Abstract
BACKGROUND Approaches to gait analysis are evolving rapidly and now include a wide range of options: from e-patches to video platforms to wearable inertial measurement unit systems. Newer options for gait analysis are generally more inclusive for the assessment of children, more cost effective and easier to administer. However, there is limited data on the comparability of newer systems with more established traditional approaches in young children. RESEARCH QUESTION To determine comparability between the Physilog®5 wearable inertial sensor and GAITRite® electronic walkway for spatiotemporal (stride length, time and velocity, cadence) and relative phase (double support time, stance, swing, loading, foot flat and push off) data in young children. METHODS A total 34 typically developing participants (41% female) aged 6-11 years old median age 8.99 years old (interquartile range 2.83) were assessed walking at self-selected speed over the GAITRite® electronic walkway while concurrently wearing shoe-attached Physilog®5 IMU sensors. Level of agreement was analysed by Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), Bland-Altman plots and 95% limit of agreement. Systematic bias was assessed using 95% confidence interval of the mean difference. RESULTS Excellent to almost perfect agreement was observed between systems for spatiotemporal metrics: cadence (CCC=0.996), stride length (CCC=0.993), stride time (CCC=0.996), stride velocity (CCC=0.988). The relative phase metrics adjusted for stride velocity showed improved comparability when compared to the unadjusted metrics: swing adjusted (adj) (CCC=0.635); stance adj (CCC: 0.879); loading adj: (CCC=0.626). SIGNIFICANCE Spatiotemporal metrics are highly compatible across GAITRite® electronic walkway and Physilog®5 IMU systems in young children. Relative phase metrics were somewhat compatible between systems when adjusted for stride velocity.

Abstract
Background Blood culture contamination (BCC) has been associated with prolonged antibiotic use (AU) and increased health care utilization; however, this has not been widely reevaluated in the era of increased attention to antibiotic stewardship. We evaluated the impact of BCC on AU, resource utilization, and length of stay in Dutch and US patients. Methods This retrospective observational study examined adults admitted to 2 hospitals in the Netherlands and 5 hospitals in the United States undergoing ≥2 blood culture (BC) sets. Exclusion criteria included neutropenia, no hospital admission, or death within 48 hours of hospitalization. The impact of BCC on clinical outcomes-overall inpatient days of antibiotic therapy, test utilization, length of stay, and mortality-was determined via a multivariable regression model. Results An overall 22 927 patient admissions were evaluated: 650 (4.1%) and 339 (4.8%) with BCC and 11 437 (71.8%) and 4648 (66.3%) with negative BC results from the Netherlands and the United States, respectively. Dutch and US patients with BCC had a mean ± SE 1.74 ± 0.27 (P < .001) and 1.58 ± 0.45 (P < .001) more days of antibiotic therapy than patients with negative BC results. They also had 0.6 ± 0.1 (P < .001) more BCs drawn. Dutch but not US patients with BCC had longer hospital stays (3.36 days; P < .001). There was no difference in mortality between groups in either cohort. AU remained higher in US but not Dutch patients with BCC in a subanalysis limited to BC obtained within the first 24 hours of admission. Conclusions BCC remains associated with higher inpatient AU and health care utilization as compared with patients with negative BC results, although the impact on these outcomes differs by country.

