Unsupervised home spirometry is not equivalent to supervised clinic spirometry in children and young people with cystic fibrosis: Results from the CLIMB-CF study. Pediatr Pulmonol 2023; 58:2871-2880. [PMID: 37503909 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Handheld spirometry allows monitoring of lung function at home, of particular importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatric studies are unclear on whether values are interchangeable with traditional, clinic-based spirometry. We aimed to assess differences between contemporaneous, home (unsupervised) and clinic (supervised) spirometry and the variability of the former. The accuracy of the commercially available spirometer used in the study was also tested. METHODS Data from participants in the Clinical Monitoring and Biomarkers to stratify severity and predict outcomes in children with cystic fibrosisc (CLIMB-CF) Study aged ≥ 6 years who had paired (±1 day) clinic and home forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ) readings were analyzed. Variability during clinical stability over 6-months was assessed. Four devices from Vitalograph were tested using 1 and 3 L calibration syringes. RESULTS Sixty-seven participants (median [interquartile range] age 10.7 [7.6-13.9] years) provided home and clinic FEV1 data pairs. The mean (SD) FEV1 % bias was 6.5% [±8.2%]) with wide limits of agreement (-9.6% to +22.7%); 76.2% of participants recorded lower results at home. Coefficient of variation of home FEV1 % during stable periods was 9.9%. Data from the testing of the handheld device used in CLIMB-CF showed a potential underread. CONCLUSION In children and adolescents, home spirometry using hand-held equipment cannot be used interchangeably with clinic spirometry. Home spirometry is moderately variable during clinical stability. New handheld devices underread, particularly at lower volumes of potential clinical significance for smaller patients; this suggests that supervision does not account fully for the discrepancy. Opportunities should be taken to obtain dual device measurements in clinic, so that trend data from home can be utilized more accurately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have demonstrated a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) in individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), and also a potentially increased risk in carriers of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations. Life expectancy for those with CF is rising, increasing the number at risk of developing CRC. METHODS The incidence of CRC amongst individuals with CF was calculated using data from CORECT-R and linked UK CF Registry and Secondary User Services (SUS) data. Crude, age-specific and age-standardised rates were compared to those without CF. The presence of CFTR mutations in individuals with CRC was assessed using 100,000 Genomes Project data. FINDINGS The crude incidence rate of CRC in the CF population was 0.29 per 1,000 person-years (28 cases). The CF population were significantly younger than those without (median age at CRC diagnosis 52 years versus 73 years; p<0·01). When age-adjusted, there was a 5-fold increased CRC incidence amongst individuals with CF compared to those without (SIR 5.0 95%CI 3.2-6.9). When compared to other population studies the overall prevalence of CFTR mutations in the CRC population was significantly higher than expected (p<0·01). INTERPRETATION CF is linked to an increased risk of CRC. The incidence of CFTR mutations in the CRC population is higher than would be expected, suggesting an association between CFTR function and CRC risk. Further research is needed to develop effective screening strategies for these populations. FUNDING Cancer Research UK (grants C23434/A23706 & C10674/A27140).

Mental health benefits of mounted equine-assisted therapies: A scoping review. HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE IN THE COMMUNITY 2022; 30:e4920-e4935.

