Abstract
Psoriasis patients often report dissatisfaction with treatment. However, it is less clear how the severity of key psoriasis symptoms (painful skin, itching, and scaling) as well as overall disease severity influence patient dissatisfaction levels. Using the Adelphi 2011/2013 Psoriasis Disease Specific Programmes, two "real world" surveys of US dermatologists and their patients, patient satisfaction was evaluated. Dermatologists provided data on disease characteristics, while patients indicated their satisfaction with existing treatment. Physician-reported severity (none, mild, moderate/severe) of psoriasis-related itching, pain, and scaling, overall disease severity (mild, moderate and severe) and therapy type were compared by patient satisfaction levels (satisfied vs. dissatisfied). Multivariate regressions examined the relationship between patient satisfaction, clinical symptoms, and psoriasis overall disease severity, controlling for differences in patient demographics and comorbidities. The sample comprised 633 psoriasis patients (56% male) with a mean age of 45. Overall, 18% of patients reported dissatisfaction with their psoriasis treatment. Dissatisfied patients were more likely to have moderate (65% vs. 40%) or severe (21% vs 3%) psoriasis compared to patients who were satisfied (both p<0.05). Dissatisfied patients were also more likely to have more severe pain (30% moderate-to-severe pain vs. 9%), more severe itching (61% moderate-to-severe itching vs. 25%), and more severe scaling (68% moderate-to-severe scaling vs. 33%) than satisfied patients (all p< 0.05). Multivariate analyses confirmed these results. Clinicians should be aware that some psoriasis patients, especially those with severe overall disease or symptoms, may be dissatisfied and are in need of better treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis patients report that this disease can impact on their health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and work productivity. It is important to understand how this is influenced by the clinical characteristics of psoriasis such as symptom severity. Common symptoms include itching, pain, and scaling but the psychosocial impact these features have on patients is not well understood. OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of psoriasis symptoms (itching, pain, and scaling) on HR-QoL and work productivity. METHOD Data were extracted from the Adelphi 2011 and 2013 Psoriasis Disease Specific Programmes - two real world surveys of US dermatologists and their psoriasis patients. HR-QoL was measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and EuroQOL 5-Dimension Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D). Work productivity loss was measured by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. The impact of symptom severity (none, mild, moderate/severe) for itching, pain, and scaling on DLQI, EQ-5D, and WPAI scores were examined, controlling for differences in demographics and co-morbidities. RESULTS Patient mean age was 44 years and 55% were male. Moderate/severe itching, pain, and scaling were experienced by 33%, 13%, and 41% of patients, respectively. Controlling for differences in demographics and co-morbidities, increased symptom severity was associated with reduced HR-QoL. Accordingly, EQ-5D scores decreased with itching severity (moderate/severe vs. none: -0.07; 95% confidence interval [CI] =-0.09, -0.04), whereas DLQI scores increased (moderate/severe versus none: 4.9; CI = 3.9, 5.9) (both p<0.05). WPAI scores increased with itching severity, indicating increased work productivity loss (moderate/severe versus none: 17.6, CI = 11.8, 23.5, p<0.05). The same pattern was observed for pain and scaling. CONCLUSIONS Among the patients studied, increased severity of psoriasis-related itching, pain, and scaling was associated with reduced health-related QoL and work productivity.

Abstract
Objective To generate a global reference for caesarean section (CS) rates at health facilities. Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting Health facilities from 43 countries. Population/Sample Thirty eight thousand three hundred and twenty‐four women giving birth from 22 countries for model building and 10 045 875 women giving birth from 43 countries for model testing. Methods We hypothesised that mathematical models could determine the relationship between clinical‐obstetric characteristics and CS. These models generated probabilities of CS that could be compared with the observed CS rates. We devised a three‐step approach to generate the global benchmark of CS rates at health facilities: creation of a multi‐country reference population, building mathematical models, and testing these models. Main outcome measures Area under the ROC curves, diagnostic odds ratio, expected CS rate, observed CS rate. Results According to the different versions of the model, areas under the ROC curves suggested a good discriminatory capacity of C‐Model, with summary estimates ranging from 0.832 to 0.844. The C‐Model was able to generate expected CS rates adjusted for the case‐mix of the obstetric population. We have also prepared an e‐calculator to facilitate use of C‐Model (www.who.int/reproductivehealth/publications/maternal_perinatal_health/c-model/en/). Conclusions This article describes the development of a global reference for CS rates. Based on maternal characteristics, this tool was able to generate an individualised expected CS rate for health facilities or groups of health facilities. With C‐Model, obstetric teams, health system managers, health facilities, health insurance companies, and governments can produce a customised reference CS rate for assessing use (and overuse) of CS. Tweetable abstract The C‐Model provides a customized benchmark for caesarean section rates in health facilities and systems. The C‐Model provides a customized benchmark for caesarean section rates in health facilities and systems.

Abstract
The association between physical activity (PA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) is inconsistent, with nearly all studies using self-report measures of PA. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between objectively measured PA and CRP in US adults and children. Adults (N=2912) and children (N=1643) with valid accelerometer data and CRP data were included in the analyses. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the odds of meeting PA guidelines across CRP quartiles for children and among adults with low, average, and high CRP levels. For adults, after adjustments for age, gender, race, body mass index, smoking, diabetes, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), compared with those with low CRP levels, odds ratios were 0.59 (CI=0.45-0.77) and 0.46 (CI=0.28-0.76) for participants with average and high CRP levels, respectively. For children, after adjustments for age, gender, race, weight status, and HDL-C, compared with those in CRP quartile 1, odds ratios were 0.96 (CI=0.5-1.84), 1.23 (CI=0.71-2.12), and 0.79 (CI=0.33-1.88) for participants in quartiles 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Objectively measured PA is inversely associated with CRP in adults, with PA not related to CRP in children.

Abstract
CONTEXT Information on the use of oral bisphosphonate agents to treat pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is limited. OBJECTIVE The objective of the investigation was to study the efficacy and safety of daily oral alendronate (ALN) in children with OI. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. One hundred thirty-nine children (aged 4-19 yr) with type I, III, or IV OI were randomized to either placebo (n = 30) or ALN (n = 109) for 2 yr. ALN doses were 5 mg/d in children less than 40 kg and 10 mg/d for those 40 kg and greater. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Spine areal bone mineral density (BMD) z-score, urinary N-telopeptide of collagen type I, extremity fracture incidence, vertebral area, iliac cortical width, bone pain, physical activity, and safety parameters were measured. RESULTS ALN increased spine areal BMD by 51% vs. a 12% increase with placebo (P < 0.001); the mean spine areal BMD z-score increased significantly from -4.6 to -3.3 (P < 0.001) with ALN, whereas the change in the placebo group (from -4.6 to -4.5) was insignificant. Urinary N-telopeptide of collagen type I decreased by 62% in the ALN-treated group, compared with 32% with placebo (P < 0.001). Long-bone fracture incidence, average midline vertebral height, iliac cortical width, bone pain, and physical activity were similar between groups. The incidences of clinical and laboratory adverse experiences were also similar between the treatment and placebo groups. CONCLUSIONS Oral ALN for 2 yr in pediatric patients with OI significantly decreased bone turnover and increased spine areal BMD but was not associated with improved fracture outcomes.