Abstract
This practice column focuses on the insights and power of storytelling. Storytelling reflects a unique narrative that uncovers meaning in such a manner that new insights arise for the both the storyteller and beholder of a story. The importance of storytelling is illustrated with the light stories shine on meanings, value priorities, and choices. Accordingly, the honoring of storytelling within nursing's theoretical frameworks and practices transforms the individual nurse, informs the discipline, and provides service to persons, families, and communities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) represent a potential new therapeutic option to treat anaemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Purpose
In the recent ASCEND-ND trial (NCT02876835)1, conducted in patients with anaemia of CKD not requiring dialysis, the HIF-PHI daprodustat was non-inferior to darbepoetin for cardiovascular (CV) events in the primary intention-to-treat analysis (HR 1.03; 95% CI 0.89, 1.19); however, a prespecified on-treatment analysis raised concerns about a higher risk of CV events associated with daprodustat compared to darbepoetin (HR 1.40; 95% CI 1.17, 1.68). Our analysis explored potential reasons to explain the differences between on-treatment and intention-to-treat analyses in ASCEND-ND.
Methods
Overall, 3872 patients were randomised to receive either oral daprodustat (daily) or darbepoetin alfa given weekly, every 2 weeks, or every 4 weeks in an open-label fashion (last dosing frequency for darbepoetin was 7% weekly, 15% every 2 weeks, and 78% every 4 weeks). Patients were followed for development of the composite CV outcome (all-cause death, first non-fatal myocardial infarction, or first non-fatal stroke). The prespecified on-treatment approach included CV events up to 28 days following the last non-zero dose date of randomised therapy (Figure 1). Post-hoc analyses used Cox regression models to assess the impact of different follow-up periods (indexed to last non-zero dose date, treatment stop (discontinuation) date, and dosing intervals) on the treatment effect estimate.
Results
Different definitions of “on-treatment” using alternative censoring approaches resulted in hazard ratios for the CV composite outcome for daprodustat vs. darbepoetin that ranged from 1.06 (95% CI 0.89, 1.27) censored at treatment stop date; 1.09 (95% CI 0.89, 1.33) censored at last non-zero dose date + dosing interval; 1.54 (95% CI 1.20, 1.97) censored at the last non-zero dose date (Figure 2). As a result of the differential dosing interval, the gap between the last non-zero dose date and CV event date was 15 [1 to 134] days in the daprodustat arm, and 35 [13 to 134] days prior in the darbepoetin arm. This resulted in identical patients (i.e., identical treatment stop dates and event dates) being more likely to count as “on-treatment” in the daprodustat arm (Figure 1). This artefactual difference was not observed in analyses that were indexed to the treatment stop date, nor in analyses that accounted for the different dosing intervals for darbepoetin.
Conclusion
In the ASCEND-ND trial, different dosing frequencies introduced longer intervals between the last non-zero dose date and date of CV outcomes in the darbepoetin arm, compared with daprodustat. This artefact led to inappropriate undercounting of CV events in the darbepoetin arm. Accounting for the differential intervals resulted in neutral effect estimates, which were consistent with those observed with intention-to-treat approaches.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are limited contemporary data available regarding adjudicated causes of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prior studies have indicated that cardiovascular (CV) events are one of the most common causes of death among patients with CKD, with previous reports stating approximately 30% of patients died from CV causes [1]. Here, we report the adjudicated causes of death in two recently completed large-scale randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with ∼14,200 person years of follow-up: ASCEND-D [2] (median follow-up: 2.5 years; NCT02879305) and ASCEND-ND [3] (median follow-up: 1.9 years; NCT02876835). These trials investigated the safety and efficacy of daprodustat, a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), in correcting anaemia in patients with CKD.
Purpose
This study assessed the causes of death in patients with CKD in the ASCEND-D and ASCEND-ND trials.
Methods
ASCEND-D and ASCEND-ND were global, randomised, open-label, CV outcome trials in adult patients with CKD-related anaemia undergoing maintenance dialysis (ASCEND-D) or with pre-dialysis CKD (ASCEND-ND) who received daily oral daprodustat or conventional erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). Cause of death was systematically and centrally adjudicated in a blinded fashion to the study treatment assignment by an independent committee.
Results
In ASCEND-D and ASCEND-ND, respectively, 2964 and 3872 patients were randomised, of which 92% and 97% completed the study. Baseline characteristics were well-balanced across treatment groups within each trial. Adjudicated causes of death for the ASCEND-D and -ND trials are shown in the Table. All-cause mortality was similar in patients treated with daprodustat as compared with those treated with conventional ESA in both the ASCEND-D and -ND trials. Overall mortality in the ASCEND-D and -ND trials was 20.0% and 15.5%, respectively, and CV causes accounted for approximately 30–40% of all deaths and infection accounted for 25–30% of all deaths in both trials.
Conclusion
Although CV events were the most common cause of death in the ASCEND-D and ASCEND-ND trials (30–40% of cases), the risk of death due to infection was also high, accounting for approximately 25–30% of all deaths across all study arms. Sudden death accounted for most CV deaths, particularly in the ASCEND-D trial. Infection as a cause of death was more frequent than previously reported in other RCTs or disease registries. Causes of death did not differ significantly between ASCEND-D and ASCEND-ND, or between treatments. However, as this is a selected population for a CV trial, it may not be representative of a real-life CKD population. Our results provide important data to inform the design of future studies in this population.

Abstract
Values and expression of values reflect an explicit-tacit coming to know, and value priorities sculpt theoretical knowledge and practice. The author in this article proposes that values, theory, and practice provide a connectedness among persons, families, and communities that promotes the dignity of persons. The promotion of dignity of persons goes beyond a framework that only focuses on the critical elements of missed or incomplete nursing care.

