Abstract
The transition from pediatric to adult health care is a vulnerable period for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with chronic conditions as it involves a multitude of changes and challenges while they enter adulthood. The transition to adult care can be particularly challenging for AYA living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the complex care needed for treatment. Continuity of care is crucial for a successful transition to adult health care. The aim of this educational review is to discuss the potential role of primary care providers in the transition from pediatric to adult health services for AYA with CKD and kidney failure treated with dialysis and/or transplant. We address the significance of the medical home model and how it can provide continuity of care for AYA with CKD. Primary care providers can enhance care for AYA with chronic conditions by providing continuity of care, reducing exacerbation of chronic health conditions, providing holistic care, and fostering collaboration with specialists. Despite their vital role, primary care providers face barriers in maintaining this continuity, necessitating further attention and support in this area. By addressing these barriers and encouraging primary care providers to work alongside pediatric and adult nephrologists during the transition to adult health care, there are significant opportunities to improve the care and health outcomes of AYA with CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large proportion of youth with chronic conditions have mental health comorbidities. However, the effect of these comorbidities on paediatric-adult transition readiness, and the relevance of widely used tools for measuring transition readiness, are unknown. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to describe and explore the transition readiness of youth with co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions using a combination of quantitative data obtained from participants completing the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) and qualitative data. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS A three-phase sequential explanatory mixed methods design was employed, with the qualitative strand taking priority. First, the TRAQ scores (range 1-5) of youth with co-occurring conditions (n = 61) enroled in a multisite randomized controlled trial were measured, followed by qualitative interviews with a sample of youth (n = 9) to explain the quantitative results. Results from both strands were then integrated, yielding comprehensive insights. RESULTS Median TRAQ scores ranged from 2.86 on the appointment keeping subscale to 5.00 on the talking with providers subscale. The qualitative results uncovered the complexities faced by this group concerning the impact of a mental health comorbidity on transition readiness and self-management skills across TRAQ domains. The integrated findings identified a diverse and highly individualized set of strengths and challenges amongst this group that did not align with overarching patterns as measured by the TRAQ. CONCLUSIONS This mixed methods study generated novel understandings about how youth with co-occurring conditions develop competencies related to self-care, self-advocacy and self-management in preparation for paediatric-adult service transitions. Results demonstrated the assessment of transition readiness using a generic scale does not address the nuanced and complex needs of youth with co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions. Our findings suggest tailoring transition readiness practices for this group based on youths' own goals, symptoms, coping mechanisms and resources. PATIENT OR PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT This study was conducted in collaboration with five young adult research partners (YARP) with lived experience transitioning from paediatric to adult health/mental health services. The YARP's contributions across study phases ensured the perspectives of young people were centred throughout data collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of findings. All five YARP co-authored this manuscript.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The involvement of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with lived experience of health and mental health conditions as partners in research is increasing given the prominence of participatory approaches to research, including patient-oriented research (POR). Much of the relevant research is conducted by graduate students. While guiding AYA engagement frameworks and models exist, the processes of partnering with AYAs in patient-oriented graduate-level research projects have not been well established. Co-developed tools and practices are required to support strengths-based, developmentally appropriate AYA-graduate student partnerships. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this commentary are: (1) to share the processes of partnership between a graduate student and five Young Adult Research Partners (YARP), (2) to describe the co-design and implementation of the Strengths, Skills, and Goals Matrix (SSGM), a tool for facilitating strengths-based AYA engagement in research, and (3) to outline considerations for applying this tool across a variety of research contexts with patient partners. MAIN BODY Within the YARP-graduate student partnership, the SSGM offered extensive benefits, including tangible skill development, peer mentorship, and rapport building among all members. This tool offers strategies for strengths-based engagement practices which emphasize AYAs' preferences and goals throughout POR projects. Practical recommendations and considerations for applying the SSGM within graduate-level research and beyond are described, including the importance of connecting AYAs' current (and desired) skills to specific tasks within the research project and resulting outputs. CONCLUSIONS The SSGM has possible relevance in a variety of settings given its broadly applicable structure. Future research could explore the adaptation, application, and evaluation of the SSGM across research contexts to determine its feasibility and ease of implementation. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION This article was conceived of and co-authored by five young adult research partners. The YARP co-designed the SSGM presented in this article, the figures, and substantially contributed to the preparation of the article.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill children is associated with increased risk for short- and long-term adverse outcomes. Currently, there is no systematic follow-up for children who develop AKI in intensive care unit (ICU). Objective This study aimed to assess variation regarding management, perceived importance, and follow-up of AKI in the ICU setting within and between healthcare professional (HCP) groups. Design Anonymous, cross-sectional, web-based surveys were administered nationally to Canadian pediatric nephrologists, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) physicians, and PICU nurses, via professional listservs. Setting All Canadian pediatric nephrologists, PICU physicians, and nurses treating children in the ICU were eligible for the survey. Patients N/A. Measurements Surveys included multiple choice and Likert scale questions on current practice related to AKI management and long-term follow-up, including institutional and personal practice approaches, and perceived importance of AKI severity with different outcomes. Methods Descriptive statistics were performed. Categorical responses were compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests; Likert scale results were compared using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results Surveys were completed by 34/64 (53%) pediatric nephrologists, 46/113 (41%) PICU physicians, and 82 PICU nurses (response rate unknown). Over 65% of providers reported hemodialysis to be prescribed by nephrology; a mix of nephrology, ICU, or a shared nephrology-ICU model was reported responsible for peritoneal dialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Severe hyperkalemia was the most important renal replacement therapy (RRT) indication for both nephrologists and PICU physicians (Likert scale from 0 [not important] to 10 [most important]; median = 10, 10, respectively). Nephrologists reported a lower threshold of AKI for increased mortality risk; 38% believed stage 2 AKI was the minimum compared to 17% of PICU physicians and 14% of nurses. Nephrologists were more likely than PICU physicians and nurses to recommend long-term follow-up for patients who develop any AKI during ICU stay (Likert scale from 0 [none] to 10 [all patients]; mean=6.0, 3.8, 3.7, respectively) (P < .05). Limitations Responses from all eligible HCPs in the country could not obtained. There may be differences in opinions between HCPs that completed the survey compared to those that did not. Additionally, the cross-sectional design of our study may not adequately reflect changes in guidelines and knowledge since survey completion, although no specific guidelines have been released in Canada since survey dissemination. Conclusions Canadian HCP groups have variable perspectives on pediatric AKI management and follow-up. Understanding practice patterns and perspectives will help optimize pediatric AKI follow-up guideline implementation.

Abstract
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES While paediatric clinician-scientists are ideally positioned to generate clinically relevant research and translate research evidence into practice, they face challenges in this dual role. The authors sought to explore the unique contributions, opportunities, and challenges of paediatric clinician-scientists, including issues related to training and ongoing support needs to ensure their success. METHOD The authors used a qualitative descriptive approach with thematic analysis to explore the experiences of clinician-scientist stakeholders in child health (n = 39). Semi-structured interviews (60 min) were conducted virtually and recorded. Thematic analysis was conducted according to the phases outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). RESULTS The analysis resulted in the creation of three themes: (1) "Walking on both sides of the fence": unique positioning of clinician-scientists for advancing clinical practice and research; (2) the clinician-scientist: a specialized role with significant challenges; and (3) beyond the basics of clinical and research training programmes: essential skill sets and knowledge for future clinician-scientists. CONCLUSIONS While clinician-scientists can make unique contributions to the advancement of evidence-based practice, they face significant barriers straddling their dual roles including divergent institutional cultures in healthcare and academia and a lack of infrastructure to effectively support clinician-scientist positions. Training programmes can play an important role in mentoring and supporting early-career clinician-scientists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transition-age youth (TAY) with chronic health conditions frequently experience co-occurring mental health conditions. However, little is known about the perspectives of TAY with co-occurring diagnoses preparing to exit pediatric health and mental health services. Research is needed to understand the impact of a mental health condition on transition readiness and self-management in TAY with chronic health conditions. METHODS TAY (aged 16-20 years) with co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions were recruited in Alberta, Canada. Nine semi-structured individual interviews were completed by phone or videoconference, and transcribed verbatim. Guided by qualitative description, we analyzed the data using thematic analysis in partnership with five young adults with lived experience in the health/mental health systems. RESULTS Participants shared their experiences living with simultaneous physical and mental health concerns and preparing for transition to adult care. Our analysis revealed three overarching themes: 1) "they're intertwined": connections between chronic health and mental health conditions in TAY, 2) impact of mental health on transition readiness and self-management, and 3) recommendations for service provision from the perspectives of TAY. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlighted the myriad ways in which physical and mental health are connected as TAY prepare for service transitions using specific examples and powerful metaphors. TAY endorsed the importance of providers discussing these connections in routine clinical care. Future research should involve co-designing and evaluating educational material addressing this topic with diverse TAY, caregivers, and service providers.

