Relative Forgiveness of Different Allopurinol Implementation Patterns in People with Gout and their Impact on Clinical Outcomes: a Simulation Study.

Background And Objective: Adherence to urate-lowering therapy among people with gout is poor, so it is important to understand which day-to-day medication-taking ('implementation') patterns are most likely to lead to suboptimal serum urate concentrations and worsen clinical outcomes. This study aimed to (1) determine the relative forgiveness (RF) of allopurinol with hypothetical and real-life implementation patterns in people with gout, (2) explore the use of RF as a means of identifying suboptimal implementation patterns, (3) assess the impact of suboptimal implementation patterns on clinical outcomes.

Methods: A simulation study was conducted using a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model for allopurinol and serum urate to determine the RF of allopurinol implementation patterns.

The association of prenatal volatile organic compounds exposure and newborn anthropometrics: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Several studies have associated prenatal exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with adverse health outcomes among newborns. However, little is known about the associations of VOCs at relatively low concentrations with newborn outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the potential associations between prenatal exposure to VOCs and VOC mixtures with newborn anthropometric measures.

The influence of wife abuse on women's reproductive choices inSouthern African Countries: Findings from a cross-sectional analysis of demographic and health surveys.

Understanding women's attitudes towards wife abuse and its effects on their reproductive choices is crucial for promoting gender equality in Southern Africa. However, a paucity of research has explored this relationship. Using IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys data from 2011-2018 across eight Southern African nations, we analyzed 17,968 women's attitudes towards wife beating and their reproductive choices through a cross-sectional design and multilevel logistic regression models.
