    Abstract Social scientists have frequently sought to understand the distinct effects of age, period, and cohort, but disaggregation of the three dimensions is difficult because cohort = period - age. We argue that this technical difficulty reflects a disconnection between how cohort effect is conceptualized and how it is modeled in the traditional age-period-cohort framework. We propose a new method, called the age-period-cohort-interaction (APC-I) model, that is qualitatively different from previous methods in that it represents Ryder's (1965) theoretical account about the conditions under which cohort differentiation may arise. This APC-I model does not require problematic statistical assumptions and the interpretation is straightforward. It quantifies inter-cohort deviations from the age and period main effects and also permits hypothesis testing about intra-cohort life-course dynamics. We demonstrate how this new model can be used to examine age, period, and cohort patterns in women's labor force participation.

    Abstract Meta‐regression is widely used in systematic reviews to investigate sources of heterogeneity and the association of study‐level covariates with treatment effectiveness. Existing meta‐regression approaches are successful in adjusting for baseline covariates, which include real study‐level covariates (e.g., publication year) that are invariant within a study and aggregated baseline covariates (e.g., mean age) that differ for each participant but are measured before randomization within a study. However, these methods have several limitations in adjusting for post‐randomization variables. Although post‐randomization variables share a handful of similarities with baseline covariates, they differ in several aspects. First, baseline covariates can be aggregated at the study level presumably because they are assumed to be balanced by the randomization, while post‐randomization variables are not balanced across arms within a study and are commonly aggregated at the arm level. Second, post‐randomization variables may interact dynamically with the primary outcome. Third, unlike baseline covariates, post‐randomization variables are themselves often important outcomes under investigation. In light of these differences, we propose a Bayesian joint meta‐regression approach adjusting for post‐randomization variables. The proposed method simultaneously estimates the treatment effect on the primary outcome and on the post‐randomization variables. It takes into consideration both between‐ and within‐study variability in post‐randomization variables. Studies with missing data in either the primary outcome or the post‐randomization variables are included in the joint model to improve estimation. Our method is evaluated by simulations and a real meta‐analysis of major depression disorder treatments.

    Abstract Objective: This pilot study aims to identify potential predictors of postadmission interventions of hospitalized croup patients and derive a risk model aimed at reducing hospitalizations for croup.
    Methods: Data were collected on all croup hospitalizations for patients aged 1 month to 17 years admitted through a community hospital's emergency department (ED) between 2012 and 2017. Potential predictors were obtained from the electronic medical records including demographics, vital signs, ED length of stay, preintervention and postintervention Westley Croup Score (WCS), number of racemic epinephrine nebulizations administered, time to dexamethasone administration, preexisting conditions, and additional interventions during hospitalization. Statistical analysis used the outcome "patient received racemic epinephrine after hospital admission (yes/no)" to identify characteristics of the child or ED visit associated with that outcome. Preliminary analyses using stepwise logistic regression, tree models, and random forests suggested predictors, interactions among predictors, and the form of their association with the outcome. A final analysis used logistic regression.
    Results: A total of 116 croup admissions were included, of which 19 (16%) received racemic epinephrine posthospitalization. These characteristics were identified as having some predictive power: sex, preexisting conditions, and preintervention and postintervention WCS, along with the interaction between sex and postintervention WCS. Logistic regression estimated an equation describing the probability of postadmission intervention, permitting the choice among admission thresholds giving different sensitivities and specificities.
    Conclusions: There appear to be promising predictors in croup patients presenting to the ED, which might help stratify risk for interventions after the ED encounter and thus reduce the number of potentially avoidable admissions.

    Abstract Noncompliance with assigned treatments is a common challenge in analyzing and interpreting randomized clinical trials (RCTs). One way to handle noncompliance is to estimate the complier-average causal effect (CACE), the intervention's efficacy in the subpopulation that complies with assigned treatment. In a two-step meta-analysis, one could first estimate CACE for each study, then combine them to estimate the population-averaged CACE. However, when some trials do not report noncompliance data, the two-step meta-analysis can be less efficient and potentially biased by excluding these trials. This paper proposes a flexible Bayesian hierarchical CACE framework to simultaneously account for heterogeneous and incomplete noncompliance data in a meta-analysis of RCTs. The models are motivated by and used for a meta-analysis estimating the CACE of epidural analgesia on cesarean section, in which only 10 of 27 trials reported complete noncompliance data. The new analysis includes all 27 studies and the results present new insights on the causal effect after accounting for noncompliance. Compared to the estimated risk difference of 0.8% (95% CI: -0.3%, 1.9%) given by the two-step intention-to-treat meta-analysis, the estimated CACE is 4.1% (95% CrI: -0.3%, 10.5%). We also report simulation studies to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.

    Abstract Objective: Compare effectiveness of two differently formatted training programs in educating night-time postural care implementers.
    Design: Mixed-methods parallel-group double-blind design with random assignment.
    Setting: United States academic institution.
    Participants: Thirty-eight adult caregivers/providers of children with cerebral palsy.
    Interventions: Both 2-hour online programs included content on night-time postural care evidence, risk-factor monitoring, sleep-system types, positioning methods, and assessments. Group A used interactive videos, Group B summary information with web-links.
    Main measures: We measured self-perceived competence via questionnaires (baseline, post-training, post-simulation) containing 4-point rating-scales of knowledge, ability, and confidence and measured positioning ability via a
    Results: Thirty-eight completed training (19 per group). Group A (vs B) showed significantly greater self-perceived competence changes post-training (0.46 points (SE 0.17),
    Conclusion: The sleep care positioning training program (interactive video-based format) is effective in building caregivers' self-perceived competence for night-time postural care. While the lesson was well-received by caregivers and considered a "match [to their] learning style," the lesson did not lead to greater improvement in actual ability to position the "client" compared to control training.

    Abstract Aims: To assess differences in biopsychosocial factors between participants with masticatory myofascial pain with referral (MFPwR), with myalgia without referral (Mw/oR), and community controls without TMDs.
    Methods: Study participants were diagnosed with MFPwR (n = 196), Mw/oR (n = 299), or as a non-TMD community control (n = 87) by two calibrated examiners at each of three study sites. Pain chronicity, pain on palpation of masticatory muscle sites, and pressure pain thresholds (PPT) at 12 masticatory muscle, 2 trigeminal, and 2 nontrigeminal control sites were recorded. Psychosocial factors assessed included anxiety, depression, and nonspecific physical symptoms (Symptom Checklist-90 Revised); stress (Perceived Stress Scale); and health-related quality of life (Short Form Health Survey). Comparisons among the three groups were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, and income using multivariable linear regression. The significance threshold was set at P = .017 (.05 / 3) for subsequent pairwise comparisons.
    Results: Compared to the Mw/oR group, the MFPwR group had significantly greater pain chronicity, number of painful muscle sites, anxiety, depression, nonspecific physical symptoms, and impaired physical health (P < .017). The MFPwR group also had significantly lower PPTs for masticatory sites (P < .017). Both muscle pain groups differed significantly from the non-TMD community control group for all outcome measures (P < .017).
    Conclusion: These findings support the clinical utility of separating MFPwR from Mw/oR. Patients with MFPwR are more complex from a biopsychosocial perspective than Mw/oR patients, which likely affects prognosis and supports consideration of these factors in case management.
