Abstract
BACKGROUND Rare diseases present a challenge to guideline implementation due to a low prevalence in the general population and the unfamiliarity of healthcare professionals. Existing literature in more common diseases references barriers and facilitators to guideline implementation. This systematic review aims to identify these barriers and facilitators in rare diseases from existing literature. METHODS A multi-stage strategy included searching MEDLINE PubMed, EMBASE Ovid, Web of Science and Cochrane library from the earliest date available to April 2021, Orphanet journal hand-search, a pearl-growing strategy from a primary source and reference/citation search was performed. The Integrated Checklist of Determinants of Practice which comprises of twelve checklists and taxonomies, informed by 57 potential determinants was selected as a screening tool to identify determinants that warrant further in-depth investigation to inform design of future implementation strategies. RESULTS Forty-four studies were included, most of which were conducted in the United States (54.5%). There were 168 barriers across 36 determinants (37 studies) and 52 facilitators across 22 determinants (22 studies). Fifteen diseases were included across eight WHO ICD-11 disease categories. Together individual health professional factors and guideline factors formed the majority of the reported determinants (59.5% of barriers and 53.8% of facilitators). Overall, the three most reported individual barriers were the awareness/familiarity with the recommendation, domain knowledge and feasibility. The three most reported individual facilitators were awareness/familiarity with the recommendation, agreement with the recommendation and ability to readily access the guidelines. Resource barriers to implementation included technology costs, ancillary staff costs and more cost-effective alternatives. There was a paucity of studies reporting influential people, patient advocacy groups or opinion leaders, or organisational factors influencing implementation. CONCLUSIONS Key barriers and facilitators to the implementation of clinical practice guidelines in the setting of rare diseases were at the individual health professional and guideline level. Influential people and organisational factors were relatively under-reported and warrant exploration, as does increasing the ability to access the guidelines as a potential intervention.

Khakpai F, Rezaei N, Issazadeh Y, Zarrindast MR. Modulation of social and depression behaviors in cholestatic and drug-dependent mice: possible role of opioid receptors. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2023; 22:275-285. [PMID: 37255824 PMCID: PMC10225439 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-022-01129-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Objectives Social behavior, a set of motivating activities critical for survival, is disturbed in cholestasis conditions and many substance abusers as well as psychiatric disorders. The documented loss of social interest in cholestatic patients may be associated with depressive symptoms. Interestingly, the endogenous opioid system is involved in the modulation of depression. Methods in this research , we assessed the effect of cholestasis and drug dependence on social and depression behaviors using the Three-Chamber Paradigm Test, Forced Swim Test (FST), and Tail Suspension Test (TST) as well as Open Field Test (OFT) in male NMRI mice. Results The results indicated that alone administration of morphine and tramadol, as well as co-administration of them, increased social motivation and novelty but decreased depression in bile duct ligated mice. Whereas, alone administration of naloxone (a µ-opioid receptor antagonist) and co-administration of it along with morphine and tramadol decreased social motivation and novelty while enhanced depression in the sham-operated and bile duct ligated mice. These administrations of drugs did not change locomotor activity compared to the control group. Conclusion In conclusion, it appears that (i) both cholestasis and drug dependence impaired social motivation behavior, as well as induced depression-like behavior in the bile duct, ligated mice, (ii) alone administration of morphine and tramadol as well as co-treatment of them may protect against cholestasis and drug dependence induced abnormal behaviors, (iii) µ-opioid receptors play an important role in modulation of social motivation and depression behaviors in mice.

Widespread gaps in the quality of care for primary biliary cholangitis in UK. Frontline Gastroenterol 2021; 13:32-38. [PMID: 34966531 PMCID: PMC8666861 DOI: 10.1136/flgastro-2020-101713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a progressive, autoimmune, cholestatic liver disease affecting approximately 15 000 individuals in the UK. Updated guidelines for the management of PBC were published by The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) in 2017. We report on the first national, pilot audit that assesses the quality of care and adherence to guidelines. DESIGN Data were collected from 11 National Health Service hospitals in England, Wales and Scotland between 2017 and 2020. Data on patient demographics, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) dosing and key guideline recommendations were captured from medical records. Results from each hospital were evaluated for target achievement and underwent χ2 analysis for variation in performance between trusts. RESULTS 790 patients' medical records were reviewed. The data demonstrated that the majority of hospitals did not meet all of the recommended EASL standards. Standards with the lowest likelihood of being met were identified as optimal UDCA dosing, assessment of bone density and assessment of clinical symptoms (pruritus and fatigue). Significant variations in meeting these three standards were observed across UK, in addition to assessment of biochemical response to UDCA (all p<0.0001) and assessment of transplant eligibility in high-risk patients (p=0.0297). CONCLUSION Our findings identify a broad-based deficiency in 'real-world' PBC care, suggesting the need for an intervention to improve guideline adherence, ultimately improving patient outcomes. We developed the PBC Review tool and recommend its incorporation into clinical practice. As the first audit of its kind, it will be used to inform a future wide-scale reaudit.
