Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has become a major medical and financial burden in China along with the rest of the world. There have been considerable advances in the understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of AKI. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal care for patients. The Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) 19 meeting focused on identifying and designing relevant and achievable AKI-related studies in China.
Materials & Methods: The working group developed a list of preliminary questions and objectives and performed analysis of the existing literature. Relevant studies were identified through a literature search using the MEDLINE database and bibliographies of relevant research and review articles. We then used a two-step Delphi process to prioritize a research agenda and proposed specific study designs to address unmet needs.
Results: Important gaps in existing knowledge were identified and pragmatic studies were proposed in three distinct areas: care bundles for AKI prevention, renal replacement therapy (RRT) for AKI, and fluid management. In addition, the use of biomarkers to guide clinical trials was discussed.
Conclusions: Consensus was reached on a research agenda for AKI with a specific focus on pragmatic trials in China.

Clinical outcomes from blended care therapy for anxiety and depression in the year after treatment.
Internet Interv
March 2025
Lyra Health, 270 East Lane Burlingame, CA 94010, United States of America.
Background: Scalable evidence-based treatments for anxiety and depression, such as blended care therapy (BCT) that integrate digital tools are effective, but reporting on long-term outcomes is limited.
Method: This pragmatic observational study examined the symptom stability and trajectories of individuals in the year following engagement in a BCT program. Participants included adults with clinical anxiety and/or depression measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) or Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).
Pragmatic performance, its relationship with symptom severity, and early clinical predictors of pragmatics in 5 ~ 6-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder.

Child Mental Health Research Center, Nanjing Brain Hospital affiliated with Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing GuangZhou Road 264#, Nanjing, 210029, China.
Background: Pragmatic language refers to using spoken language to convey messages effectively across diverse social communication contexts. However, minimal longitudinal research has focused on defining early predictors of pragmatic development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Methods: In the present study, 71 children with ASD and 38 age- and gender- matched 24- to 30-month-old typically developing (TD) children were enrolled.
Evaluating the implementation and impact of a volunteer navigation oncology support programme: study protocol for a pragmatic, real-world hybrid type 2 study.
BMJ Open

American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Introduction: Patient navigation is recommended by accrediting bodies such as the Commission on Cancer and is a key element in payment reform demonstration projects, due to the established benefits in reducing barriers to healthcare, improving care coordination and reducing healthcare utilisation. However, oncology practices are often resource constrained and lack the capacity to extend navigation services at the desired intensity for their patient population. The American Cancer Society (ACS) developed the ACS Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support (CARES) programme to expand navigation capacity through the training of students from local universities as volunteers to serve as non-clinical navigators to support cancer patients.

Background: Depression alongside multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) in older adults poses a critical public health challenge, worsening physical and mental health and increasing healthcare costs. COVID-19 restrictions further exacerbated these impacts. Behavioural activation (BA) shows promise as a remote intervention for depression during isolation, but its cost-effectiveness for depressed, socially isolated older adults remains uncertain.
