Purpose: Investigating associations between group-based medical mistrust (GBMM) and perceptions of patient-provider encounters can identify one mechanism through which GBMM may influence health outcomes and serve as a barrier to equitable health care. This study investigated associations between GBMM reported by caregivers of children with a possible genetic condition and caregivers' and providers' perceptions of a specialty care appointment discussing diagnostic plans.

Methods: Caregivers (N = 177) completed the GBMM scale and other measures before their child's initial specialty clinic visit. After the visit, caregivers reported their perceptions of the visit, including patient centeredness and satisfaction with care. Providers (N = 6) reported their perceptions of patient engagement.

Results: Multivariable linear regression showed that higher caregiver GBMM was associated with caregivers' lower satisfaction with care (P < .01) and more negative perceptions of every domain of patient centeredness (P = .001-.04). Multilevel modeling showed that higher caregiver GBMM was associated with more negative provider perceptions of caregivers' preparedness to participate in care (P = .03), likely treatment compliance (P = .03), and relevance of questions asked during visit (P = .04).

Conclusion: Our findings extend evidence for detrimental effects of GBMM on patient satisfaction to caregivers of pediatric patients and offer new evidence for associations with health care providers' perceptions of caregivers' engagement with care.

Pharmacogenetic studies involving Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1), Latrophilin-3 (LPHN3), and Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) revealed individual differences regarding therapeutic response in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) under methylphenidate (MPH) treatment. This study aimed to evaluate MPH's association with the adverse effect status in children and its relationship with CES1, LPHN3, and COMT in the Turkish population. The study included 102 children and adolescents with ADHD, who were categorized as responders, or the adverse effect group based on their treatment response.

Profiles of 71 Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Novel Sub-Clusters of Type I Milk: Results from the Ulm SPATZ Health Study.

Nutrients

January 2025

Pediatric Epidemiology, Department of Pediatrics, Medical Faculty, Leipzig University, Liebigstr 20a, Haus 6, 04103 Leipzig, Germany.

Background/objectives: Although approximately 160 human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have been identified, current studies on HMO quantitation are limited to the 10-19 most abundant HMOs. We assessed the variations in the relative concentrations of 71 HMO structures over lactation in human milk samples by an advanced liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry approach.

Methods: Samples were collected from 64 mothers at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months of lactation in the Ulm SPATZ Health Study, a German birth cohort.
