Ecological study of factors associated with homicide rate variability in El Salvador, 2016.&#13;
Location and dates:&#13;
Homicide victims in El Salvador throughout 2016.&#13;
Context:&#13;
The preface provides a brief summary of the general context for this project; it is included again&#13;
here to provide an adequate overview of the study. Latin America in general, and Central America&#13;
in particular, are renowned for their epidemic levels of homicide rates. Inter-national as well as&#13;
intra-national variability in violent crimes may provide questions and answers aimed at pinpointing&#13;
key elements involved in these dynamics. It was hoped that an ecological study of municipalitylevel homicide data could provide insights to contributing factors, as well as guidance and evidence&#13;
to inform possible interventions. A group of often-reported socio-economic factors were included as&#13;
potential factors associated with the outcome.

<description>Psychosocial Stratification of Antenatal Indicators to Guide Population-Based Programs in Perinatal Depression
Wang, Andy Yi-Yang
This is a retrospective cohort study comprising of mothers of all singleton infants born in public health facilities within the Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) and South-Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD). The first stage of the analysis was to cluster the cohort into groups according to their demographic and psycho-social indicators. The goal is to discover subgroups amongst the measurements made on this population without an associated response measurement. He used latent class models for this analysis. In the second stage he conducted Supervised Statistical Learning approach for Model Building, Internal Validation and Model Interpretation.

<description>Evaluation of inpatient oxygen therapy in hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Anderson, James
High concentration oxygen therapy in patients with hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased mortality. In COPD patients at risk of hypercapnia, guidelines recommend oxygen therapy titrated to achieve oxygen saturation 88-92%. We investigated the association between adherence to guidelines and in-hospital adverse events.The study population comprised 117 patients (56% male, mean age 75 years) who experienced 161 admissions. Adverse events occurred in 39 (25%) of 157 admissions with data, comprising 12 deaths (6 had new acidosis), 16 new-onset acidosis episodes and 11 respiratory-related MET responses. Over-oxygenation occurred in 86% of admissions. The oxygen target was specified for 82% of admissions. Without oxygen target specification, 11/29 (38%) had adverse outcomes compared to 22% when specified. Duration of exposure to over-oxygenation was associated with adverse outcomes (p=0.001). Compared to the reference category (&lt;24hrs), exposure for ≥4 days markedly increased odds of an adverse outcome (OR: 8.9; 95%CI: 2.6-30.5) after adjusting for age and Charlson comorbidity index. Adherence to guideline oxygen therapy in COPD inpatients is suboptimal. Over-oxygenation is common and is independently associated with in-hospital adverse events. This study reinforces the critical importance of accurate titrated oxygen delivery in hypercapnic COPD inpatients.

<description>Hospital Outcomes in Older People with Diabetes
Smerdely, Peter
Given there is little data about hospital outcome in people with diabetes aged beyond 75, this study aimed to explore the association of diabetes with hospital outcome of patients aged greater than 85 years (85+) and compare their outcomes with those aged between 65 and 85 years. A retrospective review was conducted of the first presentation of patients age 65 years or more admitted to a Sydney teaching hospital over a 5 year period (2012-2017) exploring the outcomes of length of stay, mortality, the development of hospital acquired adverse events and unplanned re-admission to hospital within 28 days of discharge. Demographic and outcome data, the presence of diabetes and co-morbidities was determined from ICD10 coding within the hospital’s electronic medical record. Logistic, negative binomial and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess association of diabetes with outcome. Of the 26673 people, 25.7% had diabetes. When compared to people without diabetes aged 85+, diabetes was not associated with increased length of stay (p=0.312), hospital acquired adverse events (p=0.374) or unplanned readmission (p=0.889). Further, people with diabetes had lower rates of mortality than those without diabetes in the 85 + years group (5.2% V 7.1%, p=0.003). Similarly, hazard ratios were significantly higher in the non-diabetic group (2.6 V 3.7, p=0.006). Diabetes has not been shown to have a negative impact on mortality, length of stay, hospital acquired adverse events and readmission in people aged 85 + years.

