Abstract
BACKGROUND Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) may increase service quality. In contrast, counterproductive work behavior (CWB) may undermine patient safety. Efforts to increase OCB and reduce CWB rely on a good understanding of their antecedents, yet there is a lack of research in health care to inform such endeavors. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of leadership, specifically leader-member exchange (LMX), in reducing CWB and increasing OCB in health care teams. METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Team survey data were collected from 75 teams in U.S. health services organizations. Polynomial regression and response surface analysis was used to investigate our hypotheses. RESULTS For OCB, the response surface along the line of incongruence (a3) was positive and significant, and for CWB, a3 was negative and significant. CONCLUSION The results of polynomial regression and response surface analysis indicate that OCB increases when LMX quality is high and that LMX differentiation is comparatively lower. In contrast, CWB increases when LMX differentiation is high, whereas LMX quality is lower. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS These findings provide useful suggestions to promote valuable extra-role behaviors in health care teams. Health care team leaders should aim to develop strong exchange relationships with all members if they wish to increase citizenship behavior and decrease counterproductive behavior. Building positive exchange relationships with only a few team members is likely to undermine citizenship behavior and increase counterproductive behavior.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and dose optimization have been shown to improve clinical outcomes with antitumor necrosis factor and recent studies in adults suggest an exposure-response relationship with drug levels associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, these levels are not universally recognized as therapeutic targets for vedolizumab dosing. We aimed to assess the impact of a TDM quality improvement (QI) initiative on 52-week clinical outcomes and describe proactively obtained vedolizumab levels during the induction period in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS A QI initiative to proactively obtain TDM levels at Week 6 was implemented in 2019. A retrospective review of pediatric patients with IBD treated with vedolizumab from 2018 to 2022 was performed. Baseline demographic data, medication dosing details, disease characteristics, lab results, and 12-month clinical outcomes were recorded. For this study, we defined therapeutic target levels (>20 μg/mL at Week 6 and >12 μg/mL during maintenance) based on existing data correlating these levels with improved clinical outcomes. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients (31 Crohn disease [CD], 28 ulcerative colitis [UC]/indeterminate colitis [IC]) were included in the study. In total, 68% (40/59) of patients had vedolizumab levels at Week 6 and 90% (53/59) had levels drawn at Week 6 or 14. Thirty-five percent of Week 6 trough levels were below our defined target of 20 μg/mL. Fifty-two of 59 patients had available data at 52 weeks. Over 80% (42/52) of patients remained on vedolizumab 52 weeks after initiation (CD 79% [23/29], UC/IC 83% [19/23]). Sixty-two percent (26/42) of patients that remained on vedolizumab at 52 weeks were treated with an intensified dosing interval of <8 weeks. Thirty-one of these 42 (74%) were in clinical remission (CR) rate at 52 weeks with 29/42 (69%) in corticosteroid-free remission. The CR rate for the entire cohort including those who discontinued therapy due to a lack of efficacy before 52 weeks was 60% (31/52). CONCLUSION Proactive TDM and early dose optimization with vedolizumab may improve drug durability and clinical outcomes in pediatric patients with IBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The safety, efficacy, and cost savings associated with biosimilar medications are well established. However, a lack of pediatric data exists surrounding clinical outcomes when switching from an originator to a biosimilar. Our primary aim is to evaluate clinical outcomes following a nonmedical switch from the infliximab originator to a biosimilar in children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our secondary aim is to estimate cost savings associated with this switch. METHODS A quality improvement project was implemented to establish safe switching protocols, then those patients who underwent a nonmedical switch from the infliximab originator to the biosimilar were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, physician global assessments (PGAs), and laboratory values were recorded 1 year pre- and post-switch. Continuation rates on the biosimilar were reported at 6 and 12 months. Cost savings were estimated using two different pricing models. RESULTS Fifty-three patients underwent a nonmedical switch. Laboratory values including inflammatory markers, infliximab levels, and PGA scores remained similar when assessed pre- and post-switch. No infusion reactions or antidrug antibody development occurred. Two patients reported psoriasis-like rashes. Five patients switched back to the originator during the study period. There were 379 biosimilar infusions completed with an estimated total cost savings of $11,260 (average sales price) and $566,223 (wholesale acquisition cost). CONCLUSIONS Clinical remission rates, inflammatory laboratory markers, serious adverse events, infliximab levels, and antidrug antibodies remained similar after a one-time nonmedical switch to an infliximab biosimilar. Nonmedical switching to biosimilars resulted in significant cost savings.

Abstract
There has been an increasing shift towards individually owned leader development programs within organizations. Whilst leadership coaching is one of these and is gaining in popularity, the mechanisms of its effect remain poorly understood. We develop and investigate a model in which leadership coaching enhances leader effectiveness through coaching's positive effect on authentic and change-oriented leadership behaviours as well as self-efficacy. To assess the model, multi-source data were collected for organizational leaders (N = 70) pre- and post-coaching. To investigate mechanisms of coaching's effect, relations between latent change scores were assessed in structural equation modelling using partial least squares indicating that after accounting for base-line scores, coaching-related increases in authentic leadership behaviour has the largest total effect on leadership effectiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze laboratory testing results from pediatric patients newly diagnosed with celiac disease to determine the usefulness of each test derived from recommended guidelines. METHODS Serological testing at the time of diagnosis from patients enrolled in our celiac disease registry from January 2018 through December 2021 was reviewed. The incidence of abnormal laboratory results, routinely obtained as per the recommendations of Snyder et al and our institution's Celiac Care Index, was assessed. Rates of abnormal laboratory values and estimated costs associated with these screening measures were analyzed. RESULTS Our data demonstrated abnormalities in all serological testing obtained at celiac diagnosis. Hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, ferritin, iron, and vitamin D screening were found to be abnormal with notable frequency. Only 7% of patients had an abnormal thyroid-stimulating hormone and <0.1% had an abnormal free T4. Nonresponse to hepatitis B vaccination was prominent, with 69% of patients considered nonimmune. Screening protocols as currently outlined in our Celiac Care Index resulted in an estimated cost of approximately $320 000 during our study. CONCLUSIONS Review of screening laboratory results at our center reveals that abnormal values for several recommended measures are uncommon. Thyroid screening was infrequently abnormal and the usefulness of screening for hepatitis B at diagnosis is uncertain. Similarly, our data suggest that iron deficiency screening may be condensed effectively into hemoglobin and ferritin testing, eliminating the need for initial iron studies. Decreasing baseline screening measures could safely decrease the burden of testing on patients and overall healthcare expenditures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vedolizumab for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often intensified based on distinct pharmacokinetics in children. Prior adult-specific population pharmacokinetic models have identified limited covariates of drug clearance. AIMS To establish a population pharmacokinetic model for children and young adults to identify novel covariates of drug clearance to better account for paediatric-specific inter-patient variability in vedolizumab pharmacokinetics; a key secondary exploratory aim was to identify microbial signatures of pharmacokinetic outcomes in a subset of patients. METHODS The study included data from 463 observed vedolizumab concentrations (59 peaks and 404 troughs) from 74 patients with IBD (52 with Crohn's disease and 22 with ulcerative colitis or unclassified IBD, median age 16 years). Pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted with non-linear mixed effects modelling. For the evaluation of the exposure-response relationship, clinical outcomes were evaluated by trough levels, clearance and vedolizumab exposure. Whole-genome metagenomic sequencing was conducted at baseline and week 2. RESULTS A two-compartment population pharmacokinetic model was identified with a clear correlation between CL and weight, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypoalbuminemia. Trough concentrations before infusion 3 (37 μg/ml) and before infusion 4 (20 μg/ml) best predicted steroid-free clinical remission at infusion 4. Using faecal metagenomics, we identified an early (baseline and week 2) abundance of butyrate-producing species and pathways that were associated with an infusion 4 trough concentration >20 μg/ml. CONCLUSIONS This novel paediatric vedolizumab pharmacokinetic model could inform precision dosing. While additional studies are needed, an abundance of faecal butyrate producers is associated with early response to vedolizumab, suggesting that microbial analysis may be beneficial to biological selection.