Abstract
Defining the complex role of the microbiome in colorectal cancer and the discovery of novel, protumorigenic microbes are areas of active investigation. In the present study, culturing and reassociation experiments revealed that toxigenic strains of Clostridioides difficile drove the tumorigenic phenotype of a subset of colorectal cancer patient-derived mucosal slurries in germ-free ApcMin/+ mice. Tumorigenesis was dependent on the C. difficile toxin TcdB and was associated with induction of Wnt signaling, reactive oxygen species, and protumorigenic mucosal immune responses marked by the infiltration of activated myeloid cells and IL17-producing lymphoid and innate lymphoid cell subsets. These findings suggest that chronic colonization with toxigenic C. difficile is a potential driver of colorectal cancer in patients. SIGNIFICANCE Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer and cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a multifactorial etiology that likely includes procarcinogenic bacteria. Using human colon cancer specimens, culturing, and murine models, we demonstrate that chronic infection with the enteric pathogen C. difficile is a previously unrecognized contributor to colonic tumorigenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gait Up Physilog® wearable inertial sensors are a powerful alternative to traditional laboratory-based gait assessment for children with gait impairment. To build clinician trust in these devices and ultimately facilitate their use outside confined spaces, studies have examined performance of previous versions of Physilog® wearable inertial sensors but predominant focus has been on older adults. Despite their different gait patterns and behavioural/cognitive profiles, there are limited studies in children. RESEARCH QUESTION To determine whether key spatiotemporal gait parameters (stride length, time and velocity) collected by shoe-worn Physilog®5 sensors in a hallway assessment protocol are a valid method of gait assessment in typically developing adolescents aged 12-15 years. METHODS A total 30 typically developing participants (50 % female) median age 13.7 (interquartile range 2.34) were assessed in an exploratory study whilst walking at self-selected speed over the GAITRite® electronic walkway, concurrently wearing Physilog®5 sensors. Concurrent validity was analysed by Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), Bland-Altman plots and 95 % limit of agreement. Systematic bias was assessed using 95 % confidence interval of the mean difference. RESULTS Mean stride data demonstrated substantial agreement for stride length (CCC = 0.975) and stride velocity (CCC = 0.979) to almost perfect agreement for stride time (CCC > 0.996). Agreement between the technologies for individual stride-to-stride data remained high for stride time (CCC = 0.952); yet reduced for stride length (CCC = 0.868) and stride velocity (CCC = 0.877). Male/female differences in performance of the technology were observed for stride velocity, favouring females. SIGNIFICANCE Physilog®5 inertial sensors accurately measure walking in adolescents, with stride time the most accurately detected parameter. This demonstrates that wearables can be used by researchers and clinicians working with adolescent groups as an alternative to fixed systems. These findings will ultimately pave the way to using wearables for assessments with children outside of the laboratory environment.

Abstract
The importance of honoring and attending to human expressions, including metaphor, is more than an exercise in rhetorical flourish. Attending to metaphorical expressions is an inherent whole-in-motion connection of living the art of humanbecoming with the attention to honoring personal values and choices. The humanbecoming paradigm offers a person-centered approach and thus advances the trust of persons within the various communities receiving healthcare.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review is to describe health care organizational structures and processes that support implementation of nurse-led, evidence-based practice projects resulting in improvements in outcome measures. INTRODUCTION Many health care organizations claim to support evidence-based practice methodology; however, a gap exists between knowledge generation and its use in routine clinical practice. This scoping review protocol will examine the status of organizational factors impacting implementation of evidence-based practices and reported outcomes. INCLUSION CRITERIA This scoping review will consider all literature that includes descriptions of health care organizations' structures or support of evidence-based nursing programs or efforts that include outcomes. Health care organizations are defined as primary/secondary/tertiary, public/private, for profit/non-profit hospitals, medical centers, or multi-hospital systems. Literature will be excluded if the evidence-based practice project does not report the organizational structures that supported the implementation for the project. In addition, literature will be excluded if the program is not inclusive of nursing. METHODS Literature published in English from 1992 to present will be included. The databases to be searched include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane, and Embase. The search for unpublished evidence and gray literature will include ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, ANCC Magnet conferences, and government publications. Retrieval of full-text studies and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. The extracted data will be presented in a tabular format with accompanying narrative summary.

