Characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake among adults aged 50 years and above in England (8 December 2020-17 May 2021): a population-level observational study.

Objective: To determine characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine coverage among individuals aged 50 years and above in England since the beginning of the programme.

Design: Observational cross-sectional study assessed by logistic regression and mean prevalence margins.

Setting: COVID-19 vaccinations delivered in England from 8 December 2020 to 17 May 2021.

Multimodality cardiac evaluation in children and young adults with multisystem inflammation associated with COVID-19.

Aims: Following the peak of the UK COVID-19 epidemic, a new multisystem inflammatory condition with significant cardiovascular effects emerged in young people. We utilized multimodality imaging to provide a detailed sequential description of the cardiac involvement.

Methods And Results: Twenty consecutive patients (mean age 10.

Feasibility and economic assessment of chromocolonoscopy for detection of proximal serrated neoplasia within a population-based colorectal cancer screening programme (CONSCOP): an open-label, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.

Background: Most post-colonoscopy interval colorectal cancers are proximal; serrated polyps are often precursors to these cancers and are considered difficult to detect. We assessed the safety, feasibility, and economic effect of chromocolonoscopy on detection of proximal serrated neoplasia.

Methods: We did an open-label, multicentre, randomised, controlled non-inferiority trial including patients from Bowel Screening Wales centres.

An interprofessional education approach to fall prevention: preparing members of the interprofessional healthcare team to implement STEADI into practice.

An aging population benefits from healthcare providers trained in the care of older adults. Interprofessional education (IPE) and service-learning activities focused on geriatric conditions like falls may address this need. A fall prevention IPE activity using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries (STEADI) initiative was implemented to prepare health sciences students to manage older adult falls.

Echocardiographic Versus Angiographic Assessment of Patent Arterial Duct in Percutaneous Closure: Towards X-ray Free Duct Occlusion?

Device selection and procedural guidance for percutaneous ductal closure strongly rely upon angiographic and echocardiographic imaging. Current literature recognises 2D echocardiography as an essential tool for diagnosis and assessment but does not define a consistent methodology to optimise ductal measurement. There is little research comparing echocardiography with gold standard angiography for ductal measurement.
