Abstract
BACKGROUND Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common psychiatric disorder with a worldwide prevalence of about five percent among children and adolescents. This disorder affects most aspects of their lives e.g., academic performance and social relations, and their overall quality of life is reduced compared to healthy peers. The majority of children with ADHD are treated with medication that potentially has an insufficient effect and/or frequently occurring side effects. OBJECTIVES To enable nurses and other health care professionals to guide children with ADHD and their families in their choices of treatment, based on the best available literature on the association between nonpharmacological interventions and quality of life. DATA SOURCES A literature search was performed in the databases CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Seven randomized controlled trials were included in this systematic review. They examined the use of polyunsaturated fatty acids, physical activity, psychoeducation, cognitive therapy, cognitive training, hippotherapy, and behavioral therapy. CONCLUSIONS The study of behavioral therapy in the form of a sleep intervention detected an improvement in quality of life which was statistically significant compared to the control group. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Children with ADHD and a sleep disorder may gain improvement in their quality of life from a sleep intervention.

Introduction
Catheter ablations for cardiac arrhythmias are conventionally performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Using three dimensional electroanatomical mapping systems to guide these procedures, zero/minimal fluoroscopy (Z/MF) approaches became available.
Purpose
Our aim was to conduct a meta-analysis comparing these two different methods for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (SVT).
Methods
Electronic databases were searched and systematically reviewed for studies comparing procedural parameters and outcomes of conventional, fluoroscopy-guided vs. Z/MF approaches in patients undergoing EP procedures for SVTs. The random-effects model was used to derive mean difference (MD) and risk ratios (RR) with 95÷ confidence interval (CI).
Results
24 studies involving 9,074 patients met our inclusion criteria. There were no differences between the groups in acute success (RR=1.00, 95÷ CI, 0.99–1.01; p=0.97) and long-term success rate (RR: 1.01, 95÷ CI, 1.00–1.03; p=0.13). Compared to the conventional method, Z/MF ablation significantly reduced fluoroscopic time (MD: -10.95 min (95÷ CI, -18.43 to -3.46 min; p<0.01)) and ablation time (MD: -25.23 s (95÷ CI: -42.04 to -8.43 s; p<0.01)). Procedure time (MD: 3.06 min (95÷ CI: -0.97 to 7.08; p=0.14)) and number of ablation applications (MD: 0.13 (95÷ CI: -0.86 to 1.11; p=0.80)) were not different between the groups. Complication rate was 1.59% in the entire study population and did not differ among the groups (RR: 0.68, 95÷ CI: 0.45–1.05; p=0.08).
Conclusions
Z/MF approach for the catheter ablation of SVTs is a feasible method that reduces radiation exposure and ablation time but does not compromise the acute and long-term success, or complication rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcomes are important predictors of mortality, cardiovascular events and hospitalisation in patients with cardiac diseases, but differences in patient-reported outcomes between groups of patients with arrhythmia have not yet been investigated. AIMS To describe and compare patient-reported outcomes at discharge among patients with different types of cardiac arrhythmia and to examine the associations between demographic characteristics, inhospital factors and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS Data were derived from the national DenHeart study including patient-reported outcomes from the following questionnaires: the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), HeartQoL, short form 12 (SF-12), current health status (EQ-5D), brief illness perception questionnaire (B-IPQ) and the Edmonton symptom assessment scale (ESAS). Clinical and demographic data were obtained from national registers. Multiple linear and logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations between the potential risk factors and the patient-reported outcomes. RESULTS A total of 4251 patients diagnosed with arrhythmia completed the questionnaire. Across the arrhythmia subgroups, some differences were observed. In general, patient-reported outcome scores were worst among patients with 'ventricular arrhythmia' (e.g. highest depression scores and highest prevalence of feeling unsafe at discharge). Regression analysis revealed that longer hospital stay, female gender, being unmarried and having a short education were significantly associated with poor health for almost all arrhythmia subgroups. CONCLUSION Differences exist in self-reported health, quality of life and symptom burden across arrhythmia groups with patients with ventricular arrhythmia reporting poorer patient-reported outcomes. Longer hospital stay, female gender, being unmarried and having a low level of education were significantly associated with worse outcomes among the total population.

