Abstract
Minoritized communities are underreached by biomedical interventions, such as the COVID-19 vaccine. This mixed-methods study identified factors associated with vaccine likelihood (VL) and uptake (VU) among 187 Latino sexual minority men (LSMM) in South Florida. Regression models with LASSO variable selection and Classification and Regression Trees (CART) assessed determinants of VL and VU while open-ended questions were evaluated using thematic content analysis. VL (range 1-7; M = 6.00, SD = 1.84) and VU (63.6%) was high. LASSO modeling identified being insured, worrying about others, fear of transmitting COVID-19, and financial stress as the most influential factors for VL; working remotely from home was important for VU. Time (weeks) since addition of COVID-19 vaccination-related questions (December 2nd, 2020) was associated with both outcomes across both modeling techniques. Convergence between data suggests capitalizing on altruistic motivations and improving accessibility to vaccine campaigns are valuable assets to increase LSMM's vaccine confidence.

Abstract
Background Barrett's Esophagus (BE) is a pre-malignant condition defined by the presence of metaplastic columnar epithelial cells above the gastroesophageal junction. Currently, diagnoses is made by endoscopy. Once metaplasia is present, there is 0.5% annual risk of progression to dysplasia and ultimately adenocarcinoma. Cytosponge is a new device and technique to diagnose BE. Furthermore, this test has a strong safety profile. Research has suggested increased patient tolerance for the Cytosponge compared to endoscopy; this has not been demonstrated in a Canadian healthcare setting. Before Cytosponge test can be integrated in Canada, ideally, patient acceptability of this device should be evaluated. Purpose To assess patient acceptability, tolerability and integration of Cytosponge in the diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus in a Canadian healthcare setting. We also assessed the ease of use and familiarity with Cytosponge. Method A single-centre, prospective cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the acceptability and comfort of patients undergoing Cytosponge procedure. Outpatients referred for EGD for Barrett's Esophagus at St. Paul’s Hospital between 03/21-07/22 were included. 36 patients with BE have been enrolled in this project. Acceptability was evaluated through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Impact of Events Scale (IOES) on the day of procedure, day 7 post procedure and day 90 post procedure. Data from health care providers administering the Cytosponge were collected using the System Usability Scale (SUS). One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference tests were completed to assess score differences between follow up. Result(s) A total of 36 patients met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate. Of these patients 81.6% were successful in swallowing Cytosponge, 18.4% were unsucessful. ANOVA test revealed statistically significant difference in VAS scores, F(3, 140) = 12.59, p < 0.0000005. There were significant differences in VAS between Day 0 and Day 7, p=0.0032. This was also seen in VAS between Day 0 vs Day 90, p=0.0017. There were no statistically significant difference in mean STAI scores between different time points, F(3, 140) = 12.59, p=0.44. ANOVA test also showed statistical difference in IOES scores, F(2, 111) = 8.76, p<0.0005. There was statistical difference between day 0 compared to day 7 and between day 0 and day 90, p=0.0045, and p=0.00045 respectively. Conclusion(s) Our results demonstrate that Cytosponge is a well tolerated in a Canadian healthcare setting. Follow up scores of VAS and IOES were lower compared to day 0 suggesting that patients found Cytosponge acceptable. A score of 68 and above is considered to be above average on the SUS which measures usability of Cytosponge. The average SUS score in this sample was 65.3, this may suggest that there is a learning curve for health care providers to become familiar with Cytosponge. There were no complications with Cytosponge in this sample.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with bi-lobar liver tumours are not eligible for liver resection due to an insufficient future liver remnant (FLR). To reduce the risk of posthepatectomy liver failure and the primary cause of death, regenerative procedures intent to increase the FLR before surgery. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the available literature and outcomes on the effectiveness of simultaneous portal and hepatic vein embolization (PVE/HVE) versus portal vein embolization (PVE) alone. