Rdislex: test rápido para riesgo de dislexia en niños prelectores y lectores iniciales. Prueba piloto

Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder with a prevalence of 5-17%, in all languages of the world, characterized by difficulty in precise word recognition, with an impact on fluency and reading comprehension, with emotional and social consequences. in the medium and long term, such as anxiety, depression and school failure. Objective: Design a rapid screening tool for risk of development of dyslexia for pediatric and school use. Method: An instrument composed of 7 test items or stimuli was developed. A total of 138 infants, between 5-7 years and 11 months, without neurological pathologies or visual or hearing deficits, who attended pediatric health check-ups or pre-school or primary school in Bariloche, Argentina, participated. Results: The designed tool showed very good psychometric indices and correlation with the TDR and LEE tests, which would allow a first approximation to a predictive tool for reading performance risk. Conclusions: The test in its pilot stage made it possible to compare the performance of children in phonological awareness, fluency and working memory, predictors of written language learning. The expansion of the sample and its validation will allow easy access to its use in schools or pediatric offices.La dislexia es un trastorno específico del aprendizaje con una prevalencia de 5-17%, en todos los idiomas del mundo, caracterizado por la dificultad en el reconocimiento preciso de las palabras, con impacto en la fluidez y comprensión lectora, con consecuencias emocionales y sociales a mediano y largo plazo, como ansiedad, depresión y fracaso escolar.

Off-label long acting injectable antipsychotics in real-world clinical practice: a cross-sectional analysis of prescriptive patterns from the STAR Network DEPOT study

Introduction Information on the off-label use of Long-Acting Injectable (LAI) antipsychotics in the real world is lacking. In this study, we aimed to identify the sociodemographic and clinical features of patients treated with on- vs off-label LAIs and predictors of off-label First- or Second-Generation Antipsychotic (FGA vs. SGA) LAI choice in everyday clinical practice. Method In a naturalistic national cohort of 449 patients who initiated LAI treatment in the STAR Network Depot Study, two groups were identified based on off- or on-label prescriptions. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to test several clinically relevant variables and identify those associated with the choice of FGA vs SGA prescription in the off-label group. Results SGA LAIs were more commonly prescribed in everyday practice, without significant differences in their on- and off-label use. Approximately 1 in 4 patients received an off-label prescription. In the off-label group, the most frequent diagnoses were bipolar disorder (67.5%) or any personality disorder (23.7%). FGA vs SGA LAI choice was significantly associated with BPRS thought disorder (OR = 1.22, CI95% 1.04 to 1.43, p = 0.015) and hostility/suspiciousness (OR = 0.83, CI95% 0.71 to 0.97, p = 0.017) dimensions. The likelihood of receiving an SGA LAI grew steadily with the increase of the BPRS thought disturbance score. Conversely, a preference towards prescribing an FGA was observed with higher scores at the BPRS hostility/suspiciousness subscale. Conclusion Our study is the first to identify predictors of FGA vs SGA choice in patients treated with off-label LAI antipsychotics. Demographic characteristics, i.e. age, sex, and substance/alcohol use co-morbidities did not appear to influence the choice towards FGAs or SGAs. Despite a lack of evidence, clinicians tend to favour FGA over SGA LAIs in bipolar or personality disorder patients with relevant hostility. Further research is needed to evaluate treatment adherence and clinical effectiveness of these prescriptive patterns

The Role of Attitudes Toward Medication and Treatment Adherence in the Clinical Response to LAIs: Findings From the STAR Network Depot Study

