Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global COVID Vaccine Safety (GCoVS) Project, established in 2021 under the multinational Global Vaccine Data Network™ (GVDN®), facilitates comprehensive assessment of vaccine safety. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of adverse events of special interest (AESI) following COVID-19 vaccination from 10 sites across eight countries. METHODS Using a common protocol, this observational cohort study compared observed with expected rates of 13 selected AESI across neurological, haematological, and cardiac outcomes. Expected rates were obtained by participating sites using pre-COVID-19 vaccination healthcare data stratified by age and sex. Observed rates were reported from the same healthcare datasets since COVID-19 vaccination program rollout. AESI occurring up to 42 days following vaccination with mRNA (BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273) and adenovirus-vector (ChAdOx1) vaccines were included in the primary analysis. Risks were assessed using observed versus expected (OE) ratios with 95 % confidence intervals. Prioritised potential safety signals were those with lower bound of the 95 % confidence interval (LBCI) greater than 1.5. RESULTS Participants included 99,068,901 vaccinated individuals. In total, 183,559,462 doses of BNT162b2, 36,178,442 doses of mRNA-1273, and 23,093,399 doses of ChAdOx1 were administered across participating sites in the study period. Risk periods following homologous vaccination schedules contributed 23,168,335 person-years of follow-up. OE ratios with LBCI > 1.5 were observed for Guillain-Barré syndrome (2.49, 95 % CI: 2.15, 2.87) and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (3.23, 95 % CI: 2.51, 4.09) following the first dose of ChAdOx1 vaccine. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis showed an OE ratio of 3.78 (95 % CI: 1.52, 7.78) following the first dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine. The OE ratios for myocarditis and pericarditis following BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 were significantly increased with LBCIs > 1.5. CONCLUSION This multi-country analysis confirmed pre-established safety signals for myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Other potential safety signals that require further investigation were identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global COVID Vaccine Safety (GCoVS) project was established in 2021 under the multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) consortium to facilitate the rapid assessment of the safety of newly introduced vaccines. This study analyzed data from GVDN member sites on the background incidence rates of conditions designated as adverse events of special interest (AESI) for COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring. METHODS Eleven GVDN global sites obtained data from national or regional healthcare databases using standardized methods. Incident events of 13 pre-defined AESI were included for a pre-pandemic period (2015-19) and the first pandemic year (2020). Background incidence rates (IR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for inpatient and emergency department encounters, stratified by age and sex, and compared between pre-pandemic and pandemic periods using incidence rate ratios. RESULTS An estimated 197 million people contributed 1,189,652,926 person-years of follow-up time. Among inpatients in the pre-pandemic period (2015-19), generalized seizures were the most common neurological AESI (IR ranged from 22.15 [95% CI 19.01-25.65] to 278.82 [278.20-279.44] per 100,000 person-years); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis was the least common (<0.5 per 100,000 person-years at most sites). Pulmonary embolism was the most common thrombotic event (IR 45.34 [95% CI 44.85-45.84] to 93.77 [95% CI 93.46-94.08] per 100,000 person-years). The IR of myocarditis ranged from 1.60 [(95% CI 1.45-1.76) to 7.76 (95% CI 7.46-8.08) per 100,000 person-years. The IR of several AESI varied by site, healthcare setting, age and sex. The IR of some AESI were notably different in 2020 compared to 2015-19. CONCLUSION Background incidence of AESIs exhibited some variability across study sites and between pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. These findings will contribute to global vaccine safety surveillance and research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accuracy with which healthcare professionals (HCPs) and risk prediction tools predict outcomes after major lower limb amputation (MLLA) is uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of predicting short-term (30 days after MLLA) mortality, morbidity, and revisional surgery. METHODS The PERCEIVE (PrEdiction of Risk and Communication of outcomE following major lower limb amputation: a collaboratIVE) study was launched on 1 October 2020. It was an international multicentre study, including adults undergoing MLLA for complications of peripheral arterial disease and/or diabetes. Preoperative predictions of 30-day mortality, morbidity, and MLLA revision by surgeons and anaesthetists were recorded. Probabilities from relevant risk prediction tools were calculated. Evaluation of accuracy included measures of discrimination, calibration, and overall performance. RESULTS Some 537 patients were included. HCPs had acceptable discrimination in predicting mortality (931 predictions; C-statistic 0.758) and MLLA revision (565 predictions; C-statistic 0.756), but were poor at predicting morbidity (980 predictions; C-statistic 0.616). They overpredicted the risk of all outcomes. All except three risk prediction tools had worse discrimination than HCPs for predicting mortality (C-statistics 0.789, 0.774, and 0.773); two of these significantly overestimated the risk compared with HCPs. SORT version 2 (the only tool incorporating HCP predictions) demonstrated better calibration and overall performance (Brier score 0.082) than HCPs. Tools predicting morbidity and MLLA revision had poor discrimination (C-statistics 0.520 and 0.679). CONCLUSION Clinicians predicted mortality and MLLA revision well, but predicted morbidity poorly. They overestimated the risk of mortality, morbidity, and MLLA revision. Most short-term risk prediction tools had poorer discrimination or calibration than HCPs. The best method of predicting mortality was a statistical tool that incorporated HCP estimation.

