- Transdiagnostic Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for patients experiencing anxiety and depression can produce large improvements in symptoms. Comorbid insomnia is common among individuals seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, yet transdiagnostic ICBT rarely targets insomnia and many ICBT patients report that symptoms of insomnia remain after treatment. This trial explored the impact of including a brief intervention for insomnia alongside an existing transdiagnostic ICBT course that included brief weekly therapist assistance. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either the Standard transdiagnostic (n = 75) or a Sleep-Enhanced course (n = 142), which included information on sleep restriction and stimulus control. Intentto-treat analyses using generalized estimating equation (GEE) showed significant, large reductions in all primary outcomes (insomnia: d = 0.96, 95 % CI [0.68, 1.24]; depression: d = 1.04, 95 % CI [0.76, 1.33]; and anxiety: d = 1.23, 95 % CI [0.94, 1.52]) from pre-treatment to post-treatment, with changes maintained at 3-months. Patients assigned to the Sleep-Enhanced course reported larger reductions in insomnia than patients in the Standard transdiagnostic course (Cohen's d = 0.31, 95 % CI [0.034, 0.60]) at post-treatment but no significant betweengroup differences in any of the primary outcomes were found at follow-up. Patient-reported adherence to sleep restriction guidelines (p = .03), but not stimulus control instructions (p = .84) was associated with greater reductions in insomnia symptoms during the course. Overall, patients who received the Sleep-Enhanced course were satisfied with the materials and most patients reported making sleep behaviour changes. The trial results demonstrate that including a brief intervention targeting insomnia can be beneficial for many patients who enroll in ICBT primarily for symptoms related to anxiety and depression.

- Findings We identified 76 RCTs, including 48 trials contributing individual participant data (11 704 participants) and 28 trials with aggregate data (6474 participants). The participants' weighted mean age was 42.0 years and 12 406 (71%) of 17 521 reported were women. There was suggestive evidence that behavioural activation might be beneficial (iMD -1.83 [95% credible interval (CrI) -2.90 to -0.80]) and that relaxation might be harmful (1.20 [95% CrI 0.17 to 2.27]). Baseline severity emerged as the strongest prognostic factor for endpoint depression. Combining human and automated encouragement reduced dropouts from treatment (incremental odds ratio, 0.32 [95% CrI 0.13 to 0.93]). The risk of bias was low for the randomisation process, missing outcome data, or selection of reported results in most of the included studies, uncertain for deviation from intended interventions, and high for measurement of outcomes. There was moderate to high heterogeneity among the studies and their components. 511

- BackgroundDespite experiencing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) more often than men, the proportion of women participating in clinical drug trials is low. Thus, evidence for sex differences in the incidence of ADRs is limited.AimTo determine sex differences in incidence of self-reported ADRs after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Further, to determine whether receiving information about ADRs is associated with sex.MethodsCONCARDPCI is a prospective multicentre cohort study (N=3417) conducted at seven referral PCI centres in two Nordic countries. Clinical data were collected from patients’ medical records. Socio-demographic characteristics were obtained by self-report after PCI. Two questions from the Heart Continuity of Care Questionnaire (HCCQ) were used to determine if information about potential ADRs was received before hospital discharge. De novo created questions were used to determine if patients reported ADRs from prescribed therapy. Questionnaires were distributed two- (T1), six- (T2), and twelve months (T3) after hospital discharge to assess the incidence of self-reported ADRs in a longitudinal perspective. Logistic regression was utilised to scrutinize the aims, reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsPatients were predominantly male (78%), with a mean age of 65 years (SD 11). Female patients were older (68, SD 10). Acute coronary syndrome was the most frequent cause of admission for PCI (62%). At T1, 2656 of the included patients responded to the questions from the HCCQ. Of these, 1019 patients (39%) reported being informed of potential ADRs from prescribed therapy, 1075 patients (42%) reported not having been informed, 511 patients (20%) reported ‘Hard to decide’, and 51 (2%) reported ‘Not applicable’. Patients reporting ‘Hard to decide’ or ‘Not applicable’ were excluded from further analysis. Women were less likely to receive information than men (OR 0.58, CI 0.45 – 0.75, p<0.001). For the total study population, 42%, 49% and 40% reported ADRs at T1-T3 respectively. After adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical variables, the incidence of self-reported ADRs were significantly higher in women compared to men at T1 (OR 1.71, CI 1.36 – 2.15, p<0.001), T2 (OR 1.89, CI 1.49 – 2.38, p<0.001), and T3 (OR 1.79, CI 1.40 – 2.28, p<0.001).ConclusionWomen report significantly more ADRs from prescribed therapy than men after PCI. However, they are less likely to receive information about potential ADRs compared to men. Efforts to improve communication on ADRs and gender equity should be a priority.
