Introduction: The global prevalence of people living with overweight has tripled since 1975 and more than 40% of Danish women enter pregnancy being overweight. With the increasing rates of obesity observed in children, adolescents and adults, there is an urgent need for preventive measures. Risk factors for childhood obesity include maternal overweight or obesity before conception and excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

Purpose: We have established the SAIL MELD-B electronic cohort (e-cohort SMC) and the SAIL MELD-B children and Young adults e-cohort (SMYC) as a part of the Multidisciplinary Ecosystem to study Lifecourse Determinants and Prevention of Early-onset Burdensome Multimorbidity (MELD-B) project. Each cohort has been created to investigate and develop a deeper understanding of the lived experience of the 'burdensomeness' of multimorbidity by identifying new clusters of burdensomeness concepts, exploring early life risk factors of multimorbidity and modelling hypothetical prevention scenarios.

Participants: The SMC and SMYC are longitudinal e-cohorts created from routinely collected individual-level population-scale anonymised data sources available within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank.

Longitudinal patient registries generate important evidence for advancing clinical care and the regulatory evaluation of health-care products. Most national registries rely on data collected as part of routine clinical encounters, an approach that does not capture real-world, patient-centred outcomes, such as physical activity, fatigue, ability to do daily tasks, and other indicators of quality of life. Digital health technologies that obtain such real-world data could greatly enhance patient registries but unresolved challenges have so far prevented their broad adoption.

Background: Children and young people (CYP) with asthma in the UK are at higher risk of poor outcomes compared with other high-income European countries due to factors including poor access to high-quality asthma reviews, diagnostic testing and inconsistent postattack reviews. The Leicester Integrated Care Board funded the first UK pilot asthma hub for CYP, to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of hubs, in providing postattack reviews along with providing asthma education, the opportunity to carry out diagnostic lung function tests and optimise treatment.

Methods: Clinical pilot study including CYP aged 4-17 years referred to the hub with uncontrolled asthma or postattack from November 2021 to April 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with severe asthma often suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), which can worsen symptoms and complicate treatment; this study examines the effects of biologic treatments on quality of life for these patients.
  • The research involved analyzing patient data before and after treatment with biologics (omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, dupilumab) over 12 months, measuring improvements in quality of life indicators.
  • Results showed significant improvements in CRS-related quality of life and asthma control after 3, 6, and 12 months of treatment, particularly with dupilumab, emphasizing the benefit of targeting type 2 inflammation in these patients.
