Scoping review of interprofessional practice for children with developmental conditions.

Systematic scoping review to compare cut-off points used to define frailty and its subtypes amongst studies including a frailty index on a 0-1 scale, with a range of deficits across different health domains. To further analyse if studies in community-dwellers, in-patients and those living in aged care utilise the same cut-offs and varying frailty categories.

A scoping review to map the available evidence will be undertaken, informing the revision of the Australian national clinical practice guidelines for the assessment and diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Review question What are the cost and resource implications to be considered when undertaking assessments that can consider FASD as one possible outcome?

A systematic scoping review to identify cut-off points of frailty index used to categorise frailty in oncology populations. To identify reference sources for chosen frailty cut-off points in oncology literature.

A scoping review to map the available evidence will be undertaken, informing the revision of the Australian national clinical practice guidelines for the assessment and diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Review question: What broader factors (i.e., outside of the diagnostic criteria requirements) that could be considered as part of a holistic assessment process when considering fetal alcohol spectrum disorder as one possible outcome? For example, this could include experiences of neglect or trauma, cultural appropriateness, social determinants of health, physical health and wellbeing factors.

Background: Individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) can experience profoundimpairments and long-term adverse outcomes. This systematic review adopts a life span perspectiveproviding an extensive analysis of the available literature. Methods: Studies were identified from PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, CINAHL,ERIC, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and gray literature. Two reviewers independentlyscreened the title and abstract of each reference, and the methodological rigor of the includedstudies was assessed using the Effective Public Health Project assessment tool. Results: Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria, of which the vast majority targeted early tomiddle childhood. Two studies focused on early intervention in the postnatal period, and 6 studiesaimed to improve attention and/or self-regulation in childhood. Three of these provided promising evidenceon improving self-regulatory difficulties for children with FASDs. Nine studies focused onimproving specific areas of dysfunction. Six studies addressed social skills; 3 of these used an adaptationof a well-validated social skills program. Three studies provided promising initial evidence that parentsand caregivers could benefit from support with child behavior and a further 4 studies provided educationand advocacy for parents/caregivers, teachers, or child welfare workers. The final 2 studies wereaimed at supporting parents who were themselves affected by prenatal alcohol exposure. Conclusions: There is growing evidence for interventions that improve outcomes for early to middlechildhood. However, a lack of research exists outside of this developmental period. This lack ofresearch is concerning given the potential positive impact of early intervention, for individuals and,financially, for governments. In addition, the lack of interventions for adolescents and adults furtherhighlights the widening developmental gap and the potential influence of secondary disabilities for thisat-risk population.