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase up to September 2022. The primary outcome was resectability and the secondary outcome was the FLR volume increase. RESULTS Eight studies comparing PVE/HVE with PVE and six retrospective PVE/HVE case series were included. Pooled resectability within the comparative studies was 75 per cent in the PVE group (n = 252) versus 87 per cent in the PVE/HVE group (n = 166, OR 1.92 (95% c.i., 1.13-3.25)) favouring PVE/HVE (P = 0.015). After PVE, FLR hypertrophy between 12 per cent and 48 per cent (after a median of 21-30 days) was observed, whereas growth between 36 per cent and 67 per cent was reported after PVE/HVE (after a median of 17-31 days). In the comparative studies, 90-day primary cause of death was similar between groups (2.5 per cent after PVE versus 2.2 per cent after PVE/HVE), but a higher 90-day primary cause of death was reported in single-arm PVE/HVE cohort studies (6.9 per cent, 12 of 175 patients). CONCLUSION Based on moderate/weak evidence, PVE/HVE seems to increase resectability of bi-lobar liver tumours with a comparable safety profile. Additionally, PVE/HVE resulted in faster and more pronounced hypertrophy compared with PVE alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal anastomotic techniques in esophagectomy to minimize rates of anastomotic leakage and conduit necrosis are not known. The aim of this study was to assess whether the anastomotic technique was associated with anastomotic failure after esophagectomy in the international Oesophago-Gastric Anastomosis Audit cohort. METHODS This prospective observational multicenter cohort study included patients undergoing esophagectomy for esophageal cancer over 9 months during 2018. The primary exposure was the anastomotic technique, classified as handsewn, linear stapled, or circular stapled. The primary outcome was anastomotic failure, namely a composite of anastomotic leakage and conduit necrosis, as defined by the Esophageal Complications Consensus Group. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to identify the association between anastomotic techniques and anastomotic failure, after adjustment for confounders. RESULTS Of the 2238 esophagectomies, the anastomosis was handsewn in 27.1%, linear stapled in 21.0%, and circular stapled in 51.9%. Anastomotic techniques differed significantly by the anastomosis sites (P < .001), with the majority of neck anastomoses being handsewn (69.9%), whereas most chest anastomoses were stapled (66.3% circular stapled and 19.3% linear stapled). Rates of anastomotic failure differed significantly among the anastomotic techniques (P < .001), from 19.3% in handsewn anastomoses, to 14.0% in linear stapled anastomoses, and 12.1% in circular stapled anastomoses. This effect remained significant after adjustment for confounding factors on multivariable analysis, with an odds ratio of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.46-0.86; P = .004) for circular stapled versus handsewn anastomosis. However, subgroup analysis by anastomosis site suggested that this effect was predominantly present in neck anastomoses, with anastomotic failure rates of 23.2% versus 14.6% versus 5.9% for handsewn versus linear stapled anastomoses versus circular stapled neck anastomoses, compared with 13.7% versus 13.8% versus 12.2% for chest anastomoses. CONCLUSIONS Handsewn anastomoses appear to be independently associated with higher rates of anastomotic failure compared with stapled anastomoses. However, this effect seems to be largely confined to neck anastomoses, with minimal differences between techniques observed for chest anastomoses. Further research into standardization of anastomotic approach and techniques may further improve outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Textbook outcome has been proposed as a tool for the assessment of oncological surgical care. However, an international assessment in patients undergoing oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer has not been reported. This study aimed to assess textbook outcome in an international setting.
Methods
Patients undergoing curative resection for oesophageal cancer were identified from the international Oesophagogastric Anastomosis Audit (OGAA) from April 2018 to December 2018. Textbook outcome was defined as the percentage of patients who underwent a complete tumour resection with at least 15 lymph nodes in the resected specimen and an uneventful postoperative course, without hospital readmission. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors independently associated with textbook outcome, and results are presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95 per cent confidence intervals (95 per cent c.i.).
Results
Of 2159 patients with oesophageal cancer, 39.7 per cent achieved a textbook outcome. The outcome parameter ‘no major postoperative complication’ had the greatest negative impact on a textbook outcome for patients with oesophageal cancer, compared to other textbook outcome parameters. Multivariable analysis identified male gender and increasing Charlson comorbidity index with a significantly lower likelihood of textbook outcome. Presence of 24-hour on-call rota for oesophageal surgeons (OR 2.05, 95 per cent c.i. 1.30 to 3.22; P = 0.002) and radiology (OR 1.54, 95 per cent c.i. 1.05 to 2.24; P = 0.027), total minimally invasive oesophagectomies (OR 1.63, 95 per cent c.i. 1.27 to 2.08; P < 0.001), and chest anastomosis above azygous (OR 2.17, 95 per cent c.i. 1.58 to 2.98; P < 0.001) were independently associated with a significantly increased likelihood of textbook outcome.
