Data from: Evaluation of a pharmacist-led actionable audit and feedback intervention for improving medication safety in primary care: an interrupted time series analysis

<p><strong>Background</strong>. We evaluated the impact of a pharmacist-led Safety Medication dASHboard (SMASH) intervention on medication safety in primary care.<br> <strong>Methods and findings</strong>. SMASH comprised: (1) training of clinical pharmacists to deliver the intervention; (2) a web-based dashboard providing actionable, patient-level feedback; and (3) pharmacists reviewing individual at-risk patients, and initiating remedial actions or advising general practitioners on doing so. It was implemented in forty-three general practices covering a population of 235,595 people in Salford (Greater Manchester), UK. All practices started receiving the intervention between 18 April 2016 and 26 September 2017. We used an interrupted time series analysis of rates of potentially hazardous prescribing and inadequate blood-test monitoring, comparing observed rates post-intervention to extrapolations from a 24-month pre-intervention trend. The number of people registered to participating practices and having one or more risk factors for being exposed to hazardous prescribing or inadequate blood-test monitoring at the start of the intervention was 47,413 (males: 23,073 [48.7%]; mean age: 60 [standard deviation: 21]). At baseline, 95% of practices had rates of potentially hazardous prescribing (composite of 10 indicators) between 0.88% and 6.19%. The prevalence of potentially hazardous prescribing reduced by 27.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 20.3% to 36.8%) at 24 weeks and by 40.7% (95% CI, 29.1% to 54.2%) at twelve months after introduction of SMASH. The rate of inadequate blood-test monitoring (composite of 2 indicators) reduced by 22.0% (95% CI, 0.2% to 50.7%) at 24 weeks and by 23.5% (95% CI, -4.5% to 61.6%) at 12 months. After 12 months, 95% of practices had rates of potentially hazardous prescribing between 0.74% and 3.02%. We did not randomise practices but enrolled them in a naturalistic fashion. All our measurements were based on routinely kept electronic health records.<br> <strong>Conclusions</strong>. The SMASH intervention was associated with reduced rates of potentially hazardous prescribing and inadequate blood-test monitoring in general practices. This reduction was sustained over 12 months after start of the intervention for prescribing but not for monitoring of medication. There was a marked reduction in the variation in rates of high-risk prescribing between practices.</p>

Agricultural intensification heightens food safety risks posed by wild birds

<p>1. Agricultural intensification and simplification are key drivers of recent declines in wild bird populations, heightening the need to better balance conservation with food production. This is hindered, however, by perceptions that birds threaten food safety. While birds are known reservoirs of foodborne pathogens, there remains uncertainty about the links between landscape context, farming practices, and actual crop contamination by birds.</p> <p>2. Here, we examine relationships between landscape context, farming practices, and pathogen contamination by birds using a barrier-to-spillover approach. First, we censused bird communities using point count surveys. Second, we collected 2024 faecal samples from captured birds alongside 1215 faecal samples from brassica fields and food processing areas across 50 farms spanning the USA West Coast. We then estimated the prevalence of three foodborne pathogens across landscape and livestock intensification gradients. Finally, we quantified the number of plants with faeces.</p> <p>3. <i>Campylobacter </i>spp. were detected in 10.2% of faeces from captured birds and 13.1% of faeces from production areas. Nonnative birds were 4.1 times more likely to have <i>Campylobacter </i>spp. than native birds. <i>Salmonella </i>spp. were detected in 0.2% of faeces from production areas and were never detected in captured birds. We detected evidence of Shiga toxigenic <i>E. coli </i>in 1 sample across the &gt;3200 tested.</p> <p>4. <i>Campylobacter</i> spp. prevalence in faeces from production areas increased with increasing mammalian livestock densities in the landscape but decreased with increasing amounts of natural habitat.</p> <p>5. We encountered bird faeces on 3.3% of plants examined. Despite the impact on pathogen prevalence, landscape context did not increase the number of plants with bird faeces, although on-farm mammalian livestock density slightly did.</p> <p>6. <i>Synthesis and applications. </i>Food safety and wildlife conservation are often thought to be in conflict. However, our findings suggest that natural habitat around farms may reduce crop contamination rates by birds. This is perhaps because natural habitat can promote native birds that are less likely to harbour foodborne pathogens or because it decreases contact with livestock waste. Our results suggest that preservation of natural habitats around farms could benefit both conservation and food safety, contrary to current standards for "best practices."</p>

