This study adds to the wealth of existing literature by utilising repeated smoking measures collected in a UK sample of young adults to (a) examine differences between longitudinal smoking behaviours, (b) investigate their association with many risk factors, and c) consider how these associations may change over time. Methods This study uses longitudinal latent class analysis and 12 repeated measures to derive patterns of smoking in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. The association of these patterns with 402 risk factor measures collected from 0-28 years is then investigated. The selected risk factors include familial and peer factors, lifestyle and sociodemographic factors, mental health, parenthood, adverse childhood experiences and trauma. Results Five different latent classes of smoking were derived and referred to as non-smoking, short-term smoking, occasional smoking, early-onset smoking, and late-onset smoking. These showed differences in age of onset, frequency, and cessation. Other substance use, and parental and peer substance use, showed the strongest association with smoking patterns. More risk factors were associated with early-onset than late-onset smoking. Many risk factors of regular smoking did not show the same associations with occasional smoking. Fewer measures differentiated late-onset from short-term smoking. Some associations varied depending on the time of measurement or smoking pattern in question. Conclusions Findings from this study may be used to identify groups of people most vulnerable to more harmful smoking patterns despite being exposed to strong tobacco prevention efforts. This could also help better tailor smoking interventions and improve tobacco control policies.","PeriodicalId":506788,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141265313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its long-term stability is important for clinical care, especially longitudinal studies, but is currently unknown. Purpose: This study sets out to comprehensively analyze the long-term stability of a first-generation clinical PCCT scanner. Materials and Methods: Over a two-year period, from November 2021 to November 2023, we conducted weekly identical experiments utilizing the same multi-energy CT protocol. These experiments included various tissue-mimicking inserts to rigorously assess the stability of Hounsfield Units (HU) and image noise in Virtual Monochromatic Images (VMIs) and iodine density maps. Throughout this period, notable software and hardware modifications were meticulously recorded. Each week, VMIs and iodine density maps were reconstructed and analyzed to evaluate quantitative stability over time. Results: Spectral results consistently demonstrated the quantitative stability of PCCT. VMIs exhibited stable HU values, such as variation in relative error for VMI 70 keV measuring 0.11% and 0.30% for single-source and dual-source modes, respectively. Similarly, noise levels remained stable with slight fluctuations linked to software changes for VMI 40 and 70 keV that corresponded to changes of 8 and 1 HU, respectively. Furthermore, iodine density quantification maintained stability and showed significant improvement with software and hardware changes, especially in dual-source mode with nominal errors decreasing from 1.44 to 0.03 mg/mL. Conclusion: This study provides the first long-term reproducibility assessment of quantitative PCCT imaging, highlighting its potential for the clinical arena. This study indicates its long-term utility in diagnostic radiology, especially for longitudinal studies.","PeriodicalId":506788,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141265298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the association between hospital EVT volume and clinical outcomes using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016-2020. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of the NIS examining the relationship of hospital EVT volume and outcomes was performed. All relevant clinical and demographic information was collected. The outcomes were favorable functional outcome (home without assistance), inpatient mortality, and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Centers were classified as high-volume if they were in the top quintile of annual EVT volume. We performed univariate, multivariate, nearest neighbor matched analysis, and an exploratory annual case volume cutoff analysis. Results: There were 114,640 patients who underwent EVT included in the sample. Of these, 24,415 (21.3%) were in the high-volume group. High-volume centers had higher rates of favorable functional outcome in univariate (OR 1.20, p < 0.001), multivariate (aOR 1.19, p = 0.003), and matched analysis (OR 1.14, p = 0.028). Prior to matching, lower rates of inpatient mortality (OR 0.83, p < 0.001). However, in univariate and matched analysis there were no differences between high and low-volume centers. There were no differences in ICH across all analyses. Functional benefit was first noted at [≥] 50 EVTs, but centers performing [≥] 175 EVTs had substantially higher functional benefit (aOR 1.42, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrates increased hospital case volume is associated with a modest improvement in favorable functional outcomes in patients undergoing EVT for AIS. Attempts to identify procedural cut off values reveal likely improved functional outcomes beginning at 50 EVT per year, while this benefit seems to increase with increasing case volumes. These higher levels of case volumes do not lead to higher rates of inpatient mortality or ICH. ?","PeriodicalId":506788,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141265643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discriminating between pathological and physiological ripples is important for identifying the epileptogenic (EP) zone; however, distinguishing them from waveforms is difficult. This study hypothesized that the nocturnal synchronization of hippocampal ripples and cortical delta power classifies EP and physiological hippocampi. Methods: We enrolled 38 patients with electrodes implanted in the hippocampus or the parahippocampal gyrus between April 2014 and March 2023 at our institution. We classified 11 patients (11 hippocampi) into the EP group, who were pathologically diagnosed with hippocampal sclerosis, and five patients (six hippocampi) into the non-epileptogenic (NE) group, whose hippocampi had no epileptogenicity. Hippocampal ripples were detected using intracranial electroencephalography of the hippocampal or parahippocampal electrodes and presented as ripple rates per second. Cortical delta power (0.5-4 Hz) was assessed using cortical electrodes. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the ripple rates and the cortical delta power (CRD) was calculated for the intracranial electroencephalographic signals obtained every night during the recordings. Results: Hippocampal ripples detected from continuous recording for approximately 10 days demonstrated similar frequency characteristics between the EP and NE groups. However, CRDs in the EP group (mean [standard deviation]: 0.20 [0.049]) were significantly lower than those in the NE group (0.67 [0.070], F (1,124) = 29.6, p < 0.0001 (group), F (9,124) = 1.0, p = 0.43 (day); two-way analysis of variance).