<description>Prognostic significance of FXYD-3 in Patients who underwent resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases
Bhimani, Nazim
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in Australia and approximately 50% of these patients will eventually develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) [1-3]. Many organs such as the breast, pancreas, lung, stomach and rectum have varying expression levels of FXYD-3. There are conflicting results from studies examining the relationship between FXYD-3 expression and CRC, and to date there have been no studies on the expression of FXYD-3 in CRLM. Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of FXYD-3 expression in patients with primary CRC and those that develop CRLM, and determine if FXYD-3 expression is associated with survival after resection of CRLM.

<description>Student’s Self-Efficacy in Numeracy and Skill Performance in first year: The SYNAPSE-STARS Project
Villarosa, Amy
In June 2017, a group of academics at the Western Sydney University School of Nursing and Midwifery commenced a research project looking at undergraduate nursing students’ experiences in an introductory unit to medication administration. They sought to explore the relationship between numeracy and clinical skills self-efficacy and undergraduate students’ performance in respective numeracy and clinical skills assessments of this unit. To complete my workplace project portfolio, I was involved as part of this research team to assist with data analysis.

<description>Evaluating the success of a workplace health and wellbeing intervention using a small group of repeat-respondents from a large repeated cross-sectional survey
Chappell, Kate
The Healthy@Work intervention in the Tasmanian State Service was responsible for increased availability of and participation in health and wellbeing activities, but there was little evidence of improvement in health-related factors for this group of respondents over the three year period of this study. Changes in the health-related factors were expected outcomes of the intervention but a study duration of just three years is possibly too short to allow change to be manifest.

<description>Estimation of transfers of care in planned homebirths using decision analytic modelling
Nathan, Elizabeth
This project addresses Aim (3) and was designed to estimate antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum transfer rates based on the population of low risk women who planned hospital birth and who were eligible for planned homebirth. Decision analytic modelling was used to construct a pregnancy model using data for low risk planned metropolitan hospital births from 2011 to 2013, in accordance with changes in guidelines for homebirth released by WA Health in 2011 [2]. The pregnancy model previously developed by Doherty et al. (2009) was constructed to model pregnancy outcomes using maternal characteristics and pregnancy complications predictive of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The accuracy of the simulated pregnancy outcomes were evaluated by comparison with observed data. A large hypothetical dataset was generated with characteristics and events that reflected the homebirth population [4]. The model facilitated the evaluation of pregnancy outcomes and transfers in homebirth women and will enable future comparisons of observed and expected rates of obstetric interventions, adverse outcomes and transfers.

<description>Comparison of pregnancy outcomes between planned homebirth and planned hospital birth in WA, 2002-2013
Nathan, Elizabeth
This project addresses Aim (2) and was designed to compare morbidity and mortality between planned homebirth and planned hospital birth in WA, 2002-2013, while accounting for patient characteristics, levels of risk at onset of labour and changes in policy and governance. Evidence suggests homebirth is a safe model of maternity care for women considered low risk at the onset of labour. To account for the increase in adverse outcomes associated with increased obstetric risk at the onset of labour, four levels of obstetric risk were created and assigned to each birth. Risk levels were defined according to the presence or absence of medical conditions (pre-existing or during pregnancy) or obstetric complications that could influence pregnancy outcomes. Confounding factors were established apriori and adjusted for in the analysis of all maternal and neonatal outcomes. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression modelling was performed on maternal and neonatal outcomes and compared between planned hospital and planned homebirths at each risk level. Low medical and obstetric risk hospital births were used as the reference level in all models.

