Objective: To determine the consequences of disregarding first-degree relatives with psoriasis (FRP) as a classification criterion in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Methods: Criteria were examined in children from a prospective cohort with unclassified and psoriatic JIA.

Results: FRP was the most common reason children were unclassified (57/85, 67%); all 57 children could be classified if FRP were disregarded as an exclusion criterion. FRP was a necessary inclusion criterion to classify 11/77 (14.3%) children with psoriatic JIA.

Conclusion: Eliminating FRP as an exclusion criterion, but keeping it as an inclusion criterion in psoriatic JIA simplifies classification, though it is unclear whether the resulting classification would be better.

Optimizing Exclusion Criteria for Clinical Trials of Persistent Lyme Disease Using Real-World Data.

Healthcare (Basel)

December 2024

Union Square Medical Associates, 595 Buckingham Way, Suite 350, San Francisco, CA 94132, USA.

Background/objectives: Although eligibility criteria for clinical trials significantly impact study outcomes, these criteria are often established without scientific justification, leading to delayed recruitment, small sample sizes, and limited study generalizability. Persistent Lyme disease (PLD) presents unique challenges due to symptom variability, inconsistent treatment responses, and the lack of reliable biomarkers, underscoring the need for scientifically justified eligibility criteria.

Objective: This study examines the effects of commonly used enrollment criteria on sample yield in PLD clinical trials using real-world data (RWD) from the MyLymeData patient registry.

Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is essential for improving survival and reducing mortality and recurrence rates in breast cancer (BrCa) patients. However, the adherence to AET among BrCa patients is poor, and there is no scale to measure adherence to AET or the reasons for non-adherence among BrCa patients in mainland China. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the simple Chinese version of the Medication Adherence Reasons (MAR) scale in BrCa patients undergoing AET.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the impact of short stress-coping interventions (cardiac biofeedback, mindfulness, and positive psychology) on the OSCE performance of medical students.
  • Despite no significant improvement in academic scores for any intervention group compared to the control, students reported a more positive perception of their performance after the interventions.
  • Conclusively, these brief interventions did not enhance students' actual academic performance during the OSCE, though they influenced their self-assessment.