Abstract
Across mental health professionals, there is growing interest in the field of Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT). Preliminary evidence suggests EAT is beneficial for a wide spectrum of client populations. EAT programs may be based on groundwork alone, where participants interact with the horses from the ground only, or they may incorporate mounted activities. It remains unclear whether mounted activities add therapeutic benefits to the EAT experience for participants. This scoping review explored whether mounted activities, specifically where the client rides the horse, contribute to distinct therapeutic benefits. Nine databases were searched for studies of EAT programs that included horse riding as a central component of the therapeutic intervention and 36 studies were included in the analysis. The results of these studies suggest that mounted activities positively contribute to a variety of issues experienced by different client groups. However, further quality research is needed to carefully examine riding activities as an independent phenomenon, in order to establish what contribution-mounted activities, over and above groundwork, make to any therapeutic benefit of the EAT experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This international study aimed to characterise the impact of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection in people with cystic fibrosis and investigate factors associated with severe outcomes. Methods Data from 22 countries prior to 13th December 2020 and the introduction of vaccines were included. It was de-identified and included patient demographics, clinical characteristics, treatments, outcomes and sequalae following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate factors associated with clinical progression to severe COVID-19, using the primary outcome of hospitalisation with supplemental oxygen. RESULTS SARS-CoV-2 was reported in 1555 people with CF, 1452 were included in the analysis. One third were aged <18 years, and 9.4% were solid-organ transplant recipients. 74.5% were symptomatic and 22% were admitted to hospital. In the non-transplanted cohort, 39.5% of patients with ppFEV1<40% were hospitalised with oxygen verses 3.2% with ppFEV >70%: a 17-fold increase in odds. Worse outcomes were independently associated with older age, non-white race, underweight body mass index, and CF-related diabetes. Prescription of highly effective CFTR modulator therapies was associated with a significantly reduced odds of being hospitalised with oxygen (AOR 0.43 95%CI 0.31-0.60 p<0.001). Transplanted patients were hospitalised with supplemental oxygen therapy (21.9%) more often than non-transplanted (8.8%) and was independently associated with the primary outcome (Adjusted OR 2.45 95%CI 1.27-4.71 p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show that there is a protective effect from the use of CFTR modulator therapy and that people with CF from an ethnic minority are at more risk of severe infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Optimising equity of access: how should we allocate slots to the most competitive trials in Cystic Fibrosis (CF)? J Cyst Fibros 2021; 20:978-985. [PMID: 33875366 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2021.03.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trial participation can allow people with CF early access to CFTR modulator therapies, with high potential for clinical benefit. Therefore, the number of people wishing to participate can substantially exceed the number of slots available. We aimed to understand how the CF community thinks slots to competitive trials should be allocated across the UK and whether this should be driven by clinical need, patients' engagement/adherence or be random. For the latter, we explored site-level versus registry-based, national randomisation processes. METHODS We developed an online survey, recruiting UK-based stakeholders through social media, newsletters and personal contacts. Closed questions were analysed for frequencies and percentages of responses. Free-text questions were analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS We received 203 eligible responses. Overall, 75% of stakeholders favoured allocation of slots to individual sites based on patient population size, although pharma favoured allocation based on previous metrics. Currently, few centres have defined strategies for allocating slots locally. At face-value, stakeholders believe all eligible participants should have an equal chance of getting a slot. However, further questioning reveals preference for prioritisation strategies, primarily perceived treatment adherence, although healthcare professionals were less likely to favour this strategy than other stakeholder groups. The majority of stakeholders would prefer to allocate slots and participate in trials locally but 80% said if necessary, they would engage in a system of national allocation. CONCLUSIONS Fair allocation to highly competitive trials does not appear to have a universally acceptable solution. Therefore, transparency and empathy remain critical to negotiate this uncertain territory.

Abstract
With the growing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we need to better understand its impact in specific patient groups like those with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We report on 181 people with CF (32 post-transplant) from 19 countries diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 prior to 13 June 2020. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 appears to exhibit a similar spectrum of outcomes to that seen in the general population, with 11 people admitted to intensive care (7 post-transplant), and 7 deaths (3 post-transplant). A more severe clinical course may be associated with older age, CF-related diabetes, lower lung function in the year prior to infection, and having received an organ transplant. Whilst outcomes in this large cohort are better than initially feared overall, possibly due to a protective effect of the relatively younger age of the CF population compared to other chronic conditions, SARS-CoV-2 is not a benign disease for all people in this patient group.