Abstract
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is the most frequent pediatric glomerular disease, affecting from 1.15 to 16.9 per 100,000 children per year globally. It is characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and/or concomitant edema. Approximately 85-90% of patients attain complete remission of proteinuria within 4-6 weeks of treatment with glucocorticoids, and therefore, have steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS). Among those patients who are steroid sensitive, 70-80% will have at least one relapse during follow-up, and up to 50% of these patients will experience frequent relapses or become dependent on glucocorticoids to maintain remission. The dose and duration of steroid treatment to prolong time between relapses remains a subject of much debate, and patients continue to experience a high prevalence of steroid-related morbidity. Various steroid-sparing immunosuppressive drugs have been used in clinical practice; however, there is marked practice variation in the selection of these drugs and timing of their introduction during the course of the disease. Therefore, international evidence-based clinical practice recommendations (CPRs) are needed to guide clinical practice and reduce practice variation. The International Pediatric Nephrology Association (IPNA) convened a team of experts including pediatric nephrologists, an adult nephrologist, and a patient representative to develop comprehensive CPRs on the diagnosis and management of SSNS in children. After performing a systematic literature review on 12 clinically relevant PICO (Patient or Population covered, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) questions, recommendations were formulated and formally graded at several virtual consensus meetings. New definitions for treatment outcomes to help guide change of therapy and recommendations for important research questions are given.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the results and immediate postoperative complications following open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures with or without postoperative maxillo-mandibular fixation MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study spanned over a period of 24 months, extending from October 2015 to October 2017. The study sample comprised 24 subjects between the age range of 18 to 65 years. They were randomly divided into two groups: Group A included subjects in whom open reduction and internal fixation was followed by maxilla-mandibular fixation for 15 days, and Group B subjects in whom only open reduction and internal fixation was done, followed by immediate mobilization. The outcomes evaluated were swelling, pain, simplified oral hygiene index and occlusion. The subjects were followed for all these outcomes on 1st, 7th and 15th days. The occlusion was assessed for 5 days. Any other intra/post-operative complications were additionally noted. RESULTS There was no statistical difference between the groups for swelling, pain and occlusion. The patients with postoperative maxilla-mandibular fixation had poorer oral hygiene when compared to the other group (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The use of maxilla-mandibular fixation post open reduction and internal fixation seems to offer no additional benefits to the patients. According to the results of the study, this traditional surgical dictum seems to be used by the surgeons due to the lack of any scientific evidence. However, further studies should be conducted to confirm this statement.

Abstract
PURPOSE Between 33 and 59% of youth with chronic health conditions experience mental health conditions. Transition readiness, or the acquisition of knowledge and self-management skills, facilitates successful transition to adult care. Transition readiness among youth with co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions has not been explored. DESIGN AND METHODS This study used a sample of 201 patients (aged 16-21) with chronic conditions. All patients completed the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionniare (TRAQ) and were grouped into Cohort A: chronic health conditions only (n = 140), and Cohort B: co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions (n = 61). A quantile regression at the 50th percentile was conducted to examine associations between TRAQ score and mental health comorbidity, age, gender and immigration status. RESULTS The median TRAQ score for Cohort A was 3.87 (IQR 0.84) versus 4.00 (IQR 0.87) for Cohort B. Our analysis revealed that having a mental health comorbidity (b = 0.402, p = 0.034), being older in age (b = 0.540, p = 0.004) and being female (b = 0.388, p = 0.001) were associated with higher overall TRAQ score. CONCLUSIONS The presence of a mental health comorbidity was associated with greater transition readiness as measured by the TRAQ in our sample. Future research should explore why youth with co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions exhibit greater transition readiness. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Youth with co-occurring chronic health and mental health conditions may develop transition readiness as a result of coping with mental health challenges. Practitioners could invite them to reflect on how their physical and mental health are related and affect their level of preparedness for adult care.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the literature on clinician-scientist training programs to inform the development of contemporary and inclusive training models. METHOD The authors conducted a scoping review, searching the PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase databases from database inception until May 25, 2020. Studies presenting primary research that described and evaluated clinician-scientist training programs were identified for data abstraction. On the basis of deductive and inductive methods, information about program characteristics, curricula, teaching strategies, and success metrics was extracted. The extracted variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS From the initial 7,544 citations retrieved and 4,974 unique abstracts screened, 81 studies were included. Of the 81 included studies, 65 (80.2%) were published between 2011 and 2020, 54 (66.7%) were conducted in the United States, and 64 (79.0%) described programs that provided broad clinician-scientist training. Few programs provided funding or protected research time or specifically addressed needs of trainees from underrepresented minority groups. Curricula emphasized research methods and knowledge dissemination, whereas patient-oriented research competencies were not described. Most programs incorporated aspects of mentorship and used multiple teaching strategies, such as direct and interactive instruction. Extrinsic metrics of success (e.g., research output) were dominant in reported program outcomes compared with markers of intrinsic success (e.g., career fulfillment). CONCLUSIONS Although programs are providing clinician-scientists with practical skills training, opportunities exist for curricular and pedagogic optimization that may better support this complex career path. Training programs for clinician-scientists can address contemporary issues of wellness and equity by reconsidering metrics of program success and evolving the core tenets of their education models to include equity, diversity, and inclusion principles and patient-oriented research competencies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Underrepresented voices and perspectives are missing from academic and clinical health sciences. We aimed to define the unique opportunities and challenges of pediatric clinician-scientists related to equity, diversity and inclusion; and to identify key components of training needed to support people from equity-seeking groups as emerging and early-career pediatric clinician-scientists to generate diverse health research leaders in knowledge generation, implementation and translation. METHODS Using a qualitative descriptive approach, we examined the experiences of clinician stakeholders. Semistructured interviews were conducted with pediatric clinician-scientist stakeholders. Thematic analysis was performed. RESULTS We interviewed a total of 39 individuals. Our analysis resulted in 4 interrelated themes: the pervasiveness and invisibility of sexism; the invisibility and visibility of racism; proposed individual-level solutions to the sexism and racism; and proposed institutional and system-level changes to address the porous and leaky pipeline. These themes acknowledged that, ultimately, system change is required for addressing equity, diversity and inclusion in clinical and academic training environments. INTERPRETATION These findings highlight the importance of addressing systemic biases that limit the inclusion of women and racialized individuals in pediatric clinician-scientist careers. Further research is needed to explore the problem of exclusion, which will, in turn, inform education of pediatric clinician-scientists and inform better ways to promote equity, diversity and inclusivity; these steps are needed to foster systemic change in the cultures that perpetuate exclusivity in both academic and clinical communities.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Clinical decision-making priorities may differ among children, their parents, and their clinicians. This study describes clinicians' perspectives on shared decision making in pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) and identifies opportunities to improve shared decision making and care for children with CKD and their families. STUDY DESIGN Semistructured interviews. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Fifty clinicians participated, including pediatric nephrologists, nurses, social workers, surgeons, dietitians, and psychologists involved in providing care to children with CKD. They worked at 18 hospitals and 4 university research departments across 11 countries (United States of America, Canada, Australia, People's Republic of China, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Lithuania, New Zealand, and Singapore). ANALYTICAL APPROACH Interview transcripts were analyzed thematically. RESULTS We identified 4 themes: (1) striving to blend priorities (minimizing treatment burden, emphasizing clinical long-term risks, achieving common goals), (2) focusing on medical responsibilities (carrying decisional burden and pressure of expectations, working within system constraints, ensuring safety is foremost concern), (3) collaborating to achieve better long-term outcomes (individualizing care, creating partnerships, encouraging ownership and participation in shared decision making, sensitive to parental distress), and (4) forming cumulative knowledge (balancing reassurance and realistic expectations, building understanding around treatment, harnessing motivation for long-term goals). LIMITATIONS Most clinicians were from high-income countries, so the transferability of the findings to other settings is uncertain. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians reported striving to minimize treatment burden and working with children and their families to manage their expectations and support their decision making. However, they are challenged with system constraints and sometimes felt the pressure of being responsible for the child's long-term outcomes. Further studies are needed to test whether support for shared decision making would promote strategies to establish and improve the quality of care for children with CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand use of family physician services and emergency department visits by adolescents and young adults with chronic health conditions. DESIGN Longitudinal retrospective observational cohort study using administrative health data. SETTING Chronic care clinics at a tertiary care pediatric hospital in Calgary, Alta. PARTICIPANTS In total, 1326 adolescents who were between 12 and 15 years old in 2008, who were observed until 2016, and who received medical services for chronic conditions were enrolled in the study. Eligible participants had at least 4 visits to the same chronic disease clinic in any 2-year window before age 18. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify groups of adolescents with distinct patterns of health care use (for visits to emergency departments and to primary care practices), while 2 tests explored trajectory group differences (eg, sex, location of residence). RESULTS Median age was 14 years (range 12 to 17 years) at study entry, and 22 years (range 14 to 24 years) at study exit. Half were female and most (85.4%) lived in an urban area. Median observation period was 8.7 person-years (range 1.3 to 9.1 years). Group-based trajectory modeling identified 5 distinct trajectory groups of primary care use and 4 groups of emergency services use. Groups differed by sex and location of residence in each trajectory model. CONCLUSION Many adolescents increased their use of emergency services between the ages of 12 and 24 years, with distinct patterns of primary care use being observed. Association of additional patient- and system-level factors (eg, disease severity, distance to nearest family physician office) should be explored.

