Input: Consider Input: Context: Obstetric cholestasis is a cholestatic disease usually commencing in the third trimester of pregnancy and characterized by pruritus, elevation of liver enzymes, and increase in bile acids. The objective of this study was to compare the first trimester serum indicators of obstetric cholestasis with normal pregnancies.', 'Thirty-five patients diagnosed with obstetric cholestasis in a three-year period with first trimester biochemical assessment available were included in the study. Seventy patients with concordant pregnancy weeks, matched-age normal pregnancies were included as the control group. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) levels were analyzed.', 'No difference was observed between the two groups in terms of age and week of pregnancy. While the mean PAPP-A level was 0.76 0.31 multiples of the medians (MoM) in the obstetric cholestasis group, it was determined to be 1.5 0.84 in the control group (p = 0.0001). Among the two groups, the hCG levels were found to be higher in the obstetric cholestasis group (1.2 0.79 MoM vs. 0.98 0.53, p = 0.041).
Answer: In this study, the first trimester PAPP-A levels in the obstetric cholestasis cases were found to be significantly lower than the control group. Low PAPP-A levels should be a warning for obstetric cholestasis.

Output: Are pregnancy-associated plasma protein a levels decreased in obstetric cholestasis?

Input: Consider Input: Context: For many decades, the debate on children's competence to give informed consent in medical settings concentrated on ethical and legal aspects, with little empirical underpinnings. Recently, data from empirical research became available to advance the discussion. It was shown that children's competence to consent to clinical research could be accurately assessed by the modified MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool for Clinical Research. Age limits for children to be deemed competent to decide on research participation have been studied: generally children of 11.2 years and above were decision-making competent, while children of 9.6 years and younger were not. Age was pointed out to be the key determining factor in children's competence. In this article we reflect on policy implications of these findings, considering legal, ethical, developmental and clinical perspectives.
Answer: Although assessment of children's competence has a normative character, ethics, law and clinical practice can benefit from research data. The findings may help to do justice to the capacities children possess and challenges they may face when deciding about treatment and research options. We discuss advantages and drawbacks of standardized competence assessment in children on a case-by-case basis compared to application of a fixed age limit, and conclude that a selective implementation of case-by-case competence assessment in specific populations is preferable. We recommend the implementation of age limits based on empirical evidence. Furthermore, we elaborate on a suitable model for informed consent involving children and parents that would do justice to developmental aspects of children and the specific characteristics of the parent-child dyad. Previous research outcomes showed that children's medical decision-making capacities could be operationalized into a standardized assessment instrument. Recommendations for policies include a dual consent procedure, including both child as well as parents, for children from the age of 12 until they reach majority. For children between 10 and 12 years of age, and in case of children older than 12 years in special research populations of mentally compromised patients, we suggest a case-by-case assessment of children's competence to consent. Since such a dual consent procedure is fundamentally different from a procedure of parental permission and child assent, and would imply a considerable shift regarding some current legislations, practical implications are elaborated.

Output: Is informed consent instead of assent appropriate in children from the age of twelve : Policy implications of new findings on children 's competence to consent to clinical research?

Input: Consider Input: Context: To compare cuff pressures during nitrous oxide exposure in the new Microcuff pediatric tracheal tube (MPT) with ultrathin high volume - low pressure polyurethane cuff to a tube with a standard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cuff.', 'With approval of the local Ethics Committee, 30 pediatric patients requiring tracheal intubation [tube size internal diameter (ID) 4.0 mm, or ID 7.0 mm) were included. Patients were randomly divided in three groups: A) MPT, baseline cuff pressure 20 cm H(2)O; B) PVC, baseline cuff pressure 20 cm H(2)O; and C) MPT, baseline cuff pressure set to sealing pressure. Anesthesia technique and ventilator settings were standardized. The time required for cuff pressure to increase to 25 cm H(2)O was recorded and pressure reduced to baseline. The number of gas removals required during the first hour was noted. Data are median (range). Groups were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test (P < 0.05).', 'There were no differences between groups in patient characteristics. PVC and MPT cuffs inflated to a baseline pressure of 20 cm H(2)O were similar regarding the time to first removal of gas [A: nine minutes (4-24), B: eight minutes (4-46)], and number of removals required [A: four (2-6), B: three (1-5)]. In MPT with baseline pressure set to sealing pressure [10 cm H(2)O (8-14)] time to first gas removal and number of removals were significantly less (P < 0.05).
Answer: When baseline inflation pressure was set at 20 cm H(2)O, cuff pressure increased similarly in MPT and PVC tubes. When inflated just to sealing pressure, the MPT allowed a longer time interval until the upper limit of 25 cm H(2)O was reached.
Output: Does the Microcuff tube allow a longer time interval until unsafe cuff pressures are reached in children?