<description>Clinical phenotypes associated with impaired response to treatment in children with acute asthma
Minaee, Noviani
Asthma comprises inflammation of the airways, characterised by reversible airways obstruction, airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) and bronchial spasm (Dougherty &amp; Fahy, 2009). Asthma, particularly childhood asthma, is a National Health Priority costing Australia &gt;$606 million annually. First symptoms of asthma usually occur during the first few years of childhood. Of those, a large proportion of children become symptom free by the time they reach school age and the rest continue to develop persistent asthma throughout childhood (Martinez &amp; Vercelli, 2013). This project aims to predict the treatment response by identifying a specific group of children with acute wheezing and asthma who do not respond the treatment well and are likely to relapse and re-present to hospital. The recurrence of hospital presentations was further examined to see whether it is associated with specific asthma phenotypes and potential risk factors.
This project is part of a larger study titled “Mechanisms of Acute Viral Respiratory Infection in Children (MAVRIC)”. It is a prospective study of the role of viruses and immunogenetic risk profiles for viral infections. My project's aim is to identify distinct phenotypic groups using cluster analysis and to explore the association between those identified clusters both with asthma candidate genes and with a susceptibility to human rhinovirus. The acute asthma cohort from the MAVRIC study provides a unique opportunity to investigate this research question.

<title>Predictors of CD4 cell count response to first-line combination antiretroviral treatment among HIV-positive adult patients from the Asia-Pacific region</title>

<description>Predictors of CD4 cell count response to first-line combination antiretroviral treatment among HIV-positive adult patients from the Asia-Pacific region
De La Mata, Nicole
The introduction of combination antiretroviral treatment (ART) has had substantial impact on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic [1, 2]. Patients responding to ART have reduced HIV viral replication and lower rates of HIV-associated morbidity, mortality and AIDS-related events [3-5]. Recommendations on when to initiate ART is largely based upon the CD4 T lymphocyte cell count [6-10]. The CD4 T lymphocyte cell is generally regarded as an indicator of immune deficiency and used as a prognostic marker of HIV disease progression [11-13]. Early World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines recommended ART initiation when patients were at an advanced stage of HIV or in asymptomatic stages of HIV with a CD4 cell count below 200cells/μL [6]. However, recent research has suggested that initiating ART at higher CD4 cell count levels has greater benefits in preventing further disease progression, further HIV transmission and reduced occurrence of opportunistic infections [14-17]. Although ideal, earlier ART initiation has been difficult to implement, particularly in low-income or resource-limited countries, as it requires patients to access health care facilities to receive HIV testing and diagnosis at early stages of disease progression [18, 19]. The Asia Pacific region retains a heavy burden of the HIV epidemic, with close to 5 million people living with HIV in 2013 [20, 21]. Despite an increasing push towards earlier initiation of ART, barriers to receiving care have contributed to the inability of many HIV-positive patients, within the Asia-Pacific region, to be diagnosed and initiate ART at higher CD4 cell count levels [22, 23]. In 2012, UNAIDS estimates for the Asia-Pacific region indicated that the number of people accessing ART has increased yet, the treatment coverage rate remains lower than the global average at 51% and a majority of people living with HIV are not diagnosed [21]. Patients presenting with CD4 cell counts &lt;200 cells/μL require longer periods of time to fully restore CD4 cell count levels which increases there susceptibility to treatment failure and death [23]. Other factors, such as previous exposure to mono/duo therapy and older age, are also known to hinder CD4 restoration [24, 25]. The study objective is to examine the CD4 cell count response to first-line ART among HIV-positive patients from the TREAT Asia HIV Observational database low intensity transfer (TAHOD-LITE). Factors associated with mean CD4 cell count at 12 months will also be evaluated. Study findings will be useful for guiding decision making in future programs addressing the HIV-epidemic in the Asia-Pacific region.
This project utilized observational data on HIV-positive patients that was previously collected for the TREAT Asia HIV Observational Databases Low Intensity Transfer (TAHOD-LITE). The study objective was to evaluate the predictors associated with CD4 cell count changes from combination antiretroviral treatment initiation for those who had sought care in 2010-13. The intention was to determine whether certain treatment related and demographic factors could contribute to improved CD4 cell count restoration.
