Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

Systematic review

 Written in English

Reported an intervention to reduce low-value care that solely targeted clinicians

 Described an intervention that engaged patients in their aim to reduce the use of low-value care*

Low-value practice of interest was not a medical test or treatment (e.g., bed rest, use of physical restraints)

 Used experimental (e.g., randomized clinical trial) or quasi-experimental (e.g., controlled before-and-after study) study designs

 

 Reported the use of low-value care with or without the intervention

 

Meta-analysis

 

 Measured the use of low-value care as the proportion of patients that received the low-value practice with and without exposure to the de-implementation intervention

 
  1. *Low-value care was defined as a clinical intervention that lacks efficacy, has risks that outweigh benefits, or is not cost-effective [1]