Abstract
Background Vaccination of immunocompromised children (ICC) remains suboptimal. Methods Needs assessment surveys were administered to patients and caregivers during routine ambulatory visits to the rheumatology and gastroenterology clinics at Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) from January 1 through August 31, 2018, and to community primary care physicians (PCPs) at their monthly meeting and electronically. Results Completed surveys were received for 57 patients (31 with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (c-SLE) and 26 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)) and 30 PCPs. Of the patient cohort, 93% (n = 53) felt their PCP was well informed about vaccines and 84% (n = 47) received vaccinations from either their PCP or local health department. Two patient surveys noted concerns of vaccine safety. Among the 30 responses completed by PCPs 50% (n = 15) preferred to provide all vaccines themselves, however, only 40% (n = 12) of PCPs felt "very confident" when providing vaccines to ICC. Further, 83% (n = 25) did not stock the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine and only 27% (n = 8) routinely recommended vaccination of household contacts. Conclusions Our study found a discordance between parent and PCP comfort in vaccinating ICC, highlighting an important barrier to vaccination in this patient population. In our cohort of patients, vaccine hesitancy was not a barrier to vaccination.

Abstract
Postcolectomy enteritis is characterized by diffuse small bowel inflammatory changes following colectomy for medically refractory ulcerative colitis. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, massive intestinal bleeding, intestinal perforation, and high stoma output. While the exact pathogenesis is unknown, immune dysregulation with increased cytokine and inflammatory cell response is suspected to lead to the inflammatory response. Therefore, immunosuppressive medications are the mainstay for treatment. All cases to date have been described in adult patients. We present a case of postcolectomy enteritis in a pediatric patient who improved without significant intervention.

Abstract
Care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be complex and costly. Care delivery models to address these challenges and improve care quality are essential. The patient-centered medical home (PCMH), which was developed in the primary care setting, has recently been applied successfully to the adult IBD population. Following the tenets of the PCMH, this specialty medical home (SMH) emphasizes team-based care that is accessible, comprehensive, patient/family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and continuous and has demonstrated improved patient outcomes. Children and young adults with IBD have equally complex care needs, with additional challenges not faced by the adult population such as growth, physical and psychosocial development, and transition of care from pediatric to adult providers. Thus, we advocate that the components of the PCMH are equally-if not more-important in caring for the pediatric patient population. In this article, we review what is known about the application of the PCMH model in adult IBD care, describe care delivery within the Center for Pediatric and Adolescent IBD at Nationwide Children's Hospital as an example of a pediatric IBD medical home, and propose a research agenda to further the development and dissemination of comprehensive care delivery for children and adolescents with IBD.

METHODS In total, 313 rectal RNA samples from a cohort of newly diagnosed paediatric UC patients (PROTECT) were analysed by a real-time PCR microfluidic array for expression of type 1, 2 and 17 inflammation genes. Associations between expression and clinical outcomes were assessed by logistic regression. Identified prognostic markers were further analysed using existing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data sets and tissue immunostaining. RESULTS IL13RA2 was associated with a lower likelihood of corticosteroid-free remission (CSFR) on mesalamine at week 52 (p = .002). A model including IL13RA2 and only baseline clinical parameters was as accurate as an established clinical model, which requires week 4 remission status. RORC was associated with a lower likelihood of colectomy by week 52. A model including RORC and PUCAI predicted colectomy by 52 weeks (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.71). Bulk RNA-seq identified IL13RA2 and RORC as hub genes within UC outcome-associated expression networks related to extracellular matrix and innate immune response, and lipid metabolism and microvillus assembly, respectively. Adult UC single-cell RNA-seq data revealed IL13RA2 and RORC co-expressed genes were localized to inflammatory fibroblasts and undifferentiated epithelial cells, respectively, which was supported by protein immunostaining. CONCLUSION Targeted assessment of rectal mucosal immune gene expression predicts 52-week CSFR in treatment-naïve paediatric UC patients. Further exploration of IL-13Rɑ2 as a therapeutic target in UC and future studies of the epithelial-specific role of RORC in UC pathogenesis are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (anti-TNFs) are a primary treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. Pharmaceutical expenditures and usage of specialty drugs are increasing. In the United States, biosimilars continue to be underutilized, despite opportunities for health care cost savings. Through quality improvement (QI) methodology, we aimed to increase biosimilar utilization among eligible patients initiating intravenous (IV) anti-TNF therapy and describe patient outcomes and associated cost savings. METHODS Beginning in July 2019, all patients initiating IV anti-TNF therapy were identified and tracked. Using the Institute of Healthcare Improvement Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, a four-stage problem-solving model used for carrying out change, we trialed interventions to increase biosimilar utilization, including provider, staff, and family education, and utilization of a clinical pharmacist and insurance specialist. Statistical process control charts were used to show improvement over time. Patients' clinical outcome and cost savings were reviewed. RESULTS Using QI methodology, we increased biosimilar utilization from a baseline of 1% in June 2019 to 96% by February 2021, with sustained improvement. The originator (infliximab) was the insurance company's preferred product for 20 patients (20%). Patient outcomes (IV anti-TNF levels, absence of antidrug antibodies, and physician global assessment) between biosimilars and originators were similar. Estimated cost savings over the project duration were nearly $381,000 (average sales price) and $651,000 (wholesale acquisition cost). CONCLUSIONS Through QI methodology, we increased biosimilar utilization from 1% to 96% with sustained improvement, without compromising patient outcomes or safety. Estimated cost savings were substantial. Similar methodology could be implemented at other institutions to increase biosimilar utilization and potentially decrease health care costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibodies to infliximab (ATI) are associated with secondary loss of response and increased risk for drug reactions. Limited