Abstract
Information is lacking on the clinical impact of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, on people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Our aim was to characterise SARS-CoV-2 infection in people with cystic fibrosis. METHODS Anonymised data submitted by each participating country to their National CF Registry was reported using a standardised template, then collated and summarised. RESULTS 40 cases have been reported across 8 countries. Of the 40 cases, 31 (78%) were symptomatic for SARS-CoV-2 at presentation, with 24 (60%) having a fever. 70% have recovered, 30% remain unresolved at time of reporting, and no deaths have been submitted. CONCLUSIONS This early report shows good recovery from SARS-CoV-2 in this heterogeneous CF cohort. The disease course does not seem to differ from the general population, but the current numbers are too small to draw firm conclusions and people with CF should continue to strictly follow public health advice to protect themselves from infection.

Abstract
Social workers are well positioned to address mental health complications impacting home care populations, yet social work has one of the lowest utilization rates of offered home care supports in Ontario. This study analyzed care plan data of frontline in-home social work services. Results identified adjustment to illness as the most common category and that seniors required significantly fewer visits and days on service than non-seniors. Most patients were able to accomplish their social work-based goals. Results highlight a need for further research and for capitalizing on the untapped potential value of social work home care services for patients.

Abstract
There remain many treatment uncertainties in cystic fibrosis (CF). With limited resources, research should focus on questions which are most important to the CF community. We conducted a James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership in CF. Research questions were elicited and then prioritised in successive surveys. A workshop agreed the final top 10. Online methods avoided cross infection and widened participation. The elicitation survey had 482 respondents (1080 questions) and prioritisation survey 677 respondents. Participants were drawn equally from the patient and clinical communities globally. We have achieved a consensus on 10 research priorities which will be attractive to funders.

Abstract
The importance of examining positive aspects of youth development has been emphasized across disciplines involved in the care of youth with substance abuse problems. However, little is known about the strengths of adolescents with substance abuse problems, especially youth entering residential treatment. Utilizing the Strengths Assessment Inventory, a measure assessing psychological and social strengths, we examined patterns of strengths across groups of age- and gender-matched youth who reported no substance use, frequent substance use, and those entering treatment for severe substance use. Each group consisted of 43 participants ranging in age from 14 to 18 years. Results indicated that, on average, individuals entering treatment scored lower on personal strengths. However, through the use of more sophisticated statistical approaches, it was found that certain strengths were predictive of individuals belonging to the treatment group. Results are discussed in terms of their relevance to the treatment of adolescent substance abuse problems.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate a parent/carer hospital-based educational event and increase future participation by tailoring the format to meet parent/carer preferences. Fifty parents/carers of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) completed semi-structured telephone surveys, interpreted using frequency data and content analysis. Most were satisfied with the topics covered, presentation mode, hospital location and day of the week, but 29 were dissatisfied with a 6pm start. The main benefit perceived was contact with other parents/carers, rather than the educational content. Of the non-attenders, some reported actively limiting participation in CF education and support groups as part of their coping style. No differences were observed between the health outcome measures of children of parents who attended compared with those of parents who did not. The active promotion of social contact between parents/carers and the tailoring of events to achieve this are paramount for increasing attendance.

