An analytic appraisal of nutrition screening tools supported by original data with particular reference to age
No full textObjectiveControversies exist as to the suitability of various nutrition screening tools for various age groups, the incorporation of age and age-related criteria into some tools, and the procedures associated with tool selection.MethodsReviews of the literature and national and local datasets were used to identify the types of screening tools available for different age groups, the origins of age-related criteria, and the value of tool selection procedures based on predicting clinical outcomes.ResultsNutrition screening can be undertaken in fetuses, children, and adults over narrow or wide age ranges, for diagnostic or prognostic purposes, with or without nutritional interventions. Certain tools can establish malnutrition risk without using any nutritional criteria, whereas others can do so only with nutritional criteria. The incorporation of age and age-specific body mass index criteria into adult screening tools can influence the prevalence and age distribution of malnutrition, but no justification is usually provided for their use. In several circumstances, age alone can predict mortality and length of hospital stay much better than screening tools. We identified various methodologic problems in nutrition screening tool selection.ConclusionsA comparison of nutrition screening tools designed for different age groups and different purposes can be problematic. Age and screening tools incorporating risk factors that are non-modifiable or generally weakly modifiable by nutritional support (e.g., age, disease severity) may predict outcomes of disease, but they are not necessarily suitable for predicting outcomes of nutritional support. To contextualize the findings, a framework for screening tool selection is suggested that takes into account a matrix of needs

Florence Nightingale diagrams of deaths in England & Wales
No full textWhen time-series data is plotted as a normal x-y plot with the time variable along the x axis it is difficult to identify seasonality or other factors that may influence the data.
Florence Nightingale used a form of radial plots to display data from the Crimean War and to demonstrate that better hygiene would reduce the death rate amongst soldiers could be reduced by better hygiene.
Plotting the weekly numbers of deaths using this radial form demonstrates the variability during the first months of the year – deaths from “Aussie flu” in the first weeks of 2018. The increase in the number of deaths from the first week in April 2020 can clearly be seen.
Radial plots are available in all the main stats packages (Radar plots in Excel, several procedures in R, proc gradar in SAS, RADAR in STATA)

Delay in diabetic retinopathy screening increases the rate of detection of referable diabetic retinopathy.
Get PDFAIMS: To assess whether there is a relationship between delay in retinopathy screening after diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and level of retinopathy detected. METHODS: Patients were referred from 88 primary care practices to an English National Health Service diabetic eye screening programme. Data for screened patients were extracted from the primary care databases using semi-automated data collection algorithms supplemented by validation processes. The programme uses two-field mydriatic digital photographs graded by a quality assured team. RESULTS: Data were available for 8183 screened patients with diabetes newly diagnosed in 2005, 2006 or 2007. Only 163 with type 1 diabetes were identified and were insufficient for analysis. Data were available for 8020 with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Of these, 3569 were screened within 6 months, 2361 between 6 and 11 months, 1058 between 12 and 17 months, 366 between 18 and 23 months, 428 between 24 and 35 months, and 238 at 3 years or more after diagnosis. There were 5416 (67.5%) graded with no retinopathy, 1629 (20.3%) with background retinopathy in one eye, 753 (9.4%) with background retinopathy in both eyes and 222 (2.8%) had referable diabetic retinopathy. There was a significant trend (P = 0.0004) relating time from diagnosis to screening detecting worsening retinopathy. Of those screened within 6 months of diagnosis, 2.3% had referable retinopathy and, 3 years or more after diagnosis, 4.2% had referable retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of detection of referable diabetic retinopathy is elevated in those who were not screened promptly after diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