studies have associated ATI with increased infliximab clearance. AIMS We assessed the impact of ATI on infliximab clearance and loss of response in an inception paediatric Crohn's disease cohort with 1-year follow-up. METHODS This multi-centre prospective cohort study collected peak and trough serum infliximab/ATI concentrations from 660 infusions (78 patients) during the first year of therapy. Clinicians were blinded to these research labs. The primary outcome was the difference in infliximab clearance between ATI-positive (ATI) and ATI-negative (no-ATI) patients. Secondary outcomes included pre-treatment predictors of ATI (including HLA-DQA1 genotyping). Clinical remission, loss of response and infliximab clearance were compared between pre-ATI, during ATI and following ATI resolution with MANOVA. Time to ATI was calculated by Cox proportional Hazards model. RESULTS ATI were detected in 68% (53/78) patients with a median concentration of 76 ng/mL (range 23-1828). Maximum ATI concentration was <200 ng/mL in 73.6% (39/53). Median clearance in ATI patients was higher (with higher clearance if loss of response), compared to no-ATI patients (P < 0.001). Neutrophil CD64 ratio >6 and starting dose <7.5 mg/kg independently predicted ATI in multivariable regression, while HLA-DQA1*05 presence did not. Dose adjustment resolved ATI in 37.5% (12/32) patients with concomitant infliximab concentration and clearance recovery. A maximum ATI level of ≤99 ng/mL predicted ATI resolution (area under the receiver operating curve 0.80 [95% CI 0.64-0.96]). CONCLUSIONS In this real-world cohort, ATI as low as 23 ng/mL impacted drug clearance. Our data suggest that dose optimisation for low-level ATI can improve infliximab clearance and prevent loss of response.

Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate interrelations between enhanced emotional intelligence, leadership self-efficacy and task-oriented leadership behaviour following participation in leadership coaching.Design/methodology/approachOrganisational leaders (coachees) (N = 70) and their subordinates (N = 175) completed online questionnaires pre- and post-coaching. To account for pre-coaching scores, construct latent change scores were assessed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsResults indicate a positive association between enhanced emotional intelligence and leadership self-efficacy, however, little support was found for leadership self-efficacy as a mediator explaining an association between enhanced emotional intelligence and task-oriented leadership behaviour.Practical implicationsOrganisations aiming to improve leader performance through enhancing emotional intelligence and leadership self-efficacy may find value in leadership coaching due to the intervention's positive effect on these constructs, and the positive association observed between developmental changes in these constructs.Originality/valueResearch on the interrelation between emotional intelligence and leadership self-efficacy is scarce. This study extends the literature by investigating the interrelation between developmental changes between these constructs brought about by leadership coaching using latent change scores and PLS-SEM. The study also assesses whether enhanced leadership self-efficacy mediates an association between enhanced emotional intelligence and task-oriented leadership behaviour building on the literature explaining coaching's effect mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Vedolizumab is increasingly used off-label to treat children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In the absence of rigorous clinical trial experience, multicenter observational data are important to establish expectations for efficacy and safety. We examined 1-year outcomes following vedolizumab therapy in a large multicenter pediatric IBD cohort. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 159 pediatric patients (4-17 years old) with IBD [78, Crohn disease (CD); 81, ulcerative colitis/IBD-unspecified (UC/IBD-U)] treated with vedolizumab for 1 year at 8 pediatric medical centers in the United States. Demographics, clinical outcomes, laboratory data, and vedolizumab dosing were recorded. The primary outcome was corticosteroid (CS)-free clinical remission at 1 year. Other measured outcomes were clinical remission at 12 and/or 24 weeks, laboratory outcomes at 1 year, and endoscopy/histology results at 1 year. Results Among the 159 patients (mean age, 14.5 ± 2.4 years; 86% anti-TNF experienced), 68/159 (43%) achieved CS-free clinical remission at 1 year (CD, 35/78, 45%; UC/IBD-U, 33/81, 40%). Vedolizumab therapy failed and was discontinued in 33/159 (21%) patients prior to 1 year (CD, 18/78, 23%; UC/IBD-U, 15/81, 19%). While week 12 clinical remission was not predictive of 1-year clinical remission in either CD or UC/IBD-U, week 24 clinical remission was predictive of 1-year clinical remission only in CD patients. No infusion reactions or serious side effects were noted. Conclusions Vedolizumab was safe and effective in this pediatric population with approximately 43% achieving CS-free clinical remission at 1 year. Similar efficacy was noted in both CD and UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Develop a clinical and biological predictive model for colectomy risk in children newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS This was a multicenter inception cohort study of children (ages 4-17 years) newly diagnosed with UC treated with standardized initial regimens of mesalamine or corticosteroids (CS) depending upon initial disease severity. Therapy escalation to immunomodulators or infliximab was based on predetermined criteria. Patients were phenotyped by clinical activity per the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), disease extent, endoscopic/histologic severity, and laboratory markers. In addition, RNA sequencing defined pretreatment rectal gene expression and high density DNA genotyping by the Affymetrix UK Biobank Axiom Array. Coprimary outcomes were colectomy over 3 years and time to colectomy. Generalized linear models, Cox proportional hazards multivariate regression modeling, and Kaplan-Meier plots were used. RESULTS Four hundred twenty-eight patients (mean age 13 years) started initial theapy with mesalamine (n = 136), oral CS (n = 144), or intravenous CS (n = 148). Twenty-five (6%) underwent colectomy at ≤1 year, 33 (9%) at ≤2 years, and 35 (13%) at ≤3 years. Further, 32/35 patients who had colectomy failed infliximab. An initial PUCAI ≥ 65 was highly associated with colectomy (P = 0.0001). A logistic regression model predicting colectomy using the PUCAI, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate had a receiver operating characteristic area under the curve of 0.78 (95% confidence interval [0.73, 0.84]). Addition of a pretreatment rectal gene expression panel reflecting activation of the innate immune system and response to external stimuli and bacteria to the clinical model improved the receiver operating characteristic area under the curve to 0.87 (95% confidence interval [0.82, 0.91]). CONCLUSIONS A small group of children newly diagnosed with severe UC still require colectomy despite current therapies. Our gene signature observations suggest additional targets for management of those patients not responding to current medical therapies.

