Predictors of Treatment Failure in Children With HIV Starting First-line Antiretroviral Therapy in the ODYSSEY Trial.

BACKGROUND: Data on predictors of treatment failure in children starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) are limited, particularly on dolutegravir-based regimens (DTG). METHODS: ODYSSEY demonstrated superior efficacy of DTG versus standard-of-care (SOC). We assessed predictors at ART initiation of treatment failure by 96 weeks. RESULTS: Three hundred and eighty-one children started first-line ART (82% African). At ART-initiation, median age was 10.5 years (IQR: 6.5, 14.0, 67 < 3 years), CD4% 20% (IQR: 12, 28), BMI-for-age Z-score -.58 (IQR:-1.48, +.25). One hundred and eighty-nine children started DTG, 192 started SOC (91% ≥3 years started efavirenz; 79% <3 years started lopinavir). Seventy-five children experienced treatment failure (24 DTG, 51 SOC). Failure risk was lower on DTG than SOC (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.29-0.77, P = .002). Lower BMI-for-age Z-score (HR = 0.82 for each unit gain, 95% CI: 0.70-0.96, P = .01) and being at an African site (HR = 2.09, 95% CI: 0.82-5.31, P = .09) were associated with higher failure risk. Risk was also higher at younger ages with the steepest increase in the youngest children and increased at lower CD4%, with a stronger CD4% effect at younger ages. At CD4% = 20, HRs relative to age 10 years were 2.40 (95% CI: 1.58-3.65) at age 1 year, 1.30 (95% CI: 1.15-1.48) at age 5 years, and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72-0.89) at age 18 years. At age 1 year, HRs relative to CD4% = 20 were 1.39 (95% CI: 1.16-1.66) at CD4% = 15, and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.36-0.75) at CD4% = 30; at age 10, corresponding estimates were 1.07 (95% CI: 0.94-1.20) at CD4% = 15, and 0.88 (95% CI: 0.69-1.13) at CD4% = 30. CONCLUSIONS: Young age, low BMI-for-age, and low CD4% at ART initiation predicted higher risk of treatment failure and can guide targeted support.

Postoperative chemoradiotherapy in Wilms tumor with concurrent lung and lymph node metastasis.

BACKGROUND: An effective treatment strategy is essential for metastatic Wilms tumor (WT) management. To improve prognostic accuracy, this study examined metastatic patterns and key prognostic factors. METHODS: Children diagnosed with WT from 2010 to 2021 were identified from the SEER database. All patients underwent chemotherapy and surgical resection. Metastatic patterns, metastasis-related predictors, and prognostic factors were evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 1040 patients analyzed, 226 (21.7%) experienced lung metastasis, 31 (3.0%) liver metastasis, 6 (0.6%) bone metastasis, and 220 (21.2%) regional lymph node metastasis. Distant metastasis was associated with a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.506, 95% CI 1.346-1.685, p < 0.001). Age 3-17 years (OR = 1.933, 95% CI 1.406-2.680, p < 0.001), left-sided (OR = 1.383, 95% CI 1.016-1.890, p = 0.040), bilateral (OR = 2.303, 95% CI 1.215-4.243, p = 0.009), and tumor size ≥135 mm (OR = 2.020, 95% CI 1.481-2.749, p < 0.001) were identified as predictors of metastasis. Both lymph node (p < 0.001) and lung metastasis (p < 0.001) were high-risk factors for WT. Radiotherapy provided long-term survival benefits for the metastatic population (p = 0.027), while postoperative chemotherapy showed better outcomes than preoperative or other strategies (p < 0.001). Further analysis demonstrated that the concurrent lung and lymph node metastasis group benefited more from postoperative chemoradiotherapy, with HRs of 0.226 (p = 0.028) for overall survival and 0.255 (p = 0.048) for cancer-specific survival. CONCLUSION: WT with concurrent lung and lymph node metastasis represents a distinct and aggressive metastatic phenotype associated with a significantly poor prognosis. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy may provide superior survival benefits for this high-risk population.