Conclusion
Textbook outcome is achieved in less than 40 per cent of patients having oesophagectomy for cancer. Improvements in centralization, hospital resources, access to minimal access surgery, and adoption of newer techniques for improving lymph node yield could improve textbook outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health information technologies (HITs) are increasingly being used to support the self-management of chronic diseases. However, patients' initial or continued acceptance of such technologies is not always achieved. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a theory-driven HIT acceptance model to examine factors affecting acceptance of HIT (measured by behavioral intention; BI) for disease self-management among patients with chronic diseases, in which we also focused on three additional, previously unexplored factors related to perceived hand function (PHF), perceived visual function (PVF), and perceived space adequacy (PSA) and a longitudinal scrutinization of changes in the effects of these factors on acceptance over time. METHODS The theoretical basis of our acceptance model was drawn from the technology acceptance model and the theory of planned behavior. The model was further extended by including patients' PHF, PVF (related to patients with chronic diseases who are mostly elderly), and PSA (related to the patients' home environment). The model was tested in the context of type 2 diabetes and hypertension self-management via a touchscreen tablet-based system over a 24-week period. A questionnaire was administered at four time points (baseline and 8, 16, and 24 weeks after implementation) to collect data from 151 patients with coexisting type 2 diabetes and hypertension. We tested the model at each time point using partial least squares structural equation modeling. RESULTS Perceived usefulness of the self-management system influenced BI directly at 8 and 24 weeks and indirectly at 8, 16, and 24 weeks. Perceived ease of use indirectly affected BI at 8, 16, and 24 weeks. Attitude directly affected BI at 8, 16, and 24 weeks. Perceived behavioral control directly influenced BI at baseline and 8 and 16 weeks. Subjective norms indirectly influenced BI at 8, 16, and 24 weeks. PHF and PVF indirectly influenced BI over the entire study period. PSA influenced BI directly at 16 weeks and indirectly at 8, 16, and 24 weeks. CONCLUSION The effects of the proposed factors in our model on patient-focused HIT acceptance changed over a longer time period, emphasizing the importance of further investigation of the longitudinal mechanisms influencing technology acceptance behavior. It is recommended that healthcare practitioners consider such changes when implementing comparable technologies. Moreover, beyond technology attributes, the characteristics, needs, and limitations of older adults and elderly patient users and their home environments should also be considered in the design and implementation of patient-focused HIT systems for chronic disease self-management at home.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The complexity of oesophageal surgery and the significant risk of morbidity necessitates that oesophagectomy is predominantly performed by a consultant surgeon, or a senior trainee under their supervision. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of trainee involvement in oesophagectomy on postoperative outcomes in an international multicentre setting. METHODS Data from the multicentre Oesophago-Gastric Anastomosis Study Group (OGAA) cohort study were analysed, which comprised prospectively collected data from patients undergoing oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer between April 2018 and December 2018. Procedures were grouped by the level of trainee involvement, and univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to compare patient outcomes across groups. RESULTS Of 2232 oesophagectomies from 137 centres in 41 countries, trainees were involved in 29.1 per cent of them (n = 650), performing only the abdominal phase in 230, only the chest and/or neck phases in 130, and all phases in 315 procedures. For procedures with a chest anastomosis, those with trainee involvement had similar 90-day mortality, complication and reoperation rates to consultant-performed oesophagectomies (P = 0.451, P = 0.318, and P = 0.382, respectively), while anastomotic leak rates were significantly lower in the trainee groups (P = 0.030). Procedures with a neck anastomosis had equivalent complication, anastomotic leak, and reoperation rates (P = 0.150, P = 0.430, and P = 0.632, respectively) in trainee-involved versus consultant-performed oesophagectomies, with significantly lower 90-day mortality in the trainee groups (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Trainee involvement was not found to be associated with significantly inferior postoperative outcomes for selected patients undergoing oesophagectomy. The results support continued supervised trainee involvement in oesophageal cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reaching World Health Organization hepatitis C (HCV) elimination targets requires diagnosis and treatment of people who use drugs (PWUD) with direct acting antivirals (DAAs). PWUD experience challenges engaging in HCV treatment, including needing multiple provider and laboratory appointments. Women, minoritized racial communities, and homeless individuals are less likely to complete treatment. METHODS We implemented a streamlined