Patient perspectives on international multidisciplinary consensus criteria for chronic rhinosinusitis disease control.

Objectives: Recently, a set of consensus criteria and near-consensus criteria for the evaluation of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control was identified by an international multidisciplinary panel of key stakeholders. The objective of this study is to evaluate patient perspectives on these disease control criteria.

Methods: This is a qualitative phenomenological study using constant comparative methodology.

What Is the Nutritional Quality of Pre-Packed Foods Marketed to Children in Food Stores? A Survey in Switzerland.

Food marketing targeting children influences their choices and dietary habits, and mainly promotes food high in fat, sugar, and salt as well as ultra-processed food. The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional quality of food and beverages marketed to children over the age of 3 and available on the Swiss market. Products with at least one marketing technique targeting children on the packaging were selected from five food store chains.

Development and application of a 2-step methodology to select a reference society providing Dietary Reference Values for national implementation.

Objective: To describe and discuss a 2-step methodology developed to select a reference society that provides Dietary Reference Values (DRV) for national implementation and to illustrate its application in Switzerland with one macronutrient and one micronutrient.

Design: During Step 1, we searched and compared DRV and methodologies used to define DRV from eight European societies for seven selected nutrients. We repeated this procedure during Step 2 for DRV from two preselected societies for forty-four nutrients.

A Novel Receivership Model for Transition of Young Adults With Diabetes: Experience From a Single-center Academic Transition Program.

Objective: The transition from pediatric to adult care for young adults with diabetes represents an important but often challenging time characterized by a shift from a family-centered care model of pediatrics to a patient-centered care model of adult medicine. We developed a structured transition program based on an adult receivership model at a large academic medical center to improve care coordination and patient satisfaction with the transition process.

Methods: From 2016 to 2020, we implemented a series of quality improvement efforts for young adults aged 18 to 23 years with diabetes by incorporating best practices from the American Diabetes Association guidelines on care for emerging adults.

A review of evidence for pneumococcal vaccination in adults at increased risk of pneumococcal disease: risk group definitions and optimization of vaccination coverage in the United Kingdom.

Introduction: Pneumococcal disease (PD) significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality, carrying substantial economic and public health burden. This article is a targeted review of evidence for pneumococcal vaccination in the UK, the definitions of groups at particular risk of PD and vaccine effectiveness.

Areas Covered: Relevant evidence focusing on UK data from surveillance systems, randomized controlled trials, observational studies and publicly available government documents is collated and reviewed.
