To characterize the use of olodaterol and indacaterol in clinical practice and to quantify the off-label use in asthma
Drug utilization study of new users of olodaterol or indacaterol between 2014 and 2017 in the PHARMO Database Network in the Netherlands
and the IMS Real-World Evidence Longitudinal Patient Database panels in France
On-label use was defined as use among adults with a recorded diagnosis of COPD
Off-label use was defined as use among adults with a recorded diagnosis of asthma without a recorded diagnosis of COPD or as use among patients aged ≤18 years
Potential off-label use was defined as no recorded diagnosis of either COPD or asthma
The study included 4,158 new users of olodaterol and 9,966 new users of indacaterol
Prevalence of off-label use ranged from 3.5% for both drugs to 12.4% for olodaterol and 11.9% for indacaterol
Prevalence of on-label use ranged from 47.8% to 77.7% for olodaterol and from 28.7% to 70.1% for indacaterol
The remaining new users of olodaterol and indacaterol were classified as potential off-label users
with prevalence ranging from 17.3% to 48.6% for olodaterol and from 20.5% to 66.6% for indacaterol
This study provides no evidence of a major concern in Europe for olodaterol or indacaterol for off-label use in asthma or for pediatric use
The main objectives of the study were to describe the baseline characteristics of patients initiating on olodaterol and to quantify off-label use of olodaterol to treat asthma in three countries in Europe
To provide a meanin gful context for the results
we also describe characteristics and off-label use of indacaterol
the other LABA not indicated to treat asthma
The IMS RWE LPD panels include EMRs from routine clinical practice from a subset of GPs (GP panel) and pulmonologist (Pulmonologist panel) in France
The study period started on the date of olodaterol launch in each country and ended on the latest date the data were available at the time of each final data extraction
The study periods included in the final data extraction for each data source were from March 1
in PHARMO and the Danish population registers and from October 1
The time periods vary by data source due to time lag in availability of data to researchers
The study was carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations
The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and by the scientific and ethic committees required by each database
The need for informed consent was waived by the IRB
Patients were included in the study if they fulfilled all the following criteria: (1) received a first prescription/dispensing for single-agent formulations of olodaterol or indacaterol during the study period (new users
with no prescriptions/dispensings ever before) and (2) had at least 12 months of continuous enrolment in the study health care databases preceding the index date
the date of the first prescription/dispensing for olodaterol or indacaterol
Because the study aimed to assess the use of olodaterol and indacaterol in regular clinical practice
individuals with missing or implausible (e.g.
age over 120 years) values for age or sex were excluded
Review of a sample of 100 patient profiles
per drug in each data source was performed to confirm the appropriate performance of the algorithm to identify COPD and asthma
and that the appropriate time windows were being used
New users of olodaterol and new users of indacaterol were characterized at the index date according to demographic variables (age and sex), lifestyle characteristics as available in each data source (Supplemental Table 3) (smoking
respiratory and nonrespiratory comorbidities
Covariates were ascertained based on all information available before the index date
except for comedications and COPD severity that were ascertained up to one year before index date
The main analysis estimated the prevalence of off-label use among new users of olodaterol and indacaterol during the overall study period in each data source
Data describing the medical history and comedications of the study population are presented as counts
All data sources followed a common protocol and analysis plan
and analysis were performed using SAS version 9.2 or higher
All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards
based exclusively on routinely collected data
The study included 4,158 new users of olodaterol and 9,966 new users of indacaterol (Fig. 1) across the three countries. Among users of olodaterol or indacaterol, the main reason for exclusion was not being a new user.
