Abstract
Throughout the history of crop domestication, desirable traits have been selected in agricultural products. However, such selection often leads to crops and vegetables with weaker vitality and viability than their wild ancestors when exposed to adverse environmental conditions. Considering the increasing human population and climate change challenges, it is crucial to enhance crop quality and quantity. Accordingly, the identification and utilization of diverse genetic resources are imperative for developing disease-resistant plants that can withstand unexpected epidemics of plant diseases. In this review, we provide a brief overview of recent progress in genome-editing technologies, including zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) technologies. In particular, we classify disease-resistant mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana and several crop plants based on the roles or functions of the mutated genes in plant immunity and suggest potential target genes for molecular breeding of genome-edited disease-resistant plants. Genome-editing technologies are resilient tools for sustainable development and promising solutions for coping with climate change and population increases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pediatric Crohn's disease (CD), commercial formulas used as exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) are effective at inducing remission. This study aims to assess the impact of a whole-food blended smoothie as EEN on CD activity and the intestinal microbiome. METHODS A 4-week prospective trial assessed the impact of EEN with a whole-food smoothie on newly diagnosed mild-to-moderate active pediatric CD. The smoothie with a multivitamin were developed to meet age-appropriate nutritional requirements. Assessment over 4 weeks included Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI), serum laboratories, fecal calprotectin (FCP), and stool collection for metagenomic shotgun sequencing and microbiota composition analysis. Clinical remission was defined as PCDAI ≤ 10 at week 4. RESULTS Ten participants were enrolled with median age 14.5 years, and 8 completed the trial. Baseline mean PCDAI was 26.3 ± 9.1 and mean FCP 1149 ± 718 µg/g. At week 4, 80% of participants achieved clinical remission. FCP decreased by over half in 60% of participants, with FCP below 250 µg/g in 60% and below 100 µg/g in 40%. Microbiome analysis showed a significant increase in species richness over 4 weeks (p = 0.01). Compared to baseline, the relative abundance at week 2 and at week 4 was significantly increased for Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus and decreased for Blautia (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION A whole-food blended smoothie was effective for inducing clinical remission and decreasing FCP in pediatric CD similar to commercial EEN formulas. Further research may give insight into data-driven whole-food dietary approaches for CD management. CLINICALTRIALS gov NCT03508193.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess if the distribution of villous intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) in a pediatric cohort with Marsh I histopathology is specific to celiac disease (CeD). METHODS Multicenter, retrospective case-control study between January 2001 and December 2019 in children (<18 years) with and without CeD with intraepithelial lymphocytosis and normal villous architecture. Pathology specimens were reviewed by 2 study pathologists who were blinded to the final diagnosis. Morphologic features (villous height to crypt depth ratio [Vh:Cd]) and IELs in the villous tip, top, or bottom half of the villus were quantified. RESULTS Of the 97 children with Marsh I histopathology identified during the study period, 63 were excluded due to an insufficient number of well-oriented villous-crypt complexes or a Vh:Cd less than 2. Villous IELs were measured in 34 cases (14 CeD, 20 non-CeD controls). There was no difference between the non-CeD and CeD groups in the mean IELs at the villous tip (14.0 ± 7.1 vs 11.7 ± 6.0, P = .31), top (46.4 ± 18.4 vs 38.3 ± 10.8, P = .11), or bottom (29.8 ± 16.8 vs 28.5 ± 12.8, P = .80) half of each villus, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The distribution of IELs in Marsh I lesions is not specific for CeD.