Abstract
Background: There is known practice variation in the treatment of frequently relapsing, steroid-dependent, and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in children. Rituximab is an emerging therapy for difficult-to-treat nephrotic syndrome; however, there are no clear treatment guidelines. We therefore hypothesized that a wide variety of approaches to this therapy exist. Objective: To evaluate when and how rituximab is used for the treatment of childhood nephrotic syndrome in Canada. Design and setting: An online survey was used. Participants: Canadian pediatric nephrologists. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was distributed across Canada through the Canadian Association of Pediatric Nephrologists (CAPN) to evaluate rituximab treatment practices. Results: Of a total of 20 responses, 19 (95%) use rituximab in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, usually as a third or fourth agent. For the number of rituximab doses, the majority (68%) uses 2 doses each time they use it. Eighteen respondents (90%) measure B cells when using this medication, mostly monthly (50%) or every 3 months (39%). Respondents were administered additional doses of rituximab prophylactically (74%) or at first relapse (47%). Long-term drug safety and drug funding were identified as the main barriers to rituximab use. Limitations: This survey represents the practice styles of physicians in a single country, and there is a nonresponse bias of 63%. Also, associations were not calculated. Conclusions: Among Canadian pediatric nephrologists, rituximab use for nephrotic syndrome appears to be increasing, but significant practice variations remain, including approaches to B-cell monitoring. It is reserved mostly for second-line and third-line use due to cost, funding issues, and residual uncertainty regarding long-term safety. Understanding these critical areas of practice uncertainty is a first step to optimize treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children.

Abstract
Purpose of review: The Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training (KRESCENT) is a national Canadian training program for kidney scientists, funded by the Kidney Foundation of Canada (KFOC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN). We describe our first year of incorporating patient partners into a scientific peer-review committee, the 2017 committee to select senior research trainees and early-career kidney researchers for funding and training, in the hope that it will be helpful to others who wish to integrate the perspective of people with lived experience into the peer-review process. Sources of information: Other peer-review committees, websites, journal articles, patient partners, Kidney Foundation of Canada Research Council, Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease (Can-SOLVE CKD) Patient Council, participants in the 2017 Kidney Foundation of Canada KRESCENT peer-review panel. Methods: We describe our motivation, rationale, guiding principles, plans, feedback, implementation, and response. Key findings: We disseminated a “call for patient partners” 8 weeks before the meeting, seeking patients or their care givers to partner with the KRESCENT peer-review panel; we defined these people with lived experience of kidney disease as patient partners. Eight patient partners came forward and all participated as reviewers. Patient partners first participated in a webinar to learn about the function, structure, and processes of a peer-review committee. They practiced reviewing plain language summaries and giving feedback. In a subsequent teleconference, they shared and discussed their reviews. Plain language summaries were scored, overall, on the same 0-5 quality scale used by scientific reviewers. Three patient reviewers participated in some or all of the 6-hour meeting, which was conducted as usual, for this panel, by teleconference (initially audio only; from 2020 onwards by videoconference). In the meeting, the 2 assigned scientific reviewers first gave their scores, followed by the patient reviewers giving their scores, and discussion (mostly scientific, and conducted in usual scientific language). Scientific reviewers then negotiated a consensus score based on their initial scores, the discussion, patient reviewers’ scores and statements, and the scientific officer’s notes. Patient reviewers, scientific reviewers, and the Kidney Foundation of Canada (KFOC) were generally positive about the process. The increased length of the meeting (estimated at 1 hour) was generally thought to be acceptable. Patient reviewers also provided feedback on the methods used to incorporate patients into the research under review. These comments were concrete, insightful, and helpful. The patients did not uniformly recommend that basic scientists involve patients in their work. We did not detect bias against preclinical science, work that did not involve patients, or rarer diseases. Some patients found participation inspiring and enlightening. All participants appreciated the idea of patient partners as community witnesses to a group process committed to fairness and supportiveness. We discussed assigning formal meaningful weight to patient reviewers’ assessments. Most, but not all, patients thought that the scientific reviewers were ultimately the best judges of the allocation of scarce research resources. Limitations: Patient participants tended to be Caucasian, middle class, and well educated. Because of the difficulties of travel for some people living with or supporting those living with kidney disease, our findings may not generalize fully to peer-review meetings that are conducted face to face. This is explicitly a supportive panel, committed to reviewing junior scientists with kindness as well as rigor; our findings may not generalize to panels conducted differently. We did not use formal qualitative methodology. Implications: Inclusion of patient partners as patient reviewers for the KRESCENT program peer-review panel was feasible, added value for scientific and patient reviewers, and for the funding stakeholders (CIHR, KFOC, and CSN). We were glad that we had taken this step and continue to refine the process with each successive competition.

Abstract
Background: Ongoing primary care during adolescence is recommended by best practice
guidelines for adolescents and young adults (AYAs; ages 12-25) with chronic
conditions. A synthesis of the evidence on the roles of Primary Care
Physicians (PCPs) and benefits of primary care is needed to support existing
guidelines. Methods: We used Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework, and searched
databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL) for studies that (i) were
published in English between 2004 and 2019, (ii) focused on AYAs with a
chronic condition(s) who had received specialist pediatric services, and
(iii) included relevant findings about PCPs. An extraction tool was
developed to organize data items across studies (eg, study design,
participant demographics, outcomes). Results: Findings from 58 studies were synthesized; 29 (50%) studies focused
exclusively on AYAs with chronic health conditions (eg, diabetes, cancer),
while 19 (33%) focused exclusively on AYAs with mental health conditions.
Roles of PCPs included managing medications, “non-complex” mental health
conditions, referrals, and care coordination, etc. Frequency of PCP
involvement varied by AYAs; however, female, non-Black, and older AYAs, and
those with severe/complex conditions appeared more likely to visit a PCP.
Positive outcomes were reported for shared-care models targeting various
conditions (eg, cancer, concussion, mental health). Conclusion: Our findings drew attention to the importance of effective collaboration
among multi-disciplinary specialists, PCPs, and AYAs for overcoming multiple
barriers to optimal transitional care. Highlighting the need for further
study of the implementation of shared care models to design strategies for
care delivery during transitions to adult care.

