We are pleased to present the latest issue of JBI Evidence Synthesis. In this issue we present a series of reviews and protocols with a focus on clinical practice in health care. Three scoping reviews examine intrathecal morphine and patient-controlled analgesia for patients at 24 hours post-op; risk factors linked to hospital readmission for heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction; and fasting times for intubated adults in ICU prior to general anesthesia. In addition, this month's editorial examines the decision by authors to include all studies, irrespective of methodological quality and rigor of conduct, in meta-aggregative syntheses.

A list of issue highlights is included below, and the full list of contents can be found here.