Abstract
The present retrospective study evaluated intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication burden after bimatoprost sustained-release (bimatoprost SR, Durysta, Allergan) implantation in patients with glaucoma. A secondary objective was to examine an effect of bimatoprost SR in a subset of patients with prior minimally invasive and incisional glaucoma surgery. A retrospective chart review of 122 eyes that received bimatoprost SR by 6 glaucoma specialists at Wills Eye Hospital between March 2020 and September 2021 was performed. One hundred and eighteen eyes from 84 patients had a reduction in IOP (18.5±5.7mmHg vs. 16.0±5.4mmHg, P<0.01) and required fewer glaucoma medications (2.1±1.4 vs. 1.2±1.2, P<0.01) after bimatoprost SR implantation. In 41 eyes from 31 patients who previously underwent glaucoma surgery (including iStent, goniotomy, trabeculectomy, Xen Gel Stent, or tube shunt surgery), medication burden was decreased after bimatoprost SR implantation (1.9±1.3 vs. 1.0±1.0, P<0.001). These data suggest that bimatoprost SR is an efficacious treatment modality for glaucoma, even in post-surgical patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to compare the fracture resistance of chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) lithium disilicate-reinforced ceramic occlusal veneers with and without margin and traditional full coverage premolar crowns. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 60 chairside CAD/CAM lithium disilicate-reinforced ceramic (Amber Mill, Hass Bio) restorations were designed and fabricated with a chairside CAD/CAM system (CEREC Dentsply Sirona). The restorations were divided into three groups (n=20): 1) occlusal veneer with 1.0-mm uniform occlusal thickness and with chamfer margin; 2) occlusal veneer with 1.0-mm uniform occlusal thickness and without margin; and 3) full coverage crown with uniform occlusal thickness and gingival margin. Occlusal veneers and crowns were cemented with dual cured resin luting cement (Multilink, Ivoclar Vivadent) to printed resin dies, load cycled (5 million load cycles at 1 Hz with 275 N force), and then loaded until fracture. Load at break (LB) and peak load (PL) until fracture were recorded. Scanning electron microscope images of the tested restorations on the abutments were obtained. RESULTS Fracture strengths were different depending on the design of the restoration. There was no significant difference in fracture strength between the two types of occlusal veneer (LB: 1132.45 N; PL: 1143.30 N for veneers with margin; LB: 1149.25 N; PL: 1219.05 N for veneers without margin). Full coverage crowns showed the lowest fracture resistance (LB: 936.26 N, PL: 976.42 N), which was significantly lower than both designs of occlusal veneer. CONCLUSIONS The fracture resistance of the CAD/CAM lithium disilicate-reinforced ceramic restorations was influenced by the design. Occlusal veneers with and without margin displayed higher fracture resistance than traditional crowns.

Abstract
Gluten challenge is an essential clinical tool that involves reintroducing or increasing the amount of gluten in the diet to facilitate diagnostic testing in celiac disease (CD). Nevertheless, there is no consensus regarding the applications of gluten timing, dosing, and duration in children. This review aims to summarize the current evidence, discuss practical considerations, and proposes a clinical algorithm to help guide testing in pediatric patients. Childhood development, social circumstances, and long-term health concerns must be considered when identifying a candidate for gluten challenge. Based on previous studies, the authors suggest baseline serology followed by a minimum of 3-6 grams of gluten per day for over 12 weeks to optimize diagnostic accuracy for evaluation of CD. A formal provider check-in at 4-6 weeks is essential so the provider and family can adjust dosing or duration as needed. Increasing the dose of gluten further may improve diagnostic yield if tolerated, although in select cases a lower dose and shorter course (6-12 weeks) may be sufficient. There is consensus that mild elevations in celiac serology (<10 times the upper limit of normal) or symptoms, while supportive are not diagnostic for CD. Current North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition guidelines recommend histologic findings of intraepithelial lymphocytosis, crypt hyperplasia, and villous atrophy as the accurate and most appropriate endpoint for gluten challenge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) MRI-Linac guided radiotherapy is a novel treatment modality allowing for daily online adaptation of contours and treatment planning. MRI-Linac prostate SBRT (MRL-SBRT) has recently been shown to provide a tangible benefit in decreasing both acute and late toxicity, due to the ability to evaluate soft tissue contrast, directly monitor organ motion, and anatomical changes during the entire treatment course. Multiple MRI-Linac platforms are available, which provide different advantages with regards to imaging and motion management. We undertook this study to assess coverage of the clinical target volume with use of a standard PTV margin in patients receiving either adapt-to-position (ATP) only treatment or a combination of adapt-to-position and adapt-to-shape (ATP+ATS) on the Elekta Unity MR-Linac. MATERIALS/METHODS Data was collected retrospectively in patients who underwent prostate SBRT using a 1.5 T MR-Linac (Unity, Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden). Prior to each fraction, determination of ATP or ATS planning was at the discretion of the treating physician. Prostate and organs at risk (OAR's) were contoured on the reference MRI and daily MR image sets acquired prior to each fraction. The prostate PTV consisted of a 5mm margin, except 3mm posteriorly. Contours were merged to