From evidence to impact: Post-exposure prophylaxis with single-dose rifampicin. Read thread 👇 for key points from the #EvidencetoImpact story in celebration of #WorldEBHCDay! 
#Leprosy is a neglected tropical disease present in more than 120 countries, with a greater burden in India and Brazil. Currently, there are over 200,000 cases registered worldwide.
In 2014, the team’s proposal for a systematic review on single-dose rifampicin (SDR) as a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) strategy for leprosy contacts received financial support from the Brazilian Ministry of Health.

Patients in need of blood products are entitled to an adequate supply of safe blood. Belgian Red Cross uses a blood donor eligibility questionnaire, asking for the donor’s health and possible risk behaviour, in order to guarantee safety of both the donor and recipient.
Blood donor selection via the blood donor eligibility questionnaire remains an important part in the safety of blood supply globally.
Read thread 👇 for an outline of an #EvidencetoImpact story from Brazil as we celebrate the inaugural #WorldEBHCDay!
Abuse and disrespect in childbirth care has been deemed a public health issue in Brazil, with many studies documenting the prevalence of discriminatory and hostile attitudes in childbirth care, both in the public and the private sectors.
Only 5.6% of Brazilian women have normal births without inappropriate & invasive (often not informed or consented to) interventions during vaginal birth, eg the unregulated use of oxytocin to induce or augment labour, Kristeller manoeuvre, forceps & episiotomy.
How to choose between a #systematic review or a #scoping review. This is a common question with our network, so for #WorldEBHCday we wanted to break it down in a #tweetorial. #EvidencetoImpact @WorldEBHCDay (1/13)
There are three questions you can ask yourself to assess which review is right for you (here is also a fun way to do this: …srightforyou.knowledgetranslation.net) (2/13)
Question 1: Do you want to use the results of your review to answer a clinically meaningful question? If yes, a #systematic review is likely the right approach. (3/13)

Cochrane First Aid repackages Cochrane evidence into easy-to-use formats such as blogshots (a simple one-page summary) and disseminating them via social media.
This is because 'Health information should not be restricted to healthcare professionals, but needs to be accessible and comprehensible in languages that people understand' - Cochrane Translator.
Read thread👇for key points from an #EvidencetoImpact story from Tabriz for #WorldEBHCDay, ‘Promoting informed consent in a children’s hospital’
Informed consent is considered a continuous & dynamic process, and it becomes complex in paediatric clinical practice, where parents must make decisions for their children.
The aim of the evidence implementation project was to evaluate current practice and implement best practice related to promoting informed consent in nursing and medical procedures, as well as surgical consent in the paediatric hospital.

In 2018 Dr Carrier of @cardiffuni & Dr Mukwato of Uni of Zambia secured Global Challenges Research Funding from Cardiff University to undertake a project to improve evidence-based critical nursing care in Zambia through co-design & quality improvement using the PDSA model’.
The aim of the study was to promote sustainable health and well-being of critically ill patients admitted to an acute care ward in the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Zambia, through implementation of small #EBN care interventions, known as ‘hacks’.
Read thread👇for an outline of #EvidencetoImpact story, ‘Reducing maternal & neonatal deaths by improving quality of care during labour’, by @valerynji90 as we begin our 7-day countdown to #WorldEBHCDay on 20 October!
According to the @WHO, almost all maternal deaths during pregnancy, delivery or within 42 days of childbirth occur in low-resource settings, and most could have been prevented.
Cameroon is one of the countries with the highest maternal and neonatal mortality rates. Dr Valery Nji implemented evidence-based strategies to improve the quality of care during labour in order to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Read thread👇about the implementation of an evidence-based project on embedding pre-treatment assessment for patients with #BreastCancer undergoing chemotherapy into hospital policy #EvidenceToImpact #WorldEBHCDay
Chemotherapy drugs can result in side effects such as renal toxicity which is why evidence-based guidelines state that comprehensive health assessments should be conducted prior to administration of chemotherapy.
Yanni Wu is an advanced research nurse at Nanfang Hospital. She conducted a clinical audit of pre-treatment assessment for patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy which indicated significant deficits in pre-treatment assessment nursing practice at Nanfang Hospital.

Impact story by Neil Guha
Impact story by Neil Guha
Deaths from #LiverDisease in the UK continue to rise. In the majority of patients, liver disease is preventable and caused by lifestyle-related risk factors such as excessive alcohol use, type 2 #diabetes and #obesity.
In the UK, 50% of patients are first diagnosed with liver disease following an emergency admission to hospital with complications from liver failure. These patients have a reduced quality of life, a short life expectancy and expensive associated healthcare costs.

In the National Health Service (NHS) in England, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) decide what services are required for diverse populations and ensure their provision.
Hannah Syed is a medicines management adviser for Eastbourne, Hailsham & Seaford CCG, and Hastings & Rother CCGs. She observed that prescribing levels for diabetes, in particular, GLP-1 mimetics, were much higher than the national average in both these CCGs.

In 2016 the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group (TAG) began an in-depth prioritisation project based on the @JamesLindAlliance framework to ensure that its efforts are aligned with stakeholder information needs.
TAG wanted to ensure that the voices of researchers, commissioners, funders and policymakers were heard, as well as those of healthcare providers and users.
