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.

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.

Jennifer J. Schneider Chafen,Sydne J Newberry,Marc A. Riedl,Dena M. Bravata,Margaret Maglione,Marika J Suttorp,Vandana Sundaram,Neil M. Paige,Ali Towfigh,Benjamin J. Hulley,Paul G. Shekelle +10 more
TL;DR: The evidence for the prevalence and management of food allergy is greatly limited by a lack of uniformity for criteria for making a diagnosis and a failure to recommend use of immunotherapy.
