Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An estimated 8.2 percent of the United States population has asthma including 9.6 percent of children and 7.7 percent of adults. In 2010, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality commissioned the Oregon Evidence-based Practice Center to conduct a comparative effectiveness review (CER)…on the effectiveness of breathing exercises and/or retraining in the treatment of asthma. Alternative and complementary treatment methods such as breathing retraining techniques have been advocated for the control of asthma given the range of asthma severity and concerns about long-term medication use. Specific breathing retraining approaches include those related to hyperventilation reduction (e.g., the Buteyko and Papworth methods) or nonhyperventilation-targeted methods (e.g., yoga breathing techniques, other physical therapy methods, biofeedback, and inspiratory muscle training [IMT]). These methods are assumed to be adjunctive to guideline-based care, with the primary goals of improving asthma control and reducing the use of medication. 1. Does the use of breathing exercises and/or retraining techniques improve health outcomes, including: symptoms (e.g., cough, wheezing, dyspnea); health-related quality of life (general and/or asthma-specific); acute asthma exacerbations; reduced use of quick-relief medications or reduced use of long-term control medications, when compared with usual care and/or other breathing techniques alone or in combination with other intervention strategies? In this review, we addressed the following Key Questions: 2. Does the use of breathing exercises and/or retraining techniques improve pulmonary function or other similar intermediate outcomes when compared with usual care and/or other breathing techniques alone or in combination with other intervention strategies? 3. What is the nature and frequency of serious adverse effects of treatment with breathing exercises and/or retraining techniques, including increased frequency of acute asthma exacerbations? Our review sought to include studies that addressed the use of breathing techniques in adults and children 5 years of age and older with asthma and explored whether the effectiveness differed between different population subgroups (e.g., males/females; various types and severities of asthma; and/or different coexisting conditions). Additionally, we evaluated whether the effectiveness of these interventions varied by differences in intervention implementation or components. The review identified 22 studies published between 1990 and December 2011 that examined the effectiveness or comparative effectiveness of breathing techniques on intermediate and/or health outcomes. In general, the evidence was low-to-moderate or insufficient to address the Key Questions adequately as it was based primarily on small, methodologically limited trials of heterogeneous populations with short followup and inconsistent outcome reporting. The objective of this Future Research Needs project was to engage a diverse set of stakeholders to confirm, provide more detail, and prioritize the research needs that we identified in the CER. We also sought to provide information on ongoing studies of relevance to the prioritized list of research questions and study design considerations for the highly prioritized questions.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An estimated 1.8 million men living in the United States have a diagnosis of prostate cancer, with about 218,890 newly diagnosed men each year. Approximately 90 percent of men with prostate cancer have disease considered confined to the prostate gland (i.e., clinically localized disease). If… left untreated, frequently men die with, rather than from, prostate cancer. Largely because of widespread prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, the lifetime risk of prostate cancer diagnosis in the United States has nearly doubled to 20 percent, while the risk of dying of prostate cancer has remained at approximately 3 percent. Therefore, considerable over detection and treatment may exist. Moreover, the treatment of localized prostate cancer is associated with substantial adverse effects. The primary goal of treatment is to target those men most likely to need intervention to prevent prostate cancer death and disability, while minimizing intervention-related complications. Common treatments include watchful waiting (active surveillance), surgery to remove the prostate gland (i.e., radical prostatectomy), radiotherapy (e.g., external-beam radiation or brachytherapy), freezing the prostate (i.e., cryotherapy), and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). All treatments for prostate cancer have risks of complications, although their frequency and severity may vary. Common adverse events include urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction. The vast majority of prostate cancers currently detected in the United States are asymptomatic, clinically localized, and found on routine PSA testing. PSA testing detects more tumors, at an earlier stage, with a smaller volume within each stage, and at an earlier period in a man's life than nonscreen-detected tumors. The clinical significance, natural history, and comparative effectiveness of treatments in PSA-detected cancers are not known but likely differ from those detected and treated in the pre-PSA era (before the late 1980s to early 1990s). The objective of this project is to pilot an approach for developing future research priorities and suggesting specific projects to address evidence gaps. From the results of this and comparable pilot projects conducted by other Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs), AHRQ will identify generalizable strategies and lessons learned. The topic of this pilot project, the comparative effectiveness of treatments for localized prostate cancer, was selected because of its importance. The Minnesota EPC completed a comparative effectiveness review (CER) on this topic in 2008 for AHRQ. This pilot project amends the list of recommendations from that report and creates prioritized lists of research gaps and proposed research studies. Subsequently, management strategies for local prostate cancer were in the first quartile of the Institute of Medicine's 100 initial priority topics for comparative effectiveness research: Compare the effectiveness of management strategies for localized prostate cancer (e.g., active surveillance, radical prostatectomy [conventional, robotic, and laparoscopic], and radiotherapy [conformal, brachytherapy, proton beam, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy]) on survival, recurrence, side effects, quality of life, and costs.