Abstract
Background: Childhood nephrotic syndrome is a rare kidney disease characterized by sudden onset of edema, massive proteinuria, and hypoalbuminemia. Rare diseases can have a long and difficult trajectory to diagnosis. Objective: We aimed to explore the experiences of children with nephrotic syndrome and their caregivers in their search of a nephrotic syndrome diagnosis. Design: An exploratory, qualitative descriptive study design. Setting: The Alberta Children’s Hospital outpatient nephrology program in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Sample: Children aged 9 to 18 years with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome and their caregivers. Methods: We undertook semi-structured interviews with children (alone or with a caregiver present) and their caregivers using a question guide suitable to their age and role. We used a thematic analysis approach to inductively code the data and characterize themes related to our research question. Results: Participants included 10 children aged 9 to 18 years (6 boys and 4 girls) and 18 caregivers (8 men and 10 women). We characterized 3 themes related to participants’ experiences in search of a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome: (1) unexpected and distressing symptom onset, (2) elusiveness of a diagnosis, and (3) encountering a diagnosis. Children with nephrotic syndrome and their caregivers described experiencing initial anxiety due to their unusual and unexpected symptom onset and lack of awareness about the disease. Perceived diagnostic delays and incorrect diagnosis early in the course of the disease contributed to multiple consultations with a variety of care providers. Overall, participants expressed a desire to move past their diagnosis, learn about nephrotic syndrome, and engage in their treatment plans. Limitations: The views expressed by participants may not reflect those of individuals from other settings. The time elapsed since participants’ nephrotic syndrome diagnosis may have influenced their recall of events and reactions to this diagnosis. Conclusions: In characterizing the diagnostic experiences of children and their caregivers, our study provides insight into how patients with nephrotic syndrome and their caregivers can be supported by the healthcare team along this journey. Focused strategies to increase awareness and understanding of nephrotic syndrome among healthcare providers are needed to improve patients’ and families’ diagnostic experiences.

Abstract
Background Variation in dose and duration of corticosteroids for childhood-onset steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome occurs worldwide, likely reflecting the evolving evidence on optimal dosing and variable severity of the disease observed between patients. We conducted a study to determine the associations between site, physician, and patient factors, and average daily corticosteroid dose and duration of therapy. Methods Data were derived from the Canadian Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome (CHILDNEPH) Project, an observational longitudinal study from 2013 to 2019 of children with nephrotic syndrome involving pediatric nephrologists in 11 sites across Canada. The primary outcome was average daily corticosteroid dose prescribed per episode of proteinuria, reported as mg/m2 prednisone equivalents. Secondary outcome was duration of treatment for each episode of proteinuria in days. Exposure variables were categorized into site-, physician-, and patient-level variables. Results In total, 328 children, median age at enrollment of 4.3 years old (interquartile range [IQR], 3.6), participated and were followed for a median time of 2.62 years (IQR, 2.6). The observed variability in average daily corticosteroid dose and in duration of therapy was mostly attributed to the site where the patient was treated. Accounting for between patient, physician, and site differences, average daily corticosteroid dose decreased with increasing age (beta coefficient, -0.07; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], -0.09 to -0.05], P<0.001). African and Indigenous ethnicity was associated with longer treatment duration compared with White patients (beta coefficient: African, 42.29, 95% CI, 7.85 to 76.73, P=0.02; Indigenous, 29.65, 95% CI, 2.79 to 56.52, P=0.03). Conclusions We found practice variation with respect to corticosteroid prescriptions across 11 Canadian sites, and that variation is mostly explained at the site level. Age and ethnicity are important factors to be considered, because they are significantly associated with the average corticosteroid dose and duration of therapy.

