    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of every role within the interdisciplinary team and has exacerbated the challenges posed to every member. From the nursing perspective, many of these challenges were present before the pandemic but have become significantly larger problems that continue to demand global attention. This has provided an opportunity to critically evaluate and learn from the challenges the pandemic has both highlighted and created. We conclude that the nursing infrastructure requires a revolution in order to support, grow and retain nurses, who are vital to the delivery of high-quality healthcare.

    Abstract Hurlburt (2018) states that Brouwers et al. (2018) find a much lower frequency of reported inner speech while reading than we find in Moore and Schwitzgebel (2018), and he attributes the difference to methodological shortcomings in Moore and Schwitzgebel's method. However, the method in Brouwers et al. has complementary shortcomings, and an apples-to-apples comparison of the data between the two studies shows a considerably smaller difference in results than the top-line percentages that Hurlburt emphasizes.

    Abstract What do people consciously experience when they read? There has been almost no rigorous research on this question, and opinions diverge radically among both philosophers and psychologists. We describe three studies of the phenomenology of reading and its relationship to memory of textual detail and general cognitive abilities. We find three main results. First, there is substantial variability in reports about reading experience, both within and between participants. Second, reported reading experience varies with passage type: passages with dialogue prompted increased reports of inner speech, while passages with vivid visual detail prompted increased reports of visual imagery. Third, reports of visual imagery experiences, inner speech experiences, and experiences of conscious visual perception of the words on the page were at best weakly related to general cognitive abilities and memory of visual and auditory details.

    Abstract Patient safety during pregnancy is an important concern. This article presents a method of using an industry safety database to access prospective pregnancy cases. This method, termed here 'PRegnancy outcomes Intensive Monitoring' (PRIM) was developed for fingolimod (Gilenya ™), a treatment option for multiple sclerosis (MS), due to slow enrollment in the company pregnancy registry. The aim of PRIM was to enhance the process of pregnancy data collection and improve data quality, and in particular to enable estimation of the proportion of major congenital malformation and other pregnancy outcomes. To do this, the spontaneous reports of maternal exposure to fingolimod in pregnancy or in the eight weeks immediately before the last menstrual period of patients not enrolled in the pregnancy registry were identified. Follow up checklists were sent at four time points: initial pregnancy report, end of pregnancy, infant attained 3 and 12 months of age. These focused on core data required for derivation of programmed analyses. From 01 Mar 2014 to 28 Feb 2018, a total of 831 prospective maternal exposures with 843 infants were reported, with fetal outcomes reported in 459/843 (54.4 %) of those infants. This enabled the calculation of proportions of pregnancy cases with the main pregnancy outcomes and of fetal cases with malformation. The number of reported pregnancies was significantly higher in PRIM than in the registry, showing that structured use of pharmacovigilance data enables speedier assessment of risks of maternal drug exposure.

    Abstract Background: Motor neurone disease (MND) places a significant burden on patients, their carers, and healthcare systems.
    Objectives: To estimate health utilities and costs of MND within the UK setting.
    Methods: Patients with MND, recruited via 22 regional clinics, completed a postal questionnaire of a cost and quality-of-life survey. Health outcome assessment included the EuroQoL (EQ)-5D-5L, EQ-5D-visual analogue scale, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Utility Index, and the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised. Clinical staging was based on the Kings and Milano-Torino (MiToS) systems. The questionnaire asked about patients' use of primary, secondary, and community care services in the previous 3 months. Variability in total costs was examined using regression models.
    Results: 595 patients were included in the health utility analysis, of whom 584 patients also completed a resource use questionnaire. Mean health utility decreased and costs increased between consecutive Kings stages, from 0.76 (95% CI 0.71-0.80) and £1096 (£757-£1240) in Kings stage 1, to 0.50 (0.45-0.54) and £3311 (£2666-£4151) in stage 4, respectively. The changes by MiToS stages were from 0.71 (0.69-0.73) and £1115 (£937-£1130) in MiToS stage 0, to 0.25 (0.07-0.42) and £2899 (£2190-£3840) in stage 2. Kings stages 3 and 4 and MiToS stages 1 and 2, respectively, were significant in explaining variability in total costs.
    Conclusions: The impact of MND on health utilities and costs differs by disease severity. The data provided here can be used in cost-effectiveness analyses and to inform decision-making regarding healthcare provision for people with MND.