account for target and OAR volumes during all fractions. Target volumes from the reference plan were then compared to the clinical target volume (CTV) on pre-treatment MR-Linac imaging as well as intersection with OAR's. RESULTS Nineteen men, median age 72 years (range 67-75), with prostate cancer underwent treatment from May 2021 to January 2023 with MRL-SBRT. The average time for ATP vs ATP+ATS was 45 minutes (range 35-60) and 60 minutes (range 50-80), respectively. The mean CTV treated was 43.4cc (range 31-60) for ATP and 51.8cc (range 36-67) for ATP+ATS. Prior to plan adaptation, target volumes in 92.6% of fractions were not covered completely by the PTV. In the ATP cohort, 89% of fractions had a portion of the CTV uncovered with an average of 2.9cc. In the ATP+ATS cohort, 96.4% had a portion of the CTV uncovered, with an average of 6.9cc. There was no difference in the amount of PTV intersection for ATP or ATP+ATS plans with the rectum (1.1cc vs. 1.5cc) and bladder (9.2cc vs. 12.6cc), respectively. All patients completed the planned course of treatment. CONCLUSION Adaptive radiation therapy for prostate cancer utilizing an MR-Linac based approach with the Elekta Unity was feasible for patients requiring either ATP only or ATP+ATS plans. As expected, ATS plans required longer treatment time, allowing for improved coverage of the target when deemed clinically necessary. Despite a larger overall volume treated in ATS plans, there was no difference in overlap with OARs between ATP and ATS plans. Adaption for each daily fraction and intrafraction motion monitoring improved CT coverage with our pre-specified PTV margin.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Accurate measurement of daily target motion on online plan adaptation is essential for re-optimizing the internal target volume (ITV) margins. In this study, by analyzing 2D cine MR images acquired in a 1.5T MR-Linac, we assessed daily target motion and its inter-fractional variations, which is then used to customize ITV margins for MR-based online adaptive plan of liver and pancreatic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS/METHODS Twenty-threepatients, enrolled in this study, underwent MR-guided online adaptive SBRT on 1.5 T MR-Linac: liver (n = 12 without compression belt (CB), n = 2 with CB) and pancreas (n = 9 with CB). Target motion in a 2D coronal and sagittal MR images (> 200 cine images to cover multiple breathing cycles), as well as a set of 4D-CT images during the simulation, was analyzed to determine patient specific ITV margins for a reference plan. On every fraction of online adaptive SBRT, the 2D MR images were exported to commercially available software along with a planning MR images: a T1-wighted MR image set for pancreas and or a navigated T2-wighted MR image set for liver. Daily target motion was then measured by overlaying the orthogonal cine image set on the T1- or T2-wighted image set. The ITV margin was adjusted when required prior to online plan optimization RESULTS: Thisstudy successfully assessed the daily target motion and inter-fractional variations in 23 liver or pancreatic cancer patients. We found a discrepancy of daily target motion of orthogonal 2D cine MR images from that of 4D-CT, required to adjust the ITV margin for online plan adaptation. In liver SBRT without CB, 15 out of 45 fractions from 12 patients (33.3 %) went through adjusted ITV margin. The tumor motion was large up to a 2.2 cm along the inferior direction in a patient without CB and thus the patient was treated on a conventional Linac with the active breathing control (ABC) unit for breath-hold. On the other hand, no adjustments were necessary for 2 liver patients with CB. In 9 patients with pancreatic cancers, we found the inter-fractional ITV variations in 3 out of 45 fractions (6.7 %) adjusted the ITV margin. The daily target motion in the pancreatic patients with CB was more stable and relatively smaller than that of the liver patients. CONCLUSION Theorthogonal 2D cine MR images are evidently essential for assessing daily target motion to evaluate the inter-fractional variation and achieve daily ITV-customized liver and pancreatic SBRT in the 1.5 T MR-Linac. The customized ITV approach will improve the treatment outcome of the MR-guided online adaptive therapy.

Abstract
The delivery of comprehensive sexuality education to adolescents at school is recognized as a long-term strategy to support adolescent health. Suboptimal sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes among South African adolescents necessitate the ongoing development and optimization of SRH education and promotion models. We conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial amongst secondary schools (n = 38) in Cape Town, South Africa, to evaluate a sport-based, near-peer-led SRH curriculum, SKILLZ, amongst female learners (n = 2791). Biomedical (sexually transmitted infections [STIs], human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] and pregnancy) and socio-behavioural (social support, gender norms and self-concept) outcomes were assessed pre and post intervention. Attendance at SKILLZ was low and intervention participants did not show an improvement in SRH outcomes, with HIV and pregnancy incidence remaining stable and STI prevalence remaining high and increasing in both control and intervention arms. Although evidence of positive socio-behavioural measures was present at baseline, participants with high attendance showed further improvement in positive gender norms. SKILLZ did not demonstrate the capacity to significantly impact clinical SRH outcomes. Modest improvements in outcomes amongst high attenders suggest that the impact may be possible with improved attendance; however, in the absence of optimal attendance, alternative intervention strategies may be required to improve SRH outcomes amongst adolescents.