Number of users of olodaterol and indacaterol before and after fulfilling inclusion/exclusion criteria in each data source
The median age ranged from 63 years (IMS RWE LPD GP panel) to 71 years (Denmark) in new users of olodaterol and ranged from 63 years (IMS RWE LPD GP panel) to 69 years (Denmark) in new users of indacaterol (Table 1)
the proportion of females and males among new users of olodaterol and indacaterol was close to 50% in all data sources except in the IMS RWE LPD pulmonologist panel
where 64.6% of the new users of olodaterol and 66.9% of the new users of indacaterol were males
a high proportion of patients had no information recorded on lifestyle characteristics
Among patients with recorded information on smoking history
the proportion of those who were current smokers was around 50% in PHARMO-GP and in the IMS RWE LPD GP panel and was higher in the IMS RWE LPD pulmonologist panel
which reported that 90.7% of the new users of olodaterol and 72.2% of the new users of indacaterol were current smokers
There was incomplete recording of obesity in all data sources
In the subset of patients in PHARMO-GP for whom information on obesity was available (72.8% of those new users of olodaterol and 64.6% among new users of indacaterol)
the proportion of overweight or obese patients was 66.1% among new users of olodaterol and was 66.7% among new users of indacaterol
The proportion of patients with a recorded diagnosis of alcohol-related disorders was below 10% in all health care databases for both olodaterol and indacaterol new users
In general, prescriptions/dispensings for respiratory and nonrespiratory medications in the year before the index date were more frequent among new users of olodaterol than among new users of indacaterol in all data sources (Table 2)
The most frequent prescription/dispensing for respiratory medications in the year before the index date among new users of olodaterol and indacaterol was LAMA
The most frequent prescriptions/dispensings for nonrespiratory medications among new users of olodaterol and indacaterol were
Severity of COPD among new users of olodaterol and indacaterol aged 40 years or older with COPD in PHARMO overall, PHARMO-GP, and in Denmark is presented in Table 3
The proportion of patients aged 40 years or older with severe or very severe COPD was lowest in PHARMO-GP and highest in Denmark
ranging from 41.7% (PHARMO-GP) to 67.1% (Denmark) among new users of olodaterol and from 42.5% (PHARMO-GP) to 53.0% (PHARMO overall) among new users of indacaterol
on-label and potential off-label use in new users of olodaterol and indacaterol
the prevalence of off-label use of olodaterol and indacaterol was only somewhat higher in the IMS RWE LPD GP panel (12.4% for olodaterol and 11.9% for indacaterol)
No notable differences in off-label use were observed between olodaterol and indacaterol
Even in health care data sources with access to primary care data
recording may be incomplete when recording is not mandatory for the GPs
Incomplete recording is also supported by the fact that the proportion of patients classified as having “probable COPD” is high in all data sources
but higher in data sources with no primary care data
Use of olodaterol and indacaterol among patients with asthma only (and no COPD) is expected to be limited to patients who have failed to experience symptom improvement with other LABAs
who may find presentation dosage or device to be less convenient
or who have had drug substance-specific adverse events or contraindications
Routinely collected data used in this study do not specifically record indication for use or patient preference; therefore
the reported level of off-label use is at least partially attributable to the limitations of the data sources
we cannot completely rule out potential misclassification of COPD as asthma
although it is less likely that true asthma was misclassified as COPD
it is expected that use of olodaterol and indacaterol among patients with asthma only is done with concomitant use of ICS
although this was not evaluated in our study

The development tournament will feature some unique rules
All the matches in the tournament will consist of 40-minute halves and if the score is tied at the end of regulation
teams will go directly to penalty kicks to decide the winner
with three points awarded for a win in regulation
two points awarded for a win in penalty kicks and one point for a loss in penalties
Each team is allowed nine substitutes during a match
but no more than three stoppages per team to make subs are allowed during the second half
the tournament will utilize an experimental “Sin Bin” system for players that commit “temporary dismissal offences.” Red and yellow cards are issued in accordance with the Laws of the Game
The temporary dismissal is only to be used when the referee would have issued a yellow card for any of the following offences:
A player who has been temporarily dismissed is allowed to return to her team’s technical area and cannot be substituted for an eight-minute temporary dismissal period
A goalkeeper is treated in the same way as field players
A player who commits a second temporary dismissal offence in the match will receive a second eight-minute temporary dismissal and
must be substituted and can not play again in the match
+READ: U.S. U-16 Girls National Team wins Torneo delle Nazioni title
Temporary dismissals and ‘other’ yellow cards are not combined
if a player who has been temporarily dismissed
returns to the field and then receives a yellow card
a player who has received a yellow card and then commits a temporary dismissal offence is not sent off
To underline the development nature of the tournaments
each player must play at least 80 minutes across the three matches and UEFA recommends that each player should play no more than 120 minutes over two consecutive games

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a disaster preparedness training programme in a Paediatric Emergency Department (PED).
A quasi-experimental study was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire that was distributed to health care providers of a PED in a tertiary paediatric hospital. The questions concerned the disaster plan (DP), including theoretical and practical aspects. Questionnaires were distributed and completed in January 2014 (period 1) and November 2014 (period 2). The disaster training programme includes theoretical and practical sessions.
The training programme improved some knowledge about the disaster plan, but it has not improved responses in practical situations, which may be due to the low attendance at practical sessions and the time between the training programme and the questionnaires.
Analizar la eficacia de un programa formativo sobre catástrofes en un Servicio de Urgencias Pediátricas (SUP).
Estudio cuasiexperimental mediante encuestas dirigidas al personal sanitario del SUP de un hospital pediátrico de tercer nivel. Se evalúan aspectos teóricos y prácticos del plan de catástrofes (PC). Las encuestas son cumplimentadas en 2 periodos (periodo 1, enero del 2014, y periodo 2, noviembre del 2014), entre los cuales se realiza una formación con sesiones teóricas y situaciones clínicas.
La aplicación de una formación sobre catástrofes ha mejorado algunos conocimientos del personal, pero no ha mejorado las respuestas en las situaciones clínicas planteadas, posiblemente influenciado por la baja asistencia a las sesiones prácticas y el tiempo transcurrido entre la formación y la encuesta.