Abstract
Theoretical frameworks offer guiding principles to guide nursing practice on well-defined nursing knowledge. Peplau's theory of interpersonal relationship empowers nurses in their work for regaining health and well-being for people. Understanding the theory and the connectedness that arises from this theory provides a structure for nurse-patient relations, even working through a language barrier as evidenced by the case scenario detailed in this article.

Abstract
In nursing homes, due to time constraints, lack of communication can influence the quality of information exchanged, which influences the outcomes of healthcare for residents. Nurses' proximity to the nursing home resident, their knowledge, and skill serve as an opportunity to communicate and facilitate patient-centered goals and improve treatment decision-making. Concepts within the cybernetic communication literature entail systemic interactive relationships that enable the sharing of knowledge and expertise. These interactions are based on nursing's theoretical knowledge, clinical judgment, and empowerment and are based on patient-centered goals.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate intra-rater reliability and construct validity of the Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy Composite Outcome Measure (FSHD-COM), in childhood FSHD. Participants included eighteen children with FSHD, and matched healthy controls. Reliability data were collected from 15 participants with FSHD over two testing sessions. Validity data were collected from all participants. Participants with FSHD completed; the FSHD-COM (and modified pediatric version), Motor Function Measure-32 (MFM-32), FSHD Severity Scales, Performance of the Upper Limb 2.0, Pediatric Quality of Life™ Neuromuscular Module and pediatric FSHD Health-Index Questionnaire. Both versions of the FSHD-COM showed excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC1,2 > 0.99, lower 95%CI > 0.98) with a Minimal Detectable Change (MDC95%) of ≤14.5%. The FSHD-COM had robust and widespread correlations with other related outcome measures. The FSHD-COM versions and 6 min walk test effectively discriminated between children with and without FSHD; the MFM-32 and 10 m walk/run test did not. Ceiling effects were not observed on either version of the FSHD-COM. Reliability and validity findings in this childhood FSHD study concord with estimates in adults. Both versions of the FSHD-COM were effective in discriminating disease in children with mild FSHD symptoms. The FSHD-COM has the potential to be a useful measure of function across the life span.

Abstract
An acuity adaptable pediatric cardiac care model provides healthcare centered on the practice of having the child remain in the same unit and receive care from the same clinical team from admission to discharge. This means the child is managed as they progress from an acute, intermediate, intensive care, and sometimes even long-term status within the same room. This article highlights the relationship-based care nursing model, a patient-centered care model, and the importance of nursing disciplinary knowledge from the Roy adaptation model and its impact on the healthcare this population receives within a unique environment.

Abstract
Opportunity exists to decrease healthcare-related exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), preserve infection control resources, and increase care capacity by reducing the time to diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A retrospective cohort analysis was undertaken to measure the effect of targeted rapid molecular testing for SARS-CoV-2 on these outcomes. In comparison with standard platform testing, rapid testing was associated with a 65.6% reduction (12.6 h) in the median time to removal from the isolation cohort for patients with negative diagnostic results. This translated to an increase in COVID-19 treatment capacity of 3028 bed-hours and 7500 fewer patient interactions that required the use of personal protective equipment per week.

Abstract
Language provides cadences of sounds, silences, and movements that bring to light meaning, which in turn transforms human connections, understanding, and knowledge. When coupled with disciplinary knowledge and opportunities to illuminate with simulation, there are opportunities to influence human connectedness, which is meaningful even in times of a pandemic.

Abstract
Elderly residents in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) constitute a population noted to have a large number of medications prescribed and administered. The aim of this article is to explore the nursing role for medication management, with an emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship, guided by disciplinary knowledge of King's theory of goal attainment and skill-based medication knowledge. The outcome is a nursing workforce truly engaged in working with interdisciplinary colleagues and focusing on care planning that includes medication management to improve the health status of residents in long-term care facilities.