Background: Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics are efficacious in managing psychotic symptoms in people affected by severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The present study aimed to investigate whether attitude toward treatment and treatment adherence represent predictors of symptoms changes over time. Methods: The STAR Network \u201cDepot Study\u201d was a naturalistic, multicenter, observational, prospective study that enrolled people initiating a LAI without restrictions on diagnosis, clinical severity or setting. Participants from 32 Italian centers were assessed at three time points: baseline, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up. Psychopathological symptoms, attitude toward medication and treatment adherence were measured using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI-10) and the Kemp's 7-point scale, respectively. Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate whether attitude toward medication and treatment adherence independently predicted symptoms changes over time. Analyses were conducted on the overall sample and then stratified according to the baseline severity (BPRS < 41 or BPRS 65 41). Results: We included 461 participants of which 276 were males. The majority of participants had received a primary diagnosis of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder (71.80%) and initiated a treatment with a second-generation LAI (69.63%). BPRS, DAI-10, and Kemp's scale scores improved over time. Six linear regressions\u2014conducted considering the outcome and predictors at baseline, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up independently\u2014showed that both DAI-10 and Kemp's scale negatively associated with BPRS scores at the three considered time points. Linear mixed-effects models conducted on the overall sample did not show any significant association between attitude toward medication or treatment adherence and changes in psychiatric symptoms over time. However, after stratification according to baseline severity, we found that both DAI-10 and Kemp's scale negatively predicted changes in BPRS scores at 12-month follow-up regardless of baseline severity. The association at 6-month follow-up was confirmed only in the group with moderate or severe symptoms at baseline. Conclusion: Our findings corroborate the importance of improving the quality of relationship between clinicians and patients. Shared decision making and thorough discussions about benefits and side effects may improve the outcome in patients with severe mental disorders

Preferencia de tipos de gráficos por parte de productores rurales para comunicación y divulgación técnica

Understanding data graphs, both when performing scientific work and sharing scientific data, is a topic that is receiving increased attention around the world. This is particularly the case when it comes to rural producers, since agencies and other institutions must explain improvements and technical contributions in a simple, digestible manner. For this paper, we surveyed 80 rural producers in the south-central region of the Province of Entre Ríos in Argentina, investigating their preferences for certain types of data graphs. We asked for their position on bar graphs (either horizontal or vertical) as opposed to line graphs (combined in the same graph or as separate graphs). We found that respondents significantly preferred bar graphs (76.25%, p=0.001) and, among those, also preferred vertical bar graphs over horizontal (78.75%, p=0.000). ere was no preference for line graphs in a single graph or separated across four graphs. Dividing respondents by age group, academic level, and years of rural activity yielded only slight variations next to the global percentages. In conclusion, these results reveal the importance of designing simpler data graphs when sharing information with rural producers.A compreensão de gráficos de dados, tanto no âmbito científico quanto na divulgação científica, é um tema de crescente interesse no mundo, particularmente no caso dos produtores rurais, onde agências e outras instituições devem explicar melhorias e contribuições técnicas em uma maneira simples e compreensível. Neste trabalho, a preferência por diversos tipos de gráficos foi investigada em 80 produtores rurais da zona centro-sul de Entre Ríos, Argentina, por meio de uma pesquisa. Eles foram consultados para a preferência de gráficos de barras (horizontais ou verticais) ou de linhas (no mesmo gráfico ou em gráficos separados). Verificou-se que eles preferem significativamente os gráficos de barras aos gráficos de linhas (76,25%, p = 0,001) e os gráficos de barras verticais aos horizontais (78,75, p = 0,000). Não houve diferença na preferência das linhas juntas no mesmo gráfico ou separadas em quatro gráficos. A divisão por estratos de idade, escolaridade ou anos de atividade rural apresentou pequenas variações em relação aos dados globais. Em conclusão, os resultados indicam a importância de se traçar gráficos mais simples em textos dirigidos aos produtores rurais.La comprensión de gráficos de datos, tanto a nivel científico como a nivel de divulgación científica, es un tema de creciente interés en el mundo, en particular en el caso de productores rurales, ya que las agencias y otras instituciones deben explicar las mejoras y aportes técnicos en forma sencilla y comprensible. En este trabajo, por medio de una encuesta, se investigó la preferencia por diversos tipos de gráficos a 80 productores rurales de la zona centro-sur de Entre Ríos, Argentina. Se consultó por la preferencia de gráficos de barras (horizontales o verticales) o de líneas (en el mismo gráfico o en gráficos separados). Se obtuvo que prefieren en forma significativa los gráficos de barras por sobre los de líneas (76,25%, p=0,001) y los de barras verticales por sobre los de barras horizontales (78,75%, p=0,000). No hubo diferencia en la preferencia de líneas juntas en el mismo gráfico o separadas en cuatro gráficos. La división por estratos –edad, nivel de estudios o años en la actividad rural– mostraron pequeñas variaciones respecto a los datos globales. En conclusión, los resultados señalan la importancia de diseñar gráficos que sean más sencillos en textos dirigidos a productores rurales