Abstract
Background: Women scientists are less likely to obtain Assistant Professorship and achieve promotion, and obtain less grant funding than men. Scientist/clinician-scientist training programs which provide salary awards as well as training and mentorship are a potential intervention to improve outcomes among women scientists. We hypothesized whether a programmatic approach to scientist/clinician-scientist training is associated with improved outcomes for women scientists in Canada when compared with salary awards alone. Trainees within the Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training Program (KRESCENT), Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientist Program (CCHCSP), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) salary award programs were evaluated. Objective: To examine whether the structured KRESCENT training program with salary support improves academic success for women scientists relative to salary awards alone. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Canadian national research scientist and clinician-scientist training programs and salary awards. Participants: KRESCENT cohort (n = 59, 2005-2017), CCHCSP cohort (n = 58, 2002-2015), and CIHR (n = 571, 2005-2015) Salary Awardees for postdoctoral fellows (PDF) and new investigators (NI). Measurements: National operating grant funding success, achieving an academic position as an Assistant Professor for PDF, or achieving promotion to Associate Professor for NI. Methods: The gender distribution of each cohort was determined using first name and NamepediA and was examined for PDF and NI, followed by a description of trainee outcomes by gender and training level. Results: KRESCENT and CIHR PDF were balanced (12/27, 44% men and 55/116, 47% women) while CCHCSP had a higher proportion of women (13/20, 65%). KRESCENT and CCHCSP NI retained women scientists (19/32, 59% and 22/38, 58% women), whereas CIHR NI had fewer women (165/455, 36% women vs 290/455, 64% men, P = 0.01). There was a high rate of NI operating grant success (91%-95%) with no gender differences in each cohort. There was a high proportion of CCHCSP PDF who achieved an Assistant Professorship (18/20, 90%) that may be due in part to a longer follow-up period (9.3 ± 3 years) compared with KRESCENT PDF (7/27, 26%, 0.88 ± 4.5 years), and these data were not available for CIHR PDF. Women KRESCENT NI showed increased promotion to Associate Professor (P = 0.02, 0.25 ± 3.2 years follow-up) and CCHCSP NI had high promotion rates (37/38, 97%, 6.9 ± 3.6 years follow-up) irrespective of gender. There was an overall trend toward more men pursuing biomedical research. Limitations: KRESCENT and CCHCSP training program cohort size and heterogeneity; assigning gender by first name may result in misclassification; lack of data on the respective applicant pools; and inability to examine intersectionality with gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Conclusion: Overall trainee performance across programs is remarkable by community standards regardless of gender. KRESCENT and CCHCSP training programs demonstrated balanced success in their PDF and NI, whereas the CIHR awardees had reduced representation of women scientists from PDF to NI. This exploratory study highlights the utility of programmatic training approaches like the KRESCENT program as potential tools to support and retain women scientists in the academic pipeline during the challenging PDF to NI transition period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney Injury (AKI) in children undergoing cardiac surgery (CS) is strongly associated with hospital morbidity. Post-discharge CS AKI outcomes are less clear. We evaluated associations between AKI and post-discharge (a) healthcare utilization, (b) chronic kidney disease (CKD) or hypertension and (c) mortality. METHODS This is a retrospective two-centre cohort study of children surviving to hospital discharge after CS. Primary exposures were post-operative ≥Stage 1 AKI and ≥Stage 2 AKI defined by Kidney Disease Impoving Global Outcomes. Association of AKI with time to outcomes was determined using multivariable Cox-Proportional Hazards analysis. RESULTS Of 350 participants included (age 3.1 (4.5) years), 180 [51.4%] developed AKI and 60 [17.1%] developed ≥Stage 2 AKI. Twenty-eight (9%) participants developed CKD or hypertension (composite outcome), and 17 (5%) died within 5 years of discharge. Post-operative ≥Stage 1 and ≥Stage 2 AKI were not associated with post-discharge hospitalizations, emergency room (ER) visits, physician visits or CKD or hypertension in adjusted analyses. A trend was observed between ≥Stage 2 AKI and mortality but was not statistically significant. In unadjusted stratified analyses, AKI was associated with post-discharge hospitalizations in children with RACHS-1 score ≥3, complex chronic disease classification and children living in urban areas. CONCLUSIONS Post-CS AKI is not associated with post-discharge healthcare utilization, death and CKD or hypertension, though it may be associated with healthcare utilization in more complex paediatric CS children. Studies should aim to better understand post-CS healthcare utilization patterns and non-AKI risk factors for CKD, hypertension and mortality, to reduce adverse long-term outcomes after CS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Family physicians and other members of the primary health care (PHC) team may be ideally positioned to provide transition care to adolescents and young adults (AYAs; aged 12-25 years) exiting pediatric specialty services. Potential solutions to well-known challenges associated with integrating PHC and specialty care need to be explored. OBJECTIVE To identify strategies to transition care by PHC professionals for AYAs with chronic conditions transitioning from pediatric to adult-oriented care. METHODS Participants were recruited from six Primary Care Networks in Calgary, Alberta. A total of 18 semi-structured individual interviews were completed, and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using a qualitative description approach, involving thematic analysis. RESULTS Participants offered a range of strategies for supporting AYAs with chronic conditions. Our analysis resulted in three overarching themes: (i) educating AYAs, families, and providers about the critical role of primary care; (ii) adapting existing primary care supports for AYAs and (iii) designing new tools or primary care practices for transition care. CONCLUSIONS Ongoing and continuous primary care is important for AYAs involved with specialty pediatric services. Participants highlighted a need to educate AYAs, families and providers about the critical role of PHC. Solutions to improve collaboration between PHC and pediatric specialist providers would benefit from additional perspectives from providers, AYAs and families. These findings will inform the development of a primary care-based intervention to improve transitional care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over 50% of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have uncontrolled hypertension, increasing their long-term risk of cardiovascular disease and progression to kidney failure. Children receiving medications or dialysis may also experience acute blood pressure fluctuations accompanied by debilitating symptoms. We aimed to describe the perspectives of children with CKD and their parental caregivers on blood pressure, to inform patient-centered care. METHODS Secondary thematic analysis was conducted on qualitative data from the Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Children and Adolescents initiative, encompassing 16 focus groups, an international Delphi survey, and two consensus workshops. We analyzed responses from children with CKD (aged 8-21 years) and caregivers (of children aged 0-21 years) pertaining to blood pressure. RESULTS Overall, 120 patients and 250 caregivers from 22 countries participated. We identified five themes: invisibility and normalization (reassured by apparent normotension, absence of symptoms, expected links with CKD); confused by ambiguity (hypertension indistinguishable from cardiovascular disease, questioning need for prophylactic intervention, frustrated by inconsistent messages, struggling with technical skills in measurement); enabling monitoring and maintaining health (gauging wellbeing, preventing vascular complications); debilitating and constraining daily living (provoking anxiety and agitation, helpless and powerless, limiting life activities); and burden of medications (overwhelmed by quantity of tablets, distress from unexpected side effects). CONCLUSIONS For children with CKD and their caregivers, blood pressure was an important heath indicator, but uncertainty around its implications and treatment hampered management. Providing educational resources to track blood pressure, and minimizing symptoms and treatment burden, may improve outcomes in children with CKD.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Many institutions lack an organized system of informal network for medical students wishing to explore neurosurgery. We sought to evaluate the role of extracurricular neurosurgical events in influencing student perceptions of neurosurgery.
Method
Participants for this study were recruited from a neurosurgical careers seminar and practical workshop. Responses were collected prospectively using a multi-method strategy consisting of closed and open-ended questions. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain a deeper insight of students’ evaluation of these events and their perceptions of neurosurgery.
Results
A total of 124 students attended our extracurricular neurosurgery events. These events showed benefits in clinical knowledge and career planning. Students perceived the practical workshops to be useful in improving their basic surgical skills. Semi-structured interviews revealed that students felt their opportunities in exploring clinical neurosciences to be limited, which was seen as contributing towards the wider culture of neurophobia.
Conclusions
Undergraduate neuroscience societies provide useful educational platforms for students interested in neurosurgery, even in regions lacking institutional neuroscience networks. To help mitigate the wider culture of neurophobia, undergraduate neuroscience societies should focus on non-academic aspects of neurosurgery that are more personal and engaging, in an effort to spark interest in those who have had little exposure to the specialty.

Abstract
Background Supporting patients to self-manage their chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been identified as a research priority by patients with CKD and those who care for them. Self-management has been shown to slow CKD progression and improve the quality of life of individuals living with the disease. Previous work has identified a need for a person-centered, theory-informed, web-based tool for CKD self-management that can be individualized to a patient’s unique situation, priorities, and preferences. We addressed this gap using an integrated knowledge translation method and patient engagement principles. Objective The aim of this study is to conduct systematic co-design and usability testing of a web-based self-management prototype for adults with CKD (nondialysis and nontransplant) and their caregivers to enhance self-management support. Methods A multistep, iterative system development cycle was used to co-design and test the My Kidneys My Health prototype. The 3-step process included creating website features and content using 2 sequential focus groups with patients with CKD and caregivers, heuristic testing using the 10 heuristic principles by Nielsen, and usability testing through in-person 60-minute interviews with patients with CKD and their caregivers. Patients with CKD, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, software developers, graphic designers, and policy makers were involved in all steps of this study. Results In step 1, 18 participants (14 patients and 4 caregivers) attended one of the 2 sequential focus groups. The participants provided specific suggestions for simplifying navigation as well as suggestions to incorporate video, text, audio, interactive components, and visuals to convey information. A total of 5 reviewers completed the heuristic analysis (step 2), identifying items mainly related to navigation and functionality. Furthermore, 5 participants completed usability testing (step 3) and provided feedback on video production, navigation, features and functionality, and branding. Participants reported visiting the website repeatedly for the following features: personalized food tool, my health care provider question list, symptom guidance based on CKD severity, and medication advice. Usability was high, with a mean system usability score of 90 out of 100. Conclusions The My Kidneys My Health prototype is a systematically developed, multifaceted, web-based CKD self-management support tool guided by the theory and preferences of patients with CKD and their caregivers. The website is user friendly and provides features that improve user experience by tailoring the content and resources to their needs. A feasibility study will provide insights into the acceptability of and engagement with the prototype and identify preliminary patient-reported outcomes (eg, self-efficacy) as well as potential factors related to implementation. This work is relevant given the shift to virtual care during the current pandemic times and provides patients with support when in-person care is restricted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Of the 15-20% of youth in North America affected by a chronic health condition (e.g., type 1 diabetes, cystic fibrosis) and/or mental health or neurodevelopmental disorder (e.g., depression, eating disorder, Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder), many often require lifelong specialist healthcare services. Ongoing primary care during childhood and into young adulthood is recommended by best practice guidelines. To date, it is largely unknown if, how, and when primary care physicians (PCPs; such as family physicians) collaborate with specialists as AYAs leave pediatric-oriented services. The proposed scoping review will synthesize the available literature on the roles of PCPs for AYAs with chronic conditions leaving pediatric specialty care and identify potential benefits and challenges of maintaining PCP involvement during transition. METHODS Arksey and O'Malley's original scoping review framework will be utilized with guidance from Levac and colleagues and the Joanna Briggs Institute. A search of databases including MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL will be conducted following the development of a strategic search strategy. Eligible studies will (i) be published in English from January 2004 onwards, (ii) focus on AYAs (ages 12-25) with a chronic condition(s) who have received specialist services during childhood, and (iii) include relevant findings about the roles of PCPs during transition to adult services. A data extraction tool will be developed and piloted on a subset of studies. Both quantitative and qualitative data will be synthesized. DISCUSSION Key themes about the roles of PCPs for AYAs involved with specialist services will be identified through this review. Findings will inform the development and evaluation of a primary-care based intervention to improve transition care for AYAs with chronic conditions.

