The System of National Databases of Ethnic Minorities and Ethnic Policies (System) is recognized as one of most important means for governance and management in ethnic minority’s field of Vietnam State. The task of building this System now was put down in a direction of government and is going on first stage of design and development of database framework. One among main requirement for the System is that ability to provide fullest and adequate data and information to requests from users from various organizations of state management. As mentioned in the first draft of this design in the national-wide conference that recently hold in Hanoi (Aug-2017), one of the critical point of the design and development of databases of this system is to build “smart” searching engine based on semantic technology. It can retrieve those information on ethnic minorities and ethnic minority’s area that relevant together in term of providing users any relevant information based on only one unique query. This paper is aiming to introduce some techniques with illustrative examples that suitable for the idea of building this smart engine.

Objective: Oronasal fistula (ONF) is a known complication after primary palatoplasty (PP). Studies investigating the effect of perioperative antibiotics on fistula rates after PP are limited by inadequate sample size or reliance on self-reporting through national databases. In this study, the authors evaluated the association between single-dose perioperative antibiotics and postoperative fistula rates after PP at a single institution. Design: A retrospective study. Participants: Children younger than 2 years who underwent PP from April 2009 to September 2019 were included. Interventions: Patients were divided into 2 categories: Group 1 received a single intraoperative dose of IV antibiotic, while group 2 did not. Main Outcome Measure(s): Outcome measures included ONF formation, length of stay (LOS), and 30-day readmission rates. Multivariable firth logistic regression, quantile regression, and χ2 tests were performed. Results: Of the 424 patients, 215 and 209 patients were in groups 1 and 2, respectively. The overall ONF rate was 1.9% among all patients. Patients in group 1 experienced an ONF rate of 3.3%, while patients in group 2 had an ONF rate of 0.5%. After correcting for confounding variables, the difference in ONF rates was not statistically different ( P = .68). Median LOS was 35.7 hours and 35.5 hours ( P = .17), while the rate of readmission within 30 days was 4.7% and 2.4% for group 1 and 2, respectively ( P = .96). Conclusions: Administration of a single-dose perioperative antibiotic did not decrease fistula formation after PP, nor did it affect the patient’s LOS or 30-day readmission rate.

Abstract Background A recent meta-analysis showed that specific organizational arrangements may decrease the risk of lower extremity amputations among subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) affected by foot ulcers (DFU). We aim to translate these results into algorithms to extract cohorts from routine data from the Scottish Diabetes Register (SCI-Diabetes). We used models to estimate the actual effectiveness of different practices and discuss transferability of the approach to other contexts e.g. the English database of general practitioners. Methods A multidisciplinary team mapped the Scottish database to the outputs of meta-analysis, adopting the standard set for diabetes of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement. Algorithms extracted a standardized retrospective cohort for 2016-2019. Records up to 5 years before first entry into the cohort were used for case-mix. Proportional hazards were used for multivariate modelling. Results were expressed in terms of hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results In 2016-2019, a total of 275,386 adults with T2D were registered in SCI-diabetes. Among them, 1,843 (0.66%) had an amputation, of which 777(42%) had a previous DFU diagnosis. We applied the criteria derived from meta-analysis and the definitions of the diabetes standard set to calculate columns included in the case-mix for predictive modelling. The refinement of multivariate models is still in progress and all adjusted hazard ratios will be included in the revised version of this abstract to be presented at the Conference. Conclusions Epidemiological evidence on diabetes care can be directly translated into algorithms for extracting dynamic cohorts from high quality diabetes registers. Results can be generalised to different types of national databases, adjusting for the heterogeneous dataset structures. Key messages Sets of criteria and definitions adopted for the conduction of meta-analyses can be translated into algorithms to extract cohorts and test models of real-world evidence from routine national databases. The Scottish Diabetes Register was successfully used to confirm the effectiveness of organizational arrangements in diabetes in normal practice.