Abstract
Key Points The adjustments made by the dialysis units during the peak of the pandemic were effective in maneuvering the challenges faced by our patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients who remained on PD were satisfied with the quality of care, felt supported by the unit staff, and did not report feeling anxious or depressed. Background During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, adjustments were made to peritoneal dialysis (PD) practices in the outpatient units. These were decisions made by dialysis providers, clinical staff, and governments with input from patient organizations in some instances. The patient perspective regarding these changes during the pandemic has not been explored. We sought to evaluate patient experiences and perceptions of the challenges they faced, institutional adjustments, and their mental health during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey of PD patients across four home dialysis units affiliated with four large academic centers, who were on PD between March 2020 and March 2021. Results Ninety-eight participants completed the survey across the four outpatient PD clinics. Over 95% of patients did not have to change their home accommodations during the pandemic, and over 80% did not have issues getting their dialysis supplies and medications delivered. Ninety-three percent of patients felt comfortable coming to the dialysis unit if they needed to during the pandemic. Almost all patients (98%) felt supported by their dialysis staff during the peak of COVID-19 and had modified Patient Health Questionnaire 2 (91%) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item (96%) scores not consistent with depression or anxiety. Less than 10% of patients considered changing their dialysis modality. Conclusions The adjustments made by the dialysis units during the peak of the pandemic were effective in maneuvering the challenges faced by our patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, patients who remained on PD were satisfied with the quality of care, felt supported by the unit staff, and did not report feeling anxious or depressed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to quantify the difference in mortality inequalities using the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) and the Income and Employment Index (IEI; a subindex of SIMD, which excludes health) as ranking measures in Scotland. STUDY DESIGN This ecological study was a cross-sectional analysis of routine administrative data. METHODS Data from the 2020 SIMD and the subindex using data from only the Income and Employment domains, the IEI, were obtained. The correlation between data zones, percentage of data zones that changed deprivation tenth and differences in the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Relative Index of Inequality (RII) for Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMRs) across tenths were compared when data zones were ranked by SIMD and IEI. RESULTS There was a close correlation between data zones ranked by SIMD and IEI (R2 = 0.96). When data zones were ranked by IEI, 18.7% of data zones moved to a lower deprivation tenth, and 20.8% of data zones moved to a higher deprivation tenth, compared with SIMD. However, only a negligible number of data zones moved two or more tenths. The SMRs across deprivation tenths were very similar between the SIMD and IEI, as were the summary health inequality measures of SII (87.3 compared with 85.7) and RII (0.88 and 0.86). CONCLUSION Although there is a logical problem in using deprivation indices that include health outcomes to rank areas to calculate the scale of health inequalities, the impact of using an alternative subindex containing only data from the income and employment domains is minimal. For population-wide analyses of health inequalities in Scotland, the SIMD does not introduce a substantial bias in the health inequalities summary measures despite substantial movement of small areas between ranked population tenths. Although not examined here, this is likely to be relevant to other similar indices across the United Kingdom.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Area-based deprivation indices are used in many countries to target interventions and policies to populations with the greatest needs. Analyses of the Carstairs deprivation index applied to postcode sectors in 2001 identified that less than half of all deprived individuals lived in the most deprived areas. OBJECTIVE This article examines the specificity and sensitivity of deprivation indices across Great Britain in identifying individuals claiming income- and employment-related social security benefits. STUDY DESIGN This was a descriptive analysis of cross-sectional administrative data. METHODS The data sets for the 2020 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, Scottish Income and Employment Index, the 2019 English Index of Multiple Deprivation and the 2019 Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation were obtained. For each data set, small areas were ranked by increasing overall deprivation, and the cumulative proportions of individuals who were income and employment deprived were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to show the sensitivity and specificity of each index, and the percentages of income- and employment-deprived individuals captured at different overall deprivation thresholds were calculated. RESULTS Across all indices, the sensitivity and specificity for detecting income- and employment-deprived individuals were low, with less than half living in the most deprived 20% of areas. Between 55% and 62% of income-deprived people and between 56% and 63% of employment-deprived people were missed across the indices at the 20% deprivation threshold. The sensitivity and specificity were slightly higher for income deprivation than employment deprivation across indices and slightly higher for the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation and Scottish Income and Employment Index than for the English Index of Multiple Deprivation and Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. CONCLUSION Area-based deprivation measures in Great Britain have limited sensitivity and specificity for identifying individuals who are income or employment deprived. Place-based policies and interventions are unlikely to be effective at reducing inequalities as a result. Creation of individually linked data sets and interventions that recognise the social and economic relationships between social groups are likely to be more effective.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is nearly three times higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than the general population. These patients have an increased risk of stroke and systemic thromboembolism (SSE) as well as bleeding. The role for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in those with advanced CKD and AF remains controversial. Studies show that patients on DOACs for AF with advanced CKD have similar risk of SSE and bleeding compared to those on warfarin, but these failed to account for changes in renal function over time.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the pattern of oral anticoagulant prescribing, class switching, discontinuation and renal function trajectory in patients with AF in the last decade, coinciding with the development of DOACs.