opt-out HCV screening and linkage-to-care program in two healthcare for the homeless clinics and a medically supported withdrawal center. Front-line staff initiated a single-order reflex laboratory bundle combining screening, confirmation, and pre-treatment laboratory evaluation from a single blood draw. Multinomial logistic regression models identified characteristics influencing movement through each stage of the HCV treatment cascade. Multiple logistic regression models identified patient characteristics associated with HCV care cascade progression and Cox proportional hazards models assessed time to initiation of DAAs. RESULTS Of 11,035 clients engaged in services between May 2017 and March 2020, 3,607 (32.7%) were screened. Of those screened, 1,020 (28.3%) were HCV PCR positive. Of those with detectable RNA, 712 (69.8%) initiated treatment and 670 (94.1%) completed treatment. Of those initiating treatment, 407 (57.2%) achieved SVR12. There were eight treatment failures and six reinfections. In the unadjusted model, the bundle intervention was associated with increased care cascade progression, and in the survival analysis, decreased time to initiation; these differences were attenuated in the adjusted model. Women were less likely to complete treatment and SVR12 labs than men. Homelessness increased likelihood of screening and diagnosis but was negatively associated with completing SVR12 labs. Presence of opioid and stimulant use disorder diagnoses predicted increased care cascade progression. CONCLUSIONS The laboratory bundle and referral pathways improved treatment initiation, time to initiation, and movement across the cascade. Despite overall population improvements, women and homeless individuals experienced important gaps across the HCV care cascade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been an exponential growth in the number of clinical research studies regarding exercise training in multiple sclerosis, and literature reviews and meta-analyses have documented the many benefits of exercise training. This research further requires careful review for documenting the safety of exercise training in multiple sclerosis, as clarity on safety represents a major hurdle in the clinical prescription of exercise behaviour. OBJECTIVES To enhance understanding of the feasibility of exercise in multiple sclerosis, we (1) provide a protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis that summarises rates and risks of clinical relapse, adverse events (i.e., an unfavourable outcome that occurs during the intervention delivery time period), and serious adverse events (i.e., an untoward occurrence that results in death or is life threatening, requires hospitalisation, or results in disability during the intervention delivery time period), as well as retention, adherence, and compliance, from randomised controlled trials of exercise training in persons with multiple sclerosis; and (2) identify moderators of relapse, adverse events, and serious adverse event rates. METHODS Eight field-relevant databases will be searched electronically. Studies that involve a randomised controlled trial of exercise training (with non-exercise, non-pharmacological, comparator), report on safety outcomes, and include adults with multiple sclerosis will be included. Rates and relative risks of the three primary outcomes (relapse, adverse event, and serious adverse event) will be calculated and reported each with standard error and 95% confidence interval. Random-effects meta-analysis will estimate mean population relative risk for outcomes. Potential sources of variability, including participant characteristics, features of the exercise stimulus, and comparison condition, will be examined with random-effects meta-regression with maximum likelihood estimation. DISCUSSION The results from this systematic review and meta-analysis will inform and guide healthcare practitioners, researchers, and policymakers on the safety of exercise training in persons with multiple sclerosis. Where possible, we will identify the impact of exercise type, exercise delivery style, participant disability level, and the prescription of exercise guidelines, on the safety of exercise training. The result will identify critical information on the safety of exercise in persons with multiple sclerosis, while also identifying gaps in research and setting priorities for future enquiries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No evidence currently exists characterising global outcomes following major cancer surgery, including esophageal cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to characterise impact of high income countries (HIC) versus low and middle income countries (LMIC) on the outcomes following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. METHOD This international multi-center prospective study across 137 hospitals in 41 countries included patients who underwent an esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, with 90-day follow-up. The main explanatory variable was country income, defined according to the World Bank Data classification. The primary outcome was 90-day postoperative mortality, and secondary outcomes were composite leaks (anastomotic leak or conduit necrosis) and major complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade III - V). Multivariable generalized estimating equation models were used to produce adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI95%). RESULTS Between April 2018 to December 2018, 