While this interaction is well studied, what combinations of MetS factors pose the greatest risk for HF are not well defined. We hypothesize that some components of MetS are of higher risk of HF compared to others. We explored the relationship between the independent components of MetS and their combinatory effect on the risk of HF. All metabolic syndrome components except hypertriglyceridemia were significant individually (P-value<0.001), while hypertension (HTN) and diabetes or insulin resistance (IR) had the higher risk of developing heart failure when taken collectively. The odds of heart failure among the individuals who had HTN and IR was 7.7 times those who didn't have any MetS components. We observed the additive effect of number of metabolic components on HF, for the individuals who had only one MetS symptom, the odds of HF was 5.4 time compared to those who didn't have any of MetS symptoms. Similarly, these odds of HF were 6.4 and 7.4 times for those who had at least 2 or at least 3 symptoms respectively.

This study aims to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients hospitalized at one of the six hospitals in southeast-Ethiopia, considering recovery as a competing risk. Methods: This observational multisite study included a medical record of 827 confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases hospitalized at one of the six hospitals in southeast-Ethiopia from October 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023. We compiled data on the patients' socio-demographic characteristics, clinical manifestation, comorbidity, treatment status, treatment outcomes, and length of stay. We performed a Cox regression analysis for competing risks, presenting cause-specific hazard ratios (HRcs) for the effect of preselected factors on the absolute risk of death and recovery. Results: 827 patients were included (51.9% male; median age 50 years, IQR: 38-65). Patients were hospitalized for a median duration of 5 days (IQR: 1-7); 139 (17%) of them died, while 516 (62%) were recovered and discharged alive, the rest 172 (21%) were censored. Patients with higher age (HRcs 2.62, 95% CI 1.29-5.29), immune-compromised state (HRcs 1.46, 95% CI 1.08-1.98) had increased risk of death, whereas male sex paradoxically (HRcs 0.45, 95% CI 0.22-0.91) associated with decreased risk of death. We found no increased mortality risk in diabetes patients. Conclusion: This competing risk survival analysis allows us to corroborate specific pattern of risk factors about COVID-19 mortality and its progression among different groups of individuals (differentiated by age and immune-compromised state). 62% presenting cases recovered within a median duration of 5 days; where as 17% die within the first 72 hours, most with immune-compromised conditions.

Objectives To explore healthcare providers knowledge and use of psychological and social screening and interventions in the management of patients with tendinopathy Methods An online survey was developed by a group of tendon experts. The survey was disseminated via special interest groups, social networks and professional organisations internationally. Results The survey had 103 completed responses. The majority of respondents used the subjective, 53% (N=55), subjective and objective, 28%(n=29), or objective 6% (n=6) examination to screen for psychological factors using both verbal and nonverbal methods. Psychosocial factors were screened for during the subjective assessment by 75% (n=77) of respondents. A further 15% (n=15) screened during the subjective and objective combined whilst 5% (n=5) examined this factor in the objective assessment in isolation. Psychological screening tools were used by 25% (n= 26) of respondents and psychosocial factors by 12% (n=12) of respondents.

Confidence in assessment and treatment was mixed and clinicians identified a desire for more specific training and self-development. Conclusion The proportion of clinicians screening and measuring psychological and psychosocial factors in clinical practice is high, but few use validated tools due to a lack of time and confidence. Implication for clinical practice Clinicians commonly assess psychological and social factors during assessment of individuals with tendinopathy, as part of their subjective and objective assessments. It is unclear how successfully clinicians identify these factors during their assessments, as they rarely use validated screening tools.
