Influence of depression on utilization of cardiac rehabilitation postmyocardial infarction: A study of 158 991 Medicare beneficiaries.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between depression diagnosis and participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in a large sample of Medicare beneficiaries with recent myocardial infarction (MI). It concluded that diagnosis of depression in Medicare beneficiaries was strongly associated with attending CR and attending more sessions of CR compared with those without depression. Depression is not a barrier to CR participation after MI in Medicare beneficiaries.

Primary adherence to controller medications for asthma is poor.
The objective of this study was to compare real-world adherence, including both primary and secondary adherence, to the major controller regimens (inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), leukotriene antagonists (LTRAs), or ICS/long-acting b-agonists (ICS/LABAs) in diverse, insured populations. It found that adherence to controller medications is poor and many patients do not ever fill prescriptions for controller medications. However, primary adherence to ICSs was better than to LTRAs and ICS/LABAs.

Identifying configurations of behavior change techniques in effective medication adherence interventions: a qualitative comparative analysis.
The researchers aimed to extend the results from an existing systematic review of interventions to improve medication adherence by using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to identify necessary or sufficient configurations of behavior change techniques among effective interventions. They were able to identify seven configurations of behavior change techniques sufficient for improving adherence, which together accounted for 26 (76 percent) of the effective studies.

Using qualitative comparative analysis in a systematic review of a complex intervention.
The objective of this study was to describe in detail and examine the suitability of using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) within the context of a systematic review. It concluded that QCA was suitable for use within a systematic review of medication adherence interventions and offered insights beyond the single dimension stratifications used in the original completed review.

Stakeholder engagement in a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measure implementation: a report from the SAFTINet Practice-based Research Network (PBRN).
The objective is to demonstrate the use of stakeholder engagement in implementation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. It concluded that stakeholder engagement appeared useful for promoting PRO measure implementation in clinical practice, in a way that met the needs of both researchers and clinical practice stakeholders.

Patients with Crohn's disease are more likely to remain on biologics than immunomodulators: a meta-analysis of treatment durability.
The researchers aimed to clarify treatment durability by assessing subject discontinuations from clinical trials in the context of treatment efficacy. They found that for patients with Crohn’s disease, biologic therapies had higher durability than immunomodulators for induction and maintenance therapy.

Health behavior change counseling in surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. Part I: Improvement in rehabilitation engagement and functional outcomes.
This study examined whether a brief motivational interviewing-based health behavior change counseling (HBCC) intervention increased patient participation in physical therapy and/or home exercise programs (HEPs), reduced disability, and improved health status after surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. It found that HBCC can improve outcomes after spine surgery through improved rehabilitation participation.

Health behavior change counseling in surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. Part II: Patient activation mediates the effects of health behavior change counseling on rehabilitation engagement.
This study sought to determine the effect of health behavior change counseling (HBCC) on patient activation and the influence of patient activation on rehabilitation engagement, and to identify common barriers to engagement among individuals undergoing surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. It found that the influence of HBCC on rehabilitation engagement was mediated by patient activation. Despite improvements in patient activation, one-third of patients reported low rehabilitation engagement.

Patients' and providers' perceptions of asthma and asthma care: a qualitative study.
The primary goal of this qualitative study was to further explore patient and provider perceptions of asthma and asthma care as part of a larger Asthma Comparative Effectiveness Study. Three overarching themes, with a variety of subthemes, emerged as the main findings of this study. The three main themes were Cost/Economic Barriers/Process, Self-Governance/Adherence and Education.
