Retention of study participants in observational studies is essential to maintaining the representativeness population, minimizing selection bias, and assuring sufficient statistical power. The aim this report describe structures strategies used retain Environmental Determinants Diabetes Young (TEDDY) Study, an children at increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes followed intensive protocol from birth until age 15. Teague et al.'s systematic review retention identified four domains:...
This special issue highlights the necessity of rigorous methodologies, transparency, and innovation in social work research. Emphasizing causal inference, contributions this volume address replication challenges, design complexities, data transparency. Key advancements recommendations we put forth include study preregistration, sharing, novel methodologies such as advanced mixed methods considerations, emerging regression discontinuity designs, use co-twin control how to handle complex...
To explore patients' use of patient portals to access lab test results, their comprehension data, and factors associated with these. An online survey was administered 276 adults 18+ years. Multivariate logistic regression used determine portal view results comprehension. The sample predominantly White (72.5%), female (55.4%), mean age 50.7 ± 15.5 Overall, participants had low numeracy (10.79 2.71) eHealth literacy skills (23.91 5.29), moderate scores (18 2.3). greater were more likely via...
Medication adherence and timing of doses remains a challenge for adolescent patients following heart transplant. Mobile technology promotion efforts offer new avenues direct observation medication timeliness medication-taking behavior. The study explores posttransplant maintenance, highlighting the importance consistent dose with tacrolimus. use directly observed therapy (DOT) via mobile health app was examined as method real-time monitoring, offered platform to upload videos themselves...
Abstract Objectives Prediction of post-transplant health outcomes and identification key factors remain important issues for pediatric transplant teams researchers. Outcomes research has generally relied on general linear modeling or similar techniques offering limited predictive validity. Thus far, data-driven machine learning (ML) approaches have had application success in research. The purpose the current study was to examine ML models predicting hospitalization a sample kidney, liver,...
Every year around the globe there are more than two million stillbirths, yet stillbirth is generally treated as a non-event, considered less impactful death of live-born child. In up to 60 percent third-trimester causes were attributed maternal conditions or "undetermined." As result, mothers blame themselves specific others. This analysis set out determine how attitudes 2,232 bereaved predict their mental health outcomes measuring depressive and anxious symptoms with Hopkins Symptom...
Social workers are likely to encounter clients dealing with traumatic grief and death in their practice. Though education has gained popularity acceptance, few social work students receive coursework this area many unprepared deal clients' own emotions regarding grief. death-related content may evoke provider avoidance, mindfulness empathy help regulate responses. This United States-based study evaluates the effectiveness of experiential on empathy. Measures three separate cohorts were given...
A total of 15 SNPs within complement genes and present on the ImmunoChip were analyzed in The Environmental Determinants Diabetes Young (TEDDY) study. 5474 subjects followed from three months age until islet autoimmunity (IA: n = 413) subsequent onset type 1 diabetes (n 115) for a median 73 (IQR 54-91). Three ITGAM nominally associated (p < 0.05) with IA: rs1143678 [Hazard ratio; HR 0.80; 95% CI 0.66-0.98; p 0.032], rs1143683 [HR 0.65-0.98; 0.030] rs4597342 1.16; 1.01-1.32; 0.041]. When was...
Abstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes diagnosed at <6 months of age is usually monogenic. However, 10–15% affected infants do not have a pathogenic variant in one the 26 known neonatal diabetes genes. We characterised without to assess whether polygenic type 1 could arise early ages. Methods studied 166 with whom variants all genes had been excluded and compared them monogenic ( n = 164) or children 6–24 152). assessed genetic risk score (T1D-GRS), islet autoantibodies, C-peptide clinical...
Biomarkers predicting risk of type 1 diabetes (stage 3) among children with islet autoantibodies are greatly needed to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis and facilitate prevention therapies.Children in the prospective The Environmental Determinants Diabetes Young (TEDDY) study (n = 707) confirmed diabetes-associated (GAD antibody, IA-2A, and/or insulin autoantibody) two or more HbA1c measurements were followed median age 11.1 years. Once autoantibody positive, was measured quarterly. Cox models...
To estimate the risk of progression to stage 3 type 1 diabetes based on varying definitions multiple islet autoantibody positivity (mIA).
Abstract Few studies have identified the psychosocial characteristics of those children and their families associated with future non‐adherence to immunosuppressive medications following a heart or lung transplant. UNOS data medical records information were used test association between patient family medication adherence. Medication adherence outcomes obtained using physician assessments in measured through patient‐level standard deviation scores blood levels. Complete collected on 105...