Abstract
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome newly affects 1-3 per 100,000 children per year. Approximately 85% of cases show complete remission of proteinuria following glucocorticoid treatment. Patients who do not achieve complete remission within 4-6 weeks of glucocorticoid treatment have steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). In 10-30% of steroid-resistant patients, mutations in podocyte-associated genes can be detected, whereas an undefined circulating factor of immune origin is assumed in the remaining ones. Diagnosis and management of SRNS is a great challenge due to its heterogeneous etiology, frequent lack of remission by further immunosuppressive treatment, and severe complications including the development of end-stage kidney disease and recurrence after renal transplantation. A team of experts including pediatric nephrologists and renal geneticists from the International Pediatric Nephrology Association (IPNA), a renal pathologist, and an adult nephrologist have now developed comprehensive clinical practice recommendations on the diagnosis and management of SRNS in children. The team performed a systematic literature review on 9 clinically relevant PICO (Patient or Population covered, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) questions, formulated recommendations and formally graded them at a consensus meeting, with input from patient representatives and a dietician acting as external advisors and a voting panel of pediatric nephrologists. Research recommendations are also given.

Perspectives from primary health care providers on their roles for supporting adolescents and young adults transitioning from pediatric services. BMC Fam Pract 2020; 21:140.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transitioning from pediatric care to adult-oriented care at age 18 (the age of transfer in most countries and jurisdictions) is a complex process for adolescents and young adults affected by chronic physical health and/or mental health conditions. The role of primary health care (PHC) providers for this population is poorly understood. Perspectives from these providers, such as family physicians and other members of the primary care team, have not been explored in depth. METHODS A total of 18 participants (e.g., family physicians, social workers, nurses) were recruited from 6 Primary Care Networks in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, and transcribed verbatim. A qualitative description approach was used to analyze the data, and included thematic analysis. RESULTS Five distinct, yet overlapping, roles of primary health care providers for adolescents and young adults transitioning to adult care resulted from our analysis: (1) being the "common thread" (continuous accessible care); (2) caring for the "whole patient" (comprehensive care); (3) "knowing families" (family-partnered care); (4) "empowering" adolescents and young adults to develop "personal responsibility" (developmentally-appropriate care); and (5) "quarterbacking" care (coordination of specialist and/or community-based care). Participants identified potential benefits of these roles for adolescents and young adults transitioning to adult care, and barriers in practice (e.g., lack of time, having minimal involvement in pediatric care). CONCLUSIONS Input from family physicians, who follow their patients across the lifespan and provide the majority of primary care in Canada, are critical for informing and refining recommended transition practices. Our findings provide insights, from PHC providers themselves, to bolster the rationale for primary care involvement during transitions from pediatric specialty and community-based care for AYAs. Solutions to overcome barriers for integrating primary care and specialty care for adolescents and young adults need to be identified, and tested, with input from key stakeholders.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The inconsistency in outcomes reported and lack of patient-reported outcomes across trials in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) limits shared decision making. As part of the Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology (SONG)-Kids initiative, we aimed to generate a consensus-based prioritized list of critically important outcomes to be reported in all trials in children with CKD. STUDY DESIGN An online 2-round Delphi survey in English, French, and Hindi languages. SETTINGS & PARTICIPANTS Patients (aged 8-21 years), caregivers/family, and health care professionals (HCPs) rated the importance of outcomes using a 9-point Likert scale (7-9 indicating critical importance) and completed a Best-Worst Scale. ANALYTICAL APPROACH We assessed the absolute and relative importance of outcomes. Comments were analyzed thematically. RESULTS 557 participants (72 [13%] patients, 132 [24%] caregivers, and 353 [63%] HCPs) from 48 countries completed round 1 and 312 (56%) participants (28 [40%] patients, 64 [46%] caregivers, and 220 [56%] HCPs) completed round 2. Five outcomes were common in the top 10 for each group: mortality, kidney function, life participation, blood pressure, and infection. Caregivers and HCPs rated cardiovascular disease higher than patients. Patients gave lower ratings to all outcomes compared with caregivers/HCPs except they rated life participation (round 2 mean difference, 0.1), academic performance (0.1), mobility (0.4), and ability to travel (0.4) higher than caregivers and rated ability to travel (0.4) higher than HCPs. We identified 3 themes: alleviating disease and treatment burden, focusing on the whole child, and resolving fluctuating and conflicting goals. LIMITATIONS Most participants completed the survey in English. CONCLUSIONS Mortality, life participation, kidney function, and blood pressure were consistently highly prioritized by patients, caregivers, and HCPs. Patients gave higher priority to some lifestyle-related outcomes compared with caregivers/HCPs. Establishing critically important outcomes for all trials in children with CKD may improve consistent reporting of survival, kidney health, and clinical and life impact outcomes that are meaningful for decision making.