Such analysis is performed after a system requirements specification is available. Therefore, it is then worthwhile to investigate specification techniques to detect their strengths and weaknesses with respect to discovering hazards early in the development process. <strong>Objective</strong>: In this paper, we investigate similarities and differences in the results of a preliminary safety analysis from requirements specified using models in Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and Textual Use Cases (TUC). <strong>Method</strong>: We adopted a controlled experiment as research method using computer engineering students as subjects. <strong>Results</strong>: The subjects of BPMN group found more accidents, hazards as well as more causes of hazards. Moreover, they have a higher preference for the template used for safety analysis documentation. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The use of BPMN to represent the interactions among actors in a system probably lead to the discovery of more accidents and hazards, but more experiments are necessary to test this hypothesis since the results are not statistically significant.</p>

Data from: Safety of single low-dose primaquine in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient falciparum-infected African males: two open-label, randomized, safety trials

Background: Primaquine (PQ) actively clears mature Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes but in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PDd) individuals can cause hemolysis. We assessed the safety of low-dose PQ in combination with artemether-lumefantrine (AL) or dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) in G6PDd African males with asymptomatic P. falciparum malaria. Methods and findings: In Burkina Faso, G6PDd adult males were randomized to treatment with AL alone (n = 10) or with PQ at 0.25 (n = 20) or 0.40 mg/kg (n = 20) dosage; G6PD-normal males received AL plus 0.25 (n = 10) or 0.40 mg/kg (n = 10) PQ. In The Gambia, G6PDd adult males and boys received DP alone (n = 10) or with 0.25 mg/kg PQ (n = 20); G6PD-normal males received DP plus 0.25 (n = 10) or 0.40 mg/kg (n = 10) PQ. The primary study endpoint was change in hemoglobin concentration during the 28-day follow-up. Cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolizer status, gametocyte carriage, haptoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase levels and reticulocyte counts were also determined. In Burkina Faso, the mean maximum absolute change in hemoglobin was -2.13 g/dL (95% confidence interval [CI], -2.78, -1.49) in G6PDd individuals randomized to 0.25 PQ mg/kg and -2.29 g/dL (95% CI, -2.79, -1.79) in those receiving 0.40 PQ mg/kg. In The Gambia, the mean maximum absolute change in hemoglobin concentration was -1.83 g/dL (95% CI, -2.19, -1.47) in G6PDd individuals receiving 0.25 PQ mg/kg. After adjustment for baseline concentrations, hemoglobin reductions in G6PDd individuals in Burkina Faso were more pronounced compared to those in G6PD-normal individuals receiving the same PQ doses (P = 0.062 and P = 0.022, respectively). Hemoglobin levels normalized during follow-up. Abnormal haptoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase levels provided additional evidence of mild transient hemolysis post-PQ. Conclusions: Single low-dose PQ in combination with AL and DP was associated with mild and transient reductions in hemoglobin. None of the study participants developed moderate or severe anemia; there were no severe adverse events. This indicates that single low-dose PQ is safe in G6PDd African males when used with artemisinin-based combination therapy.

Data from: A randomized controlled safety and feasibility trial of floatation-REST in anxious and depressed individuals

<div> <div> <div> <div> <p>Background: Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy via floatation (floatation- REST) is a behavioral intervention designed to attenuate exteroceptive sensory input to the nervous system. Prior studies in anxious and depressed individuals demonstrated that single sessions of floatation-REST are safe, well-tolerated, and associated with an acute anxiolytic and antidepressant effect that persists for over 48 hours. However, the feasibility of using floatation-REST as a repeated intervention in anxious and depressed populations has not been well-investigated.</p> <p>Methods: In this single-blind safety and feasibility trial, 75 individuals with anxiety and depression were randomized to complete six sessions of floatation-REST in different formats: pool-REST (weekly 1-hour float sessions), pool-REST preferred (float sessions with flexibility of duration and frequency), or an active comparator (chair- REST; weekly 1-hour sessions in a Zero Gravity chair). Feasibility (primary outcome) was assessed via an 80% rate of adherence to the assigned intervention; tolerability via study dropout and duration/frequency of REST utilization; and safety via incidence of adverse events and ratings about the effects of REST.</p> <p>Results: Of 1,715 individuals initially screened, 75 participants were ultimately randomized. Six-session adherence was 85% for pool-REST (mean, M=5.1 sessions; standard deviation, SD=1.8), 89% for pool-REST preferred (M=5.3 sessions; SD=1.6), and 74% for chair-REST (M=4.4 sessions; SD=2.5). Dropout rates at the end of the intervention did not differ significantly between the treatment conditions. Mean session durations were 53.0 minutes (SD=12.3) for pool-REST, 75.4 minutes (SD=29.4) for pool-REST preferred, and 58.4 minutes (SD=4.3) for chair-REST. There were no serious adverse events associated with any intervention. Positive experiences were endorsed more commonly than negative ones and were also rated at higher levels of intensity.</p> <p>Conclusions: Six sessions of floatation-REST appear feasible, well-tolerated, and safe in anxious and depressed individuals. Floatation-REST induces positively-valenced experiences with few negative effects. Larger randomized controlled trials evaluating markers of clinical efficacy are warranted.</p> <p>Clinical Trial Registration Identifier: NCT03899090</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Safety and tolerability of a low glycemic load dietary intervention in adults with cystic fibrosis: A pilot study

