    Abstract Aim: To determine which characteristics of academic leadership are perceived to be necessary for nursing deans to be successful.
    Background: Effective leadership is essential for the continued growth of the discipline.
    Method: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 30 deans (academics in universities who headed a nursing faculty and degree programmes) was conducted in three countries--Canada, England and Australia. The conversations were analysed for leadership attributes.
    Result: Sixty personal and positional attributes were nominated by the participants. Of these, the most frequent attribute was 'having vision'. Personal attributes included: passion, patience, courage, facilitating, sharing and being supportive. Positional attributes included: communication, faculty development, role modelling, good management and promoting nursing.
    Conclusion: Both positional and personal aspects of academic leadership are important to assist in developing a succession plan and education for new deans.
    Implications for nursing management: It is important that talented people are recognised as potential leaders of the future. These future leaders should be given every chance to grow and develop through exposure to opportunities to develop skills and the attributes necessary for effective deanship. Strategic mentoring could prove to be useful in developing and supporting the growth of future deans of nursing.

    Abstract The question addressed by the study: Small airway collapse during expiration, known as expiratory flow limitation (EFL), can be detected using oscillometry and is associated with worse clinical outcomes in COPD. This study investigated the prevalence of EFL in a cohort of highly symptomatic patients, evaluated clinical and lung function characteristics of patients with EFL and studied the repeatability of EFL over 6 months.
    Materials/patients and methods: 70 patients were recruited. Clinical characteristics and lung function metrics were collected at baseline and 6 months. Impulse oscillometry was used to detect the presence of EFL. Patients were defined as EFL
    Results: EFL
    Answer to the question: Overall, these data indicate that EFL

    Abstract Introduction: Outpatient surgery and pediatric ambulatory surgery centers continue to have increasing popularity among pediatric urologist for minor surgeries. Past studies have shown that open renal and bladder surgeries (i.e. nephrectomy, pyeloplasty and ureteral reimplantation) can also be done in an outpatient setting. With health care costs continuing to rise, it may be reasonable to explore performing these surgeries as an outpatient and consider performing them in a pediatric ambulatory surgery center.
    Objective: Our study assesses the safety and utility of outpatient open renal and bladder surgeries in children compared to those done as inpatients.
    Study design: IRB-approved chart review was performed on patients undergoing nephrectomy, ureteral reimplantation, complex ureteral reimplantation, and pyeloplasty by a single pediatric urologist between January 2003-March 2020. Procedures were performed at a freestanding pediatric surgery center (PSC) and a children's hospital (CH). Demographics, type of procedures, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, operative times, time to discharge, ancillary procedures, readmission or ER visits within 72 h were reviewed. Home zip codes were used to determine the distance from pediatric surgery center and children's hospital.
    Results: 980 procedures were evaluated. Of these, 94% procedures were performed as an outpatient and 6% procedures were performed as inpatients. 40% of patients underwent ancillary procedures. Outpatients had a significantly lower age, ASA score, operative time, and readmission or return to ER within 72 h (1.5% vs. 6.2%). Twelve patients were readmitted (9 outpatient, 3 inpatient) and six returned to the ER (5 outpatient, 1 inpatient). 15/18 of these patients underwent reimplantations. Four required early reoperation on postoperative day (POD)2-3. Only one outpatient reimplant was admitted one day later. PSC patients lived farther away.
    Discussion: Outpatient open renal and bladder surgery was found to be safely performed in our patients. In addition, it did not matter whether the operation was done in the children's hospital or pediatric ambulatory surgery center. Since outpatient surgery has been shown to be significantly less expensive than inpatient surgery, it is reasonable for pediatric urologist to consider performing these operations in the outpatient setting.
    Conclusions: Our experience shows that an outpatient approach to open renal and bladder procedures is safe and should be considered when counseling families about treatment options.

    Abstract Introduction: Infant and maternal breastfeeding benefits are well documented, globally. Despite efforts to increase global breastfeeding rates, the majority of high-income settings fall short of recommended targets. Breastfeeding rates in the UK are especially poor, and physiological difficulties (e.g., inverted nipples), fail to account for the observed breastfeeding intention-behaviour gap.
    Method: The current online study sought to investigate the infant feeding experiences of 624 UK formula feeding mothers, through open text survey responses.
    Results: A content analysis identified the following clusters of reasons for formula feeding: Feeding Attitudes, Feeding Problems, Mental Health, and Sharing the Load.
    Discussion: Feeding Attitudes explained a large percentage of reasons given for formula feeding. Recommendations are made to improve antenatal breastfeeding education and to develop an intervention with an aim to improve maternal breastfeeding attitudes and subsequent practice. Feeding Problems also explained a large portion of combination feeding and started but stopped infant feeding accounts. The current paper calls for more comprehensive and tailored antenatal breastfeeding education to refine practical breastfeeding skills necessary for successful breastfeeding establishment and maintenance. Mental Health explained relatively small coverage. Suggestions are therefore made to train mental health practitioners on infant feeding with an aim to provide more extensive support, which may serve to disrupt the bidirectional relationship between poor mental health and poor breastfeeding outcomes. Finally, Sharing the Load explained moderate coverage across never breastfed, combination fed, and started but stopped feeding groups. Recommendations are made, in light of these findings, to tighten workplace legislation to protect breastfeeding women.

