- Abstract
Purpose: Prehabilitation is increasingly offered to patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing surgery as it could prevent complications and facilitate recovery. However, implementation of such a complex multidisciplinary intervention is challenging. This study aims to explore perspectives of professionals involved in prehabilitation to gain understanding of barriers or facilitators to its implementation and to identify strategies to successful operationalization of prehabilitation. Methods: In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were performed with healthcare professionals involved in prehabilitation for patients with CRC. Prehabilitation was defined as a preoperative program with the aim of improving physical fitness and nutritional status. Parallel with data collection, open coding was applied to the transcribed interviews. The Ottawa Model of Research Use (OMRU) framework, a comprehensive interdisciplinary model guide to promote implementation of research findings into healthcare practice, was used to categorize obtained codes and structure the barriers and facilitators into relevant themes for change. Results: Thirteen interviews were conducted. Important barriers were the conflicting scientific evidence on (cost-)effectiveness of prehabilitation, the current inability to offer a personalized prehabilitation program, the complex logistic organization of the program, and the unawareness of (the importance of) a prehabilitation program among healthcare professionals and patients. Relevant facilitators were availability of program coordinators, availability of physician leadership, and involving skeptical colleagues in the implementation process from the start. Conclusions: Important barriers to prehabilitation implementation are mainly related to the intervention being complex, relatively unknown and only evaluated in a research setting. Therefore, physicians' leadership is needed to transform care towards more integration of personalized prehabilitation programs. Implications for cancer survivors: By strengthening prehabilitation programs and evidence of their efficacy using these recommendations, it should be possible to enhance both the pre- and postoperative quality of life for colorectal cancer patients during survivorship.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex, multicausal disorder involving several spatiotemporal scales and scientific domains. While many studies focus on specific parts of this system, the complexity of AD is rarely studied as a whole. In this work, we apply systems thinking to map out known causal mechanisms and risk factors ranging from intracellular to psychosocial scales in sporadic AD. We report on the first systemic causal loop diagram (CLD) for AD, which is the result of an interdisciplinary group model building (GMB) process. The GMB was based on the input of experts from multiple domains and all proposed mechanisms were supported by scientific literature. The CLD elucidates interaction and feedback mechanisms that contribute to cognitive decline from midlife onward as described by the experts. As an immediate outcome, we observed several non-trivial reinforcing feedback loops involving factors at multiple spatial scales, which are rarely considered within the same theoretical framework. We also observed high centrality for modifiable risk factors such as social relationships and physical activity, which suggests they may be promising leverage points for interventions. This illustrates how a CLD from an interdisciplinary GMB process may lead to novel insights into complex disorders. Furthermore, the CLD is the first step in the development of a computational model for simulating the effects of risk factors on AD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Besides physical activity as a target for dementia prevention, sedentary behaviour is hypothesized to be a potential target in its own right. The rising number of persons with dementia and lack of any effective treatment highlight the urgency to better understand these modifiable risk factors. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether higher levels of sedentary behaviour are associated with reduced global cognitive functioning and slower cognitive decline in older persons without dementia. Methods: We used five population cohorts from Greece, Australia, USA, Japan, and Singapore (HELIAD, PATH, SALSA, SGS, and SLAS2) from the Cohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium. In a coordinated analysis, we assessed the relationship between sedentary behaviour and global cognitive function with the use of linear mixed growth model analysis (mean follow-up range of 2.0–8.1 years). Results: Baseline datasets combined 10,450 older adults without dementia with a mean age range between cohorts of 66.7–75.1 years. After adjusting for multiple covariates, no cross-sectional association between sedentary behaviour and cognition was found in four studies. One association was detected where more sedentary behaviour was cross-sectionally linked to higher cognition levels (SLAS2, B = 0.118 (0.075; 0.160), P < 0.001). Longitudinally, there were no associations between baseline sedentary behaviour and cognitive decline (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Overall, these results do not suggest an association between total sedentary time and lower global cognition in older persons without dementia at baseline or over time. We hypothesize that specific types of sedentary behaviour may differentially influence cognition which should be investigated further. For now, it is, however, too early to establish undifferentiated sedentary time as a potential effective target for minimizing cognitive decline in older adults without dementia.

