To investigate the preventive effect of different dressings on pressure injuries related to non‐invasive ventilation equipment and to screen the efficacy of dressings. Systematic review and network meta‐analysis. PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) and Weipu Database (VIP) were used for the search from the date of inception of each database to 15 October 2023. The quality of the data was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Stata 16.0 Software was used to analysis and ranking of different types of dressings. A total of 23 randomized controlled trials on 7 interventions were included in the final analysis. The effectiveness of these in preventing the overall incidence of pressure injuries is ranked from best to worst as follows: hydrogel dressing > foam dressing > petroleum jelly gauze dressing > hydrocolloid dressing > film dressing > clean gauze dressing > sterile gauze. Sixteen studies reported the incidence of Stage I pressure injuries, the effectiveness in preventing the incidence of Stage I pressure injuries was ranked from best to least effective: foam dressing > hydrogel dressing > petroleum jelly gauze dressing > hydrocolloid dressing > film dressing > clean gauze dressing > sterile gauze dressing. Fourteen studies reported the incidence of Stages I/II pressure injuries, the effective in preventing the incidence of Stages I and II pressure injuries was ranked from best to least effective: foam dressing > hydrogel dressing > petroleum jelly gauze dressing > hydrocolloid dressing > clean gauze dressing > sterile gauze dressing. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of different dressings, both hydrogel and foam dressings are effective in preventing pressure injuries related to non‐invasive ventilation equipment.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered a common surgical option in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for patients after TKA. PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to 20 August 2021. Included studies were evaluated with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Six RCTs were included. Our study results demonstrated that a significant reduction in pain catastrophing was seen in patients receiving CBT at post-intervention (SMD −0.48, 95% CI = −0.72 to −0.23, I2 17.2%, p = 0.00) but not in 3-month or 12-month follow-up. There were no significant differences between CBT and usual-care patients regarding pain intensity or knee function at different time-points. This is the first time that meta-analysis has been conducted to determine the effectiveness of CBT for patients after TKA. It is necessary to conduct longer follow-ups, include larger samples and conduct rigorous RCTs to further explore this issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• This study provides the latest evidence on the level of life space mobility of community elderly people. • The life space mobility of community elderly people is at a moderate level globally, with 42% of them living in a state of restricted life space. • The level of life space mobility among community elderly people gradually achieved stability after 2017. • South America, females and earlier survey years have a lower level of LSM. Multiple countries have conducted surveys on the level of life space mobility for community-dwelling elderly through the Life-Space Assessment, the results vary greatly, from 41.7 to 88.6. However, there is no meta-analysis on the current situation of community-dwelling elderly life space mobility. To systematically assess the global level of life space mobility for community-dwelling elderly, to identify potential covariates such as geographical regions, survey years, gender, and age that contribute to the heterogeneity between the studies, and to identify the dynamic trend based on survey years. Systematic review and meta-analysis. Two reviewers searched the following 8 electronic bibliographic databases from inception until May 28, 2023: PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Database, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, WanFang, and Weipu Database. This review was conducted using the Stata 14.1 and R 4.3.1. The Cochrane's Q statistical and I2 index were used to test for heterogenicity and assess the degree of heterogenicity, respectively. Studies were appraised using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality tool, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for the quality of cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, respectively. A total of 29 studies were selected from databases and reference lists. The pooled score of Life-Space Assessment was 66.84 (95% CI: 63.30–70.39) and the prevalence of restricted life space was 42% (95% CI: 0.27–0.57). The geographical regions, survey years, gender were found to be a significant covariate of the pooled score of life space mobility estimate in the subgroup analysis. The mean score of Life-Space Assessment gradually achieved stability after 2017. The life space mobility of community-dwelling elderly in the global is at a moderate level, with 42% of them experiencing restricted life space. South America, females and earlier survey years have a lower level of life space mobility. In the future, the government should identify vulnerable groups for targeted intervention to promote the level of LSM in the community-dwelling elderly. PROSPERO [CRD42023443054].
