    Abstract Objective: To assess the impact of post-covid-19 conditions among adults.
    Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of health outcomes in controlled studies.
    Data sources: Two sources were searched from database inception to 20 October 2022: Cochrane covid-19 study register (comprising Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline, Embase, clinicalTrials.gov, World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, medRxiv) and WHO's covid-19 research database.
    Eligibility criteria: Cohort studies recruiting more than 100 participants with a control group and a follow-up of at least 12 weeks were included. Adults who were documented to have SARS-CoV-2 infection based on clinical, imaging, or laboratory criteria were included.
    Data extraction and synthesis: Two independent reviewers extracted data. The main outcomes included quality of life, functionality in daily activities, use of resources, recovery rates (cluster of symptoms), and the incidence of new medical diagnoses. Data were pooled using a random effects model. The risk of bias was assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool for cohort studies.
    Results: We included 63 controlled cohort studies, encompassing more than 96 million participants. Based on five studies, we found a reduction in overall quality of life between individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection versus controls at six to 24 months follow-up, although heterogeneity was very high (mean difference in EQ-5D scale -5.28 (95% confidence interval -7.88 to 2.68; I
    Conclusion: Evidence suggests functional impairment after SARS-CoV-2 infection, in addition to a higher use of resources and a higher incidence of widely varying medical diagnoses. These results should be interpreted with caution, considering the high heterogeneity across studies and study limitations related to outcome measurement and attrition of participants.

    Title translation [Disfunción diafragmática asociada a la ventilación mecánica invasiva en pacientes adultos críticamente enfermos]
    Abstract Invasive mechanical ventilation (VMI) is a life support therapy that is not free of complications, such as ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, which is characterized by atrophy and weakness of the muscle. Interest in this pathology seems to be based on the association found with negative clinical results. The prevalence ranges between 29 and 80%, probably due to the variability between the different diagnostic methods and the time of evaluation. The gold standard continues to be the transdiaphragmatic negative pressure generated by the bilateral stimulation of the phrenic nerves, although due to the lack of practicality, diaphragmatic ultrasound began to be used. Although it has several modalities, not all of them have correlation analysis with the gold standard. Another problem arises when analyzing the independent association between pathology and VMI, since confusing factors are not easy to isolate.

    Abstract La ventilación mecánica invasiva (VMI) es una terapia de soporte vital que no está exenta de complicaciones, como la disfunción diafragmática inducida por la ventilación mecánica, que se caracteriza por atrofia y debilidad de dicho musculo. El interés en esta patología parece estar basado en la asociación encontrada con resultados clínicos negativos. La prevalencia oscila entre 29 y 80%, probablemente debido a la variabilidad entre los diferentes métodos diagnósticos y el momento de la evaluación. El patrón de oro continúa siendo la presión negativa transdiafragmática generada por la estimulación bilateral de los nervios frénicos, aunque por la falta de practicidad, se comenzó a utilizar la ecografía diafragmática. Si bien cuenta con varias modalidades, no todas tienen análisis de correlación con el patrón de oro. Otra problemática surge al momento de analizar la asociación independiente entre la patología y la VMI, ya que los factores confusores no son sencillos de aislar.

    Title translation Ensayos clínicos con análisis secuencial y su interrupción precoz ¿cómo interpretarlos?
    Abstract Sequential analysis of clinical trials allows researchers a continuous monitoring of emerging data and greater security to avoid subjecting the trial participants to a less effective therapy before the inferiority is evident, while controlling the overall error rate. Although it has been widely used since its development, sequential analysis is not problem-free. Among them main issues to be mentioned are the balance between safety and efficacy, overestimation of the effect size of interventions and conditional bias. In this review, we develop different aspects of this methodology and the impact of including early-stopped clinical trials in systematic reviews with meta-analysis.

    Abstract This article is the first in a collaborative methodological series of narrative reviews on biostatistics and clinical epidemiology. This review aims to present rapid reviews, compare them with systematic reviews, and mention how they can be used. Rapid reviews use a methodology like systematic reviews, but through shortcuts applied, they can attain answers in less than six months and with fewer resources. Decision-makers use them in both America and Europe. There is no consensus on which shortcuts have the least impact on the reliability of conclusions, so rapid reviews are heterogeneous. Users of rapid reviews should identify these shortcuts in the methodology and be cautious when interpreting the conclusions, although they generally reach answers concordant with those obtained through a formal systematic review. The principal value of rapid reviews is to respond to health decision-makers needs when the context demands answers in limited time frames.

    Abstract Background: It is recommended that patients actively participate in clinical practice guideline (CPG) development, which allows consideration of their values and preferences and improves adherence to recommendations. The development of CPGs throughout Latin America is variable and diverse, and the inclusion of patients' participation is unknown.
    Objectives: To evaluate the methods of patients' participation in government-sponsored CPGs in Latin America, the type of CPG development and the use of Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methods.
    Design: Cross-sectional study. We included CPGs developed over the last 10 years through a comprehensive hand search in official national government websites and biomedical databases.
    Main outcome measure: The type of patients' participation was coded according to five predefined categories. We also report the proportion of application of GRADE methods.
    Results: We included 408 CPGs from 10 countries: 74% (n=303) were de novo development, 13%(n=55) used an adaptation method and 10%(n=41) used both adaptation and de novo methods. Only 45% (n=185) applied the GRADE approach, ranging from 14% (n=12) of CPGs in Brazil to 89% (n=56) of CPGs in Colombia. Only 23% (n=95) of CPGs included at least one method of patients' participation. Mexico was one of the largest CPG producers (100 CPGs), but none included methods of patients' participation; in turn, in countries with lower production of government-sponsored CPGs, patients' participation was found in almost 88%. Guidelines using the GRADE approach were more likely to use methods of patients' participation. These methods were highly variable: 46% (n=44) incorporated patients in the panel, 81% (n=77) searched for evidence about patients' values and preferences, 43% (n=39) used an external review of the draft recommendations by patients, 38% (n=36) used public comments, and 2% included other methods for stakeholders' participation.
    Conclusion: Only one quarter of government-sponsored CPGs in the Latin American region incorporated a method for patients' participation, which varied considerably across the selected countries. These findings highlight the need to improve CPG development methods to systematically incorporate patients' values and preferences when drafting recommendations.
