- Title:
- Assessments for Identifying Tactile Deficits in Individuals with Stroke: A Scoping Review
- Description:
- A protocol describing a scoping review to summarize tactile assessments for individuals with stroke at their upper extremities.
- Abstract:
- Accurate perception of objects that one interacts with, through touch, is instrumental to successfully learn and perform physical activities. Studies indicate that the perception of touch, or tactile stimuli, in the upper extremities is commonly negatively impacted after a stroke. In this scoping review, we seek to examine existing tactile assessments for the upper extremity of individuals with stroke. We aim to determine whether there is a gap in existing approaches that limits our understanding of the source of tactile perceptual deficits post-stroke. This information will be beneficial to understand the clinical value of existing assessments and potentially spur the development of new targeted assessments.

- Inter-ICU Transfer of Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure-A Scoping Review
- Abstract:
- Rationale:Inter-ICU transfer of critically ill Acute Respiratory Failure Patients (ARF) are increasingly common in the current landscape of critical care delivery, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. A major driver for inter-ICU transfer of ARF patients is the increasing evidence base that suggests that mortality and morbidity are reduced by receiving care at high-resource hospitals. However, no uniform guidance exists to help clinicians decide who, why, when, or where ICU patients with ARF should be transferred. Unfortunately, due to the lack of current guidance, each interface has opportunities for both implicit and explicit bias to influence decision-making and care. We conduct this scoping review to ask these questions that have been un answered in a comprehensive review the what, who, why, when and where of ARF patient transfers between intensive care units.

- Title:
- Risk of Heart Failure Among Breast Cancer Survivors
- Abstract:
- Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is prevalent among breast cancer survivors, leading to an increased risk of death in this patient population. Shared modifiable risk factors between CVD and cancer, such as obesity, physical inactivity, and diet, could offer a potential explanation for the increasing prevalence of CVD among cancer survivors. Another possible explanation is that frequently used breast cancer therapies, such as trastuzumab, are associated with cardiotoxicity, which could increase the risk of developing heart failure. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess if the age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with the risk of heart failure across various age groups. Another objective of the study was to examine if the risk of heart failure among breast cancer survivors differed by chemotherapy use, specifically trastuzumab. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using 22,205 adult female breast cancer patients treated at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Patients were grouped into 50 years, 51-64 years, and 65 years for the age at breast cancer diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier curves for time to heart failure diagnoses were generated for the various age at diagnosis groups, and the Cox Proportional Hazards assumption was evaluated. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with adjustment for important covariates concerning demographics, cancer characteristics, lab values, and comorbidities. Results: In assessing heart failure for all female breast cancer patients, older age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.70-2.91 and HR 6.61, 95% CI 5.16-8.47 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively). When adjusted for race, ethnicity, second cancer, smoking status, baseline cholesterol, baseline HDL, baseline glucose, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction, older age at breast cancer diagnosis remained associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HR 2.14, 95% CI 1.50-3.04 and HR 5.33, 95% CI 3.83-7.41 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively). In assessing heart failure among female breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab, age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of heart failure only in the 65 years group (HR 1.90, 95% CI 0.84-4.29 and HR 3.29, 95% CI 1.43-7.58 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively). When adjusted for race, ethnicity, and second cancer, age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of heart failure in all age groups (HR 2.71, 95% CI 1.09-6.73 and HR 4.82, 95% CI 1.88-12.33 for 51-64 years and 65 years compared to 50 years, respectively) in female breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. Discussion: This analysis suggested a strong association between the age at breast cancer diagnosis and the risk of heart failure when examining all female breast cancer patients. Individuals diagnosed with breast cancer at an older age were at an increased risk of developing heart failure. However, this association varied when evaluating only female breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. This study provides important foundations to assessing the long-term impacts of breast cancer diagnosis and treatments, especially among younger adults compared to healthy peers. Thus, additional large-scale studies conducting a case-control analysis in this population and longitudinal studies in additional populations are required to fully elucidate the effect of age at breast cancer diagnosis on the risk of heart failure.

