  • Development of a Shortened Version of the Adolescent Stress Questionnaire (ASQ-S) : construct validity and sex invariance in a large sample of Swedish adolescents

    • Background: Stressor experience is an important topic of research concerning adolescent health and ill-health. For this, valid and reliable measures of adolescent stress are needed. The Adolescent Stress Questionnaire 2 was developed to tap into stressor domains specific for adolescence. Psychometric evaluations in Australian and European samples have indicated adequate psychometric properties. However, the ASQ-2 is quite extensive, which may render its use in large cohort studies, where several aspects of adolescent health are investigated, inconvenient and problematic.Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of a short version of the ASQ-2 (ASQ-S) in terms of construct validity and factorial invariance across gender.Method: The ASQ-2 was translated into Swedish and items were retained from nine of the ten scales based on factor loadings. One scale (stress of emerging adult responsibilities) was removed entirely due to low internal consistency and variance explained. The remaining 27 items were piloted and then included in an ongoing 5-year longitudinal study involving the participation of all students in the 7th and 8th grade in public schools from three Swedish municipalities (N = 2768, 47.5 % girls, mean age 13.64 years). For this study data from the first and second wave was used.Results: A nine factor Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed a good fit to the data and invariance across sexes was supported. The nine scales correlated positively with depressive symptoms, anxiety and worry and negatively with self-esteem. Girls reported higher stress levels than boys in eight of the nine scales. Stressors related to peer pressure predicted reported levels of anxiety and worry one year later, whereas stressors related to romantic relationships predicted depressive symptoms.Conclusions: Overall this study suggests that the ASQ-S could be a valid measure of adolescent stressor experience and psychometrically equivalent to the full ASQ-2.

  • A combination of two truncating mutations in USH2A causes more severe and progressive hearing impairment in Usher syndrome type IIa
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Hearing Research. - Amsterdam, Netherlands : Elsevier. - 0378-5955 .- 1878-5891. ; 339, s. 60-68
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objectives: Usher syndrome is an inherited disorder that is characterized by hearing impairment (HI), retinitis pigmentosa, and in some cases vestibular dysfunction. Usher syndrome type IIa is caused by mutations in USH2A. HI in these patients is highly heterogeneous and the present study evaluates the effects of different types of USH2A mutations on the audiometric phenotype. Data from two large centres of expertise on Usher Syndrome in the Netherlands and Sweden were combined in order to create a large combined sample of patients to identify possible genotype-phenotype correlations.Design: A retrospective study on HI in 110 patients (65 Dutch and 45 Swedish) genetically diagnosed with Usher syndrome type IIa. We used methods especially designed for characterizing and testing differences in audiological phenotype between patient subgroups. These methods included Age Related Typical Audiograms (ARTA) and a method to evaluate the difference in the degree of HI developed throughout life between subgroups.Results: Cross-sectional linear regression analysis of last-visit audiograms for the best hearing ear demonstrated a gradual decline of hearing over decades. The congenital level of HI was in the range of 16-33 dB at 0.25-0.5 kHz, and in the range of 51-60 dB at 1-8 kHz. The annual threshold deterioration was in the range of 0.4-0.5 dB/year at 0.25-2 kHz and in the range of 0.7-0.8 dB/year at 4-8 kHz. Patients with two truncating mutations, including homozygotes for the common c.2299delG mutation, developed significantly more severe HI throughout life than patients with one truncating mutation combined with one nontruncating mutation, and patients with two nontruncating mutations.Conclusions: The results have direct implications for patient counselling in terms of prognosis of hearing and may serve as baseline measures for future (genetic) therapeutic interventions.

  • International validation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Society guidelines on enhanced recovery for gynecologic surgery
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. - : Harcourt International Publishers. - 0002-9378 .- 1097-6868. ; 221:3, s. 237.e1-237.e11
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society publishes guidelines on perioperative care, but these guidelines should be validated prospectively.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association between compliance to ERAS Gynecologic/Oncology guideline elements and postoperative outcomes in an international cohort.STUDY DESIGN: The study was comprised of 2,101 patients undergoing elective gynecologic/oncology surgery between January 2011 - November 2017 in 10 hospitals across Canada, the United States and Europe. Patient demographics, surgical/anesthesia details and ERAS protocol compliance elements (pre-, intra- and post-operative phases) were entered into the ERAS Interactive Audit System. Surgical complexity was stratified according to the Aletti scoring system (low versus medium/high). The following covariates were accounted for in the analysis: age, Body Mass Index, smoking status, presence of diabetes, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, preoperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, operating time, surgical approach (open versus minimally invasive), intra-operative blood loss, hospital and ERAS implementation status. The primary end-points were primary hospital length of stay and complications. Negative binomial regression was used to model length of stay, and logistic regression to model complications, as a function of compliance score and covariates.RESULTS: Patient demographics: median age 56 years, 35.5% obese,15% smokers, 26.7% American Society of Anesthesiologists Class III-IV. Final diagnosis was malignant in 49% of patients. Laparotomy was used in 75.9% of cases, and the remainder minimally invasive surgery. The majority of cases (86%) were of low complexity (Aletti score ≤ 3). In patients with ovarian cancer, 69.5% had a medium/high complexity surgery (Aletti score 4-11). Median length of stay was 2 days in the low- and 5 days in the medium/high-complexity group. Every unit increase in ERAS guideline score was associated with 8% (IRR: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.90 - 0.95; p<0.001)) decrease in days in hospital among low-complexity, and 12% (IRR: 0.88 (95% CI: 0.82 - 0.93; p<0.001) decrease among patients with medium/high complexity scores. For every unit increase in ERAS guideline score, the odds of total complications were estimated to be 12% lower (p<0.05) among low-complexity patients.CONCLUSION: Audit of surgical practices demonstrates that improved compliance with ERAS Gynecologic/Oncology guidelines is associated with an improvement in clinical outcomes, including length of stay, highlighting the importance of ERAS implementation.
