Tacrolimus is increasingly used as a baseline immunosuppressant after renal transplantation. This multicentre study assessed healthrelated quality of life and symptom experience in renal transplant patients on tacrolimus-based therapy, using the SF-36 and Euroqol 5 dimensions (EQ-SD) and the 'modified transplant symptom occurrence and symptom distress scale', respectively. Symptoms of depression were assessed with the short form of the Beck Depression Inventory and physical activity with the Baecke questionnaire. Overall, 350 patients with a median post-transplant status of 16.7 months were enrolled. Results revealed that patients experienced lower SF-36 scores than the general population, except in terms of bodily pain. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that a higher degree of depressive symptoms and female gender were consistently related to a health status perceived as being worse and a higher rate of symptom experience. These findings are in accordance with previous quality-of-life reports that assessed patients under various immunosuppressive therapies. Therefore, interventions, including the screening and treatment for depression and the addressing of gender-specific issues, can enhance quality of life.

“…Baseline characteristics of the two treatment groups were compared by a Student's f-test or Chi-squared test, as appropriate. The distribution of clinical response (cured, improved, failed) for the two treatment groups was compared by Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel statistics based on Ridit scores (Bross, 1958), with 95% confidence intervals for clinical success rates (cure plus improvement). Between group differences were considered to be significant if P < 0-05.…”

A total of 389 children (age 0-6-102 years) with typical signs and symptoms of acute otitis media were randomized (1:1) to treatment with either azithromycin or coamoxiclav. The dosage schedule for azithromycin was 10 mg/kg/day, in a single daily dose, administered for three days. Co-amoxiclav was given at a dose of 13-3 mg/kg (amoxycillin equivalent) tid for ten days. Patients were evaluated 4-6 days and 12-16 days after the start of therapy. A satisfactory clinical response was reported for 93-2% of the 192 evaluable azithromycin-treated patients (144 cured, 35 improved), and for 97-3% of the 189 evaluable co-amoxiclav-treated patients (148 cured, 36 improved). Six (3-0%) relapses occurred in the azithromycin group, and four (21%) in the co-amoxiclav treatment group, respectively. Side-effects were recorded in a significantly fewer number of the azithromycin patients (23 of 197; 11 -7%) compared with the co-amoxiclav patients (43 of 192; 22-4%, P < 0-02). Adverse events were mainly gastrointestinal in nature, with diarrhoea the most frequent complaint (32 cases with co-amoxiclav; five with azithromycin; P < 0-001). One patient from each group discontinued therapy because of treatment-related adverse events. Laboratory analyses (mainly haematologjcal in nature) showed abnormalities in six of 100 azithromycin patients and ten of 101 co-amoxiclav patients. It was concluded that three-day, single-dose azithromycin and ten-day tid co-amoxiclav therapy have comparable clinical efficacy in paediatric patients with acute otitis media; however, there was a lower incidence of side effects in the azithromycin group.

The Effect of Changing Scores for Multi-way Tables with Open-ended Ordered Categories

Log-linear models are used to analyze the contingency tables. If the variables are ordinal or interval, because the score values affect both the model significance and parameter estimates, selection of score values has importance. Sometimes an interval variable contains open-ended categories as the first or last category. While the variable has openended classes, estimates of the lowermost and/or uppermost values of distribution must be handled carefully. In that case, the unknown values of first and last classes can be estimated firstly, and then the score values can be calculated. In the previous studies, the unknown boundaries were estimated by using interquartile range (IQR). In this study, we suggested interdecile range (IDR), interpercentile range (IPR), and the mid-distance range (MDR) as alternatives to IQR to detect the effects of score values on model parameters.