Abstract
Multidisciplinary care is essential to the delivery of comprehensive, whole-person care for children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Team members may include medical, psychosocial, and ancillary providers as well as patient and family advocates. There is significant variability in how this care is delivered from center to center, though prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, most care occurred during in-person visits. At the onset of the pandemic, medical systems world-wide were challenged to continue delivering high quality, comprehensive care, requiring many centers to turn to telemedicine technology. The aim of this manuscript is to describe the process by which we converted our multidisciplinary pediatric and adolescent IBD visits to a telemedicine model by leveraging technology, a multidisciplinary team, and quality improvement (QI) methods. Finally, we put our experience into context by summarizing the literature on telemedicine in IBD care, with a focus on pediatrics and multidisciplinary care.

Abstract
Standard-of-care infliximab dosing regimens were developed prior to the routine use of therapeutic drug monitoring and identification of target concentrations. Not surprisingly, subtherapeutic infliximab concentrations in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) are common. The primary aim was to conduct a real-world pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation to discover blood biomarkers of rapid clearance, identify exposure targets, and a secondary aim to translate PK modeling to the clinic. In a multicenter observational study, 671 peak and trough infliximab concentrations from 78 patients with CD were analyzed with a drug-tolerant assay (Esoterix; LabCorp, Calabasas, CA). Individual area under the curve (AUC) estimates were generated as a measure of drug exposure over time. Population PK modeling (nonlinear mixed-effect modeling) identified serum albumin, antibody to infliximab, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and neutrophil CD64 as biomarkers for drug clearance. Week 14 and week 52 biochemical remitters (fecal calprotectin < 250 µg/g) had higher infliximab exposure (AUC) throughout induction. The optimal infliximab AUC target during induction for week 14 biochemical remission was 79,348 µg*h/mL (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) 0.77, [0.63-0.90], 85.7% sensitive, and 64.3% specific) with those exceeding the AUC target more likely to achieve a surgery-free week 52 biochemical remission (OR 4.3, [1.2-14.6]). Pretreatment predictors for subtherapeutic week 14 AUC included neutrophil CD64 > 6 (OR 4.5, [1.4-17.8]), ESR > 30 mm/h (OR 3.8, [1.4-11]), age < 10 years old (OR 4.2, [1.2-20]), and weight < 30 kg (OR 6.6, [2.1-25]). We created a decision-support PK dashboard with an iterative process and embedded the modeling program within the electronic health record. Model-informed precision dosing guided by real-world PKs is now available at the bedside in real-time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cessation of statural growth occurs with radiographic closure of the growth plates, radiographically defined as bone age (BA) 15 years in females and 17 in males. METHODS We determined the frequency of continued growth and compared the total height gain beyond the time of expected growth plate closure and the chronological age at achievement of final adult height in Crohn's disease (CD) vs ulcerative colitis (UC) and described height velocity curves in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with children in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We identified all females older than chronological age (CA) 15 years and males older than CA 17 years with CD or UC in the ImproveCareNow registry who had height documented at ≥3 visits ≥6 months apart. RESULTS Three thousand seven patients (48% female; 76% CD) qualified. Of these patients, 80% manifested continued growth, more commonly in CD (81%) than UC (75%; P = 0.0002) and in females with CD (83%) than males with CD (79%; P = 0.012). Median height gain was greater in males with CD (1.6 cm) than in males with UC (1.3 cm; P = 0.0004), and in females with CD (1.8 cm) than in females with UC (1.5 cm; P = 0.025). Height velocity curves were shifted to the right in patients with IBD vs NHANES. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients with IBD frequently continue to grow beyond the time of expected growth plate closure. Unexpectedly, a high proportion of patients with UC exhibited continued growth, indicating delayed BA is also common in UC. Growth, a dynamic marker of disease status, requires continued monitoring even after patients transition from pediatric to adult care.

Abstract
PurposeUsing the theoretical lens of the behavioural perspective on HRM, this study examined a mediated model to understand the extent to which organisational factors such as supportive human resource management policies and practices (SHRPP) and organisational climate (OC) can influence the affective attitudes of HR managers towards promoting women into organisational leadership roles. Survey data collected from 182 human resource managers in Bangladesh were analysed using partial least squares–based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and the PROCESS macro to test mediating effects. The results reveal that the adoption of SHRPP is positively associated with OC, which in turn shapes the attitudes of HR managers leading to implementing unbiased promotional practices for organisational leadership roles.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative survey data collected from 182 human resource managers in Bangladesh were analysed using PLS-SEM and PROCESS macro.FindingsThe results reveal that the adoption of SHRPP is positively associated with OC which in turn shapes the attitudes of HR managers leading to implementing unbiased promotional practices for organisational leadership roles.Research limitations/implicationsSelf-report, cross-sectional survey data may contribute to the methodological bias such as common method bias (CMB). Harman's single-factor test revealed that no single component explained a major portion of the total variance. Furthermore, partial correlational analysis using a marker variable coupled with an assessment of social desirability indicates that common method variance is unlikely to have any CMB risks to the validity of the study results.Practical implicationsFrom a practical point of view, the findings of this study suggest that supportive HR practices may create a positive organisational climate that leads to creating a healthy work environment ensuring an equal opportunity for everyone to grow and excel irrespective of their socio-cultural backgrounds and gender identity; thus, facilitating the organisation to take advantage of creativity and innovation offered by their talents, a critical factor for the organisation to survive and flourish in the dynamic market.Social implicationsThe study findings provide insights into why organisations should adopt fair and transparent HR policies to create a congenial work climate impacting on positive social attitudes towards acceptance of a gender-balanced empowered society.Originality/valueTo the best of author's knowledge, this is the first study that examined a mediated model to understand how organisational factors such as SHRPP and OC can impact on the affective attitudes of HR managers towards promoting women in the organisational leadership roles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe quality improvement efforts to reduce variability in the care of children diagnosed with celiac disease through use of an institutional patient registry and a chronic care index. STUDY DESIGN An institutional patient registry tracked rates of follow-up