Abstract
This study aimed to correlate hypoglycemic risk exposures (HREs) with low blood glucose value (BGV) in ambulatory patients to inform selection of a glucose critical action value (CAV).This was a retrospective study of ambulatory patients with at least 1 serum glucose ≤70 mg/dL obtained at 2 laboratories within the Johns Hopkins Health System over 3.8 years. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate association of BGV cut-offs of <60, <54, <50, and <45 mg/dL with HREs. HREs were classified as "high hypoglycemic risk" (HHR), "moderate hypoglycemic risk" (MHR), "low hypoglycemic risk" (LHR), and "no hypoglycemic risk" (NHR).A total of 5404 patient samples of BG ≤70 mg/dL were analyzed, of which 30.3%, 23.2%, 28.5%, 18.0% occurred in NHR, LHR, MHR, and HHR groups, respectively. An inverse relationship was noted between BGV cut-offs and HHR, but no association was observed for LHR or MHR. After adjusting for age, sex, and race, there was an inverse association between BG thresholds and the odds of HHR. For classification of HHR, BGV cut-offs of <60, <54, <50, and <45 mg/dL correctly classified 71.2%, 69.8%, 68.8%, and 67.2% of BG samples, achieved false-positive rates of 13.6%, 4.7%, 1.7%, and 0.5% and positive likelihood ratios of 3.3, 6.0, 11.2, and 23.4, respectively.Nearly 70% of low BGVs occurred in patients with at least 1 HRE, but only ∼20% occurred in HHR patients. Given their high positive likelihood ratios, BGVs <54 or <50 mg/dL are reasonable candidates for CAVs that would allow sufficient clinician response time while minimizing false-positive alerts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ventricular shunt infection remains an issue leading to high patient morbidity and cost, warranting further investigation. The authors sought to create an animal model of shunt infection that could be used to evaluate possible catheter modifications and innovations. METHODS Three dogs underwent bilateral ventricular catheter implantation and inoculation with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In 2 experimental animals, the catheters were modified with a polymer containing chemical "pockets" loaded with vancomycin. In 1 control animal, the catheters were polymer coated but without antibiotics. Animals were monitored for 9 to 11 days, after which the shunts were explanted. MRI was performed after shunt implantation and prior to catheter harvest. The catheters were sonicated prior to microbiological culture and also evaluated by electron microscopy. The animals' brains were evaluated for histopathology. RESULTS All animals underwent successful catheter implantation. The animals developed superficial wound infections, but no neurological deficits. Imaging demonstrated ventriculitis and cerebral edema. Harvested catheters from the control animal demonstrated > 104 colony-forming units (CFUs) of S. aureus. In the first experimental animal, one shunt demonstrated > 104 CFUs of S. aureus, but the other demonstrated no growth. In the second experimental animal, one catheter demonstrated no growth, and the other grew trace S. aureus. Brain histopathology revealed acute inflammation and ventriculitis in all animals, which was more severe in the control. CONCLUSIONS The authors evaluated an animal model of ventricular shunting and reliably induced features of shunt infection that could be microbiologically quantified. With this model, investigation of pathophysiological and imaging correlates of infection and potentially beneficial shunt catheter modifications is possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing international movement legislating medical marijuana has brought renewed interest to the role of marijuana smoking on fertility potential. Although studies have identified that sperm quality can be compromised by marijuana use, little focus has been placed specifically on those trying to conceive. In this study, we aimed to clarify the impact of marijuana use in semen quality in men being investigated for assisted reproduction. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study at a university-based facility in Jamaica. Routine semen analyses were performed on 229 men ages 23-72 years who were new clients. Logistic regression analyses were performed in order to independently predict quantifiable measures of the impact of marijuana use. The main outcome measures were sperm motility, total motile spermatozoa and morphology. RESULTS Overall, 47% of the participants reported marijuana use with 21% of these men reporting recent use. Regression analyses showed that recent use and users of large quantities of marijuana were 2.6 times (aOR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.0-6.8, p = 0.044) and 4.3 times (aOR = 4.3; 95% CI, 1.1-15.9, p = 0.030) at greater risk of being diagnosed with abnormal motility (asthenozoospermia). Additionally, moderate quantity users were 3.4 times (aOR = 3.4; 95% CI, 1.5-7.9, p = 0.004) more likely to be diagnosed with abnormal morphology (teratozoospermia). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Recent use of marijuana as well as moderate to large quantities had an impact on sperm motility and morphology in men being investigated for infertility. We recommend therefore that men undergoing fertility investigations be routinely asked about their recreational use of marijuana and in particular recent and heavy users counselled to stop.

Abstract
This article focuses on the substance of centering on a nursing disciplinary theoretical approach accomplished through a brief review of the phenomena of joy-sorrow from a research and practice perspective. When practice is designed from a theoretical conceptual system, it takes form and provides tangible benefits through the creative conceptualizations and connectedness that arise to influence persons who seek healthcare. Although the article espouses a humanbecoming framework, the take-away is that a nursing disciplinary approach promotes congruence among theory, research, practice, and education, thereby advancing the discipline's meaning and contributions.