Abstract
Aims Patient-reported quality of life and anxiety/depression scores provide important prognostic information independently of traditional clinical data. The aims of this study were to describe: (a) mortality and cardiac events one year after hospital discharge across cardiac diagnoses; (b) patient-reported outcomes at hospital discharge as a predictor of mortality and cardiac events. Design A cross-sectional survey with register follow-up. Methods Participants: All patients discharged from April 2013 to April 2014 from five national heart centres in Denmark. Main outcomes Patient-reported outcomes: anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale); perceived health (Short Form-12); quality of life (HeartQoL and EQ-5D); symptom burden (Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale). Register data: mortality and cardiac events within one year following discharge. Results There were 471 deaths among the 16,689 respondents in the first year after discharge. Across diagnostic groups, patients reporting symptoms of anxiety had a two-fold greater mortality risk when adjusted for age, sex, marital status, educational level, comorbidity, smoking, body mass index and alcohol intake (hazard ratio (HR) 1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.52–2.42). Similar increased mortality risks were found for patients reporting symptoms of depression (HR 2.29, 95% CI 1.81–2.90), poor quality of life (HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.39–0.54) and severe symptom distress (HR 2.47, 95% CI 1.92–3.19). Cardiac events were predicted by poor quality of life (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.65–0.77) and severe symptom distress (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.35–1.85). Conclusions Patient-reported mental and physical health outcomes are independent predictors of one-year mortality and cardiac events across cardiac diagnoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Readmissions after heart valve surgery represent a significant burden for both the patient and the healthcare system. The study aim was to identify independent predictors of readmission within 180 days after surgery in a population of patients undergoing heart valve surgery. METHODS Demographic and clinical information was obtained from national registers. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including Short Form 12 (SF-12) and EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) were measured at discharge as part of a national, cross-sectional study (DenHeart). Predictors of first readmission were investigated. RESULTS Among a total of 1,084 patients (65% men; mean age 68 years; 354 responded to questionnaires), 534 (49%) were readmitted. Responding patients who were readmitted were younger and a greater proportion had undergone mitral valve surgery. A significantly higher proportion of non-responders was readmitted. No significant differences were found in PROs between patients readmitted and those not readmitted, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed no predictive effect of SF-12 and EQ-5D. Survival analysis using Cox proportional hazard models showed that prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (HR 1.50, CI 1.10; 2.05, p = 0.010) and a history of heart failure (HR 1.37, CI 1.10; 1.72, p = 0.006) were predictive of readmission. CONCLUSIONS Readmission rates after heart valve surgery are high and often seen in patients who have undergone PCI and heart failure before surgery. Predictors for these high readmissions rates are difficult to establish based on medical history and type of surgery. PROs at discharge contribute information regarding a patient's perception of their often poor quality of life, but do not predict readmission.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to examine how family interactions related to lifestyle changes influence adolescents' potential for maintaining weight loss after participating in a weight-loss treatment programme. BACKGROUND Obesity among adolescents is a large and complex health problem worldwide. Family support is crucial if adolescents are to benefit from weight-loss intervention. DESIGN Qualitative research interviews with families who participated in a weight-loss programme. METHODS The sample consisted of 10 families selected among participants in a 1-year multidisciplinary family-based weight-loss programme. Three rounds of semi-structured interviews stretching over 5 years (2010-2015) were transcribed verbatim, then analyzed using Kvale and Brinkmann's framework for working with qualitative research interviews. FINDINGS Five years after the intervention ended, we found that a family's interactions were a key factor in how the family handled challenges involved in changing its diet and increasing physical activity and that daily activities in modern families influenced their interaction, as activities demanded so much of the family that it was difficult to sustain the lifestyle changes necessary for the adolescent to maintain achieved weight loss. Supporting the adolescent was far more difficult than families expected; more time-consuming and also a cause of family conflicts. Siblings who did not need to lose weight played a major, but overlooked, role. CONCLUSION The family's interactions and its handling of lifestyle changes were important to the adolescent's maintained weight loss. It is fundamental that the entire family is supportive, regardless of family structure and these issues ought to be addressed in future interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Unintended perioperative hypothermia (UPH) is a common and serious complication for patients undergoing anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence of UPH and evaluate the efficacy of a self-warming blanket on the drop in core temperature and risk of UPH in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty. DESIGN A case-control study was used. METHODS Sixty patients were included. Thirty patients received prewarming with a self-warming blanket and forced-air warming intraoperatively; thirty patients received only forced-air warming intraoperatively. FINDING The incidence of UPH (<36°C) was identified in 13% of the patients in the prewarmed group and 43% of the patients in the control group. Mean core temperature in the prewarmed group was significantly higher and remained above 36°C in the perioperative period. CONCLUSIONS The study suggests that preoperative warming with a self-warming blanket reduces the incidence of UPH and decreases the drop in core temperature.

Abstract
In 129 two-children cases, including 84 twin cases and 45 brother and sister cases, the probability of paternity of one or several men was calculated, applying the method of Hummel and Schulte-Mönting. With this method the whole information, given by the blood group results, is used. Because of this, the achieved values of probability in most of the cases are higher than the values achieved using the Essen-Möller formula, in which the relation between the children is not taken into account.