AbstractIn the late 1980s The Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) was established by recruiting young twins and multiples at birth and by approaching adolescent and young adult twins through city councils. The Adult NTR (ANTR) includes twins, their parents, siblings, spouses and their adult offspring. The number of participants in the ANTR who take part in survey and / or laboratory studies is over 22,000 subjects. A special group of participants consists of sisters who are mothers of twins. In the Young NTR (YNTR), data on more than 50,000 young twins have been collected. Currently we are extending the YNTR by including siblings of twins. Participants in YNTR and ANTR have been phenotyped every 2 to 3 years in longitudinal survey studies, since 1986 and 1991 for the YNTR and ANTR, respectively. The resulting large population-based datasets are used for genetic epidemiological studies and also, for example, to advance phenotyping through the development of new syndrome scales based on existing items from other inventories. New research developments further include brain imaging studies in selected and unselected groups, clinical assessment of psychopathology through interviews, and cross-referencing the NTR database to other national databases. A large biobank enterprise is ongoing in the ANTR in which blood and urine samples are collected for genotyping, expression analysis, and meta-bolomics studies. In this paper we give an update on the YNTR and ANTR phenotyping and on the ongoing ANTR biobank studies.

PurposeThis study investigates an approach to book metrics for research evaluation that takes into account the complexity of scholarly monographs. This approach is based on work sets – unique scholarly works and their within-work related bibliographic entities – for scholarly monographs in national databases for research output.Design/methodology/approachThis study examines bibliographic records on scholarly monographs acquired from four European databases (VABB in Flanders, Belgium; CROSBI in Croatia; CRISTIN in Norway; COBISS in Slovenia). Following a data enrichment process using metadata from OCLC WorldCat and Amazon Goodreads, the authors identify work sets and the corresponding ISBNs. Next, on the basis of the number of ISBNs per work set and the presence in WorldCat, they design a typology of scholarly monographs: Globally visible single-expression works, Globally visible multi-expression works, Miscellaneous and Globally invisible works.FindingsThe findings show that the concept “work set” and the proposed typology can aid the identification of influential scholarly monographs in the social sciences and humanities (i.e. the Globally visible multi-expression works).Practical implicationsIn light of the findings, the authors outline requirements for the bibliographic control of scholarly monographs in national databases for research output that facilitate the use of the approach proposed here.Originality/valueThe authors use insights from library and information science (LIS) to construct complexity-sensitive book metrics. In doing so, the authors, on the one hand, propose a solution to a problem in research evaluation and, on the other hand, bring to attention the need for a dialogue between LIS and neighbouring communities that work with bibliographic data.

Purpose: To provide an updated and comparative analysis of injury-related falls from bicycles, skateboards, roller skates and non-motorized scooters.Methods: The study uses two national databases – the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample and the Nationwide Inpatient Sample  – and subnational databases for New York, California, and Maryland.  Univariate and multivariate analyses (negative binomial regression) are performed to identify effects of age, gender, racial-ethnic background, and region on the incidence of injury-related falls from each of the four devices.Results: The rate of injuries due to falls from bicycles far surpasses the rates due to falls from the other devices.  When a measure of “exposure” is taken into consideration, however, the rate of injuries from skateboards outstrips the rates from bicycles or roller skates.  The profile of patients who are injured from falls from each of the four devices is distinctive.  Asian-Americans are greatly underrepresented among those who suffer a fall-related injury from any of the four devices.  The incidence of injuries attributable to falls varies considerably by geographic region.Conclusions: Public health officials need to be mindful that while certain activities such as scootering might be gaining in popularity, the number of injuries sustained from bicycles still dwarfs the number attributable to falls from skateboards, roller skates, and scooters combined.  Thus special attention needs to be paid to both prevent falls from bicycles and specific treatment modalities.  It is important for public health officials to gather injury data at the local level to allocate prevention and treatment resources more efficiently.
