Worksite Health Promotion and Health Care Costs and Utilization
Authors: David R. Black
Journal: JAMA (1987)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> Problems were raised in two prior Letters to the Editor<sup>1,2</sup>about the article entitled "Impact of Worksite Health Promotion on Health Care Costs and Utilization."<sup>3</sup>The results of the study may also be suspect for the following reasons. The length of the pretreatment period (one year) was inadequate to obtain reliable baseline measurements. In a similar study to evaluate a worksite health promotion program,<sup>4</sup>we collected data for a two-year preassessmentperiod. Large within-group differences were found from one preassessment year to the next. We concluded that a 12-month premeasurement period was too short and recommended that future investigations incorporate a pretreatment period that is long enough to establish a reliable baseline. The entire field needs to adopt a more realistic posture regarding a time frame for baseline assessments if the cost-effectiveness of health promotion programs is to be demonstrated. Inappropriate health care measures were

<h3>In Reply.—</h3> We conducted a retrospective observational study of the effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccination by examining a "real world" cohort of vaccinated persons in the year before and after vaccination. An age- and sex-matched comparison group served only as a reference for pneumonia prevalence in the subsequent year. This design reduced the potential confounding from external factors by using persons as their own controls and objectively supports the outcomes by identifying the 2-year trend in pneumonia without vaccination.<sup>1</sup> Drs Weiss and Foy expressed concern about using persons as their own controls because the high pneumonia rate prior to vaccination might regress to the mean in the subsequent year. In general, this is a valid concern, especially in studies where subjects are selected with abnormally high or low biological variables and no comparison cohort is followed up.<sup>2</sup>However, pneumonia presents a different situation because it is a condition that

Confounding in case-control studies
Authors: P. Sedgwick
Journal: BMJ (2010)

Last week’s question described a population based case-control study that investigated whether infants’ sleeping environment was a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome.1 2 Four controls matched for age, locality, and time of sleep were selected for each case. Infants’ usual sleeping environment in relation to their parents was classified as usual room sleeper (shared room but not the same bed), usual solitary sleeper (slept in room separate from parents), or usual bed sharer (shared bed with parents for more than two nights per week). The researchers also investigated whether parents’ social class was associated with sudden infant death syndrome. The results are presented in the table, which shows the odds ratios of sudden unexpected death for the categories of the infants’ usual sleeping environment for all cases and controls, stratified by socioeconomic class. View this table: Infants’ sleeping environment in relation to parents’ usual night time practice, by socioeconomic group Which of the following statements, if any, are true?
The injured cervical spine. Immediate and long-term immobilization with the halo
Authors: D. J. Prolo
Journal: JAMA (1973)

Optimal management of cervical spine injuries requires immediate immobilization, then reduction, stabilization, early ambulation, and decreased time in bed. The halo skeletal fixation instrument provides a convenient means of exerting immediate traction in the acute stage and skeletal fixation during the chronic stage while bony repair and union are occurring. It offers numerous advantages over the more traditional skull tong traction and extended bed rest, the most salient of which are patient comfort and safety. Its application and maintenance are simple, complications of its use are infrequent and minor, and hospitalization time is markedly reduced.
Interspecies Variation in Myocardial Physiology: The Anomalous Rat
Authors: Glenn A. Langer
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1978)

The heart of the adult rat has long been recognized to be anomalous in at least two respects: an absent or negative inotropic response to an increase in rate of electrical stimulation (negative staircase); resistance to digitalis glycosides. The heart of the neonatal rat (less than 2 weeks old), on the other hand, demonstrates a markedly positive staircase and a large increase in force upon application of glycoside. It is significant that the action potential of the neonate ventricle demonstrates a prolonged plateau component which progressively decreases with age. The shortening of the plateau correlates with the disappearance of the positive staircase and glycoside responses. Previous studies indicated that a major factor contributing to the prolonged plateau of the neonate was a high level of sodium (Na) conductance. Thus transmembranous Na movement associated with excitation is considerably greater in the neonatal heart as compared to the heart of the adult rat. The higher level of intracellular Na would produce increased activity of a proposed sodium-calcium (Na-Ca) carrier. This is believed to mediate the augmented influx of Ca which is responsible for positive staircase and glycoside responses. Ventricular muscle from the hearts of most mammalian species demonstrates a prolonged plateau with maintenance of a "slow" channel for Na. It appears that in the rat this channel closes with age. It follows that there would be a reduced tendency for the adult rat heart to accumulate intracellular Na, [Na]i, when excitation frequency is increased or the Na pump is inhibited by digitalis. Since elevation of [Na]i is the stimulus for the proposed Na-Ca carrier, this system would not be activated, Ca influx would not increase and contractility would not be augmented.
SAT0316 Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (Rapid3) is a Valid Index for Routine Care in Patients with Osteoarthritis
Authors: A. Lurati, D. bompane, M. marrazza, K. A. Re, M. scarpellini
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2013)

