Notes

Figuring out critical higher-order friendships inside complicated networks.
30 day all cause mortality determined from linkage to administrative data.

Personal and clinical characteristics of patients managed under both oxygen protocols were well matched. For patients with suspected ACS, 30 day mortality for the high and low oxygen groups was 613 (3.0%) and 642 (3.1%), respectively (odds ratio 0.97, 95% confidence interval 0.86 to 1.08). For 4159 (10%) patients with STEMI, 30 day mortality for the high and low oxygen groups was 8.8% (n=178) and 10.6% (n=225), respectively (0.81, 0.66 to 1.00) and for 10 218 (25%) patients with non-STEMI was 3.6% (n=187) and 3.5% (n=176), respectively (1.05, 0.85 to 1.29).

In a large patient cohort presenting with suspected ACS, high flow oxygen was not associated with an increase or decrease in 30 day mortality.

A922500 Drug-induced adverse reactions (ADRs) are a growing reason for consultation in both primary and specialized care. Allergology consultations in Spain are the ones that usually study these ADRs and rule out immunological mechanisms involved in up to 90% of the cases consulted. An adequate approach to these cases has an obvious impact on the costs and efficacy of the treatments required by other specialists, so that if we did not use DPTs, patients would require more expensive, more toxic and less effective treatments in most of the cases. In recent years, a large number of new drugs have been developed and this document is intended to be a practical guide in the management of PDT with the vision of the Spanish Allergology Society. Diagnostic work begins with a detailed history of the patient. Skin tests are only useful for some medications, and in most cases the diagnosis can only be confirmed by DPT. Although there is usually cross-reactivity, DPTs can confirm the diagnosis and also help to find a tolerable alternative drug. The individual management of patients in a programmed way, taking into account both the type of drug to be studied and the patient´s comorbidities, usually allows a solution to be found for the majority of patients.
Focus group discussions typically involve face-to-face facilitation. There is growing interest in utilising digital technologies to facilitate aspects of focus group research. To date, no study in the pharmacy profession has comprehensively described and evaluated a fully virtual process to focus group research, from recruitment to reimbursement.

This study aims to describe an entirely online approach to recruiting for and facilitating virtual focus group discussions, and reimbursement of participants within the pharmacy profession. Specifically, our objectives were to identify 1) the dropout rate, 2) the geographic diversity of focus group participants, and 3) the occurrence of technological issues.

Traditional face-to-face focus group recruitment and facilitation methods were adapted, pre-tested, and conducted using online platforms for advertising, participant expressions of interest, participant consent, focus group facilitation, and participant reimbursement. Populations of interest included communal technological issues. Despite the recent COVID-19 pandemic making physical focus group facilitation untenable, this fully-online approach enables research to be completed uninterrupted.
Our study demonstrates that an entirely online approach to focus group methodology is possible, has the potential to recruit demographically and geographically-diverse participants with low dropout rates, and can be successfully conducted with minimal technological issues. Despite the recent COVID-19 pandemic making physical focus group facilitation untenable, this fully-online approach enables research to be completed uninterrupted.
Social jetlag (SJL) occurs in adolescents due to misalignment of the biological and social clocks, so that most teens wake up earlier than their biological clocks on weekdays and delay bedtime and wake up time on weekends. This shift in sleep timing among adolescents is associated with an adverse endocrine and behavioral risk profile, in addition to increased food consumption and increased body mass index (BMI).

The aim of this study was to determine the association between SJL, and the frequency of consumption of multiple food and beverage groups and BMI percentile in adolescents.

Publicly available data from the cross-sectional Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) study were analyzed.

Participants from the FLASHE study were recruited from all regions of the United States between April and October 2014. Among the 1,581 adolescents aged 12 through 17 years in the original study, 1,556 with complete sleep data were analyzed.

The difference between the frequency of dietary consumptiage consumption and higher odds of having overweight or obesity compared with no SJL in adolescents.
Current recommendations suggest that it is appropriate to store human milk (HM) for up to 24 hours following fortification despite any changes that may occur in fortified HM over time. However, a recent publication suggested fortified frozen HM should be thawed and fed within 12 hours of fortification due to the risk of lactobezoar or milk curd obstruction.

This study investigated whether lactobezoar (milk curd) formation increased when frozen fortified HM was thawed and fed within 12 hours vs 12 to 24 hours postfortification in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Children's Hospital of Orange County to determine if practice changes were warranted.

This study was a retrospective cohort study.

All infants admitted to the Children's Hospital of Orange County NICU for calendar years 2018-2019 who were fed fortified human milk (n= 802) were included in the study.

Feedings using previously frozen (thawed) fortified HM.

Lactobezoar or milk curd formation.

Descriptive analyses were used for statistical analysis.

Of the 107,602 feedings prepared with fortified thawed HM, 68% (72,602) were used within 12 hours of preparation and 32% (34,499) were stored for 12 to 24 hours before administration. The NICU at Children's Hospital of Orange County did not identify any lactobezoar formation or milk curd obstruction in either group.

Data from this study support recommendations for a maximum storage time for thawed, fortified HM of 24 hours.