A disaster is any situation or event that overwhelms local response resources, and usually produces severe damage, destruction and human suffering.1–3 The impact of disasters is particularly severe in the field of paediatric emergency medicine, as children are more vulnerable and at greater risk of experiencing dehydration, infection and multiple trauma.1,4
it is essential that paediatric emergency departments (PEDs) and their personnel be properly prepared to manage these situations
can result in substantial morbidity and mortality in the population
Such preparedness involves a broad range of elements: availability of materials
Several studies, most of them conducted outside of Spain, warn of a lack of disaster preparedness.4,6,8,9 In Spain, many PEDs do have disaster plans in place, but they are usually not up to date and are not generally known by the staff.10
The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy of a disaster preparedness training programme in a PED
We conducted a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study by means of a survey of health care workers in which the training programme was the intervention
The study took place in a tertiary paediatric hospital that receives approximately 100,000 visits a year and is the reference hospital for patients with multiple trauma
The hospital has a disaster plan (DP) that was updated in 2013 and the PED is equipped with a disaster kit to be opened by the staff in case the DP is activated
The target population of our study was the collective of health care workers that regularly staffs the PED (125 individuals)
including nursing staff (nurse assistants and registered nurses [RNs]) and doctors in the specialties of paediatric emergency medicine
We conducted the study over two time periods (period 1
in November 2014) and the training programme took place between the two (April 2014)
the researchers asked the health care staff to fill out the paper-based questionnaire anonymously
and no reward was offered for participating
The training programme consisted of one theoretical session that explained the hospital's DP and two three-hour-long practical sessions in which various disaster-related clinical scenarios were discussed in small groups to put the DP into practice (victim triage
The questionnaire was written in Spanish and based on the published literature,11 and comprised 20 multiple-answer questions (Appendix 1)
It included:–Demographic data of the health care worker (sex
Five theoretical questions about the external disaster plan
Ten practical questions that presented clinical situations in disaster scenarios requiring the application of the DP and that assessed aspects such as victim triage
Two personal questions that asked about the perceived importance of the training and whether the respondent felt prepared to respond to a disaster
To score the answers for the ten practical questions
each correct answer was graded with one point and each incorrect answer with zero points
which were added up to obtain the total score for practical knowledge (minimum score
We collected 110 questionnaires in period 1 (88% response rate) and 80 in period 2 (64% response rate). Table 1 shows the demographic data of the respondents
Sixty percent of the staff that filled out the questionnaire in period 1 had never undergone disaster training of any kind
Eighty percent of respondents in period 2 had completed the questionnaire in period 1
71.3% had attended the theoretical session and 43.8% had participated in the practical sessions
Thirty percent of respondents in period 2 had completed the full training
we observed significant differences in the awareness of the existence of a DP (77.1% vs
and knowing where to find the DP (52.77% vs
we also observed a significant increase in the number of staff that were aware of its existence (53.6% vs
72.5%; P=.008) and that knew where to find it in the PED (33.6% vs
When it came to the responsibilities of the shift manager
33.6% of the health care workers knew them in period 1
We did not observe a significant improvement in the mean score obtained in the practical questions from period 1 to period 2 (5.8/10 vs
We also did not find a statistically significant difference between the answers given in each period for any of the 10 practical questions when we analysed each of them separately
The staff felt better prepared to face a disaster after participating in the training programme (15.5% vs
41.8%; P<.001) and 98.8% stated that training on this subject is important
the training programme succeeded in improving certain knowledge areas in the staff
mostly concerning theoretical aspects of the DP
the application of this theoretical knowledge to the proposed clinical scenarios did not improve
so the results we obtained were not entirely satisfactory
the time elapsed between training and the survey was six months
so participants may have forgotten some of what they had learned; on the other hand
less than half of the staff attended the practical sessions and those that did not were unable to put the DP into practice; last of all
the training programme did not include simulation exercises
such as drills in the PED or virtual simulations
In addition to the limitations inherent in any survey-based study
our assessment of the outcomes of the training programme may be biased for lack of a control group consisting of individuals with no training
We also were unable to compare the performance of the staff that participated in the training programme with that of staff that did not participate
as the surveys were filled out anonymously
so its results must be interpreted with caution
the high dropout rate between the two periods may be a significant source of bias
as the interest in disaster training of respondents in period 2 is probably greater
the implementation of a specific training programme on disaster preparedness improved some of the knowledge of health care workers
but was not associated with an improvement in answers given to hypothetical clinical situations they were presented with
and giving incentives for staff participation

Barcelona
the guy had the nerve to steal the iconic modernista Muy Buenas sign
the glass room divider and the entire stretch of the bar
The City Council managed to get everything back and it all ended up in pieces on the ground for a year
