'i woke up after i joined stepping stones': meanings of an hiv behavioural intervention in rural south african young people's lives
(2018)
Jewkes, R.; Wood, K.; Duvvury, Nata
Abstract:
Evaluation of the Stepping Stones human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention programme in South Africa showed sustained reduction in men and women's herpes simplex type 2 virus incidence and male violence, but no impact on HIV in women. Companion qualitative research was undertaken to explore how participants made meaning from the programme and how it influenced their lives. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 men and 11 women before the intervention (one to three interviews per person). Then 9-12 months later, 18 follow-up interviews and 4 focus groups were held. Stepping Stones empowered participants and engendered self-reflection, in a process circumscribed by social and cultural context. Participants generally sought to be 'better', rather than 'different', men and women. Men shaped a more benign patriarchy, i.e. less violent and anti-social, and sought to avoid potential risks, ranging from imprisonment, witchcraft to HIV. While some women sho...

A brief review of approaches to oral language development
(2014)
Rafferty, Mary
Abstract:
This review was commissioned by the Centre for Effective Services (CES). It examines evidence in relation to early speech and language development to inform the development of oral language development services in areas of social disadvantage. These areas are part of the Area Based Childhood (ABC) programme, a government initiative targeting investment in evidence-informed interventions to improve outcomes for children and families. The researcher carried out consultation with key experts and service providers and reviewed the international and national evidence base. This review is been written for a non-specialist reader and is likely to be of interest to a wide audience.

Abstract:
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people globally. In light of emerging evidence supporting the effectiveness of school-based suicide prevention programmes, an analysis of cost-effectiveness is required. We aimed to conduct a full cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of the large pan-European school-based RCT, Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE). The health outcomes of interest were suicide attempt and severe suicidal ideation with suicide plans. Adopting a payer’s perspective, three suicide prevention interventions were modelled with a Control over a 12-month time period. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) indicate that the Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) programme has the lowest incremental cost per 1% point reduction in incident for both outcomes and per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained versus the Control. The ICERs reported for YAM were €34.83 and €45.42 per 1% point reduction in incident suicide attempt and incident sev...

Byrne, M.
Abstract:
Objective. To determine the impact of patient (age, gender, type of and time since diagnosis) and practice (rurality, number of partners, availability of practice nurse) characteristics on secondary cardiac care in general practice in a country without universal registration. Methods. Medical and demographic data were gathered from the medical charts of 1611 eligible patients from 35 randomly selected practices. Eligible patients were aged under 80 years with a recorded history of acute myocardial infarction, percutaneous trans coronary arteriogram or angina. Self-report data about diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption were provided from postal questionnaire (1084 patients responded; 69% response rate). Results. Having an angina only diagnosis significantly decreased the likelihood of patients being prescribed aspirin (OR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.40-0.69), lipid-lowering medication (OR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.43-0.69) or ACE inhibitors (OR = 0.62; 95% CI = 0.48-0.81).

O'Reilly, Gary; Morrison, Tony; Sheerin, Declan; Carr, Alan
Abstract:
This article describes a group intervention aimed at promoting change among young people who have engaged in sexually abusive behaviour. The intervention combines two complimentary models of the process of change to produce what we describe as ‘11 Steps of Motivation and Action in Changing Sexually Abusive Behaviour’. A list of these steps can be presented to young people in treatment . Each step also has illustrative stories and accompanying question cards that invite group discussion designed to promote the process of change in young people with sexually abusive behaviour.

A Mobile ECG Monitoring System with Context Collection
(2009)
Li, Jin Peng; Berry, Damon; Hayes, Richard
Abstract:
Preventative health management represents a shift from the traditional approach of reactive treatment-based healthcare towards a proactive wellness-management approach where patients are encouraged to stay healthy with expert support when they need it, at any location and any time. This work represents a step along the road towards proactive, preventative healthcare for cardiac patients. It seeks to develop a smart mobile ECG monitoring system that requests and records context information about what is happening around the subject when an arrhythmia event occurs. Context information about the subject’s activities of daily living will, it is hoped, provide an enriched data set for clinicians and so improve clinical decision making. As a first step towards a mobile cardiac wellness guideline system, the authors present a system which can receive bio-signals that are wirelessly streamed across a body area network from Bluetooth enabled electrocardiographs. The system can store signals ...