visits and repeat serologic testing. A Celiac Care Index that included anthropometrics, biopsy expectations, dietician consultation, and baseline laboratory evaluation was developed to standardize evaluation at diagnosis. Provider education sessions communicated expectations for this standard of care and order sets within the electronic medical record simplified test collection. Data was recorded and reviewed weekly and structured communications with providers were provided biweekly. RESULTS Adherence with follow-up expectations (77%-89% P = .03) and repeat serologic testing (50%-90% P < .0001) significantly increased during the study period. Adherence with completion of the Celiac Care Index resulted in significant improvement in obtaining complete blood count (80%-98% P < .0001), iron (25%-78% P < .0001), ferritin (34%-80% P < .0001), alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (74%-96% P < .0001), thyroid-stimulating hormone (64%-90% P < .0001), vitamin D (36%-83% P < .0001), and hepatitis B immune status (30%-80% P < .0001). Iron deficiency demonstrated by low ferritin levels was common (41%) and a high rate of nonimmunity to hepatitis B (70%) was detected. CONCLUSIONS The Celiac Care Index improved adherence with published care recommendations and reduced variability in baseline evaluation at diagnosis. Laboratory test results indicate further studies are needed to evaluate these recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Viral infections have been suggested as possible triggers for the onset of ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We employed VirCapSeq-Vert, a high-throughput sequencing virus capture platform, to examine the stool virome of children with newly diagnosed moderate to severe UC. We surveyed fecal samples collected at presentation, after symptom remission, and from a control group diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. RESULTS Seventy subjects with UC (mean age 13 years, 45 had moderate symptoms, 25 had severe, 69 of 70 had a Mayo endoscopy subscore 2/3) were studied. We detected a wide range of animal viruses that were taxonomically classified into 12 viral families. A virus was present in 50% of fecal samples collected at presentation, 41% of samples collected after remission, and 40% of samples in our control group. The most frequently identified viruses were diet-based gyroviruses. The UC cohort had a significantly higher prevalence of anelloviruses compared with the control cohort. However, we did not identify a single virus that can be implicated in the onset of UC and did not find an association between UC disease severity and viral presence. CONCLUSION Presence of virus in stool was not associated with the onset of pediatric UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lack of evidence-based outcomes data leads to uncertainty in developing treatment regimens in children who are newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. We hypothesised that pretreatment clinical, transcriptomic, and microbial factors predict disease course. METHODS In this inception cohort study, we recruited paediatric patients aged 4-17 years with newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis from 29 centres in the USA and Canada. Patients initially received standardised mesalazine or corticosteroids, with pre-established criteria for escalation to immunomodulators (ie, thiopurines) or anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) therapy. We used RNA sequencing to define rectal gene expression before treatment, and 16S sequencing to characterise rectal and faecal microbiota. The primary outcome was week 52 corticosteroid-free remission with no therapy beyond mesalazine. We assessed factors associated with the primary outcome using logistic regression models of the per-protocol population. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01536535. FINDINGS Between July 10, 2012, and April 21, 2015, of 467 patients recruited, 428 started medical therapy, of whom 400 (93%) were evaluable at 52 weeks and 386 (90%) completed the study period with no protocol violations. 150 (38%) of 400 participants achieved week 52 corticosteroid-free remission, of whom 147 (98%) were taking mesalazine and three (2%) were taking no medication. 74 (19%) of 400 were escalated to immunomodulators alone, 123 (31%) anti-TNFα therapy, and 25 (6%) colectomy. Low baseline clinical severity, high baseline haemoglobin, and week 4 clinical remission were associated with achieving week 52 corticosteroid-free remission (n=386, logistic model area under the curve [AUC] 0·70, 95% CI 0·65-0·75; specificity 77%, 95% CI 71-82). Baseline severity and remission by week 4 were validated in an independent cohort of 274 paediatric patients with newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis. After adjusting for clinical predictors, an antimicrobial peptide gene signature (odds ratio [OR] 0·57, 95% CI 0·39-0·81; p=0·002) and abundance of Ruminococcaceae (OR 1·43, 1·02-2·00; p=0·04), and Sutterella (OR 0·81, 0·65-1·00; p=0·05) were independently associated with week 52 corticosteroid-free remission. INTERPRETATION Our findings support the utility of initial clinical activity and treatment response by 4 weeks to predict week 52 corticosteroid-free remission with mesalazine alone in children who are newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. The development of personalised clinical and biological signatures holds the promise of informing ulcerative colitis therapeutic decisions. FUNDING US National Institutes of Health.

BACKGROUND Shortages of skills needed to deliver optimal health care in rural and remote locations raises questions about using extended scopes of practice or advanced practice models in a range of health professions. The nurse practitioner (NP) model was introduced to address health service gaps; however, its sustainability has been questioned, while other extended scope of practice roles have not progressed in Australia. This study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of NPs and their colleagues about barriers to and enablers of extended scope of practice and consider the relevance of the findings to other health professions. METHODS Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with primary, nurse practitioner informants, who were also invited to nominate up to two colleagues, as secondary informants. Data analysis was guided by a multi-level, socio-institutional lens of macro-, meso- and micro-perspectives. RESULTS Fifteen primary informants and five colleagues were interviewed from various rural and remote locations. There was a fairly even distribution of informants across primary, aged, chronic and emergency or critical care roles. Key barriers and enablers at each level of analysis were identified. At the macro-level were legal, regulatory, and economic barriers and enablers, as well as job availability. The meso-level concerned local health service and community factors, such as attitudes and support from managers and patients. The micro-level relates to day-to-day practice. Role clarity was of considerable importance, along with embedded professional hierarchies and traditional role expectations influencing interactions with individual colleagues. Given a lack of understanding of NP scope of practice, NPs often had to expend effort promoting and advocating for their roles. CONCLUSIONS For communities to benefit from extended scope of practice models of health service delivery, energy needs to be directed towards addressing legislative and regulatory barriers. To be successful, extended scope of practice roles must be promoted with managers and decision-makers, who may have limited understanding of the clinical importance. Support is also important from other members of the interprofessional health care team.