Abstract
Trials in children with chronic kidney disease do not consistently report outcomes that are critically important to patients and caregivers. This can diminish the relevance and reliability of evidence for decision making, limiting the implementation of results into practice and policy. As part of the Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Children and Adolescents (SONG-Kids) initiative, we convened 2 consensus workshops in San Diego, California (7 patients, 24 caregivers, 43 health professionals) and Melbourne, Australia (7 patients, 23 caregivers, 49 health professionals). This report summarizes the discussions on the identification and implementation of the SONG-Kids core outcomes set. Four themes were identified; survival and life participation are common high priority goals, capturing the whole child and family, ensuring broad relevance across the patient journey, and requiring feasible and valid measures. Stakeholders supported the inclusion of mortality, infection, life participation, and kidney function as the core outcomes domains for children with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop a pediatric-specific hypertension algorithm using administrative data and use it to evaluate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) and hypertension diagnosis 5 years post-discharge. METHODS Two-center retrospective cohort study of children (≤ 18 years old) admitted to the pediatric ICU in Montreal, Canada, between 2003 and 2005 and followed until 2010. Patients with a valid healthcare number and without end-stage renal disease were included. Patients who could not be merged with the provincial database, did not survive admission, underwent cardiac surgery, had pre-existing renal disease associated with hypertension or a prior diagnosis of hypertension were excluded. AKI defined using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition. Using diagnostic codes and medications from administrative data, novel pediatric-specific hypertension definitions were designed. Both the evaluation of the prevalence of hypertension diagnosis and the association between AKI and hypertension occurred. RESULTS Nineteen hundred and seventy eight patients were included (median age at admission [interquartile range] 4.3 years [1.1-11.8], 44% female, 325 (16.4%) developed AKI). Of these patients, 130 (7%) had a hypertension diagnosis 5 years after discharge. Patients with AKI had a higher prevalence of hypertension diagnosis [non-AKI: 84/1653 (5.1%) vs. AKI: 46/325 (14.2%), p < .001]. Children with AKI had a higher adjusted risk of hypertension diagnosis (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 2.19 [1.47-3.26]). CONCLUSIONS Children admitted to the ICU have a high prevalence of hypertension post-discharge and children with AKI have over two times higher risk of hypertension compared to those with no AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES (1) To evaluate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) in the PICU and long-term mortality and (2) to determine the extent to which adding the urine output (UO)-defined AKI alters the association. METHODS A 2-center retrospective cohort study of children (≤18 years old) admitted to the PICU between 2003 and 2005 for noncardiac surgery, with follow-up until 2010. Patients with end stage renal disease, no provincial health insurance number, who died during hospitalization, or could not be linked to administrative data were excluded. One hospitalization per patient was included. AKI was defined by using serum creatinine criteria and/or UO criteria. Mortality was ascertained by using administrative data. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between AKI and long-term mortality. RESULTS The study population included 2041 patients (55.7% male, mean admission age 6.5 ± 5.8 years). Of 2041 hospital survivors, 9 (0.4%) died within 30 days, 51 (2.5%) died within 1 year, and 118 (5.8%) died within 5 to 7 years postdischarge. AKI was independently associated with 5- to 7-year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 3.10 [1.46-6.57] and 3.38 [1.63-7.02], respectively). Including UO did not strengthen the association. CONCLUSIONS AKI is associated with 5- to 7-year mortality. Because this is an observational study we cannot determine if AKI is causative of mortality or of the pathophysiology. However, patients with AKI represent a high-risk group. It is reasonable that these patients be considered for targeted follow-up until future researchers better elucidate these relationships.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transition to adult care is a challenging and complex process for youth with special healthcare needs. We aim to compare effectiveness of a patient navigator service in reducing emergency room (ER) use among adolescents with chronic health conditions transitioning to adult care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Pragmatic randomised controlled trial parallel group design comparing ER visit rates between patients with access to a personalised navigator intervention compared with usual care. Unit of randomisation is the patient. Treatment assignment will not be blinded. Embedded qualitative study to understand navigator's role and cost analysis attributable to the intervention will be performed. Patients aged 16-21 years, followed within a chronic disease clinic, expected to be transferred to adult care within 12 months and residing in Alberta during study period will be recruited from three tertiary care paediatric hospitals. Sample size will be 300 in each arm. Navigator intervention over 24 months is designed to assist participants in four domains: transition preparation, health system brokering, socioeconomic determinants of health and self-management. Primary outcome is ER visit rate during observation period. Secondary outcomes are ambulatory and inpatient care utilisation measures, as well as Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire score, and Short-Form Health Survey 12 (SF-12) score at 6 and 18 months post-randomisation. Poisson regression will compare rates of ER/urgent care visits between navigator and control participants, using intention to treat principle. Cost analysis of the intervention will be conducted. Thematic analysis will be used to identify perceptions of stakeholders regarding the role of navigators. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was obtained from the University of Calgary Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board (REB #162561) and the University of Alberta Health Research Ethics Board (Pro00077325). Our team is composed of diverse stakeholders who are committed to improving transition of care who will assist with dissemination of results. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03342495.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electronic health (e-health) tools may support patients' self-management of chronic kidney disease. We aimed to identify preferences of patients with chronic kidney disease, caregivers and health care providers regarding content and features for an e-health tool to support chronic kidney disease self-management. METHODS A patient-oriented research approach was taken, with 6 patient partners (5 patients and 1 caregiver) involved in study design, data collection and review of results. Patients, caregivers and clinicians from across Canada participated in a 1-day consensus workshop in June 2018. Using personas (fictional characters) and a cumulative voting technique, they identified preferences for content for 8 predetermined topics (understanding chronic kidney disease, diet, finances, medication, symptoms, travel, mental and physical health, work/school) and features for an e-health tool. RESULTS There were 24 participants, including 11 patients and 6 caregivers, from across Canada. The following content suggestions were ranked the highest: basic information about kidneys, chronic kidney disease and disease progression; reliable information on diet requirements for chronic kidney disease and comorbidities, renal-friendly foods; affordability of medication, equipment, food, financial resources and planning; common medications, adverse effects, indications, cost and coverage; symptom types and management; travel limitations, insurance, access to health care, travel checklists; screening and supports to address mental health, cultural sensitivity, adjusting to new normal; and support to help integrate at work/school, restrictions. Preferred features included visuals, the ability to enter and track health information and interact with health care providers, "on-the-go" access, links to resources and access to personal health information. INTERPRETATION A consensus workshop developed around personas was successful for identifying detailed subject matter for 8 predetermined topic areas, as well as preferred features to consider in the codevelopment of a chronic kidney disease self-management e-health tool. The use of personas could be applied to other applications in patient-oriented research exploring patient preferences and needs in order to improve care and relevant outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Although numerous websites for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are available, little is known about their content and quality. Objective: To evaluate the quality of CKD websites, and the degree to which they align with information needs identified by patients with CKD. Methods: We identified websites by entering “chronic kidney disease” in 3 search engines: Google.com (with regional variants for Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States), Bing.com, and Yahoo.com. We included the first 50 unique English-language sites from each search. We evaluated website content using a 30-point scale comprising 8 priority content domains identified by patients with CKD (understanding CKD, diet, symptoms, medications, mental/physical health, finances, travel, and work/school). We used standardized tools to evaluate usability, reliability, and readability (DISCERN, HONcode, LIDA, Reading Ease, and Reading Grade Level). Two reviewers independently conducted the search, screen, and evaluation. Results: Of the 2093 websites identified, 115 were included. Overall, sites covered a mean (SD) of 29% (17.8) of the CKD content areas. The proportion of sites covering content related to understanding CKD, symptoms, and diet was highest (97%, 80%, and 72%, respectively). The proportion of sites covering travel, finances, and work/school content was lowest (22%, 12%, and 12%, respectively). The mean (SD) scores for DISCERN, LIDA and HONcode were 68% (14.6), 71% (14.4), and 75% (17.2), respectively, considered above average for usability and reliability. The mean (SD) Reading Grade Level was 10.6 (2.8) and Reading Ease was 49.8 (14.4), suggesting poor readability. Conclusions: Although many CKD web sites were of reasonable quality, their readability was poor. Furthermore, most sites covered less than 30% of the content patients identified as important for CKD self-management. These results will inform content gaps in internet-accessible information on CKD self-management that should be addressed by future eHealth web-based tools.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transition to adult care represents a vulnerable period for young people with special health care needs as they navigate multiple life transitions and developmental issues. Patient navigators are a promising intervention designed to facilitate the transfer from pediatric to adult care. However, consistent definitions, key tasks, roles and responsibilities are lacking in guiding the scope of practice and the implementation of patient navigators. METHODS Fundamental qualitative description was utilized in this study to identify perceptions from health care providers about implementing a patient navigator service for young people with special health care needs in transition to adult care. A purposive sample of health care providers with a variety of backgrounds within pediatric and adult systems in Alberta, Canada were recruited. Semi-structured interviews with participants were analyzed using thematic analysis to inductively identify perceptions regarding the role of patient navigators. RESULTS A total of 43 health care providers highlighted the need for a patient navigator service to encompass 4 key stages for young people with special health care needs transitioning from pediatric to adult services: (1) identification of young people with special health care needs and families requiring support, (2) preparation for transfer, (3) health system navigation and, (4) post-transfer support. CONCLUSIONS The results of this qualitative study provide guidance for the development of patient navigator interventions for young people with special health care needs, as well as provide support for current transition services offered across Canada.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Calgary Transition Cohort was created to examine health service utilisation by adolescents affected by chronic health conditions seen in a tertiary paediatric hospital in the province of Alberta, Canada. The cohort includes adolescents who received care before the implementation of a hospital-wide intervention to improve transitions to adult care. PARTICIPANTS Using hospital records, a stepwise methodology involving a series of algorithms based on adolescents' visit frequency to a hospital ambulatory chronic care clinic (CCC) was used to identify the cohort. A visit frequency of ≥4 visits in any 24-month window, during the ages of 12-17 years old, was used to identify eligible adolescents, as agreed on by key stakeholders and chronic disease clinical providers, and reflects the usual practice at the hospital for routine care of children with chronic disease. FINDINGS TO DATE Adolescents with ≥4 visits to the same CCC in any 2-year period (n=1344) with a median of 8.7 years of follow-up data collected (range 1.4-9.1). The median age at study entry was 14 years (range 12-17) and 22 years (range 14-24) at study exit. The cohort was linked (97% successful match proportion) to their population-level health records that allowed for examination of occurrence of chronic disease codes in health utilisation encounters (ie, physician claims, hospital admissions and emergency room visits). At least one encounter with a chronic disease code (International Classification of Diseases, 9th/10th Revisions) was observed during the entire study window in 87.9% of the cohort. FUTURE PLANS The Calgary Transition Cohort will be used to address existing knowledge gaps about health service utilisation by adolescents, seen at a tertiary care hospital, affected by a broad group of chronic health conditions. These adolescents will require transition to adult-oriented care. Longitudinal analysis of health service use patterns over a 9-year window (2008-2016) will be conducted.

