d hence has an immense implication in the treatment of epileptic emergencies. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients experience diverse symptoms and the impact of these different symptoms varies substantially. Current disease activity measures do not account for the relative importance of the different symptoms and severity levels. In this study, we aimed to quantify the relative importance of different symptoms for IBD patients and to develop a patient preference-weighted symptom (PWS) score to assess symptom burden in IBD. We performed a choice-based conjoint analysis (CBCA) survey with 129 IBD patients to estimate the relative importance of four common IBD symptoms stool frequency, abdominal pain, blood in stools, and urgency. We then developed the PWS score using the preferences obtained from the CBCA, which we validated against existing measures. CBCA revealed that urgency was the most important symptom to patients, followed by abdominal pain and blood in stools. Urgency associated with incontinence received particularly high scores and was perceived to be more than 3 times as important as urgency without incontinence. Our results confirmed that different symptoms are not equally bothersome, and we showed that the relation between symptom-level and importance is not linear. The PWS score, which we developed using these estimates was highly correlated with existing disease activity measures. We quantified the relative importance of four common IBD symptoms and developed the PWS score for IBD, which takes the relative importance of different symptoms and symptom-levels into account. The PWS score can be used to obtain a patient-centered assessment of symptom burden.

Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are capable of capturing unobservable behaviors and feelings relating to mental health. The current study aimed to test the reliability and responsiveness to self-reported and clinician-rated change over time of Neuro-QoL and PROMIS mental health PROs over the course of a 24-month period. At baseline, 12-months, and 24-months, 362 participants with premanifest or manifest HD completed the Neuro-QoL Depression computer adaptive test (CAT), PROMIS Depression short form (SF), Neuro-QoL Anxiety CAT, PROMIS Anxiety SF, PROMIS Anger CAT and SF, Neuro-QoL Emotional/Behavioral Dyscontrol CAT and SF, Neuro-QoL Positive Affect and Well-Being CAT and SF, and Neuro-QoL Stigma CAT and SF. Participants completed several clinician-administered measures at each time point, as well as several global ratings of change at 12- and 24-months. Reliability (test-retest reliability and measurement errorThe Neuro-QoL and PROMIS mental health PROs demonstrated strong psychometric reliability, as well as responsiveness to self-reported and clinician-rated change over time in people with HD. Primary aim was to provide real-world evidence of the outcomes after the switch to glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) from other basal insulins (first or second generation) in Italy. Multicenter, observational, retrospective study based on electronic medical records. Overall, 953 T2DM insulin ± OAD treated people switched to Gla-300 or Gla-100 from January 2015 to July 2018. Three clinically relevant cohorts were identified patients switching to Gla-300 from first-generation basal insulin (cohort 1), patients switching to Gla-300 from degludec-100 (Deg-100) (cohort 2), and those switching to Gla-100 from any basal insulin (cohort 3). The three cohorts differed in terms of age, diabetes duration, and metabolic co