Abstract:
Background: This systematic review provides a narrative synthesis of the evidence on the effectiveness of mental health promotion interventions for young people in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Commissioned by the WHO, a review of the evidence for mental health promotion interventions across the lifespan from early years to adulthood was conducted. This paper reports on the findings for interventions promoting the positive mental health of young people (aged 6-18 years) in school and community-based settings. Methods: Searching a range of electronic databases, 22 studies employing RCTs (N = 11) and quasi-experimental designs conducted in LMICs since 2000 were identified. Fourteen studies of school-based interventions implemented in eight LMICs were reviewed; seven of which included interventions for children living in areas of armed conflict and six interventions of multicomponent lifeskills and resilience training. Eight studies evaluating out-of-school community interve...

Absolute risk reduction in osteoporosis: assessing treatment efficacy by number needed to treat
(2018)
Ringe, Johann D.; Doherty, John G.
Abstract:
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a chronic condition due to decreased bone mass, leading to reduced bone strength and increased fracture risk. Currently available pharmacological treatments include antiresorptive agents (bisphosphonates and raloxifene) and bone-forming agents (strontium ranelate and two different parathyroid peptides). Comparison via reduction in relative risk of fracture may produce artificially high reductions in fracture risk for some agents. Responder analysis based on absolute risk reduction (ARR, the arithmetic difference between events rates with and without treatment over a fixed time) and a related parameter, number needed to treat (NNT, the number of patients needed to treat over a fixed time to prevent one event) may provide more reliable parameters. We reviewed placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, pivotal phase 3 trials employed as part of the regulatory process, in order to calculate ARRs and NNTs for vertebral and hip fracture over 3 years for a...

Abstract:
Background: Universal screening using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria has identified a prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of 12.4% in women living in Ireland. Women with prior GDM are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. A number of risk factors linked to the development of type 2 diabetes are potentially modifiable through lifestyle and behaviour changes, and medical management. No previous Irish studies have adequately investigated the efficacy of lifestyle intervention programmes in reducing these risk factors in women with prior GDM. Through a two-group, parallel randomised controlled trial (RCT), this study aims to assess the clinical impact, cost-effectiveness and psychological experience of the Croi MyAction intensive lifestyle modification programme for women with prior GDM. Methods/Design: A total of 54 women with a history of GDM and persistent post-partum glucose dysfunction (i...

An exploration of the patient and family or carer experience of implementing the pressure ulcer prevention care bundle (known as SSKIN) within a regional quality improvement collaborative
(2015)
Fleming, Emma
Abstract:
<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Pressure ulcers (PUs) are common, costly and impact negatively on patients’ quality of life. Bearing this in mind, in Ireland, a regional quality improvement collaborative was established within the Health Service Executive entitled ‘Pressure Ulcers to Zero’, utilizing the SSKIN care bundle in pressure ulcer prevention. As the involvement of patient and family/carer is a central component of health care delivery, this study set out to explore the patient and family/carer experiences and involvement within the collaborative including use of the SSKIN care bundle.</p> <p><br /><strong>Methods:</strong> A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted. Since there were 3 main healthcare settings involved in the collaborative (acute /specialist, residential and primary care), one unit from each of these settings was purposively selected to participate. Following ethical approval and written informed consent,...

Abstract:
Worldwide, millions of patients are affected annually by healthcare-associated infection (HCAI), impacting up to 80,000 patients in European Hospitals on any given day. This represents not only public health risk, but also an economic burden. Complementing routine hand hygiene practices, cleaning and disinfection, antimicrobial coatings hold promise based, in essence, on the application of materials and chemicals with persistent bactericidal or static properties onto surfaces or in textiles used in healthcare environments. The focus of considerable commercial investment and academic research energies, such antimicrobial coating-based approaches are widely believed to have potential in reduction of microbial numbers on surfaces in clinical settings. This belief exists despite definitive evidence as to their efficacy and is based somewhat on positive studies involving, for example, copper, silver or gold ions, titanium or organosilane, albeit under laboratory conditions.

Abstract:
Background and Purpose-For patients with atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke (IS), current guidelines recommend oral anticoagulation (OAC) alone for secondary prevention of IS. In a large prospective cohort of patients with acute IS and atrial fibrillation, we determine the association between antithrombotic regimen on discharge and risk of major vascular events. Methods-Prospective cohort of consecutive patients included in the Ontario Stroke Registry. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine the association between antithrombotic regimen on discharge and time to death or admission for recurrent IS, myocardial infarction, or major bleeding. Results-Two thousand one hundred sixty-two patients were hospitalized atrial fibrillation and acute IS. At discharge, 8.0% were prescribed no antithrombotic therapy, 21.6% antiplatelet therapy alone, 39.3% OAC (warfarin) alone, and 31.1% combination OAC and antiplatelet therapy.

