    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the Neuropathic Pain for Post-Surgical Patients (NeuPPS) scale against clinically verified neuropathic pain (NP) by quantitative sensory testing (QST) as well as evaluation of other psychometric properties. The NeuPPS is a validated 5-item scale designed to evaluate NP in surgical populations.
    Methods: Data from 537 women aged >18 years scheduled for primary breast cancer surgery enrolled in a previous study for assessing risk factors for persistent pain after breast cancer treatment were used. Exclusion criteria were any other breast surgery or relevant comorbidity. A total of 448 eligible questionnaires were available at 6 months and 455 at 12 months. At 12 months, 290 patients completed a clinical examination and QST. NeuPPS and PainDETECT were analyzed against patients with and without clinically verified NP. NP was assessed using a standardized QST protocol including a clinical assessment. Furthermore, the NeuPPS and PainDETECT scores were psychometrically tested with an item response theory method, the Rasch analysis, to assess construct validity. Primary outcomes were the diagnostic accuracy measures for the NeuPPS, and secondary measures were psychometric analyses of the NeuPPS after 6 and 12 months. PainDETECT was also compared to clinically verified NP as well as NeuPPS comparing the stability of the estimates.
    Results: Comparing the NeuPPS scores with verified NP using a receiver operating characteristic curve, the NeuPPS had an area under the curve of 0.80. Using a cutoff of 1, the NeuPPS had a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 59%, and using a cutoff of 3, the values were 35 and 96%, respectively. Analysis of the PainDETECT indicated that the used cutoffs may be inappropriate in a surgical population.
    Conclusion: The present study supports the validity of the NeuPPS as a screening tool for NP in a surgical population.

    Abstract Time-limited intersubjective child-psychotherapy (TIC) is an intensive, structured right-brain oriented therapeutic approach for children and caregivers aimed at both symptom reduction and strengthening core developmental processes such as affect integration. This is the first study to investigate changes in internalizing symptoms and affect integration after TIC. Thirty-three children between 9 and 13 years with internalizing difficulties were assessed after 10 h of TIC. Internalizing symptoms were assessed through the child behavior checklist and affect integration with the affect consciousness interview (ACI). Scores from the children with internalizing difficulties were modeled in a mixed linear model along with data from a control group without internalizing difficulties (

    Abstract Aim: To examine possible geographical and temporal differences in the incidence of childhood-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Norway, motivated by previous research indicating relevant environmental factors explaining changing epidemiology.
    Methods: We analysed data from children born in Norway from 2004 to 2012 (n = 541 036) in a registry-based nationwide study. After validating registry diagnoses against medical records, we defined IBD as ≥2 entries of International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes K50, K51 and K52.3 in the Norwegian Patient registry. We estimated hazard ratios (HR) for IBD across four geographical regions with a south-to-north gradient and the incidence by period of birth.
    Results: By the end of follow-up on 31 December 2020, 799 IBD diagnoses were identified (Crohn's disease: n = 465; ulcerative colitis, n = 293, IBD: unclassified, n = 41). Compared to children in the southernmost region, there was almost a two-fold HR for IBD in children in the most Northern region (HR = 1.94, 95% Cl = 1.47-2.57; Mid region: HR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.29-2.19, p
    Conclusion: We observed an increase in the risk of IBD by increasing latitude which may suggest that environmental factors influence the development of IBD, although non-causal explanations cannot be ruled out.