Abstract
Background:AWARE is a real-world evidence-based (RWE) study evaluating the safety and efficacy of IV golimumab (GLM) and infliximab (IFX) in adults with RA.Objectives:Evaluate safety and efficacy of IV GLM and IFX in elderly AWARE participants.Methods:AWARE, a prospective non-interventional study (88 US sites), enrolled patients (pts) initiating either IV GLM or IFX. Pt management was at the discretion of treating rheumatologists. In a post hoc analysis, pts were grouped by age (<65/≥65/≥75 yrs). Adverse events (AEs) were collected through the Week (W) 52 database lock (DBL; completed W52 or discontinued study) and at the end-of-study DBL (W104). The primary endpoint was proportion of pts with ≥1 infusion reaction through W52. Change from baseline in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores at Months 6 and 12 were secondary endpoints evaluated in bionaïve pts, including those with IFX dose escalation.Results:1270 pts were enrolled (685 IV GLM; 585 IFX). 1047 (82%) pts were female; mean age was 60 yrs (57% <65 yrs, 43% ≥65 yrs, and 7% ≥75 yrs). Mean disease durations were 9 yrs (IV GLM) and 7 yrs (IFX). Comorbidities were generally similar between IV GLM and IFX groups but more common among pts ≥65 vs <65 yrs. Through W52, 66% of IV GLM pts and 62% of IFX pts discontinued the study. Discontinuation due to lack of efficacy was generally similar across age groups within treatment groups, although somewhat higher for IV GLM (29%) vs IFX (19%). For both treatments, AEs and discontinuations due to AE through W52 were more common in pts ≥65 vs <65 yrs (Table 1). Consistent with general trends observed in elderly individuals,1 rates of serious AEs (SAEs) and serious infections increased with age for both IV GLM and IFX; however, increases were more notable in IFX- than IV GLM-treated pts ≥65 yrs. The incidence of serious infections was highest in pts ≥75 yrs for both treatments, although small sample size may limit data interpretation. No increase in opportunistic infections, including Varicella, was observed in pts ≥65 vs <65 yrs. Infusion reactions were more common in pts <65 yrs in both treatment groups, and more prevalent in IFX- than IV GLM-treated pts within each age group through W52. Generally similar safety results were seen between W52 and W104 for each treatment group (data not shown).

