Explanation and elaboration of the Standards for UNiversal reporting of patient Decision Aid Evaluations (SUNDAE) guidelines: examples of reporting SUNDAE items from patient decision aid evaluation literature.
This Explanation and Elaboration article expands on the 26 items in the SUNDAE guidelines, providing a rationale for each item, and including examples for how each item has been reported in published papers evaluating patient decision aids. Authors and reviewers may wish to use it broadly to inform structuring of patient decision aid evaluation reports, or use it as a reference to obtain details about how to report individual checklist items.

Standards for UNiversal reporting of patient Decision Aid Evaluation studies: the development of SUNDAE Checklist.
This study sought to develop and reach consensus on reporting guidelines to improve the quality of publications evaluating patient decision aids (PDAs). The study concluded that the SUNDAE (Standards for UNiversal reporting of patient Decision Aid Evaluations) Checklist will help ensure that reports of PDA evaluation studies are understandable, transparent and of high quality.

Patient-centered guidelines for geriatric diabetes care: potential missed opportunities to avoid harm.
Clinicians strive to deliver individualized, patient-centered care. However, these intentions are understudied. This research explored how patient characteristics associated with a high risk-to-benefit ratio with hypoglycemia medications affected decision making by primary care clinicians. The investigators found that primary care clinicians often chose to intensify glycemic control despite individual patient factors that warranted higher glycemic targets based on existing guidelines.

Precision medicine to precision care: managing multimorbidity.
Multimorbidity is the most common condition managed in practice. The authors argue that health-care delivery must be transformed to provide precision care to people with multimorbidity. Accomplishing this transition will require a change in practice, research, and policy from disease-specific to patient-centered models of care delivery.