    Abstract Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation may have important implications on disparities in liver transplant (LT) evaluation. In this retrospective cohort study, we constructed a novel dataset by linking individual patient-level data with the highly granular Area Deprivation Index (ADI), which is advantageous over other neighborhood measures due to: specificity of Census Block-Group (versus Census Tract, Zip code), scoring, and robust variables. Our cohort included 1377 adults referred to our center for LT evaluation 8/1/2016-12/31/2019. Using modified Poisson regression, we tested for effect measure modification of the association between neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) and LT evaluation outcomes (listing, initiating evaluation, and death) by race and ethnicity. Compared to patients with high nSES, those with low nSES were at higher risk of not being listed (aRR = 1.14; 95%CI 1.05-1.22; p < .001), of not initiating evaluation post-referral (aRR = 1.20; 95%CI 1.01-1.42; p = .03) and of dying without initiating evaluation (aRR = 1.55; 95%CI 1.09-2.2; p = .01). While White patients with low nSES had similar rates of listing compared to White patients with high nSES (aRR = 1.06; 95%CI .96-1.17; p = .25), Underrepresented patients from neighborhoods with low nSES incurred 31% higher risk of not being listed compared to Underrepresented patients from neighborhoods with high nSES (aRR = 1.31; 95%CI 1.12-1.5; p < .001). Interventions addressing neighborhood deprivation may not only benefit patients with low nSES but may address racial and ethnic inequities.

    Abstract Importance: Little is known regarding the effect of poor sleep on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in healthy children.
    Objective: To determine the effect of induced mild sleep deprivation on HRQOL in children without major sleep issues.
    Design, setting, and participants: This prespecified secondary analysis focused on HRQOL, a secondary outcome of the Daily Rest, Eating, and Activity Monitoring (DREAM) randomized crossover trial of children who underwent alternating weeks of sleep restriction and sleep extension and a 1-week washout in between. The DREAM trial intervention was administered at participants' homes between October 2018 and March 2020. Participants were 100 children aged 8 to 12 years who lived in Dunedin, New Zealand; had no underlying medical conditions; and had parent- or guardian-reported normal sleep (8-11 hours/night). Data were analyzed between July 4 and September 1, 2022.
    Interventions: Bedtimes were manipulated to be 1 hour later (sleep restriction) and 1 hour earlier (sleep extension) than usual for 1 week each. Wake times were unchanged.
    Main outcomes and measures: All outcome measures were assessed during both intervention weeks. Sleep timing and duration were assessed using 7-night actigraphy. Children and parents rated the child's sleep disturbances (night) and impairment (day) using the 8-item Pediatric Sleep Disturbance and 8-item Sleep-Related Impairment scales of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System questionnaire. Child-reported HRQOL was assessed using the 27-item KIDSCREEN questionnaire with 5 subscale scores and a total score. Both questionnaires assessed the past 7 days at the end of each intervention week. Data were presented as mean differences and 95% CIs between the sleep restriction and extension weeks and were analyzed using intention to treat and an a priori difference in sleep of at least 30 minutes per night.
    Results: The final sample comprised 100 children (52 girls [52%]; mean [SD] age, 10.3 [1.4] years). During the sleep restriction week, children went to sleep 64 (95% CI, 58-70) minutes later, and sleep offset (wake time) was 18 (95% CI, 13-24) minutes later, meaning that children received 39 (95% CI, 32-46) minutes less of total sleep per night compared with the sleep extension week in which the total sleep time was 71 (95% CI, 64-78) minutes less in the per-protocol sample analysis. Both parents and children reported significantly less sleep disturbance at night but greater sleep impairment during the day with sleep restriction. Significant standardized reductions in physical well-being (standardized mean difference [SMD], -0.28; 95% CI, -0.49 to -0.08), coping in a school environment (SMD, -0.26; 95% CI, -0.42 to -0.09), and total HRQOL score (SMD, -0.21; 95% CI, -0.34 to -0.08) were reported by children during sleep restriction, with an additional reduction in social and peer support (SMD, -0.24; 95% CI, -0.47 to -0.01) in the per-protocol sample analysis.
    Conclusions and relevance: Results of this secondary analysis of the DREAM trial indicated that even 39 minutes less of sleep per night for 1 week significantly reduced several facets of HRQOL in children. This finding shows that ensuring children receive sufficient good-quality sleep is an important child health issue.
