Existing reviews on PROMs typically report the psychometric properties but rarely focus on the content validity. We performed a structured review of the content of items of stroke-specific HRQoL outcomes.

We used linear mixed models to examine demographic predictors of, and change over time in, self-reported depression and anxiety symptoms of a cohort of university students and staff/faculty between surveys administered in August-November 2021 and December 2021-March 2022.
Results: Students who identified as "other" race/ethnicity, Lesbian Gay Bisexual or Queer, and female, reported high baseline levels of both depression and anxiety.
Purpose: Many approaches have been used to model chordae tendineae geometries in finite element simulations of atrioventricular heart valves. Unfortunately, current "functional" chordae tendineae geometries lack fidelity (e.g.

- Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation (NSD) negatively affects reported outcomes in breast cancer patients, especially in terms of pain and overall wellbeing.
- A study analyzed data from 761 women in cancer symptom management trials, finding that those from more deprived neighborhoods reported worse physical and functional wellbeing (FWB) and higher pain.
- There’s a need for clinical trials to address community-level challenges faced by these patients, as interventions targeting these needs could help reduce health disparities.