2247 patients were included. Patients from HIC were more significantly older, with higher ASA grade, and more advanced tumors. Patients from LMIC had almost three-fold increase in 90-day mortality, compared to HIC (9.4% vs 3.7%, p < 0.001). On adjusted analysis, LMIC were independently associated with higher 90-day mortality (OR: 2.31, CI95%: 1.17-4.55, p = 0.015). However, LMIC were not independently associated with higher rates of anastomotic leaks (OR: 1.06, CI95%: 0.57-1.99, p = 0.9) or major complications (OR: 0.85, CI95%: 0.54-1.32, p = 0.5), compared to HIC. CONCLUSION Resections in LMIC were independently associated with higher 90-day postoperative mortality, likely reflecting a failure to rescue of these patients following esophagectomy, despite similar composite anastomotic leaks and major complication rates to HIC. These findings warrant further research, to identify potential issues and solutions to improve global outcomes following esophagectomy for cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group (ECCG) and the Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit (DUCA) have set standards in reporting outcomes after oesophagectomy. Reporting outcomes from selected high-volume centres or centralized national cancer programmes may not, however, be reflective of the true global prevalence of complications. This study aimed to compare complication rates after oesophagectomy from these existing sources with those of an unselected international cohort from the Oesophago-Gastric Anastomosis Audit (OGAA). METHODS The OGAA was a prospective multicentre cohort study coordinated by the West Midlands Research Collaborative, and included patients undergoing oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer between April and December 2018, with 90 days of follow-up. RESULTS The OGAA study included 2247 oesophagectomies across 137 hospitals in 41 countries. Comparisons with the ECCG and DUCA found differences in baseline demographics between the three cohorts, including age, ASA grade, and rates of chronic pulmonary disease. The OGAA had the lowest rates of neoadjuvant treatment (OGAA 75.1 per cent, ECCG 78.9 per cent, DUCA 93.5 per cent; P < 0.001). DUCA exhibited the highest rates of minimally invasive surgery (OGAA 57.2 per cent, ECCG 47.9 per cent, DUCA 85.8 per cent; P < 0.001). Overall complication rates were similar in the three cohorts (OGAA 63.6 per cent, ECCG 59.0 per cent, DUCA 62.2 per cent), with no statistically significant difference in Clavien-Dindo grades (P = 0.752). However, a significant difference in 30-day mortality was observed, with DUCA reporting the lowest rate (OGAA 3.2 per cent, ECCG 2.4 per cent, DUCA 1.7 per cent; P = 0.013). CONCLUSION Despite differences in rates of co-morbidities, oncological treatment strategies, and access to minimal-access surgery, overall complication rates were similar in the three cohorts.

Abstract
Background:Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the axial skeleton and sacroiliac joints, and can be classified as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or non-radiographic (nr)-axSpA.1A 2016 analysis estimated the US diagnostic prevalence of axSpA to be 0.2% and AS to be 0.1%.2Previous studies use disparate populations and diagnostic definitions;3,4it is therefore unclear how AS prevalence has changed over time.Objectives:To investigate the annual diagnostic prevalence of AS in US healthcare insurance claims databases.Methods:A retrospective, observational cohort study was conducted using 2006–2014 data from US Medicare Fee-for-Service Claims (5% random sample of all enrolled patients [pts]) and Truven MarketScan®. Eligible pts were ≥20 years (yrs) and had ≥6 months of continuous medical and pharmacy enrolment prior to diagnosis. Diagnoses used relevant International Classification of Disease, 9thversion (ICD-9) diagnosis codes: ICD-9 720.x [x=any number] for “AS and other inflammatory spondylopathies [SpA]” or 720.0 for “AS”. Two diagnosis definitions were used: Definition 1, ≥1 relevant ICD-9 code from hospital discharge or ≥2 from rheumatologist visit; Definition 2, ≥1 relevant ICD-9 code from hospital discharge or rheumatologist visit. Annual diagnostic prevalence of SpA/AS was calculated as “number of enrolled pts who met the definition of SpA/AS within each calendar yr and had full insurance coverage (medical and pharmacy)”, divided by “total number of pts with full insurance coverage in the same yr”. A primary analysis of SpA prevalence rates used Definitions 1 and 2, followed by a sensitivity analysis for AS prevalence rates using only Definition 2. All prevalence rates are shown per 10,000 pts enrolled.Results:The annual diagnostic prevalence of SpA appeared to increase from 2006–2014 (Table). Similarly, the sensitivity analysis showed the annual diagnostic prevalence of AS appeared to increase during the period from 2006 (Medicare: 2.87/10,000 pts [n=501,031]; MarketScan: 1.37/10,000 pts [n=17,562,637]) to 2014 (Medicare: 4.77/10,000 pts [n=1,046,107]; MarketScan: 2.14/10,000 pts [n=34,553,135];Figure).Conclusion:The apparent increase in diagnostic prevalence of SpA and AS during the period from 2006–2014 may be a consequence of increased awareness and availability of effective treatments. Furthermore, the 2009 Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society development of the axSpA classification criteria to include pts with both established AS and nr-axSpA may have accelerated this increase.5References:[1]Strand V.