Abstract
Background:AWARE is a phase-4 observational study designed to provide real-world assessment of Golimumab (GLM) IV & infliximab (IFX) in patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives:To assess patient-reported aspects of social, mental, & physical health through the 8th infusion (≈1 year of treatment) using Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), a validated, disease-agnostic set of health assessment instruments.Methods:AWARE enrolled 1270 RA pts initiating treatment with GLM/IFX. The 52 week analysis set included pts with ≥1-year treatment or those discontinued and, while enrolled, completed PROMIS-29 or PROMIS short form (SF) questionnaires. PROMIS instruments were administered at baseline & prior to infusions 2, 5, & 8. The raw score was converted into a standardized T-score with a mean of 50 and SD of 10.Results:At baseline, treatment groups were balanced on demographics & medical characteristics. Most pts were white (87.0% GLM, 86.2% IFX) & female (83.4% GLM, 82.4% IFX). Mean ages were 58.5 ±12.96 years for GLM & 59.6 ±13.24 years for IFX. Overall, 35.3% GLM & 42.9% IFX pts were bio-naïve. The proportion of GLM & IFX pts with prior exposure to 1 or 2 biologics was similar; however, 20.1% GLM pts vs 10.8% IFX pts had exposure to ≥3 biologics. Methotrexate use was similar between GLM (76.4%) & IFX pts (75.0%). Based on mean PROMIS T-scores at baseline (Table 1), Fatigue, Pain Interference, & Physical Function domains approached or exceeded 1 SD worse than those of general US population. Through the 8th infusion, GLM- & IFX-treated pts achieved meaningful improvement based on mean changes from baseline in most PROMIS-29 domains & respective SFs with no significant difference between GLM and IFX. The percentage of GLM or IFX pts with improvements of ≥3, ≥5, or ≥10 units change in T-scores increased from infusion 2 through infusion 8.Conclusion:RA pts treated with GLM or IFX achieved comparable improvements across PROMIS-assessed social, mental, & physical health. PROMIS-29 was able to detect change to subsequent anti-tumor necrosis factor-α therapies.Table 1.Mean (SD) Change from Baseline PROMIS-29 Domain and Short Form T-Scores: 52 Week Analysis SetGLMIFXLSM difference (95% CI)*Anxiety (4-item)N=6N=570Baseline53.4 (10.13)54.6 (10.53)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=223 -2.6 (8.10)N=286-3.7 (7.86)-0.29 (-1.54, 0.97)Depression (4-item)BaselineN=67451.9 (9.83)N=57452.5 (10.21)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=225-2.1 (7.56)N=287-2.3 (7.89)0.49 (-0.72, 1.70)Fatigue (4-item)BaselineN=67158.4 (9.91)N=57459.4 (9.99)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=225-3.4 (8.72)N=281-3.1 (7.77)0.69 (-0.64, 2.03)Short form Fatigue 7aBaselineN=68159.1 (8.51)N=57659.7 (8.25)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=228-3.2 (7.40)N=287-2.4 (6.35)1.01 (-0.11, 2.14)Pain interference (4-item)BaselineN=67963.0 (7.56)N=57463.9 (7.80)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=227-4.2 (8.23)N=284-3.1 (7.77)1.84 (0.55, 3.13)Short form Pain interference 6bBaselineN=68061.9 (7.45)N=57662.8 (7.54)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=228-3.8 (7.88)N=287-3.2 (6.67)1.31 (0.15, 2.48)Physical function (4-item)BaselineN=67838.2 (6.79)N=57138.0 (6.90)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=2242.2 (5.64)N=2831.9 (5.85)-0.76 (-1.73, 0.21)Sleep disturbance (4-item)BaselineN=67154.6 (8.72)N=569N=55.5 (8.61)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=221-1.4 (7.45)N=281-1.7 (7.61)0.23 (-0.96, 1.42)Social participation (4-item)BaselineN=67343.7 (8.40)N=57442.9 (8.77)Change from baseline at infusion 8N=2253.2 (8.15)N=2833.4 (7.48)-0.10 (-1.36, 1.16)*Least squares mean (LSM) difference & confidence interval (CI) are based on analysis of covariance controlling for baseline PROMIS score using inverse probability of treatment weighted propensity score.Disclosure of Interests:Clifton Bingham Consultant of: AbbVie, BMS, Eli Lilly, Gilead, Janssen, Pfizer, Regeneron/Sanofi, Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Shelly Kafka Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Shawn Black Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Stephen Xu Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Wayne Langholff Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Jeffrey Curtis Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corrona, Janssen, Lilly, Myriad, Pfizer, Regeneron, Roche, UCB, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corrona, Janssen, Lilly, Myriad, Pfizer, Regeneron, Roche, UCB

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thezygomaticus major is a principal muscle of facial expression which is engaged when smiling. The zygomaticus major origin of the zygomatic bone is often discussed relevant to its importance in the field of plastic surgery. In addition, the zygomaticus major attachment site is also significant for forensic craniofacial reconstruction, separating the cheek into frontal and lateral surfaces. However, there are discrepancies amongst published articles regarding the precise origin of the zygomaticus major muscle. The aim of this study is to investigate more distinctive and palpable landmarks as the bony attachment of the zygomaticus major. METHODS This project is the first zygomaticus major dissection study utilising Thiel embalmed cadavers. Fifty-two facial dissections were investigated in 26 Thiel embalmed bodies, bequeathed to the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at The University of Dundee between 2013 and 2015. RESULTS This study found that the origin of zygomaticus major muscle was located at the superior margin of the temporal process on the lateral surface of zygomatic bone. Moreover, the zygomaticus major muscle overlapped the anterosuperior border of the masseter muscle. One out of 52 zygomaticus major muscles presented bifurcation. CONCLUSION The origin site of zygomaticus major is considered important to increase resemblance in forensic craniofacial reconstruction. Furthermore, since zygomaticus major is a salient muscle involved in facial expression, the potential effects for cosmetic/surgical procedures are also relevant to the medical field and successful surgical outcomes. The current study provided easily palpable landmarks of zygomaticus major origin site which is beneficial for both surgeons and forensic craniofacial reconstruction practitioners.

