Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduction or elimination of inappropriate, ineffective, or potentially harmful healthcare services and public health programs can help to ensure limited resources are used effectively. Frameworks and models (FM) are valuable tools in conceptualizing and guiding the study of de-implementation. This scoping review sought to identify and characterize FM that can be used to study de-implementation as a phenomenon and identify gaps in the literature to inform future model development and application for research. METHODS We searched nine databases and eleven journals from a broad array of disciplines (e.g., healthcare, public health, public policy) for de-implementation studies published between 1990 and June 2020. Two raters independently screened titles and abstracts, and then a pair of raters screened all full text records. We extracted information related to setting, discipline, study design, methodology, and FM characteristics from included studies. RESULTS The final search yielded 1860 records, from which we screened 126 full text records. We extracted data from 27 articles containing 27 unique FM. Most FM (n = 21) were applicable to two or more levels of the Socio-Ecological Framework, and most commonly assessed constructs were at the organization level (n = 18). Most FM (n = 18) depicted a linear relationship between constructs, few depicted a more complex structure, such as a nested or cyclical relationship. Thirteen studies applied FM in empirical investigations of de-implementation, while 14 articles were commentary or review papers that included FM. CONCLUSION De-implementation is a process studied in a broad array of disciplines, yet implementation science has thus far been limited in the integration of learnings from other fields. This review offers an overview of visual representations of FM that implementation researchers and practitioners can use to inform their work. Additional work is needed to test and refine existing FM and to determine the extent to which FM developed in one setting or for a particular topic can be applied to other contexts. Given the extensive availability of FM in implementation science, we suggest researchers build from existing FM rather than recreating novel FM. REGISTRATION Not registered.

Aripiprazole in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder: a critical review of the evidence and its dissemination into the scientific literature. PLoS Med 2011; 8:e1000434. [PMID: 21559324 PMCID: PMC3086871 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1000434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2010] [Accepted: 03/23/2011] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aripiprazole, a second-generation antipsychotic medication, has been increasingly used in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder and received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this indication in 2005. Given its widespread use, we sought to critically review the evidence supporting the use of aripiprazole in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder and examine how that evidence has been disseminated in the scientific literature. METHODS AND FINDINGS We systematically searched multiple databases to identify double-blind, randomized controlled trials of aripiprazole for the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder while excluding other types of studies, such as open-label, acute, and adjunctive studies. We then used a citation search to identify articles that cited these trials and rated the quality of their citations. Our evidence search protocol identified only two publications, both describing the results of a single trial conducted by Keck et al., which met criteria for inclusion in this review. We describe four issues that limit the interpretation of that trial as supporting the use of aripiprazole for bipolar maintenance: (1) insufficient duration to demonstrate maintenance efficacy; (2) limited generalizability due to its enriched sample; (3) possible conflation of iatrogenic adverse effects of abrupt medication discontinuation with beneficial effects of treatment; and (4) a low overall completion rate. Our citation search protocol yielded 80 publications that cited the Keck et al. trial in discussing the use of aripiprazole for bipolar maintenance. Of these, only 24 (30%) mentioned adverse events reported and four (5%) mentioned study limitations. CONCLUSIONS A single trial by Keck et al. represents the entirety of the literature on the use of aripiprazole for the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Although careful review identifies four critical limitations to the trial's interpretation and overall utility, the trial has been uncritically cited in the subsequent scientific literature.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) represents a condition characterized by reduced GH secretion, isolated or associated with other pituitary hormone deficiencies. Diagnosis of GHD in childhood is achieved by secretagogs testing in combination with auxological parameters, such as height and growth velocity and biochemical and radiological findings. Only after excluding other causes of growth failure should a careful assessment of the pituitary-IGF-1 axis be undertaken, using GH-provocative tests and basal serum IGF-I values. As recommended by the GH Research Society, patients with GHD should be treated with recombinant human GH in order to normalize height during childhood and, ultimately, attain a normal adult height.

Abstract
Recombinant human growth hormone has revolutionized the management of children and adolescents with growth hormone deficiency and other growth disorders, but clinical and ethical controversies remain regarding diagnostic approach, optimal recombinant human growth hormone dose and duration, and expected outcomes. Management of pubertal and transitioning patients with growth hormone deficiency has also commanded increased attention. Recent clinical studies that demonstrate the positive health benefits of recombinant human growth hormone in children with cystic fibrosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis have not yet clarified issues about patient selection and appropriate long-term use. An understanding of current recombinant human growth hormone indications and controversies can facilitate patient evaluation and expedite referral for potential treatment. This review summarizes current indications for recombinant human growth hormone use, discusses clinical challenges, and provides recommendations for pediatricians caring for children who may be appropriate candidates for recombinant human growth hormone therapy.