Abstract
Background:Comorbidities and extra-articular manifestations (EAMs) substantially increase disease burden and mortality risk in patients (pts) with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).1,2Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) are highly efficacious and effective in AS treatment (tx), and are used after inadequate response to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.3,4However, the impact of TNFi on the incidence of comorbidities and EAMs in pts with AS is unknown.5Objectives:To determine the incidence of comorbidities and EAMs in TNFi vs non-TNFi treated pts with AS in the US.Methods:This was a retrospective, observational cohort study using data from 3 healthcare insurance claims databases: Multi-Payer Claims Database (MPCD Optum Insight; 2007–2010), Truven MarketScan®(2010–2014) and US Medicare Fee-for-Service Claims database (2006–2014). Eligible pts: ≥20 years (yrs) for MarketScan/MPCD or ≥65 yrs for Medicare, had an AS diagnosis (≥2 International Classification of Disease, 9thversion [ICD-9] diagnosis codes of 720.0 from a rheumatologist) and ≥12 months’ continuous medical and pharmacy enrolment prior to AS diagnosis (AS index date). Pts with AS not receiving tx were excluded. Tx exposure was reported from the first date of a new prescription/administration of an AS tx (no prior exposure) after the AS index date. Crude incidence rates (IR; shown as cases/100 pt-yrs) were calculated for EAMs (uveitis, psoriasis [PSO], psoriatic arthritis [PsA], inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]), with follow-up until the earliest of: death, lost medical/pharmacy coverage, study period end, first outcome occurrence, tx switch/discontinuation. Hazard ratios (HRs) of comorbidities (hospitalised infection, solid cancers) and EAMs for propensity score (PS)-matched pt groups were calculated using Cox proportional hazard regression models. Pts with the specific comorbidity/EAM of interest prior to AS index date were excluded. PS analyses assessed probability of TNFi initiation vs non-TNFi tx and adjusted for factors including comorbidities and demographics. HRs with confidence intervals crossing 1 are not reported.Results:20,460 pts with AS were eligible (MPCD: 2,384; MarketScan: 9,032; Medicare: 9,044). In all databases, crude IR of EAMs were higher for TNFi vs non-TNFi treated pts (Figure 1). In the PS-matched cohort, incidences of hospitalised infections were lower in TNFi vs non-TNFi treated pts from the MarketScan and Medicare databases (Figure 2). Higher incidences of solid cancers and EAMs were observed in TNFi vs non-TNFi treated pts; Medicare data (Figure 2). A higher risk of PsA and PSO was seen in TNFi vs non-TNFi treated pts; MarketScan data (Figure 2). PS-matched cohort data from the MPCD database were non-significant.Conclusion:Despite strong efficacy in treating AS-related signs and symptoms, similar incidence of comorbidities and increased incidence of some EAMs (IBD, PSO/PsA, uveitis) was seen in TNFi vs non-TNFi treated pts in the PS-matched analyses. This may be due to channelling of pts with more severe AS to receive TNFi, despite the PS-matched analysis aiming to overcome this. Moreover, prior medical history of Medicare pts may not be captured in the database, as pts are typically older with longer disease durations. While these results confirm previous findings,6a prospective observational study is required to generalise to pts outside the US.References:[1]Stolwijk C. Ann Rheum Dis 2015;74:1373–8;[2]Bremander A.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the published academic literature on the cost of chronic ulcers. METHODS A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, HealthSTAR, Econlit and CINAHL up to 12 May 2016 to identify potential studies for review. Cost search terms were based on validated algorithms. Clinical search terms were based on recent Cochrane reviews of interventions for chronic ulcers. Titles and abstracts were screened by two reviewers to determine eligibility for full text review. Study characteristics were summarised. The quality of reporting was evaluated using a modified cost-of-illness checklist. Mean costs were adjusted and inflated to 2015 $US and presented for different durations and perspectives. RESULTS Of 2267 studies identified, 36 were eligible and included in the systematic review. Most studies presented results from the health-care public payer or hospital perspective. Many studies included hospital costs in the analysis and only reported total costs without presenting condition-specific attributable costs. The mean