There has been an increasing interest in the association between ambient temperature and violence crime, context of global warming. We aimed to evaluate daily intentional homicide-a proxy for overall inter-personal violence.We collected weather crime data from 9 large US cities (Chicago, Detroit, Fort Worth, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Louisville, New York, Tucson Virginia Beach) 2007 2017. A time-stratified case-crossover design was used. The associations were quantified by conditional...
The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) dramatically increased over these years and environmental factors were considered as potential contributors towards trends.This study aimed to explore several major exposures, including air pollution, temperature relative humidity, in order identify modifiable risk their interactive effects on AD.We applied a bivariate response surface model stratification based time-series Poisson generalized additive models examine the pollution meteorological AD.A...
Few studies have reported the association of economic growth with trends visual impairment in schoolchildren China or elsewhere.To describe 30-year and patterns to explore between development.In this time series analysis 7 successive cross-sectional surveys from 1985 2014, a total 1 951 084 aged 18 years all provinces autonomous regions mainland China, excluding Tibet, were studied. In 1985, survey was conducted March June; 1991-2014, September November. Data performed April 1, 2018, January...
There is increasing interest in the validation of pediatric preference-based health-related quality life measurement instruments. It critical that children with various degrees (HRQoL) impact are included studies. To inform patient sample selection for studies from a pragmatic perspective, this study explored HRQoL impairments between known-groups and changes over time across 27 common chronic child health conditions identified largest on HRQoL.The dimensions two measures, EQ-5D-Y CHU9D,...
This study examines the psychometric properties of Child Health Utility 9D (CHU9D) proxy version administered to parents/caregivers 2–4-year-old Australian children compared with Pediatric Quality Life Inventory™ 4.0 (PedsQL). Data collected in 2021/2022 from 2–4-year-olds pediatric multi-instrument comparison were used. Feasibility, ceiling/floor effects, test–retest reliability, convergent validity, known-group and responsiveness assessed. A total 842 caregivers completed survey at...
Importance Girls in East Asia have a higher myopia prevalence than boys. Less research has been done on whether girls' earlier puberty could explain this sex difference. Objective The purpose of study was to evaluate the association between and role explaining disparity adolescent prevalence. Design, Setting, Participants In nationwide cross-sectional study, data came from five consecutive national surveys 1995 2014 China. We included 338,896 boys aged 11–18 439,481 girls 9–18. Main Outcomes...
The aim of this study was to compare the psychometric performance common generic paediatric health-related quality-of-life instrument descriptive systems (PedsQL core 4.0, EQ-5D-Y-3L, EQ-5D-Y-5L, Child Health Utility 9D [CHU9D], Assessment Quality Life 6D [AQoL-6D], and Utilities Index Mark 3 [HUI3]) by child age, report type, health status. Data for children aged 5–18 years were from Australian Paediatric Multi-Instrument Comparison study. Ceiling effects, test–retest reliability,...
<h3>Background and Objectives:</h3> Bell's palsy is the third most frequent diagnosis in children with sudden onset neurological dysfunction. The cost-effectiveness of treating prednisolone unknown. We aimed to assess Palsy compared placebo. <h3>Methods:</h3> This economic evaluation was a prospectively planned secondary analysis double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled superiority trial (BellPIC) conducted from 2015 2020. Time horizon 6 months since randomization. Children aged <18...
Pimpinellin is a coumarin-like compound extracted from the root of Toddalia asiatica . Its effects on platelet function has not been investigated. This study found that pimpinellin pretreatment effectively inhibited collagen-induced aggregation, but did alter ADP- and thrombin-induced aggregation. Platelets pretreated with showed reduced α granule (CD62) level secretion dense (ATP release). Pimpinellin-treated platelets also exhibited decreased clot reaction TxB2 production. suppressed...
Background: Collecting data using paediatric health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments is complex, and there a paucity evidence regarding the comparative performance HRQoL instruments. The Australian Paediatric Multi-Instrument Comparison (P-MIC) study was conducted to address this evidence. This aims understand (1) feasibility collecting in research setting (2) acceptability for children their caregivers complete common from P-MIC study. Methods: Data were aged 5–18 years...
Objective: Road safety is an important public health issue worldwide. However, few studies have analyzed the association between criminalizing drunk driving and years of life lost (YLL) due to road traffic deaths (RTDs). Our study can provide useful information about this policy.Methods: We used interrupted time-series analysis find changes in monthly YLL RTD before after law enforcement began using data from 2008 2014 Tianjin.Results: After adjustment for seasonality, months, holidays,...
There is an increasing interest to obtain adolescents' own health state valuation preferences and understand how these differ from adult for the same state. An important question in whether adolescents can report reliably, yet research remains limited.This study aims investigate test-retest reliability of best-worst scaling (BWS) elicit adolescent compared with adults.Identical BWS tasks designed value 3-level version EQ-5D-Y states were administered online samples 1000 (aged 11-17 years)...
This study aims to fill the gap in our understanding about exposure particulate matters with diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and attributable risks economic costs of mental disorders (MDs). We identify relationship between PM2.5 risk hospital admissions (HAs) for MDs Beijing measure cost. apply a generalized additive model (GAM) controls time trend, meteorological conditions, holidays day week. Stratified analyses are performed by age, gender season.We further estimate health burden HAs...
Introduction The cost effectiveness of treating Bell’s palsy with prednisolone in children is unknown. This study aimed to assess the prednisolone, compared placebo, Palsy from a healthcare sector perspective. Methods economic evaluation was prospectively planned secondary analysis triple-blind randomized superiority trial conducted 2015 2020 that placebo. time horizon six months after randomization. 180 participants were aged 17 years and presented within 72 hours onset clinician diagnosed...
TPS 771: Diet and lifestyle, Exhibition Hall, Ground floor, August 26, 2019, 3:00 PM - 4:30 Abstract: Aim: Road safety is an important public health issue worldwide. However, few studies analyse the association between criminalizing drunk driving Years of Life Lost (YLL) Traffic Deaths (RTD). There are still countries which do not have law preventing driving. Our study can provide useful information about this. Methods: We used interrupted time-series analysis to find changes YLL before...
