Abstract

Background\ud Dentists are high prescribers of antibiotics for both treatment and prevention of infection, although there are few guidelines to aid clinicians. Given the worldwide concerns about unnecessary use of antibiotics, there is a need for a better understanding of dentists’ use of these drugs for antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) to prevent distant site infections (i.e., infective endocarditis and prosthetic joint infection).\ud \ud Objective\ud The aim of this study was to develop and implement an effective, self-reporting, cross-sectional, survey instrument that optimized the response rate and maximized reliability and validity for determining the beliefs and behaviors of a large and nationally representative group of generalist and specialist dentists concerning their use of AP.\ud \ud Study Design\ud A 15-question survey (58 items) was developed in a structured process by a multidisciplinary team and configured for automated online dissemination to 3584 national Dental Practice-Based Research Network (DPBRN; hitherto referred to as “Network”) practitioners. The implementation phase consisted of 3 waves of greater than 1000 Network members. Additionally, 47 randomly selected dentists were surveyed twice to assess test–retest reliability.\ud \ud Results\ud Of 3584 eligible Network members, 2169 (60.5%) completed the survey. The age and geographic distributions of responders was similar to those of dentists in the 2019 American Dental Association census. Furthermore, test–retest weighted kappa values for the survey were acceptable (median 0.56; interquartile range 0.42–0.64).\ud \ud Conclusions\ud We developed a highly structured survey with a high response rate and good reliability that will allow us to obtain unique data on dentists’ beliefs and practices regarding AP prescribing.

Abstract

Background Evidence about the impact of marital status before hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) on outcomes after HCT is conflicting. Methods We identified patients 40 years of age and older within the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry who underwent HCT between January 2008 and December 2015. Marital status before HCT was declared as one of: married or living with a partner, single (never married), separated or divorced, and widowed. We performed a multivariable analysis to determine the association of marital status with outcomes after HCT. Results We identified 10,226 allogeneic and 5714 autologous HCT cases with, respectively, a median follow-up of 37 months (range: 1-102 months) and 40 months (range: 1-106 months). No association between marital status and overall survival was observed in either the allogeneic (p = 0.58) or autologous (p = 0.17) setting. However, marital status was associated with grades 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), p < 0.001, and chronic GVHD, p = 0.04. The risk of grades 2-4 acute GVHD was increased in separated compared with married patients [hazard ratio (FIR): 1.13; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03 to 1.24], and single patients had a reduced risk of grades 2-4 acute GVHD (FIR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.77 to 0.98). The risk of chronic GVHD was lower in widowed compared with married patients (FIR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.99). Conclusions Overall survival after HCT is not influenced by marital status, but associations were evident between marital status and grades 2-4 acute and chronic GVHD. To better appreciate the effects of marital status and social support, future research should consider using validated scales to measure social support and patient and caregiver reports of caregiver commitment, and to assess health-related quality of life together with health care utilization.

Abstract

Background Rates of dementia and cognitive impairment in Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations are 3‐5 times higher than in the overall population. In addition, under‐detection of these conditions has been consistently confirmed, particularly in primary care. A national co‐design project called the Let’s CHAT (Community Health Approach To) Dementia aims to optimise detection rates and management of dementia and cognitive impairment in Indigenous primary care contexts. This will occur through the co‐development of a model of care, and outcome measures include data profiling the dementia risk of older Indigenous persons and current management of patients with confirmed or suspected cognitive impairment or dementia Method Six‐monthly medical record audits of patients aged 50 and over recording: basic demographic information, presence of dementia risk factors, current care practices in relation to dementia and co‐morbid conditions of ageing. Result Audits were conducted on patients (n=1675) in 12 primary health services across Australia. The mean age of patients was 60.3 (8.3). The top ten risk factors documented overall were: hypertension (50.9%), polypharmacy (46.7%), current smoking (43%), diabetes (42.9%), dyslipidaemia (41.1%), obesity (35%), depression (30%), mental health concerns (25.9%) cardiovascular disease (25.6.%) and low physical activity (19.1%), but there was some inter‐service variation in risk factor profiles. Documented evidence of health service assessment for, and investigation of, cognitive impairment was limited. Use and type of diagnostic tools varied widely between services (e.g. MMSE used with 0.6%‐45.9% of sample, KICA (culturally appropriate cognitive assessment tool) used with 0.0%‐5.0% of sample). Diagnoses of dementia and cognitive impairment (combined = 3.8%) are well below known prevalence rates in these populations (∼20%), although there is variation from service to service (range = 0.8% ‐8.9%).
