Background: The Recap of atopic eczema (RECAP) is a patient-reported instrument designed to assess eczema control. There is a lack of evidence on the interpretability of change scores in clinical trials.
Objectives: To calculate the smallest detectable change (SDC) in RECAP and estimate the minimal important change (MIC) for RECAP using various calculation methods in three eczema clinical trial datasets.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the practicality, validity, and responsiveness of the proxy Child Health Utility-9 Dimensions (CHU9D) in children aged 2 to 5 years.
Methods: We used data from the Barrier Enhancement for Eczema Prevention trial, a UK randomized controlled trial testing whether daily emollients in infancy could prevent eczema in high-risk infants. The main parent/carer completed the proxy CHU9D using developers' additional guidance for completion in those younger than 5 years and the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5 years.

The development of methods to detect and treat intracranial large-vessel occlusions (LVOs) has revolutionized the management of acute ischemic stroke. CT angiography (CTA) of the head and neck is effective in depicting LVOs and widely used in the evaluation of patients who have had a stroke. Ongoing efforts are now focused on the potential to detect and treat intracranial medium-vessel occlusions (MeVOs), which by definition are smaller than LVOs and thus more difficult to detect with CTA.

Introduction: There is a "traditional belief" that antidepressant side effect complaints improve with medication persistence; however, support for this theory has remained inconclusive. We aimed to examine if side effect complaints improved over time by modeling the relationship between side effect complaints and time at dropout for patients receiving citalopram during the first level of acute treatment in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial.
Methods: We categorized the 2833 patients into five patterns by week of dropout.
