Interventions to Improve Clinician Implementation of and Patient Adherence to Recommendations on Geriatric Assessment and Management: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundComprehensive Geriatric assessment (CGA) improves the well-being of older adults, but evidence suggests not all recommendations are implemented by clinicians and patients. Currently, there is no review of interventions to improve clinician implementation and older adults' adherence to CGA recommendations. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to identify interventions that have been evaluated to improve clinicians' implementation of and patients' adherence to CGA recommendations.
methodsWe used Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework with the advancements made by Levac et al. We searched OVID MEDLINE, OVID EMBASE, EBSCO CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, and Cochrane Central from inception until November 14, 2024. Two independent reviewers were used for study selection using Covidence. We screened 11,404 titles and abstracts, 111 full texts, and included 16 total manuscripts (describing 6 intervention studies) in the review.
resultsAmong the interventions intended to improve clinician implementation, such as strong recommendations by the geriatrician to primary care and patients, physician implementation of CGA recommendations ranged from 59% to 73.9% and patient adherence to recommendations ranged from 59% to 76%. Recommendations easier to implement, such as medication changes, were more adhered to than recommendations for lifestyle changes. Clinician implementation is likely influenced by concordance with patients, involvement during and/or degree of communication after the CGA. The studies suggest that patient adherence depends on perceived relevance of recommendations and patient-provider relationships.
conclusionThere is a knowledge gap regarding the uptake of CGA recommendations in the context of contemporary healthcare systems. No interventions examined the value of digital technologies in improving implementation/adherence. Future efforts to increase clinician implementation of CGA recommendations and patient adherence to CGA recommendations should be considered in tandem.