Methods
Using linked administrative databases, we assessed patients 66 years of age and older with a new diagnosis of non-valvular AF between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2020 who were started on oral anticoagulation within 90 days of diagnosis. Participants required a baseline serum creatinine (Cr) measurement in the year preceding AF diagnosis. Cr values were used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation. Kidney function was tracked at baseline and longitudinally among patients prescribed DOACs versus warfarin using the Laboratories Information System. Anticoagulant class switching was tracked and discontinuation was defined if a new prescription for anticoagulation was not filled after 90 days of their last prescription ending.
Results
A total of 57,574 participants were included in the study; 48,662 were started on DOACs and 8,912 were started on warfarin. In April 2012, 83.8% of patients were prescribed warfarin; however, the proportion of first prescriptions significantly evolved over time to DOACs (Figure 1). Of those started on DOACs, 13,383 (27.5%) discontinued therapy, 34,918 (71.8%) remained on therapy and 361 (0.7%) switched to warfarin. The rate of discontinuation among those started on warfarin was higher with 4,144 (46.5%) stopping, 3,172 (35.6%) continuing therapy and 1,596 (17.9%) switching to DOACs. Most patients (75.6%) who switched to DOACs from warfarin remained on DOACs until the occurrence of dialysis, renal transplantation, death, or the last follow-up date (March 31, 2020). At baseline, the mean eGFR in the warfarin group was 56.2 compared with 66.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the DOAC group (p<0.01). Over the course of study, more than half of the subjects in both groups had a 20% or more decline in eGFR (Figure 2).
Conclusion
Given the degree of renal function decline and frequency of anticoagulant class switching in our cohort, existing observational studies comparing DOACs to warfarin in patients with AF and CKD may be limited. In order to better compare DOACs to warfarin in this population, time-varying covariates like renal function should be included in modelling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
Post-fracture care (PFC) programs evaluate and manage patients with a minimal trauma or fragility fracture to prevent subsequent fractures. We conducted a literature review to understand current trends in PFC publications, evaluate key characteristics of PFC programs, and assess their clinical effectiveness, geographic variations, and cost-effectiveness. We performed a search for peer-reviewed articles published between January 2003 and December 2020 listed in PubMed or Google Scholar. We categorized identified articles into 4 non-mutually exclusive PFC subtopics based on keywords and abstract content: PFC Types, PFC Effectiveness/Success, PFC Geography, and PFC Economics. The literature search identified 784 eligible articles. Most articles fit into multiple PFC subtopics (PFC Types, 597; PFC Effectiveness/Success, 579; PFC Geography, 255; and PFC Economics, 98). The number of publications describing how PFC programs can improve osteoporosis treatment rates has markedly increased since 2003; however, publication gaps remain, including low numbers of publications from some countries with reported high rates of osteoporosis and/or hip fractures. Fracture liaison services and geriatric/orthogeriatric services were the most common models of PFC programs, and both were shown to be cost-effective. We identified a need to expand and refine PFC programs and to standardize patient identification and reporting on quality improvement measures. Although there is an increasing awareness of the importance of PFC programs, publication gaps remain in most countries. Improvements in established PFC programs and implementation of new PFC programs are still needed to enhance equitable patient care to prevent occurrence of subsequent fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Widespread variation in the diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has previously been reported among adult gastroenterologists; however, variation in EoE practice in among pediatric populations is poorly characterized. The study objectives were to describe guideline adherence and understand reasons for variation in EoE practice among pediatric gastroenterologists following publication of the updated 2018 international EoE guidelines. METHODS We developed and administered a 28-item survey to pediatric gastroenterologists via an email listserv using the PEDGI Bulletin Board from 03/2019 to 04/2019. The survey was developed using evidence-based review, expert validation, and cognitive interviews. Survey domains included respondent knowledge of