Is pull-through an acceptable replacement of low anterior resection for rectal cancers in low-income setting? A case-control study

AbstractPeople with epilepsy (PWE) have an increased suicide prevalence. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for suicidal tendency among PWE in West China. A nested case–control study was designed in a cohort of patients with epilepsy (n = 2087). In total, 28 variates were calculated. In the univariate analysis, unemployment, low income, seizure frequency, seizure-free time, infectious or structural etiology, levetiracetam or phenobarbital use, anxiety, depression, and stigma were associated with suicidal tendency. A multivariate analysis indicated that unemployment (odds ratio [OR] 5.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.13–15.48), levetiracetam use (OR 2.80, 95%CI 1.11–7.05), depression (C-NDDI-E score ≥ 13; OR 3.21, 95%CI 1.26–8.21), and stigma (SSCI score ≥ 16; OR 6.67, 95%CI 1.80–24.69) were independently associated with suicidal tendency. Conditional inference tree analysis indicated that SSCI and C-NDDI-E scores could effectively identify patients with suicidal tendency. Thus, this study suggests that unemployment, levetiracetam use, depression, and stigma are independent risk factors for suicidal tendency in PWE in China.

Abstract Introduction Children are disproportionately represented as victims of burn injury compared to adults. Life-long sequelae post-burn manifest as increased rates of mental and physical illness, substance abuse, and suicide. Social determinants of health (SDoH) influence risk of injury, however the extent and influence of SDoH on burn injury is less clear. To determine which social determinants influence burn injury in children, a retrospective case-control study was conducted. Methods Children (< 17 years of age) admitted to a regional burn centre between January 1 1999 and March 30 2017 were matched based on age, sex and geographic location 1:5 with an uninjured cohort. Population level administrative data describing the SDoH, at the regional administrative multifaceted data repository were compared between the cohorts. Thirteen SDoH were chosen based on a systematic review conducted by the research team. Results No significant differences existed in descriptive statistics between the burn and control cohorts. Mean age at burn injury = 5.46 (± 5.23), average TBSA (%) = 10.5 (± 13.4). The most common mechanism of burn injury was scald (42.03%) Upon multivariable logistic regression, children: from a low-income household (O.R. 1.97 (1.46, 2.65)); in foster care (O.R. 1.57 (1.11, 2.21)); from a family that received income assistance (O.R. 1.71 (1.33, 2.19)); or born to a teen mother (O.R. 1.43 (1.13, 1.81)) were associated with an increased risk of burn injury. Conclusions This study identified SDoH associated with an increased risk of burn injury. This case-control study supports the finding that children from a low-income household, children in care, from a family that received income assistance, and children born to a teen mother are at an elevated risk of burn injury. Applicability of Research to Practice Identifying children at increased potential risk provides an opportunity to prevent burn injuries, bypassing the associated long-term physical disfigurement, life-long mental health consequences and mortality. This study also has merit in maximizing the efficiency of a burn prevention budget through targeted burn safety and risk reduction programs.

Abstract Social determinants of health (SDoH) influence risk of injury. We conducted a population-based, case–control study to identify which social determinants influence burn injury in children. Children (≤16 years of age) admitted to a Canadian regional burn center between January 1, 1999 and March 30, 2017 were matched based on age, sex, and geographic location 1:5 with an uninjured control cohort from the general population. Population-level administrative data describing the SDoH at the Manitoba Center for Health Policy (MCHP) were compared between the cohorts. Specific SDoH were chosen based on a published systematic review conducted by the research team. In the final multivariable model, children from a low-income household odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) 1.97 (1.46, 2.65), in care 1.57 (1.11, 2.21), from a family that received income assistance 1.71 (1.33, 2.19) and born to a teen mother 1.43 (1.13, 1.81) were significantly associated with an increased risk of pediatric burn injury. This study identified SDoH that are associated with an increased risk of burn injury. This case–control study supports the finding that children from a low-income household, children in care, from a family that received income assistance, and children born to a teen mother are at an elevated risk of burn injury. Identifying children at increased potential risk allows targeting of burn risk reduction and home safety programs.

The birth weight of newborn is an indicator that reflects maternal health conditions and the healthcare quality delivered during pregnancy. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between maternal consumption of cigarette during pregnancy and Low Birth Weight (LBW) in the Northeast of Brazil. Case-control study with the group of cases composed of 402 mothers with newborns with a birth weight <2,500 grams, and control composed of 1,210 mothers with newborns with weight ≥2,500 grams. Data were collected based on self-reported information by mothers and complemented with hospital records. Simple linear regression and logistic regression models were conducted. Majority of women were brown/ black, married, of low income and almost half of them had less than nine years of education. The consumption of 10 or more cigarettes a day was associated with LBW. For each cigarette added to the daily cigarette consumption there was a reduction of 18.6 grams in birth weight. Among mothers who smoked more than ten cigarettes per day, the mean reduction in birth weight was 283.1 grams. This study reinforces that LBW is associated with the maternal consumption of cigarettes.