Abstract
Evaluating progression risk and determining optimal therapy for ulcerative colitis (UC) is challenging as many patients exhibit incomplete responses to treatment. As part of the PROTECT (Predicting Response to Standardized Colitis Therapy) Study, we evaluated the role of the gut microbiome in disease course for 405 pediatric, new-onset, treatment-naive UC patients. Patients were monitored for 1 year upon treatment initiation, and microbial taxonomic composition was analyzed from fecal samples and rectal biopsies. Depletion of core gut microbes and expansion of bacteria typical of the oral cavity were associated with baseline disease severity. Remission and refractory disease were linked to species-specific temporal changes that may be implicative of therapy efficacy, and a pronounced increase in microbiome variability was observed prior to colectomy. Finally, microbial associations with disease-associated serological markers suggest host-microbial interactions in UC. These insights will help improve existing treatments and develop therapeutic approaches guiding optimal medical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Up to 30% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) require surgery within the first 5 years from diagnosis. We investigated the recent risk of bowel surgery in an inception cohort of pediatric patients with CD and whether early use of biologics (tumor necrosis factor antagonists) alters later disease course. METHODS We collected data from the Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative Research Group registry on 1442 children (age, ≤16 y) diagnosed with CD from January 2002 through December 2014. Data were collected at diagnosis, 30 days following diagnosis, and then quarterly and during hospitalizations for up to 12 years. Our primary aim was to determine the 10-year risk for surgery in children with CD. Our secondary aim was to determine whether early use of biologics (<3 mo of diagnosis) affected risk of disease progression. RESULTS The 10-year risk of first bowel surgery was 26%. The 5-year risk of bowel surgery did not change from 2002 through 2014, and remained between 13% and 14%. Most surgeries occurred within 3 years from diagnosis. The only predictor of surgery was disease behavior at diagnosis. CD with inflammatory behavior had the lowest risk of surgery compared to stricturing disease, penetrating disease, or both. We associated slowing of disease progression to stricturing or penetrating disease (but not surgery) with early use of biologics, but this effect only became evident after 5 years of disease. Our results indicate that biologics slow disease progression over time (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.76-0.95). CONCLUSIONS In an analysis of data from a registry of pediatric patients with CD, we found that among those with significant and progressing disease at or shortly after presentation, early surgery is difficult to prevent, even with early use of biologics. Early use of biologics (<3 mo of diagnosis) can delay later disease progression to stricturing and/or penetrating disease, but this affect could become evident only years after initial management decisions are made.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapies are effective treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, infections, psoriasis, and eczema are potential manifestations. Descriptions of these are limited. Our aim was to characterize these skin manifestations in children with IBD on anti-TNF therapy. METHODS Our study is a retrospective review of IBD patients ranging in age from 6 to 18 years who were treated with anti-TNFs from 2010-2015. Data collected included demographics, clinical information, anti-TNF therapy used, and whether patients developed skin manifestations and their type of complication, clinical interventions, and outcomes. RESULTS Of the 409 patients analyzed, 47 (11.4%) developed dermatologic manifestations (39 CD, 8 UC/IC). Among these 47 patients, there were 72 manifestations of infections (28/72; 38.9%), psoriasis (33/72; 45.8%), and eczema (10/72; 13.9%). There was no significant difference between patients with CD and UC/IC in the type of manifestation. Children on infliximab experienced an increased risk of psoriasis than those on adalimumab (P = 0.05). A greater percentage of female patients developed a skin manifestation (28/47; 60%). The majority of patients with a skin manifestation were able to continue the current anti-TNF regimen. Amongst the patients that developed psoriasis, 60% did not require change in anti-TNF therapy. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest study analyzing anti-TNF related skin manifestations in a pediatric IBD cohort. Psoriasiform lesions were the most prevalent dermatological manifestation, and females experienced more reactions than males. Most patients were able to continue their anti-TNF therapy. However, if a change was required, it was most likely among those who developed psoriasis and required either a dose or interval change, different anti-TNF medication, or a medication class change.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genetic contributions to pediatric onset ulcerative colitis (UC), characterized by severe disease and extensive colonic involvement, are largely unknown. In adult onset UC, Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) has identified numerous loci, most of which have a modest susceptibility risk (OR 0.84-1.14), with the exception of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region on Chromosome 6 (OR 3.59). METHOD To study the genetic contribution to exclusive pediatric onset UC, a GWAS was performed on 466 cases with 2099 healthy controls using UK Biobank array. SNP2HLA was used to impute classical HLA alleles and their corresponding amino acids, and the results are compared with adult onset UC. RESULTS HLA explained the almost entire association signal, dominated with 191 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (p = 5 x 10-8 to 5 x 10-10). Although very small effects, established SNPs in adult onset UC loci had similar direction and magnitude in pediatric onset UC. SNP2HLA imputation identified HLA-DRB1*0103 (odds ratio [OR] = 6.941, p = 1.92*10-13) as the most significant association for pediatric UC compared with adult onset UC (OR = 3.59). Further conditioning showed independent effects for HLA-DRB1*1301 (OR = 2.25, p = 7.92*10-9) and another SNP rs17188113 (OR = 0.48, p = 7.56*10-9). Two HLA-DRB1 causal alleles are shared with adult onset UC, while at least 2 signals are unique to pediatric UC. Subsequent stratified analyses indicated that HLA-DRB1*0103 has stronger association for extensive disease (E4: OR = 8.28, p = 4.66x10-10) and female gender (OR = 8.85, p = 4.82x10-13). CONCLUSION In pediatric onset UC, the HLA explains almost the entire genetic associations. In addition, the HLA association is approximately twice as strong in pediatric UC compared with adults, due to a combination of novel and shared effects. We speculate the paramount importance of antigenic stimulation either by infectious or noninfectious stimuli as a causal event in pediatric UC onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D regulates intestinal epithelial and immune functions, and vitamin D receptor deficiency increases the severity of murine colitis. Bioavailable 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is available to target tissues and may be a driver of immune function. The aim is to evaluate the relationship of bioavailable 25(OH)D to the clinical expression of treatment naive pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS The PROTECT (Predicting Response to Standardized Pediatric Colitis Therapy) study enrolled children ≤17 years newly diagnosed with UC. Free and total 25(OH)D were directly measured and 25(OH)D fractions were compared with disease activity measures. RESULTS Data were available on 388 subjects, mean age 12.7 years, 49% female, 84% with extensive/pancolitis. The median (IQR) total 25(OH)D concentration was 28.5 (23.9, 34.8) ng/mL, and 57% of subjects demonstrated insufficient vitamin D status (25(OH)D < 30 ng/mL). We found no evidence of association between total 25(OH)D and disease activity. Regression models adjusted for age, sex, race, and ethnicity demonstrated that an increase from 25th to 75th percentile for bioavailable and free 25(OH)D were associated with a mean (95th CI) decrease in the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) of -8.7 (-13.7, -3.6) and -3.1 (-5.0, -1.2), respectively. No associations were detected between 25(OH)D fractions and fecal calprotectin or Mayo endoscopy score. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D insufficiency is highly prevalent in children with newly diagnosed UC. We found associations of free and bioavailable, but not total 25(OH)D, with PUCAI. Bioavailable vitamin D may contribute to UC pathophysiology and clinical activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous retrospective studies of paediatric ulcerative colitis have had limited ability to describe disease progression and identify predictors of treatment response. In this study, we aimed to identify characteristics associated with outcomes following standardised therapy after initial diagnosis. METHODS The PROTECT multicentre inception cohort study was based at 29 centres in the USA and Canada and included paediatric patients aged 4-17 years who were newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Guided by the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), patients received initial standardised treatment with mesalazine (PUCAI 10-30) oral corticosteroids (PUCAI 35-60), or intravenous corticosteroids (PUCAI ≥65). The key outcomes for this analysis were week 12 corticosteroid-free remission, defined as PUCAI less than 10 and taking only mesalazine, and treatment escalation during the 12 study weeks to anti-tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) agents, immunomodulators, or colectomy among those initially treated with intravenous corticosteroids. We identified independent predictors of outcome through multivariable logistic regression using a per-protocol approach. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01536535. FINDINGS Patients were recruited between July 10, 2012, and April 21, 2015. 428 children initiated mesalazine (n=136), oral corticosteroids (n=144), or intravenous corticosteroids (n=148). Initial mean PUCAI was 31·1 (SD 13·3) in children initiating with mesalazine, 50·4 (13·8) in those initiating oral corticosteroids, and 66·9 (13·7) in those initiating intravenous corticosteroids (p<0·0001 for between-group comparison). Week 12 outcome data were available for 132 patients who initiated with mesalazine, 141 with oral corticosteroids, and 143 with intravenous corticosteroids. Corticosteroid-free remission with the patient receiving mesalazine treatment only at 12 weeks was achieved by 64 (48%) patients in the mesalazine group, 47 (33%) in the oral corticosteroid group, and 30 (21%) in the intravenous corticosteroid group (p<0·0001). Treatment escalation was required by nine (7%) patients in the mesalazine group, 21 (15%) in the oral corticosteroid group, and 52 (36%) in the intravenous corticosteroid group (p<0·0001). Eight patients, all of whom were initially treated with intravenous corticosteroids, underwent colectomy. Predictors of week 12 corticosteroid-free remission were baseline PUCAI less than 35 (odds ratio 2·44, 95% CI 1·41-4·22; p=0·0015), higher baseline albumin by 1 g/dL increments among children younger than 12 years (4·05, 1·90-8·64; p=0·00030), and week 4 remission (6·26, 3·79-10·35; p<0·0001). Predictors of treatment escalation by week 12 in patients initially treated with intravenous corticosteroids included baseline total Mayo score of 11 or higher (2·59, 0·93-7·21; p=0·068 [retained in model due to clinical relevance]), rectal biopsy eosinophil count less than or equal to 32 cells per high power field (4·55, 1·62-12·78; p=0·0040), rectal biopsy surface villiform changes (3·05, 1·09-8·56; p=0·034), and not achieving week 4 remission (30·28, 6·36-144·20; p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Our findings provide guidelines to assess the response of children newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis to standardised initial therapy and identify predictors of treatment response and failure. These data suggest that additional therapeutic interventions might be warranted to improve early outcomes, especially in patients presenting with severe disease and requiring intravenous corticosteroids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transition from pediatric to adult health care is a vulnerable period for adolescents and young adults. Challenges include paucity of validated measures to assess patients' transition readiness. We evaluated the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) in adolescents and young adults with rheumatic, gastrointestinal, and endocrine disorders. We examined whether baseline TRAQ scores and other demographic variables predicted transition to adult care over a three year follow up period. METHODS In this descriptive study at a single institution, eighty-nine adolescents at a single pediatric academic medical center completed demographic and medical history surveys and the TRAQ and were followed over 3 years by telephone interview to determine whether they had transitioned to adult subspecialty care. Transition was defined as attending at least one adult subspecialty appointment. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to determine whether TRAQ scores predicted time to transition. RESULTS Of the participants, 56% had rheumatic, 21% endocrine, and 23% gastrointestinal conditions. The TRAQ self-management domain score was not significantly associated with age, gender, socioeconomic status, or specialty. The TRAQ self-advocacy score increased with age. Baseline TRAQ scores did not predict transition or time to transition over three years. CONCLUSION In this cohort of adolescents and young adults who were 16 to 23 years of age at enrollment, 48% transitioned to adult care over three years of follow up. Nearly half reported not discussing transition with provider or seeing provider independently for part of visit. Older age but not other demographic variables nor baseline TRAQ score predicted transition or time to transition to an adult subspecialty provider; however, a there was a trend towards shorter time to transition with the highest quartile TRAQ scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune disorder. Efficient identification of patients may improve chronic management of the disease. Prior studies have shown searching International Classification of Diseases-9 (ICD-9) codes alone is inaccurate for identifying patients with CD. In this study, we developed automated classification algorithms leveraging pathology reports and other clinical data in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to refine the subset population preselected using ICD-9 code (579.0). MATERIALS AND METHODS EHRs were searched for established ICD-9 code (579.0) suggesting CD, based on which an initial identification of cases was obtained. In addition, laboratory results for tissue transglutaminse were extracted. Using natural language processing we analyzed pathology reports from upper endoscopy. Twelve machine learning classifiers using different combinations of variables related to ICD-9 CD status, laboratory result status, and pathology reports were experimented to find the best possible CD classifier. Ten-fold cross-validation was used to assess the results. RESULTS A total of 1498 patient records were used including 363 confirmed cases and 1135 false positive cases that served as controls. Logistic model based on both clinical and pathology report features produced the best results: Kappa of 0.78, F1 of 0.92, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.94, whereas in contrast using ICD-9 only generated poor results: Kappa of 0.28, F1 of 0.75, and AUC of 0.63. CONCLUSION Our automated classification system presented an efficient and reliable way to improve the performance of CD patient identification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS It is important to determine the effects of immunomodulators on the ability of children to remain on infliximab therapy for Crohn's disease (durability of therapy), given the potential benefits and risks of concomitant therapy-especially with thiopurines in male patients. We investigated how immunomodulatory treatment affects the durability of infliximab therapy. METHODS We collected data from the Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative Research Group Registry, from January 2002 through August 2014, on 502 children with Crohn's disease who participated in a prospective multicenter study. Data were collected