Abstract
This systematic review evaluated evidence for two dry powder formulations, colistimethate sodium and tobramycin, for the treatment of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis, as part of the UK national recommendation process for new technologies. Electronic bibliographic databases were searched in May 2012 (MEDLINE, MEDLINE in-Process, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases, CINAHL, Web of Science, Conference Proceedings Citation Index and BIOSIS Previews). Relevant outcomes included rate and extent of microbial response (e.g. sputum density of P. aeruginosa), lung function (e.g. forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)), frequency, severity of acute exacerbations and adverse events. Three trials were included, and both dry powder formulations were reported to be non-inferior in the short term to nebulised tobramycin for FEV1. However, long-term follow-up data were missing and the effect on exacerbation rates was not always reported. Whilst short-term results showed that both dry powder drugs were non-inferior to nebulised tobramycin, there was no long-term follow-up and no phase 3 trials compared nebulised and dry powder colistimethate sodium. The use of FEV1 as the primary end-point may not accurately represent changes in lung health. This review illustrates the difficulty in assessing new technologies where the evidence base is poor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects over 9,000 people in the UK and limits life expectancy. CF patients are susceptible to lung infections, most commonly Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Once infection is established, patients require lifetime treatment using nebulised antibiotics. Newer dry powder formulations of antibiotics may reduce treatment burden and improve compliance. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate the cost effectiveness of (i) colistimethate sodium dry powder for inhalation (DPI) and (ii) tobramycin DPI versus nebulised tobramycin for the treatment of chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection in patients with CF from the perspective of the National Health Service (NHS) and Personal Social Services (PSS). METHODS We developed a state transition model based on transitions between three strata of lung function measured in terms of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) % predicted. Additional health states representing post-lung transplantation and dead are also modelled. The model structure was informed by systematic reviews of evidence concerning the plausibility of potential relationships between intermediate endpoints and final outcomes. The model assumes that treatment impacts on FEV1 trajectory, which manifest as changes in health-related quality of life. No survival benefit is assumed due to the absence of robust quantifiable evidence. Model parameters were informed by patient-level and aggregate data from two randomised controlled trials together with the best available evidence from the literature. Resource use and costs associated with drug acquisition, the management of exacerbations and reduced nebuliser maintenance were drawn from reference sources and expert opinion. Costs were valued at 2011/2012 prices. Costs and health outcomes were discounted at a rate of 3.5 %. Simple and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were undertaken, including additional analyses of Patient Access Scheme (PAS) price discounts offered by the manufacturers of both DPI products. RESULTS Colistimethate sodium DPI is expected to produce fewer quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) than nebulised tobramycin. Based on its list price, colistimethate sodium DPI is expected to be dominated by nebulised tobramycin. When the PAS is incorporated, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for colistimethate sodium DPI versus nebulised tobramycin is expected to be approximately £288,600 saved per QALY lost. Based on its current list price, the ICER for tobramycin DPI versus nebulised tobramycin is expected to be approximately £124,000 per QALY gained. When the proposed PAS is included, tobramycin DPI is expected to dominate nebulised tobramycin. CONCLUSIONS Under their list prices, neither DPI product is likely to represent good value for money for the NHS given current cost-effectiveness thresholds. The PAS discounts have a significant impact upon the economic attractiveness of both DPI products compared against nebulised tobramycin. The clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of the DPIs against other nebulised antibiotics, such as aztreonam and inhaled colistimethate sodium, remains unclear.

Abstract
The ECFS-CTN Standardisation Committee has undertaken this review of lung clearance index as part of the group's work on evaluation of clinical endpoints with regard to their use in multicentre clinical trials in CF. The aims were 1) to review the literature on reliability, validity and responsiveness of LCI in patients with CF, 2) to gain consensus of the group on feasibility of LCI and 3) to gain consensus on answers to key questions regarding the promotion of LCI to surrogate endpoint status. It was concluded that LCI has an attractive feasibility and clinimetric properties profile and is particularly indicated for multicentre trials in young children with CF and patients with early or mild CF lung disease. This is the first article to collate the literature in this manner and support the use of LCI in clinical trials in CF.

Abstract
Substance abuse is a growing issue among adolescents. While not every adolescent who struggles with this issue seeks treatment, those who do frequently fail to complete treatment or tend to relapse following treatment. To improve adolescent treatments for substance abuse issues it is important to understand adolescent experiences while in treatment, along with the factors that contribute to positive treatment outcomes. Qualitative methods were used to examine 52 post-treatment interviews conducted with adolescents following their completion of a five-week strengths-based residential program for substance use issues. The adolescent narratives were analyzed to answer three research questions: (1) what aspects of the treatment program were found to be most helpful by youth, (2) which specific strengths did youth identify to be the most helpful throughout the treatment process and in beginning to overcome their substance use issues, and (3) did youth begin to adopt strengths-based thinking strategies over the course of treatment? Results include descriptive answers to these questions based on common themes across participant responses. Implications for future research are discussed.

