Qualitative Insights into Key Angelman Syndrome Motor Related Concepts Reported by Caregivers-A Thematic Analysis of Semi-Structured Interviews.

Previous patient-centered concept models of Angelman syndrome (AS) are integral in developing our understanding of the symptoms and impact of this condition with a holistic perspective and have highlighted the importance of motor function. We aimed to develop the motor and movement aspects of the concept models, to support research regarding motor-related digital outcomes aligned with patients' and caregivers' perspectives. We conducted a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews of 24 caregivers to explore AS motor-related features, factors influencing them and their impact on patients and caregivers.

Identification of Patient Profiles with High Risk of Hospital Re-Admissions for Acute COPD Exacerbations (AECOPD) in France Using a Machine Learning Model.

Purpose: To characterise patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are rehospitalised for an acute exacerbation, to estimate the cost of these hospitalisations, to characterise high risk patient sub groups and to identify factors potentially associated with the risk of rehospitalisation.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective study using the French National Hospital Discharge Database. All patients aged ≥40 years hospitalised for an acute exacerbation of COPD between 2015 and 2016 were identified and followed for six months.
