Summary: The AMSSM convened a writing group to address preparticipation evaluation of athletes during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Through reviewing literature and expert consensus, a guidance statement was finalized for returning athletes to training and competition, while not addressing treatment, infection control principles, or public health issues.

Summary: The majority of participants are familiar with the 4th Edition PPE Monograph and use it as a guideline for their MSK screening exam, but only half actually implement the 90 second MSK screening test, with only 42% satisfied with its effectiveness in screening for future injuries. Further research is needed to validate screening exams for the prevention of MSK injury.

Summary: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common knee injury in sports that require side-to-side pivoting movements. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is the preferred procedure to return athletes to play, but there are no validated guidelines for when it is safe to return. A retrospective analysis on ACLR patients found that individual responses varied and the decision on return-to-play should be determined on an individual basis.

Summary: Although exercise has positive impacts on brain health, the relationship between physical activity and academic achievement in adolescents is not significant. Advocacy for physical activity programming for youth should focus on the overall health benefits rather than direct academic achievement gains.

Summary: Work participation is crucial for public health, and unemployment can lead to a decline in individual health. In the Netherlands, people with work disabilities can apply for disability benefits and support for returning to work. Shared decision making (SDM) is recognized as a valuable approach for the reintegration process, but currently, professionals only perform a limited set of SDM steps. Additional knowledge and skills are needed for both professionals and municipalities to fully embrace and implement SDM in supporting return to work.

Summary: This study investigated the differential cost of post-COVID-19 return to play protocols for competitive collegiate athletes. The findings revealed that a tiered-based approach was more economical, and a universal exercise echocardiogram group detected slightly more myocardial abnormalities.

Summary: Overall, the return to play rate was high following both patellar tendon (PT) and quadriceps tendon (QT) repairs. A large percentage of patients were able to return to their pre-operative level of sport with a low risk for re-rupture. Professional athletes also showed high rates of return to play after PT and QT repair.

Summary: Returning to physical activity is a concern for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis after spinal fusion surgery. Previous studies have shown a decrease in flexibility post-surgery and the impact of fusion levels on returning to the same level of play. The safety of returning to activities is generally agreed upon, with rare complications reported. This review explores the function of fusion levels, factors influencing recovery, and safety considerations for returning to play post-spine surgery.

Summary: This study examines inpatients' preferences for participating in medical decision-making and identifies the factors' rankings in terms of importance, as well as whether they vary for different patients. The study utilizes Case 1 best-worst scaling and identifies 13 attributes influencing inpatient medical decision-making participation through literature review and interviews. The findings show that the most important factors are patients' trust in physicians, physicians' professional expertise, and physicians' attitudes. The study highlights the significant heterogeneity in patients' preferences for shared decision-making and suggests the need for further research on improving patient participation.

Summary: The study found that the majority of athletes did not return to play due to fear of reinjury and lack of confidence in performance upon return, with external life factors also influencing their decision. Only a small minority of athletes were unable to return due to residual knee symptoms or reinjury. Pre-operative psychological assessment and intervention may help identify those less likely to return to play, allowing for targeted interventions to improve outcomes.

Summary: This scoping review identified different nominal group technique (NGT) methods used for health surveys, categorizing decision points into stages common to qualitative group methods and those specific to nominal groups. The study recommends researchers carefully consider options for each decision point and document their choices to enhance validity and transparency in their research.

Summary: Causal directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are commonly used to select variables in a regression model for identifying causal effects. However, outcome-based sampling studies present unique challenges that cannot be addressed by the common back-door criterion. This article discusses intuitive graphical approaches to explain the limitations of the back-door criterion in determining population average causal effects in outcome-based sampling studies, and introduces alternative graphical rules. Recent updates to the free online software Dagitty, incorporating these principles, are also described.

Summary: Properly interpreting research results is crucial in evidence-based medicine. Most studies use multiple regression to adjust for variables and report adjusted effects. However, interpreting the estimates from these analyses as population average causal effects can be incorrect if there is an interaction between treatment and other variables with respect to the outcome. Researchers should be cautious when considering excluding interaction terms based on p values.