Abstract
Social workers practicing in government-mandated child welfare programs experience several unique challenges and workplace stressors that can contribute to social worker workplace dissatisfaction and higher rates of turnover. Most research on workplace wellbeing primarily focuses on workplace characteristics rather than on other variables, such as personal and professional life factors. From a sample of child welfare workers (n = 145), and following a model of subjective well-being, our findings show that three factors--work, profession, and personal life--significantly predict overall social worker satisfaction and intention to leave, confirming previous research on the multiple aspects of a social worker's life that contributes to his or her subjective well-being.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study explored the experiences of NICU nurses in caring for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). DESIGN A qualitative research approach was used with open-ended questions employing computer-assisted personal interviews. SAMPLE Fourteen NICU nurses employed in a regional hospital provided responses. RESULTS The nurses reflected a personal struggle between a desire to employ their technical and critical nursing skills and the need to provide expected maternal care to NAS infants. Other themes included frustration and burnout, challenges to values about parenting, and increased awareness of drug use in the community and at home. DISCUSSION The results suggest that nurses underrate the skill required to care for infants with NAS. The level of knowledge, patience, and commitment to these newborns should be reframed to increase job satisfaction, and education should be offered to nurses about women struggling with addictions.

Abstract
We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented at 9 months of age with abdominal distension and was found to have a triad of bilateral cystic nephroma, pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) and juvenile intestinal polyps. There have been three previous reported cases of patients with the same associated diagnoses. Our patient is the first reported patient with PPB who received renal replacement therapy and progressed to successful renal transplantation. The potential increased risk of progression of malignancy of PPB (type 1) with immunosuppression following transplantation remains unknown.

Serologic diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with cystic fibrosis through the detection of immunoglobulin G to Aspergillus fumigatus. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 2009; 62:287-91.

Abstract
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is seen in approximately 10% of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and can be difficult to diagnose. Consensus criteria require the presence of multiple elevated immunologic markers such as total immunoglobulin E (IgE), Aspergillus IgE and Aspergillus IgG, or precipitins for a robust diagnosis. There is some degree of standardization of total IgE and Aspergillus IgE levels, but there is no standardization in the measurement of IgG antibodies or precipitins to Aspergillus. The interpretation of results may, therefore, be confusing. Eighty-seven patients with CF were categorized as having ABPA or as controls, using the consensus criteria and an in-house enzyme immunoassay to measure IgG levels to Aspergillus. All sera from patients were then analyzed by commercial fluorescent immunoassay (FEIA) for the quantitative detection of anti-Aspergillus IgG. FEIA results were analyzed against the consensus conference minimum diagnostic criteria to ascertain a cutoff point, which could predict a diagnosis of ABPA in CF. Eighty patients with CF and with no or incomplete evidence of ABPA had a mean FEIA score of 51.1 mg/L, whereas 7 CF patients with ABPA had a mean FEIA score of 132.5 mg/L. Using receiver operator characteristic curve analysis of the ImmunoCAP (Phadia) IgG score on ABPA versus all other patients gave an area under the curve of 0.933 (estimated SE, 0.027). This analysis provisionally suggested that a score of 90 mg/L may be used as a cutoff point, which would give a sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 88.0% for the diagnosis of ABPA, though this requires further validation. This quantitative approach to Aspergillus IgG measurement in patients with CF along with the results of other tests will hopefully provide a more accurate approach to the diagnosis of ABPA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this research was to understand factors that affect future practice intentions of physicians who practise in rural and underserviced areas. The following 2 research questions are answered: "How many physicians in Northwestern Ontario intend to leave their practice in 5 years?" and "What is the association between professional, personal/family and community factors in physician satisfaction and intention to stay in practice?" METHODS Between September and October 2004, physicians practising in Northwestern Ontario were mailed a survey measuring professional, personal/family and community satisfaction as well as future practice intentions. Future practice intention (question 1) was analyzed through a frequency distribution, while the factors that influenced intention (question 2) were analyzed using a 3-step process: a factor analysis, the creation of scales and a logistic regression. The themes of the scales emerging from the factor analysis were family/community, time, professional support and efficacy, and sense of belonging and appreciation. The means of these 4 scales were entered into a logistic regression model along with demographic variables that were independent predictors of future practice intention. RESULTS Three hundred and twenty-eight physicians were sent the survey. After 3 consecutive mailings, the response rate was 61.3% (n=201). Over two-thirds of Northwestern Ontario physicians intended to remain in practice in 5 years; however, most of these physicians were from Thunder Bay, the only city (100 000+ population) in Northwestern Ontario. Physicians were significantly more likely to intend to stay in practice if they were younger, practised in Thunder Bay and scored higher on the family/community scale. CONCLUSION These findings underscore the importance of addressing family and community factors, as opposed to strictly professional factors, in future retention initiatives.

