Objective: To determine the anterior Bolton ratio for a Finnish adult population and to investigate its associations with overjet.
Material And Methods: This study is part of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966. Clinical oral investigations, including three-dimensional intraoral scanning and registration of occlusion, were performed in connection with the 46-year follow-up for 1,961 subjects. Subjects with normal occlusion ( = 149), extreme overjet ≥ 8 mm ( = 49), large overjet 6-7 mm ( = 86), and negative overjet ( = 16) and no orthodontic treatment history were selected for further analysis. The mesiodistal widths were measured from canine to canine to evaluate the anterior Bolton ratio.
Results: A mean anterior Bolton ratio of 78.6 (SD 3.1) was found for the normal occlusion group. Subjects with extreme overjet had smaller Bolton ratios compared to the normal occlusion group and the negative overjet group ( = .005, = .019, respectively). Overjet deviations were associated with upper canine and incisor widths.
Conclusions: The mean anterior Bolton ratio in subjects with normal occlusion was larger compared to the original Bolton ratio. Tooth size discrepancy was associated with extreme and negative overjet at population level.

Outcomes of Age-Friendly Health Systems: Return to Clinic After 4Ms Care Delivery.
Inquiry
January 2025
Case Western Reserve University, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Cleveland, OH, USA.
The Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) movement continues to grow in the United States as more health systems implement the 4Ms framework. Despite this growth, there are relatively few studies that evaluate outcomes related to AFHS implementation. This study assessed patient satisfaction with AFHS by analyzing the rate at which patients returned to the clinic for future health care, serving as a measure of quality.

Medicine, University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Objective: To examine the association between preterm delivery and parental separation and identify associated risk factors.
Methods: All opposite sex, married or common-law parents whose relationship status was available at index delivery and for the next 5 years were eligible in this retrospective population-based cohort study in Manitoba, Canada. Parents of children born preterm were matched 1:5 to parents of children born full-term.
The efficacy of cellulose dressings in burn wound management: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK.
Introduction: Burn wound management is challenging, especially in paediatric patients when optimising outcomes. Superficial burns are generally managed conservatively with dressings; however, frequent dressing changes can be a source of pain and discomfort. Cellulose dressings mitigate these problems, and current reports in the literature have demonstrated positive outcomes when compared against routine dressing types.

National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), Applied Research Collaboration Greater Manchester, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
Objective: Systematically review and critically appraise the evidence for the association between delirium and falls in community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years.
Methods: We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL and Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews databases in April 2023. Standard methods were used to screen, extract data, assess risk of bias (using Newcastle-Ottawa scale), provide a narrative synthesis and, where appropriate, conduct meta-analysis.
The association between medical fitness facility attendance and incident mental disorders.

December 2024
Department of Psychiatry, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Objective: This study examined the effects of medical fitness facility (MFF) attendance, a proxy for exercise, on the incidence of mental disorders.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study linked members at two MFFs in Winnipeg, Canada, to health administrative databases held at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy population research data repository. Adults aged ≥ 18 years were assigned an index date at MFF membership enrollment between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2015, and matched to controls based on propensity score weighting.