from patients who received at least a 3-dose induction regimen of infliximab, and their concomitant use of immunomodulators: no thiopurine or methotrexate treatment, treatment for 6 months or less during infliximab therapy, or treatment for more than 6 months during infliximab therapy. RESULTS The probabilities (± standard error) that children remained on infliximab therapy for 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years after the treatment began were 0.84 ± 0.02, 0.69 ± 0.03, and 0.60 ± 0.03, respectively. Age, sex, and disease extent or location did not affect the durability of infliximab therapy. Greater length of concomitant use of immunomodulators was associated with increased time of infliximab therapy. The probability that patients with more than 6 months of immunomodulator use remained on infliximab therapy for 5 years was 0.70 ± 0.04, compared with 0.48 ± 0.08 for patients who did not receive immunomodulators and 0.55 ± 0.06 for patients who received immunomodulators for 6 months or less (P < .001). In boys who received immunomodulators for 6 months or more after starting infliximab, the overall durability of infliximab therapy was greater among patients receiving methotrexate than thiopurine (P < .01); the probabilities that they remained on infliximab therapy for 5 years were 0.97 ± 0.03 vs 0.58 ± 0.08, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In children with Crohn's disease, concomitant treatment with an immunomodulator for more than 6 months after starting infliximab therapy increases the chances that patients will remain on infliximab. In boys, methotrexate appears to increase the durability of infliximab therapy compared with thiopurine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ireland has the highest rate of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) isolated from blood of nosocomial patients in Europe, which rose from 33% (110/330) in 2007 to 45% (178/392) in 2012. No other European country had a VREfm rate from blood cultures of >25%. Our aim was to elucidate the reasons for this significantly higher rate in Ireland. METHODS The epidemiology and molecular typing of VRE from bloodstream infections (BSIs) was examined in a tertiary care referral hospital and isolates were compared with those from other tertiary care referral centres in the region. RESULTS The most common source of VRE BSIs was intra-abdominal sepsis, followed by line-related infection and febrile neutropenia. Most of the isolates were positive for vanA; 52% (43/83) possessed the esp gene and 12% (10/83) possessed the hyl gene. Genotyping by SmaI macrorestriction analysis (PFGE) of isolates revealed clonal relatedness between bloodstream isolates and environmental isolates. VRE BSI isolates from two other tertiary care hospitals in the Dublin region showed relatedness by PFGE analysis. MLST revealed four STs (ST17, ST18, ST78 and ST203), all belonging to the clonal complex of hospital-associated strains. CONCLUSIONS Irish VRE BSI isolates have virulence factor profiles as previously reported from Europe. Typing analysis shows the spread of individual clones within the hospital and between regional tertiary care hospitals. Apart from transmission of VRE within the hospital and transfer of colonized patients between Irish hospitals, no other explanation for the persistently high VREfm BSI rate in Ireland has been found.

Abstract
Transformational leadership has consistently been argued to enhance team innovation, yet related research has generated ambiguous findings. We suggest that our understanding of leader impact on innovation would benefit from explicitly recognizing both group- and individual-focused transformational leadership dimensions and their distinct effects on team and individual innovation. In particular, we predict a novel contrasting effect in which group-focused transformational leader behavior has a positive impact on team innovation but a negative impact on individual innovation. We further argue that this divergence in leader effect is strengthened by task interdependence, which enhances the negative effects of group-level transformational leadership on individual innovation. Data from 195 members of 56 teams support our predicted pathways, which contribute to a clearer understanding of the complex, multilevel effects of leadership in innovation in teams, and highlight the importance of differentiating between team and individual leader dimensions and outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) represents a significant healthcare challenge. Patients may suffer multiple episodes of CDI with the index strain (relapse) or become infected by another strain acquired nosocomially (reinfection). AIM We aimed to characterize C. difficile isolates causing recurrent CDI at a tertiary referral hospital by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to assess strain similarities at the highest level of genetic resolution and accurately detect relapse, reinfection, and putative strain transmission events. METHODS An 18-month prospective study of recurrent CDI was undertaken. Clostridium difficile was cultured from stool samples collected longitudinally from any patients suffering ≥2 clinically defined CDI episodes. Patient demographics and clinical data were recorded, and strain relatedness investigated by both polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based ribotyping and WGS. FINDINGS Nineteen patients were identified with ≥2 clinically defined CDI episodes who cumulatively suffered 39 recurring CDI episodes (58 total episodes). Patients had a median length of stay (LOS) of 144 days and experienced between two and seven CDI episodes. Ribotyping indicated 27 apparent same-strain relapses, five reinfections and the predominance of ribotypes 078 (ST-11) and 020 (ST-2). WGS allowed characterization of relapse with increased certainty and identified emergent within-strain single nucleotide variants (SNVs) with potential functional impact on diverse genes. Shared ribotypes among 14 patients with recurrent CDI suggested 10 possible patient-to-patient transmission events. However, WGS revealed greater diversity at the sub-ribotype level, excluding all but four transmission events. CONCLUSION WGS exhibits several advantages over PCR-based ribotyping in terms of its ability to distinguish relapse from reinfection, to identify patient-to-patient transmission events, and to exact fine structure characterization of recurrent CDI epidemiology. This offers the potential for more focused infection prevention strategies to eliminate strain transmission among patients with recurrent CDI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine risk of Down syndrome (DS) in multiple relative to singleton pregnancies, and compare prenatal diagnosis rates and pregnancy outcome. DESIGN Population-based prevalence study based on EUROCAT congenital anomaly registries. SETTING Eight European countries. POPULATION 14.8 million births 1990-2009; 2.89% multiple births. METHODS DS cases included livebirths, fetal deaths from 20 weeks, and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomaly (TOPFA). Zygosity is inferred from like/unlike sex for birth denominators, and from concordance for DS cases. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Relative risk (RR) of DS per fetus/baby from multiple versus singleton pregnancies and per pregnancy in monozygotic/dizygotic versus singleton pregnancies. Proportion of prenatally diagnosed and pregnancy outcome. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Poisson and logistic regression stratified for maternal age, country and time. RESULTS Overall, the adjusted (adj) RR of DS for fetus/babies from multiple versus singleton pregnancies was 0.58 (95% CI 0.53-0.62), similar for all maternal ages except for mothers over 44, for whom it was considerably lower. In 8.7% of twin pairs affected by DS, both co-twins were diagnosed with the condition. The adjRR of DS for monozygotic versus singleton pregnancies was 0.34 (95% CI 0.25-0.44) and for dizygotic versus singleton pregnancies 1.34 (95% CI 1.23-1.46). DS fetuses from multiple births were less likely to be prenatally diagnosed than singletons (adjOR 0.62 [95% CI 0.50-0.78]) and following diagnosis less likely to be TOPFA (adjOR 0.40 [95% CI 0.27-0.59]). CONCLUSIONS The risk of DS per fetus/baby is lower in multiple than singleton pregnancies. These estimates can be used for genetic counselling and prenatal screening.