cost of chronic ulcers ranged from $1000 per year for patient out of pocket costs to $30,000 per episode from the health-care public payer perspective. Mean one year cost from a health-care public payer perspective was $44,200 for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), $15,400 for pressure ulcer (PU) and $11,000 for leg ulcer (LU). CONCLUSIONS There was large variability in study methods, perspectives, cost components and jurisdictions, making interpretation of costs difficult. Nevertheless, it appears that the cost for the treatment of chronic ulcers is substantial and greater attention needs to be made for preventive measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation (CVAR) is observed in up to 20% of cardiac surgical patients. This systematic review aims to evaluate the association between impaired CVAR, measured by current monitoring techniques, and patient-centred outcomes in adults following cardiac surgery. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, MEDLINE In-Process and Cochrane Library were systematically searched through 8 December 2017. Studies were included if they assessed associations between CVAR and patient-centred outcomes in the adult cardiac surgical population. The primary outcome of this systematic review was mortality. Secondary outcomes were stroke, delirium and acute kidney injury. Risk of bias was systematically assessed, and the GRADE methodology was used to evaluate the quality of evidence across outcomes. RESULTS Eleven observational studies and no randomised controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Due to methodological heterogeneity, meta-analysis was not possible. There was a high risk of bias within individual studies and low quality of evidence across outcomes. Of the included studies, one assessed mortality, five assessed stroke, four assessed delirium, and three assessed acute kidney injury. No reliable conclusions can be drawn from the one study assessing mortality. Interpretation of studies investigating CVAR and stroke, delirium and acute kidney injury was complicated by the lack of standardisation of monitoring techniques as well as varying definitions of impaired CVAR. CONCLUSIONS There is a paucity of high quality evidence for CVAR monitoring and its associations with outcome measures in post-cardiac surgical patients, highlighting the need for future studies.

Abstract
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease. A lack of alpha-galactosidase activity results in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide in cells of various systems, leading to multi-systemic effects. The cutaneous hallmark of FD is a specific distribution of angiokeratoma. Other common symptoms include cornea verticillata, acroparesthesia, and sweating abnormalities. FD-specific symptoms, history, as well as examination of angiokeratoma can assist in the differential diagnosis. Enzyme replacement therapy is the current mainstay of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tobacco usage is the strongest risk factor in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which mandates careful screening for oral cancers in smokers. However, there are indications that oral potentially malignant lesions, such as oral epithelial dysplasia (OED), in non-smokers (NS) have a higher cancer risk than those in smokers. Without tobacco as an etiology, the development of these lesions in NS may suggest genetic susceptibility. The increasing incidence of OSCC in NS calls for a better understanding of the natural history of OED in NS as compared to that of smokers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients from a population-based longitudinal study with more than 10 years of follow up were analyzed. Of the 455 patients with primary OED (233 mild and 212 moderate dysplasia), 139 were NS and 306 were smokers. Demographic and habit information, clinical information (lesion site, size and appearance; toluidine blue and fluorescent visualization), microsatellite analysis for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and outcome (progression) were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The majority of patients with OED were smokers. Of these, more were males, non-Caucasians and heavy drinkers. A significantly higher number of OED in NS were in the tongue, whereas a significantly higher number of OED in smokers were in the floor of mouth (FOM). OED in NS showed a greater than 2-fold increase in cancer progression. Strikingly, OED located in the FOM in NS showed a 38-fold increase in cancer progression as compared to those in smokers.