39. Analysis of National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Chicago HelpLine Referral Data (2019-2020)
- Title:
- Analysis of National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Chicago HelpLine Referral Data (2019-2020)
- Abstract:
- Purpose: NAMI Chicago has a HelpLine for those who wish to contact them with mental health & wellness needs.1 There is a lot of data that is logged regarding these calls, and a lot of it is being analyzed already; however, there is an area in which analysis is definitely still needed, specifically with respect to resource connections, i.e., referrals. In other words, data pertains to what happens after a caller interfaces with the NAMI Chicago HelpLine & is directed toward a resource. In some cases, there are specific follow-ups by NAMI Chicago that happen. The objective is to provide quality assurance program evaluation and feedback to NAMI Chicago about using de-identified call data to analyze their processes: potential areas at the outset included barriers to referrals, facilitators, areas for improvement, etc. Procedures: The purpose of this research is quality assurance around barriers to follow-up identified by NAMI Chicago call center responders and to assess the frequency of the most typical barriers. NAMI Chicago provides telephone referrals to callers seeking mental health services throughout the Chicago area. It was estimated that 13,000 calls were fielded by NAMI in 2020 and an analysis of the barriers experienced by callers seeking referrals to mental health services will help NAMI improve services to people in the community. This analysis has ended up examining calls placed across all of 2019, as well as all of 2020.

- Title:
- An Assessment of Multisectoral Factors Influencing Global Trends in Neonatal Mortality Rates
- Abstract:
- Objective: Neonatal mortality continues to be a global burden on healthcare. Multisectoral factors have been identified that are associated with neonatal mortality rate. The primary objective of this study was to determine the extent of the association between these variables and neonatal mortality rate, and which variables are key in targeting for future public health policy to reduce neonatal death. Methods: Preliminary data analysis revealed variables believed to be associated with neonatal mortality rate. The twenty countries that account for 75% of total global neonatal death were identified. STATA statistical analysis software was used to conduct data analysis from 2000 to 2019, in 5-year intervals, for all countries. Regression analyses and correlation matrices were run for neonatal mortality and variables such as median income, stillbirth rates, healthcare spending, low birth weight, relative number of physicians, relative number of nurses, literacy level, and maternal mortality ratio. The variables were entered into a series of models that accounted for different combinations. Model A included neonatal mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio change, and median income change. Model B included low birth weight instead of maternal mortality ratio. Model C included neonatal mortality rate, low birth weight rate, and healthcare spending. Model D included neonatal mortality rate, median income, and literacy level. Results: The mean change in nation-level median income over the last 20 years was found to be 1.63 times the median income in 2000-2004. The regression analysis revealed that an increase in median income was associated with a decrease in neonatal mortality rate. There was a 2.7-unit change in neonatal mortality rate seen for every 1-unit change in low-birth-weight rate, a 0.24 unit decrease for every 1-unit change in literacy level, a 1.47-point decrease for every 1-unit change of healthcare spending, and a 0.02-unit change for every 1-unit change in maternal mortality ratio from 2000-2004 through 2015-2019. Model A demonstrated that there was a 0.02 change in neonatal mortality rate for every 1-unit change in maternal mortality ratio, and a -1.58-unit change for every 1 unit of median income. Model B demonstrated that there was a 2.39-unit change in neonatal mortality rate for every 1-unit change in low-birth-weight rate, and a -1.46-unit change for every 1 unit of median income. Model C demonstrated that there was a 2.56-unit change in neonatal mortality rate for every 1-unit change in low-birth-weight rate, and a -1.32-unit change for every 1 unit of healthcare spending. Model D demonstrated that there was a -0.23-unit change in neonatal mortality rate for every 1 unit increase in literacy level, and a -1.45-unit change for every 1 unit increase in median income. Discussion: The results of this analysis suggest the highest degree of correlation between neonatal mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio, and median income. There results offer foundational starting points for research in neonatal mortality and associated multisectoral factors. Further research is necessary to determine how these results can be used to target mortality reduction in the twenty countries determined to have the highest neonatal total deaths. Focusing on median income as a strongly correlated factor of neonatal mortality rate may allow for the future creation of targeted public health policies. Creating models that account for a higher percentage of the variance would be useful as well. Future analysis should focus on deriving deeper associations between the variables through further literature review or data collection. In addition, future research should focus on determining why the association between maternal mortality ratio and neonatal mortality rate wasnt as high as anticipated. Eventually, these findings could be used to influence public health programs, policy, or planning by aiding in the creation of a dissemination plan for a best practice training program aimed at reducing neonatal mortality rated globally.