Risk Factors for Long-Term Health-Related Quality-of-Life and Mental Health Outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to long-term disability, including persistent mental health issues and lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Early interventions can improve recovery, but because resources limit routine monitoring of all patients, trauma care remains largely symptom-driven. The combination of long-term disability and limited capacity for routine follow-up highlights the need for risk-stratified follow-up care and reliable evidence on early prognostic factors. However, the existing literature is sparse and methodologically heterogeneous, limiting the clinical applicability of findings. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify early risk factors for poorer long-term mental health and HRQoL outcomes. A systematic search of seven electronic databases identified studies of adult patients with TBI, with outcomes assessed at least 6 months postdischarge. Two authors independently screened the studies, assessed the risk of bias, and extracted the data. We pooled effect estimates using a random-effects meta-analysis and calculated 95% prediction intervals. A narrative synthesis was applied when meta-analysis was not feasible. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024576912) and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Of the 8,104 articles screened, 64 studies met the inclusion criteria (n = 334,672). Most studies (58%) had a low risk of bias. Female sex, socioeconomic disadvantage, psychiatric history, assaultive-related injuries, and previous TBI were consistently associated with worse long-term outcomes. Across meta-analyses, assault-related injuries more than doubled the odds of post-traumatic stress disorder (odds ratio [OR] = 2.72; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.01-3.66, I2 = 0%). Higher odds were also observed among females (OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.11-1.59, I2 = 0%), individuals with prior TBI (OR = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.07-2.27, I2 = 0%), and those with psychiatric history (OR = 2.38; 95% CI: 1.83-3.10, I2 = 48%). We found that female sex (OR = 1.72; 95% CI: 1.38-2.16, I2 = 58%), prior TBI (OR = 1.52; 95% CI: 1.25-1.85, I2 = 0%), and psychiatric history (OR = 3.25; 95%CI: 1.86-5.69, I2 = 98%) were associated with higher odds of depression. Furthermore, higher pooled anxiety scores were observed in females and in individuals with a psychiatric history. The study identified several readily available factors present before or at discharge that are associated with poor long-term HRQoL and mental health outcomes. Leveraging these factors in follow-up protocols, prediction modeling, and clinical decision support systems may facilitate risk-stratified postdischarge care for TBI patients.

Predictors of Efficacy Maintenance After Vunakizumab Discontinuation in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Efficacy cannot be maintained in some psoriasis patients after biological discontinuation. This study aimed to explore predictors of efficacy maintenance after vunakizumab discontinuation in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: This post hoc analysis used data from a phase III trial (NCT04839016); 291 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who achieved 100% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at Week 52 were enrolled. Efficacy maintenance was defined as patients who maintained PASI 90 or PASI 100 after 20 weeks of vunakizumab discontinuation. RESULTS: There were 44.7% and 72.5% of patients with PASI 100 and PASI 90 maintenance, respectively. In the multivariate logistic regression model, body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] = 0.922, p = 0.024) and treatment interruption (OR = 0.550, p = 0.020) were independently associated with a lower possibility of PASI 100 maintenance; however, the association of family history of psoriasis and the first time of PASI 100 achievement with PASI 100 maintenance did not achieve statistical significance. Duration of psoriasis (OR = 0.972, p = 0.049) and treatment interruption (OR = 0.257, p < 0.001) were independently associated with a lower possibility of PASI 90 maintenance. Two nomograms for predicting PASI 90 and PASI 100 maintenance were constructed based on the multivariate models, which disclosed good calibration performance. CONCLUSIONS: PASI 90 and PASI 100 maintenance rates are 72.5% and 44.7% after 20 weeks of vunakizumab discontinuation in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. BMI, treatment interruption, and duration of psoriasis predict a lower possibility of efficacy maintenance after vunakizumab discontinuation.
