Developing a research agenda to optimize diagnostic imaging in the emergency department: an executive summary of the 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference.
The 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, "Diagnostic Imaging in the Emergency Department: A Research Agenda to Optimize Utilization" was held on May 12, 2015, with the goal of developing a high-priority research agenda on which to base future research. The authors describe the specific aims of the conference and the methods used to achieve consensus.

Understanding the supports of and challenges to community engagement in the CTSAs.
The researchers sought to understand the supports and challenges experienced by multiple Clinical and Translational Science Awards programs as they pursued community engagement. The interviews identified three support themes, including: funding, existing relationships with communities, and leadership and a partnership approach at the institution. Six challenge themes arose: need for capacity development, lack of positive relationships with communities, lack of leadership, funding constraints, time and staff constraints, and unsustainable models.

An alternative pseudolikelihood method for multivariate random-effects meta-analysis.
This paper describes the standard likelihood inferences for multivariate meta-analysis (MMA) and the proposed pseudolikelihood method. The authors next extend the proposed method to the missing data situation where only a proportion of studies have all outcomes reported. They then conduct simulation studies to compare the proposed method with the current methods and investigate the prevalence of singular covariance matrix problems, bias, coverage probability (CP), and relative efficiency (RE). Finally, they apply the proposed method to three meta-analyses.

Preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015: elaboration and explanation.
The PRISMA-P checklist contains 17 items considered to be essential and minimum components of a systematic review or meta-analysis protocol. This PRISMA-P 2015 Explanation and Elaboration paper provides readers with a full understanding of and evidence about the necessity of each item as well as a model example from an existing published protocol. This paper should be read together with the PRISMA-P 2015 statement.