Abstract
HPS is defined as arterial hypoxemia because of pulmonary vasodilation as a result of cirrhotic or non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. This report describes a teenager with HPS because of primary sclerosing cholangitis/autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome requiring OLT. HPS resolved completely within three months of OLT, but recurred again at 12 months post-OLT following liver dysfunction secondary to a biliary stricture. She underwent a second OLT successfully and remains well two yr and three months post-second OLT. Recurrent HPS after OLT may occur because of graft dysfunction and as this novel case illustrates, retransplantation may lead to a successful outcome.

Longitudinal analysis of FEV1 changes related to antibiotic therapy in children with cystic fibrosis. IRISH MEDICAL JOURNAL 2007; 100:529-32.

Abstract
The measurement of FEV1 in children with cystic fibrosis has been shown to be the most important objective measurement for survival. It has been observed that children receiving intravenous antibiotics usually show a significant improvement in FEV1 with therapy in the short term. We hypothesized that the FEV1 measured pre-antibiotic therapy and followed longitudinally would show a greater rate of decline and may be a better prognostic indicator than the FEV1 post antibiotic therapy. The study cohort consisted of 60 children with cystic fibrosis who attended the St. James' Hospital cystic fibrosis unit between 1993 and 1999. Mixed model regression analysis provided estimates of the average rate of change of the pre-FEV1, post-FEV1 and FEV1 difference in subgroups based on survival, sex and pseudomonas status. There was no significant difference seen in the rate of decline of the FEV1 difference when comparing those who died and those who survived (p = 0.93). This was also the case when males were compared to females (p = 0.09). Both pre-antibiotic FEV1 and post-antibiotic FEV1 measurements showed a significant difference in rate of decline when comparing those who died (FEV1 slope = -6.4, -6.3) to those who survived (FEV1 slope = -1.9, -1.7) [p = 0.001, p = 0.0005] and when males (FEV1 slope = -0.6, -0.03) were compared to females (FEV1 slope = -3.3, -3.5) [p = 0.03, p = 0.002]. Our study demonstrated that there was no additional value in measuring FEV1 pre-antibiotic therapy compared to the FEV1 post antibiotic therapy in improving the sensitivity of FEV1 as a marker of decline. This study confirms that the rate of decline in FEV1 is a strong predictor of mortality and that females in this age group decline faster than their male counterparts.

Abstract
The concurrent and predictive validity of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) were examined across gender and ethnicity using multiple outcome measures on a community-based sample of 130 adjudicated youths. The PCL:YV demonstrated concurrent validity with externalizing behavior problems but, it is important to note, was also associated with internalizing measures of negative affect. With a mean follow-up period of 3 years, the PCL:YV was found to predict general and violent recidivism in male, Native Canadian, and Caucasian youths. However, the PCL:YV demonstrated weaker concurrent and predictive validity with girls and failed to predict nonviolent recidivism in all subgroups. Implications of the findings for clinical practice are discussed.

