Objective: This study aimed to evaluate nurses' trust in their leader and organizational commitment, examining the relationship between these factors postpandemic and investigating if age, tenure, and specialty area predicted trust and commitment.
Background: The nursing shortage was intensified by COVID-19. Nonnursing studies have explored the relationship of employee trust with organizational commitment, illustrating sparsity in nursing literature.
Article Synopsis
- * The STOP trial established chronic transfusions as a key treatment for SCD in children at high risk for stroke, leading to a review of stroke rates in a large patient cohort from California.
- * Data from 1991-2019 indicated rising rates of ischemic strokes and TIAs in younger and adult SCD patients, pointing to the importance of managing risk factors such as age, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia for stroke prevention.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often requires allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for cure, but historically alloHCT has been strikingly underutilized. Reasons for this remain uncertain at the population level. We examined alloHCT utilization over time and explored associations between demographic/healthcare factors and use of alloHCT by age group (AYA 15-39y, adult 40-64y, older adult 65-79y) using a linked dataset merging the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, California Cancer Registry, and California Patient Discharge Database.

The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) is a key resource for quantifying solid SN incidence following HCT, but the completeness of SN ascertainment is uncertain. Within a cohort of 18 450 CIBMTR patients linked to the California Cancer Registry (CCR), we evaluated the completeness of solid SN data reported to the CIBMTR from 1991 to 2018 to understand the implications of using CIBMTR data alone or combined with CCR data to quantify the burden of solid SNs after HCT.

Methods: We used data from the California Cancer Registry (2006-2018) linked to statewide hospitalisation, emergency department, and ambulatory surgery databases. We estimated the cumulative incidence of and factors associated with endocrinopathies among adolescents and young adults (AYA, 15-39 years) who survived ≥2 years after diagnosis.