Abstract
Background Large studies evaluating pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) epidemiology and outcomes are lacking, partially due to underuse of large administrative health care data. Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of administrative health care data-defined AKI in children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Design Retrospective cohort study utilizing chart and administrative data. Setting Children admitted to the PICU at 2 centers in Montreal, QC. Patients Patients between 0 and 18 years old with a provincial health insurance number, without end-stage renal disease and admitted to the PICU between January 1, 2003, and March 31, 2005, were included. Measurements The AKI was defined from chart data using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition (Chart-AKI). The AKI defined using administrative health data (Admin-AKI) was based on International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) AKI codes. Methods Data available from retrospective chart review, including baseline and PICU patient characteristics, and serum creatinine (SCr) and urine output (UO) values during PICU admission, were merged with provincial administrative health care data containing diagnostic and procedure codes used for ascertaining Admin-AKI. Sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive value of Admin-AKI compared with Chart-AKI (reference standard) were calculated. Univariable associations between Admin-AKI and hospital mortality were evaluated. Results A total of 2051 patients (55% male, mean age at admission 6.1 ± 5.8 years, 355 cardiac surgery, 1696 noncardiac surgery) were included. The AKI defined by SCr or UO criteria occurred in 52% of cardiac surgery patients and 24% of noncardiac surgery patients. Overall, Admin-AKI detected Chart-AKI with low sensitivity, but high specificity in cardiac and noncardiac surgery patients. Sensitivity increased by 1.5 to 2 fold with each increase in AKI severity stage. Admin-AKI was associated with hospital mortality (13% in Admin-AKI vs 2% in non-AKI, P < .001). Limitations These data were generated in a PICU population; future research should study non-PICU populations. Conclusions Use of administrative health care data to define AKI in children leads to AKI incidence underestimation. However, for detecting more severe AKI, sensitivity is higher, while maintaining high specificity.

Abstract
Background Clinical experience suggests that childhood nephrotic syndrome is frequently diagnosed incorrectly, leading to delays in providing effective treatment. We hypothesized that the health care setting is an important determinant of diagnostic success, with implications for the patient and family health care experience. Our objectives were: (1) to characterize the relationship between diagnostic success and health care setting for the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome, (2) to determine types and frequencies of incorrect diagnoses, and (3) to understand the burden placed on patients and families as a result of incorrect and incomplete diagnoses. Methods A survey was conducted by phone or in-person with legal guardians of children 1 to 18 years diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome within 24 months before the study. The survey elicited information on type of health care setting utilized (e.g., family practice, emergency room) and on diagnoses and treatments. Results Seventy-four patients with varying ethnicities and socioeconomic profiles (37 male, 37 female, median age 4.8 years, range: 1.2 to 14.8) were included from four Canadian paediatric nephrology centres. Proportions of diagnostic success were high in emergency and paediatric care settings (66% and 64% correct, respectively), but low in primary care settings (17% family practice and 17% walk-in clinic, respectively). Diagnostic delays ranged from 0 to 428 days (median 9.5, interquartile range [IQR] = 20.5). "Allergies" was the most common incorrect diagnosis (47%). Parents and legal guardians reported missed work (55%) and added expenses (50%) prior to obtaining a correct diagnosis. Conclusions Childhood nephrotic syndrome is often incorrectly diagnosed, especially in primary care settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physicians often fail to implement clinical practice guidelines. Our aim was to evaluate whether a purposefully sequenced, multifaceted educational intervention would increase physician adherence to a guideline for voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) use following first urinary tract infection (UTI) in young children. METHODS Using a single centre, pretest-posttest design, we compared the proportion of guideline adherent VCUG orders and the VCUG ordering rate before and after three educational interventions (interactive lecture, clinical pathway, faxed reminder) selected and sequenced according to the PRECEDE (Predisposing, Reinforcing and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation) health promotion model. RESULTS One hundred and nine physicians ordered 219 VCUGs for 219 children. Following the interventions, there was an increase in the monthly proportion of adherent VCUGs ordered by pediatricians (analysis of variance (ANOVA) F(2,29) = 3.38, p = .048) and non-pediatricians (ANOVA F(2,28) = 14.71, p < .001). Also, pediatricians decreased their monthly VCUG ordering rate (linear trend incidence rate ratio 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.54, 0.99]). Pediatricians were more likely to adhere with the guideline than were non-pediatricians (odds ratio 2.91, 95% CI [1.5, 5.5]). CONCLUSION Exposure to purposefully sequenced educational interventions based on the PRECEDE model was associated with increased adherence to guideline recommendations.

Abstract
For youth with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their families, shifting from pediatric to adult systems of renal care can be challenging. This study explored the transitional process experienced by youth with CKD and their families, including perceived facilitators and barriers to effective transition. Qualitative interviews were conducted with youth with CKD (n=28) and their parents (n=28). Ambiguity regarding healthcare provider roles within the adult system was frequently reported. Themes reflected parental challenge relinquishing care responsibility, synergistic and divergent expectations between youth and parents, tensions in youth self-care readiness, desired healthcare provider roles in transition preparedness, and system considerations in transition. A "learning stage" was recommended in which youth experienced the adult system while supported by known pediatric team members.

Abstract
IntroductionIn Alberta, 2,400 youth with chronic needs transition to adulthood every year, and many are not prepared for this change. Transferring youth from pediatric to adult-oriented care is poorly managed. To improve this process, we need to know how youth patients use health services during this period.
Objectives and ApproachWe used the Alberta Health Services Corporate Data Repository (CDR-9), which collects records of ambulatory visits, to define a cohort of patients with chronic disease using pediatric tertiary care; data is available from 2008 to 2016. Personal health numbers allowed for deterministic data linkage to CDR-9, registry data (e.g., death dates, moves out of province), and area deprivation indices. Eligible patients were: (a) between ages 12-15 years in 2008 (for ≥2 years observation in adulthood, after age 18), (b) involved with a Chronic Care Clinic (CCC) at Alberta Children’s Hospital, and (c) had repeated CCC visits with ≥3 months between visits.
ResultsWe identified 26 Chronic Care Clinics (CCC) at Alberta Children’s Hospital (Calgary, Alberta), with stakeholder input. Using CDR-9, a total of 10,111 patients at the hospital were identified who were 12 to 15 years old at the start of the study window (in 2008), and who visited a CCC before age 18. Less than 1% (n=418) were excluded due to moving out of province or having an invalid personal heath number. Final sample sizes were captured across 3 algorithms (A1, A2, A3), based on frequency of CCC visits within a 2-year period: (i) A1: ≥2 CCC visits (N=4123); (ii) A2: ≥3 CCC visits (N=2242); (iii) A3: ≥4 CCC visits (N=1344).
Conclusion/ImplicationsOur identified cohort of youth affected by chronic conditions is the first of its kind in Alberta, and can answer important questions about patterns of service utilization in other sectors of care. Our next step is to link the cohort to population-level datasets (e.g., physician claims, NACRS, CIHI-DAD).

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a great unmet clinical need for efficacious, tolerable, economical and orally administrated drugs for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). New therapeutic avenues have become possible including the development of medications that target specific genetic pathways found to be relevant in other immune mediated diseases. AIMS To provide an overview of recent clinical trials for new generation oral targeted medications that may have a future role in IBD management. METHODS Pubmed and Medline searches were performed up to 1 March 2018 using keywords: "IBD", "UC", "CD", "inflammatory bowel disease" "ulcerative colitis", "Crohn's disease" in combination with "phase", "study", "trial" and "oral". A manual search of the clinical trial register, article reference lists, abstracts from meetings of Digestive Disease Week, United European Gastroenterology Week and ECCO congress were also conducted. RESULTS In randomised controlled trials primary efficacy endpoints were met for tofacitinib (JAK 1/3 inhibitor-phase III), upadacitinib (JAK 1 inhibitor-phase II) and AJM300 (α4-integrin antagonist-phase II) in ulcerative colitis. Ozanimod (S1P receptor agonist-phase II) also demonstrated clinical remission. For Crohn's disease, filgotinib (JAK1 inhibitor-phase II) met primary endpoints and laquinimod (quinolone-3-carboxide small molecule-phase II) was also efficacious. Trials using mongersen (SMAD7 inhibitor) and vidofludimus (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitor) have been halted. CONCLUSIONS This is potentially the start of an exciting new era in which multiple therapeutic options are at the disposal of physicians to treat IBD on an individualised basis. Head-to-head studies with existing treatments and longer term safety data are needed for this to be possible.