Abstract
Effective management of cystic fibrosis (CF) depends on adherence to a daily multi-component regimen. Segregation policies have been reported to lead to a dramatic fall in the incidence of cross infection rates in specialist CF centres. Previously, peers provided a valuable source of information and support; segregation means that there is virtually no contact with other people with CF. In this context the Betterland CD-ROM was developed with the aim of improving knowledge and understanding and helping children and young people cope with time-consuming CF treatments (inhalation therapies and physiotherapy) and painful procedures by using filmed-model approaches. Betterland is an interactive computer game, designed in the style of a theme park. Patient and carer feedback has been positive and the CD-ROM has been incorporated into a nurse-led Moving to High School (MotHS) programme, as well as the patient education work of the CF multidisciplinary team, particularly clinical nurse specialists.

A 16-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis developed 'cepacia syndrome' 9 years after the first isolation of Burkholderia multivorans. It is important to recognise that 'cepacia syndrome' is not restricted to those infected with genomovar type III strains and that rapid, irreversible clinical decline can occur many years after the 1st isolation of Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc).

Abstract
Gender differences in the prescribing patterns of general classes of medications for insomnia were examined. The classes of medications included: zopiclone, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, antihistamines and no medication. The sample comprised a sub-set of respondents from 2620 questionnaires of the Canadian Multicentre Sleep Database. Respondents for this database were contacted through physicians, announcements in the media and local pharmacies. The results indicated that gender alone was not associated with differential prescribing for insomnia, nor was gender associated with patterns of medication use such as frequency of taking medication, length of use, taking more or less medication than prescribed or attempts to stop taking medication. Demographic factors were included in the analysis and age and marital status were associated with different prescribing patterns for men and women with insomnia. It is possible that physicians refer to stereotypic expectations when prescribing hypnotics.

Abstract
We report on an outbreak of colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) that occurred in a United Kingdom pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) unit and involved six children over a period of 5 years. All CRPA-positive children had received aerosolized colistin therapy before first isolation of resistant organisms (mean duration, 3.1 years). Four of the 6 had also received courses of intravenous colistin in the year before the first isolation of CRPA. No impact of CRPA acquisition on respiratory function, clinical condition, or radiological parameters could be demonstrated. Four of the 6 children carried isolates of CRPA indistinguishable on genotyping. Two of these 4 children were sisters. The other 2 were on the same ward together at time of first isolation, and subsequently shared overlapping admissions with one of the sisters. While there is no conclusive evidence for the route of transmission, the frequency of overlapping in-patient admissions between 3 of these patients is suggestive of patient-to-patient transfer in the nosocomial setting.CF clinicians should be aware that colistin resistance can occur in P. aeruginosa, and some of these strains are capable of spread within CF units.

Abstract
Objectives To determine preferences for asthma treatment given as inhaled therapy or as a tablet / syrup, to identify factors that influence this choice, and to assess how many patients would sacrifice greater efficacy of therapy in order to use the delivery route of their choice. Design Postal Questionnaire to patients with an active diagnosis of asthma aged less than 60 years under the care of general practitioners, paediatricians or adult respiratory physicians. Main Outcome Measure Patient preference for inhaled therapy or tablet/syrup. Results 715 replies were analysed (93% Caucasian). 58% (417) preferred tablets (p<0.01) based on an equal chance of symptom improvement. There was no sex difference, but more children aged 6-10 and parents of under 6 year olds preferred tablets or syrup than adults (65% vs. 54%, p=0.03). Preference for tablets increased with number of current inhalers (p<0.05) but there was no correlation with total number of puffs per day or numbers of existing tablets taken. 238 (36%) opted for their preferred route of delivery in preference to greater efficacy. Conclusion More asthmatics would choose a tablet or syrup than another inhaler as add-on therapy for their asthma. This preference was more marked in children and in patients already taking several inhalers. 36% of patients are prepared to sacrifice greater efficacy in favour of their choice of route of delivery.
