    Collaborative working in health and social care: Lessons learned from postā€hoc preliminary findings of a young familiesā€™ pregnancy to age 2 project in South Wales, United Kingdom

    Children of young and socially disadvantaged parents are more likely to experience adverse outcomes. In response to this, a unique young familiesā€™ project in Swansea, UK, was created, which drew together a team of multi-agency professionals, to support people aged 16ā€“24 from 17 weeks of pregnancy throughout 1,001 days of the child's life. The aim of the JIGSO (the Welsh word for Jigsaw) project is for young people to reach their potential as parents and to break the cycle of health and social inequality. This evaluation analysed routinely collected data held by the project from January 2017 to December 2018 exploring health and social outcomes, including smoking and alcohol use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, maternal diet and social services outcomes. Outcomes were compared to local and national averages, where available. Data relating to parenting knowledge and skills were available via records of 10-point Likert scales, one collected at the start of the JIGSO involvement and one around 4ā€“6 months later. Findings showed higher than average levels of breastfeeding initiation and lower smoking and alcohol use in pregnancy. Parents also reported enhanced knowledge and confidence in their child care skills, as well as improved family relationships. Parents with high levels of engagement with JIGSO also appeared to have positive outcomes with Social Services (their child's name was removed from child protection register or their case was closed to social services). This was a post-hoc evaluation, not an intervention study or trial, and thus findings must be interpreted with caution. Despite this, the findings are promising and more prospective research exploring similar services is required

    Background: Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS) is a 4 variable composite disease activity (DA) score for JIA (including active 10, 27 or 71 joint count (AJC), physician global (PGA), parent/child global (PGE) and ESR). The validity of JADAS for all ILAR subtypes in the routine clinical setting is unknown. We investigated the construct validity of JADAS in the clinical setting in all subtypes of JIA through application to a prospective inception cohort of UK children presenting with new onset inflammatory arthritis. Methods: JADAS 10, 27 and 71 were determined for all children in the Childhood Arthritis Prospective Study (CAPS) with complete data available at baseline. Correlation of JADAS 10, 27 and 71 with single DA markers was determined for all subtypes. All correlations were calculated using Spearman's rank statistic. Results: 262/1238 visits had sufficient data for calculation of JADAS (1028 (83%) AJC, 744 (60%) PGA, 843 (68%) PGE and 459 (37%) ESR). Median age at disease onset was 6.0 years (IQR 2.6-10.4) and 64% were female. Correlation between JADAS 10, 27 and 71 approached 1 for all subtypes. Median JADAS 71 was 5.3 (IQR 2.2-10.1) with a significant difference between median JADAS scores between subtypes (p < 0.01). Correlation of JADAS 71 with each single marker of DA was moderate to high in the total cohort (see Table 1). Overall, correlation with AJC, PGA and PGE was moderate to high and correlation with ESR, limited JC, parental pain and CHAQ was low to moderate in the individual subtypes. Correlation coefficients in the extended oligoarticular, rheumatoid factor negative and enthesitis related subtypes were interpreted with caution in view of low numbers. Conclusions: This study adds to the body of evidence supporting the construct validity of JADAS. JADAS correlates with other measures of DA in all ILAR subtypes in the routine clinical setting. Given the high frequency of missing ESR data, it would be useful to assess the validity of JADAS without inclusion of the ESR.

    Vinylidenebisfdiphenylphosphane) reacts with gold(I) or gold(III) compounds to give dinuclear {[{Au(C6F5)]2{(PPh2)2C= CH2J] or Au(PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P)]2(ClO4) 2) or mononuclear complexes ([Au(C6F5)3{PPh2C(=CH2)Ph 2PJ]}, respectively. The latter reacts with gold(I) or silver(I) compounds to afford dinuclear[Au(C6Fs)3|PPh2C(=CH 2)Ph2P)AuX], X = Cl or C6FS) or trinuclear species {[{Au(C6Fs)3{PPh2C{=CH2)Ph 2Pl)2M]ClO4, M = Au or AgJ. No addition of nucleophiles to the C=C double bond is observed in these complexes, which contain the diphosphane acting as bridging or monodentate ligand. (SPPri2)2C= CH2 reacts with AgCIO4 to give [Ag{SPPh2C(=CH2)Ph2PS)]2(C1O4) 2 or [Ag{PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P)2]ClO4. The crystal structure of [Au(C6Fs)3{PPh2C(=CH2)Ph2P)Au(C 6Fs)] has been established by X-ray crystallography, and confirms the expected square planar and linear geometry for the Aum and Au1 centres, respectively.