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are an essential means for collecting information on the effectiveness of hospital care as perceived by the patients themselves. Especially older adult patients often require help from nursing staff to successfully complete PROMs, but this staff already has a high work load. Therefore, a social robot is introduced to perform the PROM questioning and recording task. The study objective was to design a multimodal dialogue for a social robot to acquire PROMs for older patients. The primary outcomes were the effectiveness, the efficiency, and the subjective usability as perceived by older adults of acquiring PROMs by a social robot. The robot dialogue design included a personalized welcome, PROM questions, confirmation requests, affective statements, use of a support screen on the robot displaying the answer options, and accompanying robot gestures. The design was tested in a crossover study with 31 community-dwelling persons aged 70 years or above. Answers obtained with the robot were compared with those obtained by a questionnaire taken by humans. First results indicated that PROM data collection in older persons may be carried out effectively and efficiently by a social robot. The robot's subjective usability was on average scored as 80.1 (± 11.6) on a scale from 0 to 100. The recorded data reliability was 99.6%. A first relevant step has been made on the design trajectory for a robot to obtain PROMs from older adults. Practice variation in subjective usability scores still asks for technical dialogue improvements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This report describes the development and validation process of an assessment with national consensus in appropriate and safe pharmacotherapy. Methods: A question-database on safe prescription based on literature of pharmacotherapy-related harm was developed by an expert group from Dutch medical faculties. Final-year medical students concluded a 2-year education program on appropriate and safe prescription by one of nine assessment variants of 40 multiple-choice questions each. An expert panel of professionals (n = 10) answered all database questions and rated questions on relevance. Questions were selected for revision based on lack of relevance or poor test and item characteristics. Results: A total of 576 final-year medical students of the Radboud University was assessed. There was no significant difference in performance between students and content expert group (p = 0.7), probably due to learning behavior. Out of 165 questions, 59 were selected for revision. Conclusion: Joint national effort from a team of experts in prescription and pharmacotherapy is an appropriate way to achieve a valid and reliable last-year student drug prescription assessment.

Rationale: Data on safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are lacking in dementia patients. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, we evaluated the safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of THC in ten patients with dementia (mean age 77.3 ± 5.6). For 12 weeks, participants randomly received oral THC (weeks 1-6, 0.75 mg; weeks 7-12, 1.5 mg) or placebo twice daily for 3 days, separated by a 4-day washout period. Results: Only 6 of the 98 reported adverse events were related to THC. Visual analog scale (VAS) feeling high, VAS external perception, body sway-eyes-open, and diastolic blood pressure were not significantly different with THC. After the 0.75-mg dose, VAS internal perception (0.025 units; 95 % CI 0.010-0.040) and heart rate (2 beats/min; 95 % CI 0.4-3.8) increased significantly. Body sway-eyes-closed increased only after 1.5 mg (0.59°/s; 95 % CI 0.13-1.06). Systolic blood pressure changed significantly after both doses of THC (0.75 mg, −7 mmHg, 95 % CI −11.4, −3.0; 1.5 mg, 5 mmHg, 95 % CI 1.0-9.2). The median T was 1-2 h, with THC pharmacokinetics increasing linearly with increasing dose, with wide interindividual variability (CV% up to 140 %). The mean C (ng/mL) after the first dose (0-6 h) was 0.41 (0.18-0.90) for the 0.75-mg dose and 1.01 (0.53-1.92) for the 1.5-mg dose. After the second dose (6-24 h), the C was 0.50 (0.27-0.92) and 0.98 (0.46-2.06), respectively. Conclusions: THC was rapidly absorbed and had dose-linear pharmacokinetics with considerable interindividual variation. Pharmacodynamic effects, including adverse events, were minor. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the pharmacodynamics and efficacy of higher THC doses in older persons with dementia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

