Journal ArticleDOI
Using Pedometers to Increase Physical Activity and Improve Health: A Systematic Review
Dena M. Bravata,Crystal Smith-Spangler,Vandana Sundaram,Allison Gienger,Nan Lin,Robyn Lewis,Christopher D Stave,Ingram Olkin,John R. Sirard +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the use of a pedometer is associated with significant increases in physical activity and significant decreases in body mass index and blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary artery bypass surgery compared with percutaneous coronary interventions for multivessel disease: a collaborative analysis of individual patient data from ten randomised trials
Mark A. Hlatky,Derek B. Boothroyd,Dena M. Bravata,Eric Boersma,Jean Booth,Maria M. Brooks,Didier Carrié,Tim Clayton,Nicolas Danchin,Marcus Flather,Christian W. Hamm,Whady Hueb,Jan Kähler,Sheryl F. Kelsey,Spencer B. King,Andrzej S. Kosinski,Neuza Lopes,Kathryn M. McDonald,Alfredo Santana Rodríguez,Patrick W. Serruys,Ulrich Sigwart,Rodney H. Stables,Douglas K Owens,Stuart J. Pocock +23 more
TL;DR: CABG might be a better option for patients with diabetes and patients aged 65 years or older because it is found mortality to be lower in these subgroups, so choice of treatment should depend on patient preferences for other outcomes.
Closing the Quality Gap: A Critical Analysis of Quality Improvement Strategies (Vol. 7: Care Coordination)
Kathryn M. McDonald,Vandana Sundaram,Dena M. Bravata,Robyn Lewis,Nan Lin,Sally A Kraft,Moira C McKinnon,Helen Paguntalan,Douglas K Owens +8 more
TL;DR: A working definition of care coordination is developed, applied to a review of systematic reviews, and theoretical frameworks that might predict or explain how care coordination mechanisms are influenced by factors in the health care setting and how they relate to patient outcomes and health care costs are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and Safety of Low-Carbohydrate Diets: A Systematic Review
Dena M. Bravata,Lisa Sanders,Jane Huang,Harlan M. Krumholz,Ingram Olkin,Christopher D. Gardner,Dawn M. Bravata +6 more
TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence to make recommendations for or against the use of low-carbohydrate diets, particularly among participants older than age 50 years, for use longer than 90 days, or for diets of 20 g/d or less of carbohydrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Smith-Spangler,Margaret L. Brandeau,Grace E. Hunter,J. Clay Bavinger,Maren Pearson,Paul J. Eschbach,Vandana Sundaram,Hau Liu,Patricia Schirmer,Christopher D Stave,Ingram Olkin,Dena M. Bravata +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed evidence comparing the health effects of organic and conventional foods and found no significant differences between populations by food type for allergic outcomes (eczema, wheeze, atopic sensitization) or symptomatic Campylobacter infection.
