Abstract

In this thesis we explore a variety of topics in analytic number theory and automorphic forms. In the classical context, we look at the value distribution of two Dirichlet L-functions in the critical strip and prove that for a positive proportion these values are linearly independent over the real numbers. The main ingredient is the application of Landau's formula with Gonek's error term. The remainder of the thesis focuses on automorphic forms and their spectral theory. In this setting we explore three directions. First, we prove a Landau-type formula for an exponential sum over the eigenvalues of the Laplacian in PSL(2, Z)\H by using the Selberg Trace Formula. Next, we look at lattice point problems in three dimensions, namely, the number of points within a given distance from a totally geodesic hyperplane. We prove that the error term in this problem is O(X^{3/2}), where arccosh(X) is the hyperbolic distance to the hyperplane. An application of large sieve inequalities provides averages for the error term in the radial and spatial aspect. In particular, the spatial average is consistent with the conjecture that the pointwise error term is O(X^{1+\epsilon}). The radial average is an improvement on the pointwise bound by 1/6. Finally, we identify the quantum limit of scattering states for Bianchi groups of class number one. This follows as a consequence of studying the Quantum Unique Ergodicity of Eisenstein series at complex energies.

Abstract

IMPORTANCE Early exposure to complex dietary proteins may increase the risk of type 1 diabetes in children with genetic disease susceptibility. There are no intact proteins in extensively hydrolyzed formulas. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that weaning to an extensively hydrolyzed formula decreases the cumulative incidence of type 1 diabetes in young children. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS An international double-blind randomized clinical trial of 2159 infants with human leukocyte antigen-conferred disease susceptibility and a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes recruited from May 2002 to January 2007 in 78 study centers in 15 countries; 1081 were randomized to be weaned to the extensively hydrolyzed casein formula and 1078 to a conventional formula. The follow-up of the participants ended on February 28, 2017. INTERVENTIONS The participants received either a casein hydrolysate or a conventional adapted cows milk formula supplemented with 20% of the casein hydrolysate. The minimum duration of study formula exposure was 60 days by 6 to 8 months of age. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcome was type 1 diabetes diagnosed according to World Health Organization criteria. Secondary outcomes included age at diabetes diagnosis and safety (adverse events). RESULTS Among 2159 newborn infants (1021 female [47.3%]) who were randomized, 1744 (80.8%) completed the trial. The participants were observed for a median of 11.5 years (quartile [Q] 1-Q3, 10.2-12.8). The absolute risk of type 1 diabetes was 8.4% among those randomized to the casein hydrolysate (n = 91) vs 7.6% among those randomized to the conventional formula (n = 82) (difference, 0.8%[95% CI, -1.6% to 3.2%]). The hazard ratio for type 1 diabetes adjusted for human leukocyte antigen risk group, duration of breastfeeding, duration of study formula consumption, sex, and region while treating study center as a random effect was 1.1 (95% CI, 0.8 to 1.5; P = .46). The median age at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes was similar in the 2 groups (6.0 years [Q1-Q3, 3.1-8.9] vs 5.8 years [Q1-Q3, 2.6-9.1]; difference, 0.2 years [95% CI, -0.9 to 1.2]). Upper respiratory infections were the most common adverse event reported (frequency, 0.48 events/year in the hydrolysate group and 0.50 events/year in the control group). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among infants at risk for type 1 diabetes, weaning to a hydrolyzed formula compared with a conventional formula did not reduce the cumulative incidence of type 1 diabetes after median follow-up for 11.5 years. These findings do not support a need to revise the dietary recommendations for infants at risk for type 1 diabetes.

Abstract

Background: Patient recruitment for clinical trials is challenging-only approximately one third of all trials recruit their participants as planned. The pharmaceutical industry's views on recruitment success have not been comprehensively investigated, although the industry globally conducts almost one third of all clinical drug trials. This study explored patient recruitment success and failure factors and the role of electronic health records (EHR) in the recruitment of trial participants in the Nordic countries., Methods: A descriptive qualitative interview study was conducted with 21 representatives of the pharmaceutical industry or contract research organizations operating in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The interviews covered 34 clinical pre-market drug trials. Qualitative data were analyzed using inductive content analysis., Results: Four main categories were derived to represent both success and failure factors, whereas a fifth category represented only failure factors: (1) sponsor-related (protocol and trial preparation and feasibility evaluations), (2) site/investigator-related (access to patients, motivation, commitment and resources), (3) patient-related recruitment factors (medical need, patients' role in their care and attitudes towards trials), (4) Sponsor-sites-patients collaboration factors, and (5) start-up related factors. EHR was the most important source of recruitment, utilized in 29 out of 34 trials discussed. Revision of the legislation regulating the secondary use of EHR was highlighted as the most effective measure to facilitate the use of EHR in recruitment of trial participants., Conclusions: The industry representatives recognized quite well their own role in contributing to the success or failure of the recruitment: to facilitate recruitment of trial participants, many obstacles can be avoided with better trial preparation and proper feasibility evaluations. As access to patients represents one of the key success or failure factors of recruitment, and as the EHR is regarded the main source of searching for and finding patients, the development of EHR utilization appears to represent a powerful tool to improve patient recruitment., (© 2022.