Aspirin In The Prevention Of Pre-Eclampsia: Where Are We Now?
(2018)
Khalid A,; Byrne, B M
Abstract:
Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy specific multi-systemic disorder that causes maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is estimated to complicate between three to five percent of pregnancies and contributes to 8 to 10% of all preterm births1,2. Aspirin inhibits cyclooxygenase in platelets and endothelium in a fashion that alters the balance between the vasoconstrictor thromboxane and the vasodilator prostacyclin. This potentiates vasodilatation and reduces platelet aggregation, contributors to the endothelial dysfunction seen in preeclampsia. Over 100 clinical trials have examined whether or not Aspirin, when prescribed from early pregnancy, can prevent pre-eclampsia, and the consensus is that it reduces the incidence by approximately 10 to 24 % in women that are deemed to be at risk3,4.

Objective: Previous gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with a significant lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes. In this study, we assessed the performance of HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurements against that of 75 g oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) for the follow- up screening of women with previous GDM.Methods: Two hundred and sixty-six women with previous GDM underwent the follow- up testing (mean of 2.6 years (S.D. 1.0) post- index pregnancy) using HbA1c (100%), and 75 g OGTT (89%) or FPG (11%). American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for abnormal glucose tolerance were used.Design, cohort study, and results: The ADA HbA1c high-risk cut-off of 39 mmol/mol yielded sensitivity of 45% (95% CI 32, 59), specificity of 84% (95% CI 78, 88), negative predictive value (NPV) of 87% (95% CI 82, 91) and positive predictive value ( PPV) of 39% (95% CI 27, 52) for detecting abnormal glucose tolerance.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND Data suggest that the adjuvant use of bisphosphonates reduces rates of recurrence and death in patients with early-stage breast cancer. We conducted a study to determine whether treatment with zoledronic acid, in addition to standard adjuvant therapy, would improve disease outcomes in such patients. METHODS In this open-label phase 3 study, we randomly assigned 3360 patients to receive standard adjuvant systemic therapy either with or without zoledronic acid. The zoledronic acid was administered every 3 to 4 weeks for 6 doses and then every 3 to 6 months to complete 5 years of treatment. The primary end point of the study was disease-free survival. A second interim analysis revealed that a prespecified boundary for lack of benefit had been crossed. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 59 months, there was no significant between-group difference in the primary end point, with a rate of disease-free survival of 77% in each group (adjusted hazard ratio in the zoledronic acid gro...

Calf health from birth to weaning. II. Management of diarrhoea in pre-weaned calves
(2014)

Abstract:
Calfhood diseases have a major impact on the economic viability of cattle operations. The second of this three part review series considers the management of diarrhoeic diseases in pre-weaned calves. In neonatal calf diarrhoea, oral rehydration therapy is the single most important therapeutic measure to be carried out by the farmer and is usually successful if instigated immediately after diarrhoea has developed. Continued feeding of milk or milk replacer to diarrhoeic calves is important, to prevent malnourishment and weight loss in affected calves. Indiscriminative antibiotic treatment of uncomplicated diarrhoea is discouraged, whereas systemically ill calves can benefit from systemic antibiotic treatment for the prevention of septicaemia or concurrent diseases. Ancillary treatments and specific preventive measures are discussed. Eimeriosis has a high economic impact on the farming industries due to direct cost of treatment and calf losses, but especially due to decreased performa...

Abstract:
Background: In Botswana, one fifth of the adult population is infected with HIV, with young women most at risk. Structural factors such as poverty, poor education, strong gender inequalities and gender violence render many young women unable to act on choices to protect themselves from HIV. A national trial is testing an intervention to assist young women to access government programs for returning to education, and improving livelihoods. Accessing marginalised young women (aged 16–29 and not in education, employment or training) through door-to-door recruitment has proved inefficient. We investigated social networks of young women to see if an approach based on an understanding of these networks could help with recruitment. Methods: This mixed methods study used social network analysis to identify key young women in four communities (using in-degree centrality), and to describe the types of people that marginalised young women (n = 307) turn to for support (using descriptive statis...

Abstract:
Objective. To evaluate a 12-week group-based lifestyle intervention programme for women with prediabetes following gestational diabetes (GDM). Design. A two-group, mixed methods randomized controlled trial in which 50 women with a history of GDM and abnormal glucose tolerance postpartum were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 24) or wait control (n = 26) and postintervention qualitative interviews with participants. Main Outcome Measures. Modifiable biochemical, anthropometric, behavioural, and psychosocial risk factors associated with the development of type 2 diabetes.
