This secondary analysis examined the impact of respondent-level factors on scores on the Supports Intensity Scale-Adult Version (SIS-A) to determine if there were patterns of differences in SIS-A scores based on the number of respondents and the pairings of respondents that were included in SIS-A interviews. Results indicated that having fewer respondents led to a greater variability in SIS-A scores whereas having more respondents led to higher mean, overall support need scores. When respondents included an adult with intellectual disability (ID) the mean score was significantly lower. However, there were complex influences of pairing an adult with ID with either a professional or family member on SIS-A scores. Implications for administering and using the SIS-A are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- - Patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) face a higher risk of infections, especially those treated with ocrelizumab (OCR), as shown in a study involving 6,155 patients over a median period of 3.7 years.
- - Serious infections (SIs) were reported at an incidence rate of 1.50 per 100 patient years for relapsing MS and 3.70 for progressive MS, with lower respiratory, urinary, abdominal, gastrointestinal, and skin infections being the most common.
- - Significant risk factors for SIs included comorbidities, recent relapses, and higher disability scores, particularly in patients with progressive MS where a high EDSS score indicated a fourfold increase in
Prognostic value of systemic inflammation score in patients with esophageal cancer.

Introduction: The systemic inflammatory score (SIS), a new inflammatory marker based on a combination of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and serum albumin concentration, has been reported to be a useful prognostic marker for several malignancies. The authors conducted this retrospective study on data from a cohort of esophageal cancer patients undergoing potentially curative resection to clarify the value of SIS as a prognostic marker for clinical outcome in this population.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 32 patients who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal cancer between January 2016 and December 2019.

Article Synopsis
- Many U.S. states use the Supports Intensity Scale-Adult Version (SIS-A) to determine funding for long-term services and supports.
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, states switched to virtual SIS-A assessments, raising concerns about how this change might affect scores and funding.
- The study found that while the method of assessment (in-person vs. virtual) did influence SIS-A scores, the overall impact was found to be minimal and not practically significant.

Purpose: We examined the unidimensionality and Rasch reliability of both Jenkinson's and MacIsaac's eight-item short versions of the Stroke Impact Scale (SF-SIS), a questionnaire for assessing overall health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis in which 263 persons with stroke completed the SIS. The 263 persons, on average, had age of 60 years, mild stroke, and moderate disability of self-care.