<p><strong>Context</strong>: To achieve and maintain adequate weight, people with cystic fibrosis (CF) may often consume energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates; however, little is known about the glycemic and metabolic effects of dietary composition in this patient population.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: To investigate the safety and tolerability of a low glycemic load (LGL) diet in adults with CF and abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT).</p> <p><strong>Design</strong>: Prospective, open-label pilot study.</p> <p><strong>Intervention</strong>: Each participant followed his/her typical diet for eight weeks, then transitioned to an LGL diet via meal delivery service for eight weeks.</p> <p><strong>Participants</strong>: Ten adults with CF and AGT completed the trial. Mean age was 27.0±2.1 years, 64% were female, and all had pancreatic insufficiency.</p> <p><strong>Outcome Measures</strong>: The primary outcome was a change in weight from baseline to study completion, with safety established if no significant decline was noted. Other key safety outcomes included change in hypoglycemia measured by patient reports and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Exploratory outcomes included changes in other CGM measures, body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and patient-reported outcomes.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>:<strong> </strong>There were no significant changes in weight or in subjectively-reported or objectively-measured hypoglycemia. Favorable non-significant trends were noted in CGM measures of hyperglycemia and glycemic variability, DXA measures of fat mass, and gastrointestinal symptom surveys.  </p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>:<strong> </strong>An LGL dietary intervention was safe and well tolerated in adults with CF and AGT. These results lay the groundwork for future trials investigating the impact of low-glycemic dietary interventions on metabolic outcomes in the CF population.</p>

Assessment of Self-Medication Practices and Safety Profile of Medicines Utilisation among Pregnant Women attending Antenatal Clinics in Freetown, Sierra Leone: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

<p><strong><span>Background: </span></strong><span>Despite the potential fetal and maternal risks of self-medication, studies on self-medication practice and the safety profile of medicines used during pregnancy are scarce in our setting. This study determined the self-medication practice and safety profile of medicines used among pregnant women.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Methods: </span></strong><span>This cross-sectional study was conducted in face-to-face interviews among 345 pregnant women at three hospitals in Sierra Leone. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to <span>determine the prevalence and associated factors of self-medication. </span></span></p> <p><strong><span>Results: </span></strong><span>A total of 345 pregnant women participated in the study. The prevalence of self-medication among pregnant women with conventional and/or herbal medicine was </span><span>132 (38.3%)</span><span>. Also, 93 (75%) of the conventional medicines (CMs) were categorized as probably safe, of which paracetamol 36 (29.0%) was commonly used, followed by amoxicillin 23 (18.5%) and antimalarials 22 (17.7%) for common illnesses such as </span><span>headache 30 (25.4%), </span><span>urinary tract infection </span><span>23 (19.4%)<span> and malaria 22 (18.6%). The common reason for self-medication was previous experience with the disease 24 (27.3%). </span><em>Luffa acutangula</em> 19 (30.2%) <span>was the most used herbal medicine (HM), </span>and Oedema 30 (47.6%) was the most reported ailment. <span>Among the HM users,</span> 34 (54.0%)<span> believe they are more effective than CMs. Secondary school education (AOR = 2.128, 95%CI = 1.191 &ndash; 3.804, p = 0.011), tertiary education (AOR = 2.915, 95%CI = 1.104 &ndash; 7.693, p = 0.031), monthly income of greater than NLe 1,000 (AOR = 4.084, 95% CI = 1.269 &ndash; 13.144, p = 0.018), and perceived maternal illness (AOR = 0.367, CI = 0.213 &ndash; 0.632, p = &lt;0.001) were predictors of self-medication.</span></span></p> <p><strong><span>Conclusion: </span></strong><span>Self-medication practice was highly prevalent and was associated with educational status, monthly income, and maternal illness during pregnancy. Therefore, intervention programs should be designed and implemented to minimize the practice and risk associated with self-medication among pregnant women.</span></p>