    Abstract Identifying critical habitat for highly mobile species such as sharks is difficult, but essential for effective management and conservation. In regions where baseline data are lacking, non-traditional data sources have the potential to increase observational capacity for species distribution and habitat studies. In this study, a research and education organization conducted a 5-year (2013-2018) survey of shark populations in the coastal waters of west-central Florida, an area where a diverse shark assemblage has been observed but no formal population analyses have been conducted. The objectives of this study were to use boosted regression tree (BRT) modeling to quantify environmental factors impacting the distribution of the shark assemblage, create species distribution maps from the model outputs, and identify spatially explicit hot spots of high shark abundance. A total of 1036 sharks were captured, encompassing eleven species. Abundance hot spots for four species and for immature sharks (collectively) were most often located in areas designated as "No Internal Combustion Engine" zones and seagrass bottom cover, suggesting these environments may be fostering more diverse and abundant populations. The BRT models were fitted for immature sharks and five species where

  9. Article ; Online: Mapping ALSFRS-R and ALSUI to EQ-5D in Patients with Motor Neuron Disease.

    Abstract Background: The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) is the preferred measure of health outcome in clinical trials in motor neuron disease (MND). It, however, does not provide a preference-based health utility score required for estimating quality-adjusted life-years in economic evaluations for health technology assessments.
    Objectives: To develop algorithms for mapping from measures used in MND clinical studies to allow for future prediction of the five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) utility in populations of patients with MND when utility data have not been collected.
    Methods: Direct mapping models were developed using ordinary least squares and Tobit regression analyses to estimate EQ-5D-5L utilities (based on English tariffs), with ALSFRS-R total, domain, and item scores used as explanatory variables, using patient-level data from a UK cohort study. Indirect mapping models were also used to map EQ-5D-5L domains, using the same variables, along with the Neuropathic Pain Scale and the Hospital and Anxiety Depression Scale for MND using multinomial logistic regression analysis. Goodness of fit was assessed along with predicted values for each mapping model.
    Results: The best-performing model predicting EQ-5D-5L utilities used five items of the ALSFRS-R items as explanatory variables in a stepwise ordinary least squares regression. The mean squared error was 0.0228, and the mean absolute error was 0.1173. Prediction was good, with 55.4% of estimated values within 0.1 and 91.4% within 0.25 of the observed EQ-5D-5L utility value. Indirect mapping using the Neuropathic Pain Scale and the Hospital and Anxiety Depression Scale for MND provided less predictive power than direct mapping models.
    Conclusions: This is the first study to present mapping algorithms to crosswalk between ALSFRS-R and EQ-5D-5L. This analysis demonstrates that the ALSFRS-R can be used to estimate EQ-5D-5L utilities when they have not been collected directly within a trial.

    Abstract In July 2019, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) initiated a major review of its health technology evaluation methods to update its methods guide. This update has recently concluded with the publication of its health technology evaluation manual in January 2022. This paper reports the methods and findings of the review in relation to the recommended approach to use for the measurement and valuation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in submissions to NICE. Issues related to (i) the methods to use when NICE's preferred measure (EQ-5D) is not appropriate or not available; (ii) adjusting health state utility values over time to account for age; (iii) measuring and valuing HRQoL in children and young people; and (iv) including carers' QoL in economic evaluations were included in this review. This commentary summarises the methods used to undertake the review, its findings, and the changes to NICE methods that were proposed based on these findings. It also outlines topics where further research is needed before definitive methods guidance can be issued. The broad proposals described here were subject to a public consultation in 2020 and a further consultation on the updated methods guidance was completed in October 2021 before the publication of the manual in January 2022.
