Article Synopsis
- The increasing prevalence of multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) poses significant health challenges, leading to worse life expectancy and quality of life for affected individuals.
- An initiative named SysteMatic aims to create a co-designed action plan focused on equitable prevention and care for MLTCs, involving individuals with lived experiences, healthcare professionals, and industry partners in the UK.
- The Hub will analyze both personal experiences and large-scale health data to set specific innovation goals and foster system transformation over the next 3-7 years.
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate possible long-term effects of treatment with brivaracetam (BRV) on body weight in children with epilepsy.
Method: Post hoc analysis of data from patients (aged 1 month to <17 years) with ≥6 months of BRV treatment in a long-term, open-label trial (N01266 [NCT01364597]). Outcomes included body weight and body mass index (BMI) over time (z-score growth curves), and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
Background: Utilization of electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tools to monitor symptoms in patients undergoing cancer treatment has shown clinical benefits. Tennessee Oncology (TO) implemented an ePRO platform in 2019, allowing patients to report their health status online. We conducted a real-world, multicenter, observational, non-interventional cohort study to evaluate utilization of this platform in adults with solid tumors who initiated immuno-oncology (IO) therapy as monotherapy or in combination at TO clinics.

Background: The Powered Mobility Device Autonomy Residential Screen (PoMoDARS) is a new tool to enable clinicians to screen resident capacity and performance skills for powered mobility device (PMD) use in residential aged care settings. The PoMoDARS is context specific, time efficient and promotes resident autonomy and safety.
Aims: To (i) undertake initial face and content validation of the PoMoDARS, and (ii) use the research findings to make any modifications.