Abstract
Background:Use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to assess health-related quality of life in clinical practice, research studies, and clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains an ongoing area of research. SF-36 is commonly used in RA trials but is not feasible for routine use in clinical practice settings. ThePatientReportedOutcomesMeasurementInformationSystem (PROMIS) may address this gap but has not been widely assessed in RA patients starting therapy in a real-world comparative effectiveness study, nor examined in that setting in relation to the SF36 and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI).Objectives:To assess validity of PROMIS based on Comparative and Pragmatic Study of Golimumab Intravenous (IV) Versus Infliximab in Rheumatoid Arthritis (AWARE), an ongoing Phase 4 study providing real-world assessment of IV tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) medications in RA patients.Methods:AWARE is a prospective, non-interventional, 3-year study conducted at 88 US sites. RA patients were enrolled when initiating TNFi treatment. Treatment decisions were made by treating rheumatologists. We report baseline PROMIS-29 (7 domains and pain intensity), PROMIS Pain Interference (PI) Short Form (SF) 6b (PI6b) and PROMIS Fatigue (F) Short Form 7a (F7a), domain T-Scores, and SF-36 subdomain and Component Scores (CS) in AWARE patients. Here we report baseline data obtained from the final 1-year AWARE dataset. Correlations between PROMIS measures and comparable SF-36 component scores were calculated using Pearson correlations. Data is shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD).Results:At baseline, mean CDAI of all patients (n=1262) was 32.3±15.6, with 70.4% in high disease activity (HDA, CDAI>22), 22.8% in moderate disease activity (MDA, CDAI: >10 and ≤22), 6.1% in low disease activity (LDA, CDAI: >2.8 and ≤10), and 0.7% in remission (CDAI ≤2.8). Mean PROMIS scores were >0.5 SD worse than population means for Physical Function (PF, 38.1±6.84), PI (63.4±7.68), F (58.8±9.95), Sleep Disturbance (55.1±8.68); and Ability to Participate in Social Roles/Activities (PSRA, 43.4±8.58). Baseline Depression and Anxiety were within 0.5 SD of population T-scores. PI6b, F7a, and P29 domain T-scores correlated with the comparable SF-36 subdomain and component scores (r’s >0.58), except sleep for which no comparable SF-36 element was applicable. Examples include: P6b (r=-0.80) and P29-PI (0.81) with SF-36 Bodily Pain; F7a (-0.77) and P29-F (-0.77) with SF-36 Vitality; P29-PF with SF-36 PF (0.77), Role-Physical (0.69), and Physical CS (0.73); P29 Anxiety with SF-36 Mental Health (-0.72), Role-Emotional (-0.56), Mental CS (-0.70); and P29-PRSA with SF-36-Social Functioning (0.71). Mean PROMIS-29 T-scores (except Anxiety and Sleep Disturbance) among patients with HDA were significantly different from patients with MDA, LDA or remission (p < 0.001 for all). Further, mean PROMIS T-scores of PF, F, PSRA, PI, Pain Intensity, PI6b and P7a among patients with MDA were significantly different from patients with more or less active RA (by CDAI category).Conclusion:Analysis of baseline results from a large cohort of RA patients indicates high correlations between individual P29 domain T-scores and SF-36 component scores, as well as categorical CDAI, providing strong evidence of PROMIS construct validity in a real-world population of RA patients.Disclosure of Interests:Clifton Bingham Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Consultant of: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Shelly Kafka Employee of: Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Shawn Black Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Stephen Xu Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Wayne Langholff Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Jeffrey Curtis Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corrona, Janssen, Lilly, Myriad, Pfizer, Regeneron, Roche, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Corrona, Janssen, Lilly, Myriad, Pfizer, Regeneron, Roche, UCB

Abstract
