    Test Performance Of Self-Report Adherence Tools In Patients With Hypertension: A Systematic Review And A Meta-Analysis
    (2022) Al-Alaili, Mohammed Khaled; Abdi, Abdikarim Mohamed; Basgut, Bilgen; 000888656300001
    What Is Known and ObjectivesAdherence has proved to have a positive influence on achieving plausible treatment outcomes. Self-report questionnaires are widely used in evaluating adherence, creating thus a high-powered research field. This review aims to provide an update of scales used in hypertension, which are compared and analysed against reliability and validity. MethodsPubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched in May 2022 to identify studies. We extracted the study characteristics and evaluated their quality. A random-effects model with subgroup analysis was used to calculate estimates and heterogeneity parameters as well as regressions, funnel and forest plots. A bivariate model was selected to conduct validity analyses and draw receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results and DiscussionFifty-five articles were identified and classified into 22 different reliable and validated tools. Pooled analyses predicted an overall good Cronbach's alpha of 0.76 (95%CI:0.67-0.83), a good ICC of 0.8 (95%CI:0.72-0.86) and an excellent correlation coefficient of 0.91 (95%CI:0.86-0.95), which all showed high heterogeneity and slight detection of asymmetry. Regression analyses showed that only time and the number of items/scale type influenced significantly retest and alpha, respectively. Overall validity showed acceptable sensitivity of 0.65 (95%CI:0.53-0.75) and specificity of 0.57 (95%CI:0.47-0.67) with a good Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.637. Upon comparison, four tools showed superiority over Morisky's scale. What Is New and ConclusionAdherence is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, which deems scales to be highly variable or complex; thus, complicating the selection process. Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) is the most promising free non-inferior alternative to Morisky, the most used scale.

    The year 2020 in the European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging: part II
    (2021) Cosyns, Bernard; Sade, Leyla Elif; Gerber, Bernhard L.; Gimelli, Alessia; Muraru, Denisa; Maurer, Gerald; Edvardsen, Thor; 34718480
    The European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging was launched in 2012 and has during these years become one of the leading multimodality cardiovascular imaging journal. The journal is now established as one of the top cardiovascular journals and is the most important cardiovascular imaging journal in Europe. The most important studies published in our Journal from 2020 will be highlighted in two reports. Part II will focus on valvular heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and congenital heart disease. While Part I of the review has focused on studies about myocardial function and risk prediction, myocardial ischaemia, and emerging techniques in cardiovascular imaging.
