Early Intervention Service Intensity and Change in Children's Functional Capabilities.

Objective: To estimate correlates of early intervention (EI) service dosage and gains in children's functional capabilities from EI entry and discharge.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Secondary analyses of a subset of data (N=1005) collected from an EI administrative database on children discharged from a large, urban EI program between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2016.

Social and Functional Characteristics of Receipt and Service Use Intensity of Core Early Intervention Services.

Objective: Describe children's diagnostic, social, and functional characteristics associated with the use of core early intervention (EI) services.

Methods: The sample included infants and toddlers (N = 2045) discharged from an urban EI program (2014-2016). Adjusted logit models estimated the marginal effects and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of receipt of any of the 4 core EI services, controlling for the child's developmental condition type, race and ethnicity, primary language, sex, insurance type, age at referral, and functional performance at EI entry.

Community engagement to pilot electronic patient-reported outcomes (e-PROs) in early intervention: Lessons learned.

Background: Electronic data capture is essential to advancing family-centered coordinated care in early intervention (EI). The purpose of this paper is to report on EI service coordinator response to piloting an electronic parent-reported outcome (e-PRO) assessment as part of their routine workflow, including lessons learned that may inform future phases of e-PRO implementation.

Methods: This second pilot study involved families enrolled in a large EI program (n=1040 families) in concert with their implementation of a statewide quality improvement initiative for care plan development and outcomes reporting.

Long-term outcomes (>2 years) of atrial fibrillation ablation using a multi-electrode ablation catheter in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Purpose: Catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is an effective treatment. Favourable outcomes at 6-12 months post-ablation have been reported using the multi-electrode catheter 'pulmonary vein ablation catheter (PVAC)' but little is known about longer term outcomes. There are also limited data on quality of life (QoL) post-atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation beyond 2 years of follow-up.

Understanding the experiences and service needs of siblings of individuals with first-episode psychosis: a phenomenological study.

Background: Despite recent focus on developing family-inclusive services to meet the needs of young people with first-episode psychosis, the needs of their siblings are often overlooked.

Aims: This study explored the experiences and needs of siblings of young adults with first-episode psychosis receiving support from two Early Intervention in Psychosis Services in South-East England.

Methods: Thirty-one siblings aged 11-35 years, were given a semi-structured interview to gather their perspectives and accounts of their lived experiences.