Background:AWARE (Comparative and Pragmatic Study of Golimumab IV Versus Infliximab in Rheumatoid Arthritis) is an ongoing Phase 4 comparator study designed to provide a real-world assessment of intravenous golimumab (GLM) and intravenous infliximab (IFX) in patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study recently reached its primary endpoint (comparison of overall incidence of infusion reactions in GLM- vs IFX-treated pts after 52 weeks) with the last patient reaching 52 weeks of treatment or discontinuation from the study. AWARE also records prior use of biologic medications and concomitant use of methotrexate (MTX).Objectives:To assess the incidence of infusion reactions among GLM and IFX pts reported at baseline by examining the influence of prior biologic exposure or concurrent use of MTX.Methods:AWARE is a prospective, noninterventional, observational, multicenter, 3-year study conducted in the US. RA patients (1,270 adults) were enrolled at the time of initiating treatment with GLM or IFX. All treatment decisions were made at the discretion of the treating rheumatologist. An infusion reaction was any adverse event that occurred during an infusion or within 1 hour after the infusion of either GLM or IFX. Imputations were not performed on these AWARE data. Data shown are mean ± standard deviation.Results:Demographics are shown in Table 1 and the incidence of infusion reactions in different AWARE cohorts is shown in Table 2. GLM and IFX pts were comparable in sex and utilization of MTX at baseline. Both age and disease duration of GLM pts was greater than IFX pts by ~2 years. There was a higher proportion of bionaïve pts in IFX-treated group compared to GLM-treated group. Overall, infusion reactions occurred more frequently among IFX-treated pts compared to GLM-treated pts. The difference in infusion reaction rates between IFX- and GLM-treated pts was also evident among subgroups of bionaïve vs non-bionaïve pts, and among MTX non-users vs MTX users (characteristics reported at baseline). GLM pts did not report any serious or severe infusion reactions. These were reported rarely (3/585 pts) in IFX-treated pts. Among GLM and IFX pts with an infusion reaction, 55.6% of GLM and 77.1% of IFX pts had at least one medication for infusion reaction. Infusion reactions accounted for 9.7% and 35.1% of discontinuations due to adverse events in GLM and IFX pts, respectively.Table 1.Baseline Characteristics in the AWARE StudyGLM (n=685)IFX (n=585)Age (years)60.9 ± 13.4358.0 ± 12.85Sex (% female)85.0 %79.5 %Disease Duration (years)9.16 ± 9.9757.20 ± 9.716Bionaïve (%)33.0%48.6%MTX plus (%)75.4%75.1%MTX=methotrexateTable 2.Infusion Reactions in AWARE in Subsets of Patients ± Prior Biologic Use or ± Concurrent MTXGLM (n=685)IFX (n=585)GLM (n=685)IFX (n=585)BionaïveNon-BionaïveBionaïveNon-BionaïveNo MTX UseMTXUseNo MTX UseMTX UseInfusion Reactions6/242(2.5%)21/443(4.7%)36/251(14.3%)47/334(14.1%)15/265(5.7%)12/420(2.9%)44/229(19.2%)39/356(11.0%)Medication for Infusion Reactions33.3%59.1%78.9%73.6%50.%58.3%73.6%77.6%MTX=methotrexateConclusion:Whether bionaïve, non-bionaïve, MTX non-user or MTX user at baseline, the incidence of infusion reactions was notably lower among GLM- vs IFX-treated pts. Serious and/or severe infusion reactions did not occur among GLM pts and were rare among IFX pts. IFX was more commonly administered mediation for an infusion reaction compared to GLM. Infusion reactions accounted for almost four times the number of discontinuations related to adverse events in IFX pts compared to GLM pts.Disclosure of Interests: :Sergio Schwartzman Grant/research support from: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Consultant of: AbbVie, Crescendo Bioscience, Dermtech, Eli Lilly and Company, Gilead Sciences, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Myriad Genetics, Novartis, Regeneron, Samsung, Sanofi, UCB, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Eli Lilly and Company, Genentech, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Novartis, Pfizer, Regeneron, Sanofi, UCB, Aaron Broadwell Grant/research support from: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, Sandoz, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Celgene, GSK, Horizon, Janssen, Mallinckrodt, Novartis, Pfizer, Radius, Sanofi-Regeneron, UCB, Alan Kivitz Shareholder of: AbbVie, Amgen, Gilead, GSK, Pfizer Inc, Sanofi, Consultant of: AbbVie, Boehringer Ingelheim,,Flexion, Genzyme, Gilead, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer Inc, Regeneron, Sanofi, SUN Pharma Advanced Research, UCB, Paid instructor for: Celgene, Genzyme, Horizon, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Regeneron, Sanofi, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Celgene, Flexion, Genzyme, Horizon, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer Inc, Regeneron, Sanofi, Shawn Black Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Stephen Xu Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Wayne Langholff Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Shelly Kafka Employee of: Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC

Abstract
Summary
Objective:
To assess the quality of automated diagnoses extracted from medical care databases by the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) study.