15. Practice of Competence Assessment in Dementia: The Netherlands.

Stoppe, Gabriela and Olde Rikkert, Marcel G. M.
- Abstract
As in other countries, questions with regard to decision making in dementia in the Netherlands have to be solved within a medical, legal and ethical framework. The legal framework is primarily built on four laws: the bill that regulates the patient-physician relationship in medical diagnosis and treatment, the bill that regulates admission into a psychiatric hospital against one's will, the bill that regulates how medical research should be carried out, and the special bill on guardianship for non-financial decision making. None of these bills describes the way in which the competence to consent should be assessed, nor do they give a framework or present preconditions for such an assessment. However, these bills are the legal background for the assessment of competency to consent.1 In the Dutch dementia guideline published in 2005 (http://www.cbo.nl) recommendations have been made to assess competence based on scientific evidence, on this legal background, on a guideline published earlier on this topic by the Royal Dutch Medical Society, and on consensus among leading experts in the field on how to assess competence in medical practice.

Background: Visual analogue scales (VAS) are often used to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, when such scales contain ambiguous anchors like 'best imaginable health state,' they produce answers that are difficult to interpret, as such anchors are interpreted differently by respondents of different age. This phenomenon that people's interpretation of subjective response scales changes in response to changing circumstances is known as scale recalibration. The current study attempts to investigate whether scale recalibration in a patient sample with cognitive limitations and proxies differs from the general population. Methods: The participants in the current study were 151 pairs of community-dwelling patients with dementia and their proxies. They were administered three VASs with different upper anchors; (A) 'best imaginable health state,' (B) 'best imaginable health state for someone your age,' and (C) 'best imaginable health state for a 25-year-old.' From literature, we inferred a conceptual model for the general population that predicts the ordinal relationship of the VASs to be B ≥ A ≥ C. This rank order is tested by repeated measure ANOVA's in the aforementioned populations. Results: VAS scores of patients with dementia were in line with the conceptual model. Proxy VAS scores for assessing patient HRQoL were not in line with the model: A > B > C. In addition, proxy VAS scores for assessing their own health were not in line with the model: A > B > C. Conclusion: Patients with dementia use the VAS in a similar way to the general population. Proxies assessing either patients or themselves differ from the general population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Renin angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) are frequently involved in serious adverse events. These events principally occur in high-risk patients and often arise within the first days after treatment initiation; therefore, guidelines recommend biochemical monitoring within 3 weeks after the start of therapy with RASIs.Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the level of biochemical monitoring directly after treatment initiation with RASIs in patients with different risk profiles and to study the attitudes of the physicians involved towards biochemical monitoring.Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of 202 patients who started RASI therapy in 2006 in Groesbeek, the Netherlands. We determined the rate of serum creatinine and potassium monitoring within 3 weeks after the start of therapy. In addition, we studied the intentions and attitudes towards biochemical monitoring during RASI therapy among 68 general practitioners and medical specialists by way of a brief questionnaire.Results: Serum creatinine and potassium monitoring after treatment initiation was performed in 34% and 28% of patients, respectively. Of all the patients, 29% had two or more additional risk factors for renal function deterioration. In these high-risk patients, creatinine was significantly less often monitored compared with low-risk patients (22% vs 39%). In contrast to these findings, the prescribing physicians claimed to check serum creatinine within 2 weeks after treatment initiation in 85% of their patients. Most of the prescribing physicians (88%) rated this monitoring as (very) important.Conclusions: We demonstrated that, despite positive intentions of physicians, the biochemical monitoring recommendation in patients treated with RASIs is poorly met. In addition, serum creatinine monitoring was significantly less often performed in high-risk patients compared with low-risk patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Purpose: The Quality of Life Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QoL-AD) is commonly used to assess disease specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as rated by patients and their carers. For cost-effectiveness analyses, utilities based on the EQ-5D are often required. We report a new mapping algorithm to obtain EQ-5D indices when only QoL-AD data are available.Methods: Different statistical models to estimate utility directly, or responses to individual EQ-5D questions (response mapping) from QoL-AD, were trialled for patient-rated and proxy-rated questionnaires. Model performance was assessed by root mean square error and mean absolute error.Results: The response model using multinomial regression including age and sex, performed best in both the estimation dataset and an independent dataset.Conclusions: The recommended mapping algorithm allows researchers for the first time to estimate EQ-5D values from QoL-AD data, enabling cost-utility analyses using datasets where the QoL-AD but no utility measures were collected.
