“…Female patients are linked with more use of nutraceutical products than male patients in this study. Many studies have also suggested that females have increased the use of CAM compared to males [ 5 , 9 , 11 , 19 – 23 ]. Gender remains statistically significant after multiple logistic regression was conducted to adjust for confounders.…”

Food-drug interphase products, referring to nutraceuticals in this study, are a category of health products containing a combination of food ingredients with active substances for oral consumption. Many of these products are marketed as an alternative to prescription medicine to treat various ailments despite the lack of scientific evidence, influencing patients with chronic diseases to consume nutraceutical products. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with knowledge, attitude, and practice of nutraceutical use among patients with chronic disease attending to the outpatient clinic. This is a cross-sectional study involving patients with chronic disease at the outpatient specialist clinic. Samples were recruited from the outpatient clinic using convenience sampling. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, which was self-constructed and validated. We found that the use of nutraceuticals was prevalent among 17.9% of respondents. More than half (60.9%) of the respondents have poor knowledge of nutraceutical and 53.1% of respondents have a positive attitude towards nutraceutical. Gender and morbidities were the factors associated with the practice of nutraceutical usage. Female patients are more likely to have increased use of nutraceutical than male patients and patients with multiple morbidities have higher odds of using nutraceutical than patients with single morbidities. There is a high number of patients who consume nutraceutical products and public knowledge of nutraceutical needs to be improved further. The government should develop appropriate regulation and monitoring of nutraceutical products.

Types of CAMs used, their frequency and reasons for use varied (see elsewhere for details of CAM products and practitioners used): 77.3% of CAM practitioner users and 57.6% of CAM product users (7.4% missing) used CAM to treat chronic conditions – with 41.3 and 33.1%, respectively, using CAM for the treatment or management of their diabetes or CVD. Half (50.7%) used CAM to prevent illness or improve health and well‐being, 14.4% to treat acute or short term illness and 13.6% for weight loss (respondents were able to choose one or more reasons).…”

“…Although participants all had type 2 diabetes or CVD, we suggest that the concepts, discussion and conclusions are also relevant to the provision of services to people with other chronic health conditions. Elsewhere, the background, rationale and methods for the study are published in detail; so too detailed results of demographic analyses of participants, specific CAMs used, motivators, costs, benefits and barriers of CAM use, and perceptions of living with and seeking treatment for chronic illness …”

Abbreviations: T&CM, traditional and complementary medicine;PICO, patient/population/problem, intervention, comparison, outcome; UK, united kingdom; USA, united states of America; SR, systematic reviews; AMED, allied and complementary medicine database IntroductionThis paper presents a protocol using rapid review methods that will be used to select a limited number of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) interventions and evaluate the available evidence. The results from this review will be used to inform an update of the Australian Guidelines for Managing Diabetes at the end of life (Guidelines). Rapid review methods were chosen to maximise the number of T&CM interventions and different problems that could realistically be reviewed in a timely manner given the resources available to the research team.Rapid review methods are increasingly used as an alternative to systematic reviews (SR) when there are time, resource or other logistical constraints.1-5 Estimated costs of a comprehensive SR exceed USD$100,000 with an average of 1,139 hours to complete. 6For many research teams, pragmatic decisions must be made that may compromise the accepted 'gold standard' systematic review methods used to minimise bias, which in turn impacts the validity and generalisability of the results. As such, a rapid review is not a replacement for a full systematic review and meta-analysis. Notwithstanding methodological constraints, rapid reviews should endeavour to be transparent, systematic and reproducible. 4 Most Rapid Reviews do not publish a protocol.3 However, the recent establishment of a Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group highlights the need to develop methods that minimise bias despite project constraints. Outlining the objectives and methodology a priori will further improve the transparency and quality of the methods used to frame the review questions, help reduce bias arising from the rapid review study design, and enhance the reproducibility of the results. AbstractBackground: Rapid review methods are increasingly used as an alternative to systematic reviews when there is time, resource or other logistical constraints. The Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group recommends further methodological development and publishing protocols to improve the transparency and quality of the review. The authors of this paper were invited to provide timely, expert input for the revision of the 2010 Guidelines for Providing Palliative and End of Life Care for People with Diabetes (Guidelines), Australia, regarding the evidence-based use of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM). The inclusion and consideration of T&CM in guidelines is often ad-hoc and would benefit from more systematic methods. Evidence of efficacy on clinical outcomes is not the only reason to review an intervention. Other reasons relevant to the T&CM context is: interventions that are commonly used by people with diabetes in the palliative care setting, have potentially high costs or risks, or present a conflict in choices between individual and societ...
