BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the post-neonatal hospitalization and resulting health care costs are increased among in vitro fertilization (IVF) children up to 7 years of age. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study with linkage to a national hospital discharge register including 303 IVF children, born from 1990 to 1995, and 567 control children (1:2) randomly chosen from the Finnish Medical Birth Register and matched for sex, year of birth, area of residence, parity, maternal age and socioeconomic status. The cost calculations were stratified for singleton (n = 152 vs. n = 285) and twin (n = 103 vs. n = 103) status. Main outcome measures were hospitalizations and societal health care costs. RESULTS: The full-sample and singleton analyses showed that IVF children were significantly more frequently admitted to hospital (mean 1.76 vs. 1.07, P < 0.0001; 1.61 vs. 1.07, P = 0.0004, respectively) and spent significantly more days in the hospital (mean 4.31 vs. 2.61, P < 0.0001; 3.47 vs. 2.56, P = 0.0014, respectively) than control children. No differences were detected between IVF and control twins. The costs of post-neonatal hospital care per child were 2.6-fold for IVF singletons, but 0.7-fold for IVF twins when compared with controls. Cost estimation showed 2.6-fold costs for total IVF population in comparison to general population based controls. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of multiple births increases the utilization of post-neonatal health care services and costs among IVF children in comparison to naturally conceived children. Increased hospitalization and costs were also seen among IVF singletons. 相似文献
Background: The therapeutic relationship is an important factor for good therapy outcomes. The primary mediator of a beneficial therapy relationship is clinician–client interaction. However, few studies identify the observable interactional attributes of good quality relational interactions, e.g. offering the client positive feedback.
Objective: The present paper aims to expand current understanding of relational interaction by analyzing the real-time interactional practices therapists use for offering positive feedback, an important value in occupational therapy.
Methods: The analysis is based on the conversation analysis of 15 video-recorded occupational therapy encounters in psychiatric outpatient clinics.
Results: Two types of positive feedback were identified. In aligning feedback, therapists encouraged and complimented clients’ positive perspectives on their own achievements in adopting certain behaviour, encouraging and supporting their progress. In redirecting feedback, therapists shifted the perspective from clients’ negative experiences to their positive experiences. This shift was interactionally successful if they laid the foundation for the shift in perspective and attuned their expressions to the clients’ emotional states.
Conclusions: Occupational therapists routinely provide their clients with positive feedback. Awareness of the interactional attributes related to positive feedback is critically important for successful relational interaction. 相似文献
Three human protoparvoviruses, bufavirus (BuV), tusavirus (TuV) and cutavirus (CuV), have recently been discovered in diarrheal stool. BuV has been associated with diarrhea and CuV with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, but there are hardly any data for TuV or CuV in stool or respiratory samples. Hence, using qPCR and IgG enzyme immunoassays, we analyzed 1072 stool, 316 respiratory and 445 serum or plasma samples from 1098 patients with and without gastroenteritis (GE) or respiratory-tract infections (RTI) from Finland, Latvia and Malawi. The overall CuV-DNA prevalences in stool samples ranged between 0–6.1% among our six patient cohorts. In Finland, CuV DNA was significantly more prevalent in GE patients above rather than below 60 years of age (5.1% vs 0.2%). CuV DNA was more prevalent in stools among Latvian and Malawian children compared with Finnish children. In 10/11 CuV DNA-positive adults and 4/6 CuV DNA-positive children with GE, no known causal pathogens were detected. Interestingly, for the first time, CuV DNA was observed in two nasopharyngeal aspirates from children with RTI and the rare TuV in diarrheal stools of two adults. Our results provide new insights on the occurrence of human protoparvoviruses in GE and RTI in different countries. 相似文献
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The present study quantified the prevalence of families that fulfill the Amsterdam or Bethesda criteria for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) in the whole Swedish population and investigated the extent to which tumors in the classified families are HNPCC-related. METHODS: The families of the Swedish Family-Cancer Database with at least 4 generations (N = 566,877) were classified according to the Amsterdam and the Bethesda criteria. Survival methods were used to assess the risk of cancer in the classified families, the prognosis of cancer patients, and the risk of subsequent malignancies after colorectal adenomas and after colorectal/endometrial adenocarcinomas. RESULTS: The Bethesda criteria identified 0.9% of all Swedish families and 11.2% of patients with colorectal cancer. Families that fulfilled the Bethesda criteria showed increased risks of cancer in the colorectum, endometrium, small bowel, ovary, stomach, bile ducts, renal pelvis, and ureter; members of Bethesda criteria families were at decreased risks of lung and cervical cancers. The prognosis of cancer in the ureter, renal pelvis, stomach, ovary, and colorectum, but not in the endometrium, was better in Bethesda criteria than in nonclassified families. CONCLUSIONS: Most malignancies in the classified families reflect typical features of HNPCC (association with subsequent malignancies, accelerated adenoma-carcinoma sequence, and better survival). The data presented in this study should help to define surveillance strategies for members of families that fulfill the criteria for HNPCC testing. 相似文献