Abstract
Abstract
Mutations in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) are detected in up to 30% of breast cancer patients who have relapsed during endocrine therapy. ERα mutations functionally confer resistance to existing classes of endocrine therapies, likely through gaining constitutive activity. The fact that current ER-directed therapies are only partially effective in the ERα mutant setting, and that a significant proportion of resistant breast cancer metastases continue to remain dependent on ERα signaling for growth/survival, highlights the critical need to develop the next generation of ERα antagonists that can overcome aberrant ERα activity. Using structure-based drug design approaches we have identified a novel class of ERα antagonist referred to as Selective ERα Covalent Antagonist (SERCA) that inactivate both wild-type and mutant ERα by targeting a unique cysteine residue that is not conserved among other steroid hormone receptors. Biophysical, biochemical and cellular analyses confirm the covalent mechanism of action, specific binding to ER and selective inhibition of ERα-dependent transcription of SERCAs. H3B-6545 is a highly selective SERCA that potently antagonizes wild-type and mutant ERα in biochemical and cell based assays demonstrating increased potency over standard of care and other experimental agents. In vivo, H3B-6545 shows superior efficacy to fulvestrant in the MCF-7 xenograft model with once daily oral dosing, achieving maximal antitumor activity at doses >10x below the maximum tolerated dose in mice. In addition, H3B-6545 shows superior antitumor activity to both tamoxifen and fulvestrant in patient derived xenograft models of breast cancer carrying estrogen receptor mutations. In summary, H3B-6545 is a first-in-class, orally available and selective ER covalent antagonist with a compelling pre-clinical profile that is being developed for the treatment of ERα positive breast cancer.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus is categorized as a potentially malignant condition by the World Health Organization; however, some argue that only lichen planus with dysplasia have malignant potential. Many pathologists call lichen planus with dysplasia "dysplasia with lichenoid mucositis (LM)" or "LM with dysplasia." Previous research has shown that certain high-risk patterns of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in dysplastic lesions are associated with significantly increased cancer risk. However, LM without dysplasia lacks such molecular patterns, supporting the hypothesis that LM, by itself, is not potentially malignant and that only those with dysplasia have malignant potential. To further investigate the premalignant nature of LM with dysplasia, this study compared the rate of malignant progression of dysplasia with LM with that of dysplasia without LM. Patients from a population-based prospective cohort study with >10 y of follow-up were analyzed. Study eligibility included a histological diagnosis of a primary low-grade dysplasia with or without LM. A total of 446 lesions in 446 patients met the selection criteria; 373 (84%) were classified as dysplasia without LM, while 73 (16%) were classified as dysplasia with LM. Demographic and habit information, clinical information, and outcome (progression) were compared between the 2 groups. Forty-nine of 373 cases of dysplasia (13%) progressed compared to 8% (6/73) of dysplasia with LM. However, the difference was not statistically different ( P = 0.24). The 3- and 5-y rate of progression did not differ between the groups (6.7% and 12.5% for dysplasia without LM and 2.9% and 6.6% for those with LM; P = 0.36). Progression was associated with nonsmoking, location at a high-risk site, and diagnosis of moderate dysplasia regardless of whether LM was present or not. Dysplasia with or without LM had similar cancer risk, and dysplasia should not be discounted in the presence of LM.

Abstract
Neonatal adenovirus infection is infrequent, but in most cases the outcome of the infection is fatal. In this case report we describe the hospital course of a 3 day old newborn patient presenting with bloody stools and thrombocytopenia that remained clinically stable and had a benign course following Adenovirus 40/41 infection detected in stool. Neonatal adenovirus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal sepsis and pneumonia but also in patients that present with hematochezia, thrombocytopenia and/or other less specific signs and symptoms of viral illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The radiotherapy (rt) volumes in anaplastic (atc) and differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) are controversial. METHODS We retrospectively examined the patterns of failure after postoperative intensity-modulated rt for atc and dtc. Computed tomography images were rigidly registered with the original rt plans. Recurrences were considered in-field if more than 95% of the recurrence volume received 95% of the prescribed dose, out-of-field if less than 20% received 95% of the dose, and marginal otherwise. RESULTS Of 30 dtc patients, 4 developed regional recurrence: 1 being in-field (level iii), and 3 being out-of-field (all level ii). Of 5 atc patients, all 5 recurred at 7 sites: 2 recurrences being local, and 5 being regional [2 marginal (intramuscular to the digastric and sternocleidomastoid), 3 out-of-field (retropharyngeal, soft tissues near the manubrium, and lateral to the sternocleidomastoid)]. CONCLUSIONS In dtc, locoregional recurrence is unusual after rt. Out-of-field dtc recurrences infrequently occurred in level ii. Enlarged treatment volumes to level ii must be balanced against a potentially greater risk of toxicity.