Abstract

Introduction: Feasibility evaluations are performed to create the best possible starting point for the set-up and execution of a clinical trial, and to identify any obstacles for successful trial conduct. New digital technologies can provide various types of data for use in feasibility evaluations. There is a need to identify and compare such data sources for trial site identification and for evaluating the sites' patient recruitment potential. Especially, information is needed on the use of electronic health records. We investigated how different data sources are used by pharmaceutical companies operating in the Nordic countries for identifying trial sites and for evaluating their potential to recruit trial participants., Methods: This was a semi-structured qualitative interview study with 21 participants from pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations operating in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Qualitative content analysis was applied., Results: For identifying countries and trial sites on a global level, the trial sponsors mostly used databases on previous trial performance. The use of electronic health record data was very limited. Sites' and investigators' visibility in various databases was seen as fundamental for their countries becoming selected into new clinical trials. For estimating the sites' recruitment projections, most sites were seen to base their patient count estimates solely on their previous experience. Some sites had reviewed their electronic health record data, which was considered to increase the accuracy of their recruitment estimates and these sites' attractivity. Along with dialogs with investigators, the sponsors used various data sources to validate the investigators' estimates. Legislative obstacles were seen to hinder the use of electronic health record queries for estimation of patient counts., Conclusion: Visibility in the databases used by trial sponsors is crucial for the countries and sites to be identified. Site selection appears to be based on trust and relationships built from experience, but electronic data provide the support upon which the trust is based. Estimation of the number of potential trial participants is a complex and time-consuming process for both investigators and sponsors. Sponsors seem to favour sites who could support their patient count estimates with electronic health record data as they were quicker in providing the estimates and more reliable than sites with no electronic health record evidence. The patient count evaluation process could be simplified, accelerated and made more reliable with more systematic use of electronic health record evidence in the feasibility evaluation phase. This would increase the accuracy of the patient count estimates and, on its part, contribute to improved recruitment success.

Abstract

Electronic health records (EHR) are a potential resource for identification of clinical trial participants. We evaluated how accurately a commercially available EHR Research Platform, InSite, is able to identify potential trial participants from the EHR system of a large tertiary care hospital. Patient counts were compared with results obtained in a conventional manual search performed for a reference study that investigated the associations of atrial fibrillation (AF) and cerebrovascular incidents. The Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW) of Turku University Hospital was used to verify the capabilities of the EHR Research Platform. The EHR query resulted in a larger patient count than the manual query (EHR Research Platform 5859 patients, manual selection 2166 patients). This was due to the different search logic and some exclusion criteria that were not addressable in structured digital format. The EHR Research Platform (5859 patients) and the CDW search (5840 patients) employed the same search logic. The temporal relationship between the two diagnoses could be identified when they were available in structured format and the time difference was longer than a single hospital visit. Searching for patients with the EHR Research Platform can help to identify potential trial participants from a hospital's EHR system by limiting the number of records to be manually reviewed. EHR query tools can best be utilized in trials where the selection criteria are expressed in structured digital format., (© 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Abstract

Aim: The occurrence of blood culture-positive pneumococcal bacteraemia and bacteraemic pneumonia decreased after large-scale pneumococcal vaccinations were introduced. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pneumococcal vaccinations on hospitalisations due to blood culture-negative infections with fever and leucocytosis, without any other focus than pneumonic infiltration., Material: This was a retrospective hospital chart review covering the prevaccination era of 2008-2009 and postvaccination era of 2012-2013. The number of study subjects with fever and blood leucocytosis of >17.5 × 10E9/L at one to 36 months of age was 202., Results: The incidence of hospitalisation for infections associated with fever and leucocytosis, when pneumonic infiltration was present on the chest radiograph, was 4.7/10 000/year, with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 2.2-8.8 in children under 36 months in 2012-2013. When pneumonic infiltration was not present, the respective incidence was 14.6/10 000/year (95% CI: 9.6-21.1). The figure from the 2008-2009 prevaccination era was 11.3 (95% CI: 8.1-15.3) when pneumonic infiltration was present and 24.0/10 000/year (95% CI: 19.2-29.7) when pneumonic infiltration was absent., Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccinations in preventing blood culture-negative infections that resembled occult pneumococcal bacteraemia (pneumococcaemia) or bacteraemic pneumococcal pneumonia at one to 36 months of age., (©2016 Foundation Acta Paediatrica.
