuries https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5226 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:44:19 AEDT ]]> Benchmark dose for cadmium exposure and elevated N-acetyl-β-ᴅ-glucosaminidase: a meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27862 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:11 AEDT ]]> CX3CR1 is dysregulated in blood and brain from schizophrenia patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27390 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:09 AEDT ]]> A systematic review and meta-analysis of written self-administered psychosocial interventions among adults with a physical illness https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30928 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:38 AEDT ]]> Efficacy of psychotropic drugs in functional dyspepsia: systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31037 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:48 AEDT ]]> How should we use information about HWE in the meta-analyses of genetic association studies? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4619 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:53 AEDT ]]> Polymorphisms in platelet glycoprotein 1bα and Factor VII and risk of ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4666 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:19:33 AEDT ]]> A meta-analysis to correlate lead bioavailability and bioaccessibility and predict lead bioavailability https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24816 in vivo measurement is reliable but resource insensitive, in vitro approaches promise to provide high-throughput RBA predictions. One challenge on using in vitro bioaccessibility (BAc) to predict in vivo RBA is how to minimize the heterogeneities associated with in vivo-in vitro correlations (IVIVCs) stemming from various biomarkers (kidney, blood, liver, urinary and femur), in vitro approaches and studies. In this study, 252 paired RBA-BAc data were retrieved from 9 publications, and then a Bayesian hierarchical model was implemented to address these random effects. A generic linear model (RBA (%) = (0.87 ± 0.16) × BAc + (4.70 ± 2.47)) of the IVIVCs was identified. While the differences of the IVIVCs among the in vitro approaches were significant, the differences among biomarkers were relatively small. The established IVIVCs were then applied to predict Pb RBA of which an overall Pb RBA estimation was 0.49 ± 0.25. In particular the RBA in the residential land was the highest (0.58 ± 0.19), followed by house dust (0.46 ± 0.20) and mining/smelting soils (0.45 ± 0.31). This is a new attempt to: firstly, use a meta-analysis to correlate Pb RBA and BAc; and secondly, estimate Pb RBA in relation to soil types.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:13 AEDT ]]> Psychological treatment outcomes for cancer patients: what do meta-analyses tell us about distress reduction? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23768 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:19 AEDT ]]> Physical activity and sleep are inconsistently related in healthy children: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49709 Mon 29 May 2023 13:14:46 AEST ]]> Anti-inflammatory effects of oral supplementation with curcumin: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48674 Mon 27 Mar 2023 14:11:53 AEDT ]]> Prognosis of transient ischaemic attack in modern health care settings - a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32014 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:43:50 AEST ]]> Quality assessment of systematic reviews of vitamin D, cognition and dementia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32851 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:33:59 AEST ]]> Quality use of medicine in Malaysia public health system: the role of pharmacist https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32224 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:16:40 AEST ]]> Efficacy of interventions to alter measures of fat-free mass in people with COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53927 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:48:54 AEDT ]]> The effectiveness of shoe insoles for the prevention and treatment of low back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20555 Mon 18 Mar 2019 12:45:01 AEDT ]]> Technology use to support employment-related outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disability: an updated meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37841 Mon 17 May 2021 13:54:38 AEST ]]> Mapping the features of applied cognitive technology for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37839 Mon 17 May 2021 10:10:37 AEST ]]> Diagnostic performance of clinic and home blood pressure measurements compared with ambulatory blood pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37549 Mon 15 Feb 2021 09:16:20 AEDT ]]> Placebo response in pharmacological trials in patients with functional dyspepsia—A systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50944 Mon 14 Aug 2023 13:47:18 AEST ]]> Volatile compounds in human breath: Critical review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47960 Mon 13 Feb 2023 14:42:01 AEDT ]]> Coronary perforation incidence, outcomes and temporal trends (COPIT): A systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52299 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:19:06 AEDT ]]> The risk of community-acquired enteric infection in proton pump inhibitor therapy: systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35026 Salmonella (pooled OR = 4.84; 95% CI = 2.75-8.54; I²= 58.7%; P = 0.064) and Campylobacter (pooled OR = 5.09; 95% CI = 3-8.64; I²= 81%; P < 0.001) but lower for studies that combined all bacteria (pooled OR = 2.42; 95% CI = 0.96-6.14; I²= 94.3%; P < 0.001).