Methods:
Two methods are used to assess quality of VSD diagnosis data. The first method compares common automated and abstracted diagnostic categories (“outcomes”) in 1-2% simple random samples of study populations. The second method estimates positive predictive values of automated diagnosis codes used to identify potential cases of rare conditions (e.g., acute ataxia) for inclusion in nested case-control medical record abstraction studies.
Results:
There was good agreement (64-68%) between automated and abstracted outcomes in the 1-2% simple random samples at 3 of the 4 VSD sites and poor agreement (44%) at 1 site. Overall at 3 sites, 56% of children with automated cerebella ataxia codes (ICD-9 = 334) and 22% with “lack of coordination” codes (ICD-9 = 781.3) met objective clinical criteria for acute ataxia.
Conclusions:
The misclassification error rates for automated screening outcomes substantially reduce the power of screening analyses and limit usefulness of screening analyses to moderate to strong vaccine-outcome associations. Medical record verification of outcomes is needed for definitive assessments.

Abstract
Aims and MethodA retrospective case note study provided data on the service consumption and outcome of treatment for a cohort of adult anorexia nervosa sufferers treated in a specialised secondary service.ResultsA cohort of 106 patients was studied. Only just over a quarter were ever admitted. Of a subset of 78 patients, first seen before 1994, nearly one-fifth failed to engage in treatment. Those who were admitted spent on average a total of 10 months in hospital, were in touch for four years and had over 100 therapy sessions. The majority who were treated solely as out-patients remained in touch with the service on average for over two years.Clinical ImplicationsServices for anorexia nervosa sufferers need to plan for prolonged contact with their patients and high rates of service consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are approximately 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in the United Kingdom (UK) each year. Within the UK there are well-established clinical practice guidelines that define when resuscitation should be commenced in OHCA, and when resuscitation should cease. Background literature indicates that decision-making in the commencement and cessation of resuscitation efforts in OHCA is complex, and not comprehensively understood. No relevant research from the UK has been published to date and this research study seeks to explore the influences on UK Emergency Medical Service (EMS) provider decision-making when commencing and ceasing resuscitation attempts in OHCA. The aim of this research to explore the influences on UK Emergency Medical Services provider decision-making when commencing and ceasing resuscitation attempts in OHCA. METHODS Four focus groups were convened with 16 clinically active EMS providers. Four case vignettes were discussed to explore decision-making within the focus groups. Thematic analysis was used to analyse transcripts. RESULTS This research found that there are three stages in the decision-making process when EMS providers consider whether to commence or cease resuscitation attempts in OHCA. These stages are: the call; arrival on scene; the protocol. Influential factors present at each of the three stages can lead to different decisions and variability in practice. These influences are: factual information available to the EMS provider; structural factors such as protocol, guidance and research; cultural beliefs and values; interpersonal factors; risk factors; personal values and beliefs. CONCLUSIONS An improved understanding of the circumstantial, individual and interpersonal factors that mediate the decision-making process in clinical practice could inform the development of more effective clinical guidelines, education and clinical decision support in OHCA. These changes have the potential to lead to greater consistency. and EMS provider confidence, with the potential for improved patient outcome from OHCA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older people with multimorbidities frequently access 999 ambulance services. When multimorbidities include dementia, the risk of ambulance use, accident and emergency (A&E) attendance and hospital admission are all increased, even when a condition is treatable in the community. People with dementia tend to do poorly in the acute hospital setting and hospital admission can result in adverse outcomes. This study aims to provide an evidence-based understanding of how older people living with dementia and other multimorbidities are using emergency ambulance services. It will also provide evidence of how paramedics make decisions about taking this group of patients to hospital, and what resources would allow them to make more person-focused decisions to enable optimal patient care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Phase 1: retrospective data analysis: quantitative analysis of ambulance service data will investigate: how often paramedics are called to older people with dementia; the amount of time paramedics spend on scene and the frequency with which these patients are transported to hospital. Phase 2: observational case studies: detailed case studies will be compiled using qualitative methods, including non-participant observation of paramedic decision-making, to understand why older people with multimorbidities including dementia are conveyed to A&E when they could be treated at home or in the community. Phase 3: needs analysis: nominal groups with paramedics will investigate and prioritise the resources that would allow emergency, urgent and out of hours care to be effectively delivered to these patients at home or in a community setting. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Approval for the study has been obtained from the Health Research Authority (HRA) with National Health Service (NHS) Research Ethics Committee approval for phase 2 (16/NW/0803). The dissemination strategy will include publishing findings in appropriate journals, at conferences and in newsletters. We will pay particular attention to dissemination to the public, dementia organisations and ambulance services.