<h3>Background</h3> RAPID3 (routine assessment of patient index data) is an arithmetic composite index of three Core Data Set, patient self-report, measures: physical function (0-3 converted to 0-10), pain (0-10), and patient global estimate (0-10) for a total of 0-30. It can be completed in the waiting room and can be calculated in only few seconds. <h3>Objectives</h3> Aim of this study was to compare RAPID3 with the Western Ontario and Mc-Master Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) in patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) <h3>Methods</h3> patients with symptomatic knee or hip osteoarthritis as main rheumatologic diagnosis (VAS pain &gt; 50 on a visual scale 0-100mm) according to the ACR (American College of Rheumatology) criteria and with stage 2 or 3 according to the Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic criteria were eligible. All subjects were clinically evaluated individually by an experienced rheumatologist and were asked to complete the self-report questionnaires (the original version of the WOMAC for hip or knee osteoarthritis and the RAPID3). There was no specific order in which the tests were completed; rather, each participant selected the order. Agreement between WOMAC and RAPID3 scores was estimated with rho Spearman correlation statistic. Cronbach's alpha also was determined to evaluate the internal consistency of RAPID3 items <h3>Results</h3> 218 patients (63 males, 155 females) with hip (n=93) or knee (n=125) osteoarthritis were enrolled in daily practice clinical care during 2010-2012. Mean age (±SD) was 62±7.4 years old. Mean score was 58±8.1 for WOMAC and 7.2±1.5 for RAPID3. RAPID3 and WOMAC have shown a global correlation rho index of 0.78 (p&lt;0.01) and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.94. Computing analysis for diagnosis, the means of WOMAC and RAPID3 weren't significantly different between patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis (62± 7.2 vs 63±3.8 and 6.2±2.6 vs 6.3±2.8, respectively. p&gt;0.05). The Spearman's rho was 0.78 for hip osteoarthritis (p&lt;0.01) and 0.84 for knee osteoarthritis. Cronbach alpha was 0.91 for hip osteoarthritis (p&lt; 0.01) and 0.85 for knee osteoarthritis, respectively <h3>Conclusions</h3> Up to date there's not literature about the use of RAPID3 in patients with OA. In our study we found a strong correlation between RAPID3 and WOMAC in patients with either hip and knee OA. RAPID3 provide informative quantitative data for patient status from one visit to the next comparable to other self-reported questionnaire as WOMAC in a time sparing manner <h3>Disclosure of Interest</h3> None Declared
Bromocriptine-induced pregnancy in an acromegalic patient
Authors: R. Luboshitzky
Journal: JAMA (1980)

A 30-year-old acromegalic woman with amenorrhea and elevated growth hormone and prolactin levels was treated with bromocriptine. Growth hormone levels remained elevated, while prolactin levels decreased to normal. Forty days after initiating treatment the patient menstruated and conceived shortly afterward. The uneventful pregnancy terminated in delivery of a normal baby, who has been developing normally since. No changes in the size of the sella turcica or the visual fields were noted during pregnancy and up to one year after delivery. Resumption of ovulatory menses is possible when treating acromegalic women with bromocriptine. Hyperprolactinemia rather than elevated growth hormone levels or reduced gonadotropins reserve is probably the cause for amenorrhea in some of the acromegalic patients. (<i>JAMA</i>244:584-586, 1980)

Anthrax Inquiry
Authors: J. C. Milne
Journal: BMJ (1957)

<h3>Background</h3> Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder of posture and movement caused by prenatal or perinatal lesions of the brain. Children with CP are also at increased risk of other disabilities, for example, intellectual disability. Previous studies suggest the risk of intellectual disability varies in complex ways according to the type of motor impairment and perinatal factors such as gestational age. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the patterns of risk of intellectual disability in children with spastic CP. <h3>Design</h3> Cross-sectional, population-based study using the Northern Ireland Cerebral Palsy Register. <h3>Participants</h3> Persons born in 1981–2008 with congenital bilateral or unilateral spastic CP (N=1452). <h3>Outcome measure</h3> The outcome measure was severe intellectual disability (IQ &lt;50), as reported by clinicians known to the child. Data pertaining to CP subtype, sex, gestational age, birth weight and functional level were included in analyses. <h3>Results</h3> Severe intellectual disability was significantly more prevalent in children with bilateral spastic CP (BSCP) compared with children with unilateral spastic CP (χ² (2)=162.60, p&lt;0.001). Compared with very preterm infants with BSCP, the risk of intellectual disability increased in moderately preterm (OR=3.97, 95% CI 1.04 to 15.23) and at-term (OR=2.51, 95% CI 1.16 to 5.44) children with BSCP. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Children with BSCP are at increased risk of intellectual disability, with those born at term at the highest risk. The findings highlight the importance of early screening, particularly for children with BSCP born at term.