and adherence to published guidelines, diagnostic and management approach and rationale, and participant demographics. Analysis included descriptive statistics and tests for association. RESULTS A total of 288 pediatric gastroenterologists completed the survey, most of whom practiced in an academic center (73%). More than half (63%) reported knowledge of the 2018 updated guidelines; however, only 52% agreed with them and 50% reported adherence. Respondents who reported not agreeing with updated guidelines cited concerns regarding increasing number of endoscopies (72%), misdiagnosing eosinophilia from reflux (56%), and insufficient data (23%). The most common drivers of decision making with respect to therapy choice were patient/family preference, evidence/guidelines, and symptom burden. CONCLUSIONS Many physicians are not adherent to current guidelines for reasons which include lack of knowledge of updated guidelines and concern regarding the strength of the supporting evidence. This study elucidates several areas to enhance education regarding these guidelines to promote widespread adherence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assessed the diagnostic utility of deamidated gliadin peptide immunoglobulin G (DGP-IgG) in pediatric patients without immunoglobulin A deficiency who underwent tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A (TTG-IgA) screening and biopsy. METHODS Patients who had TTG-IgA performed in our laboratory had sample frozen over a 1.5 y. If a patient underwent biopsy within 6 months of serology, DGP-IgG was performed on frozen sample. All testing was performed on the BioPlex 2200. Biopsies were assigned a modified Marsh-Oberhuber score. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated for TTG-IgA and DGP-IgG for values ≥ 15 u/ml, 15-149 u/ml, and > 150 u/ml using biopsy as gold standard. RESULTS A total of 458 patients were included. Sensitivity and specificity for DGP-IgG ≥ 15 u/ml and Marsh ≥ 2 was 76% and 87.5% and TTG-IgA ≥ 15 was notably higher at 93.3% and 92.2%. Sensitivity and specificity of DGP-IgG were 66% and 88.9% at moderate and 29.3% and 98.4% at high increases. The positive predictive value of DGP-IgG for celiac disease in TTG-IgA negative patients was 2.8%. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests DGP-IgG does not add significant value in patients screened for celiac disease.

Abstract
Acute gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GI GVHD) is a complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplant with high morbidity and mortality. In particular, steroid-refractory GI GVHD can be difficult to treat. Recent investigations have revealed that patients after transplant can experience intestinal dysbiosis contributing to the progression of GVHD. Modulation of the gut microbiome through dietary intake could potentially improve the intestinal dysbiosis in GI GVHD. In this case series, we present 3 patients where dietary therapy was used in conjunction with immunosuppression to achieve clinical remission of GI GVHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to examine the rates of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after hospital discharge among COVID-19 survivors and to determine the associated risk factors. METHODS Adult COVID-19 survivors discharged from hospitals between March 2020 and March 2021 were asked to complete a questionnaire at 4 weeks after discharge. The Chinese version of the 22-item Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) was used to measure symptoms of PTSD. The 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to assess symptoms of major depressive disorder. The 7-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) was used to measure symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder. The rates of anxiety, depression, and PTSD among discharged patients were determined, as were associations between psychosocial factors and outcome measures and predictors for moderate-tosevere symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. RESULTS 96 men and 103 women aged 18 to 81 years returned the completed questionnaire. 12.1% to 20.1% of them reported symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Higher symptom severity was associated with higher perceived life threat, lower emotional support, lower disease severity upon admission, and longer hospital stay. Women had more PTSD symptoms than men, particularly when knowing someone under quarantine. CONCLUSION COVID-19 survivors with higher perceived life threat, lower emotional support, lower disease severity upon admission, and longer hospital stay were associated with higher severity of symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Timely intervention should provide to at-risk survivors.