Abstract
AIMS Canagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin as an add-on to metformin plus sulphonylurea in patients with T2DM. METHODS Patients (N = 469) received canagliflozin 100 or 300 mg or placebo once daily during a 26-week core period and a 26-week extension. Prespecified primary end-point was change in HbA1c at 26 weeks. Secondary end-points included change in HbA1c at week 52 as well as proportion of patients achieving HbA1c < 7.0%, change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and systolic blood pressure, and per cent change in body weight, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides (weeks 26 and 52). RESULTS HbA1c was significantly reduced with canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg vs. placebo at week 26 (-0.85%, -1.06%, and -0.13%; p < 0.001); these reductions were maintained at week 52 (-0.74%, -0.96%, and 0.01%). Both canagliflozin doses reduced FPG and body weight vs. placebo at week 26 (p < 0.001) and week 52. Overall adverse event (AE) rates were similar across groups over 52 weeks, with higher rates of genital mycotic infections and osmotic diuresis-related AEs seen with canagliflozin vs. placebo; these led to few discontinuations. Increased incidence of documented, but not severe, hypoglycaemia episodes was seen with canagliflozin vs. placebo. CONCLUSIONS Canagliflozin improved glycaemic control, reduced body weight, and was generally well tolerated in T2DM patients on metformin plus sulphonylurea over 52 weeks.

Abstract
Expert witness opinion based on the comparison of images has been accepted by UK courts as admissible evidence in relation to issues of identity. Within images of the hand are a multiplicity of anatomical features of different aetiology, incidence and distribution patterns and this includes melanocytic nevi, referred to more colloquially as moles and/or birthmarks. The hand is not a common place for these isolated features to develop and so their presence in this anatomical region has the potential to be useful for issues of identity. The results of this study show that approximately 9 % of individuals in a sample of 476 hands, displayed at least one nevus on the back of their hand and, contrary to the literature, the incidence was found to be greater in females (15 % of female cohort) than males (7 % of male cohort). Almost a third of all nevi identified on the dorsum of the hand were abnormal or dysplastic. The most frequent location for these aggregations of melanocytes was in the central region of the dorsum of the hand or at the base of the index finger. The relevance of nevi identified in the image of a perpetrator’s hand and also on that of a suspect/accused is discussed in relation to the issue of whether the images have originated from the same individual.

Abstract
Britain's oldest birth cohort study, the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD) provides data to explore life time influences on ageing. The latest data collection was undertaken between 2006 and 2011 when study members were aged 60-64 and consisted of postal and pre-assessment questionnaires to eligible study members, followed by invitation to attend one of six clinical research facilities (CRFs) across the UK for clinical assessments, and dietary diaries and activity monitors in the days following the CRF visit. The option of a home visit for clinical assessments was provided if the study member refused or was unable to attend the CRF. We examined response and attrition, here describing rates overall and for postal and clinical assessment modes of data collection, identifying socioeconomic and health-related predictors of response, and assessing the continued representativeness of the sample. In total, 2,661 (84 % of the target sample) responded. Lower educational attainment, lower childhood cognition and lifelong smoking independently predicted lower likelihood of both overall response and CRF cooperation. At 53 years, not owning one's home and not being married predicted lower likelihood of overall response whereas manual social class and obesity predicted lower likelihood of CRF cooperation. Providing for collection of biomedical data in the home and use of assessment instruments and modes to retain study members with lower education attainment, lower cognition and poorer health behaviours should be priorities for helping reduce attrition amongst vulnerable ageing study members.
