The link between immigrant status, a key social determinant of health, and kidney disease remains uncertain. To evaluate this, we compared incident adverse kidney outcomes between immigrants and non-immigrants using Canadian provincial health administrative data. We conducted a population-based observational cohort study of all adult Ontario residents (immigrants and non-immigrants) with normal baseline kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 70 mL/min/1.73m² or more). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression modeling was used to evaluate the relationship between immigrant status and the composite adverse kidney outcome of 40% eGFR decline or kidney failure. The study cohort included 10,440,210 individuals with 22% immigrants and 78% non-immigrants. The mean (Standard Deviation) age and eGFR were 45 (17) years and 102 (16) mL/min/1.73m², respectively. Immigrants experienced a 27% lower hazard for the composite adverse kidney outcome (adjusted hazard ratio 0.73 [95% Confidence Interval 0.72-0.74]) compared to non-immigrants which was primarily driven by 40% eGFR decline. However, immigrants also experienced a 12% lower hazard for incident kidney failure (0.88 [0.84-0.93]) compared to non-immigrants. Results were consistent upon accounting for the competing risk of death and adjusting for baseline albuminuria. As has been demonstrated with other chronic diseases, these novel findings suggest that a “healthy immigrant effect” also extends to kidney disease. Differential kidney disease outcomes were identified among immigrants based on refugee status and world region of origin which may inform health policy decision-making toward targeted screening strategies and more cost-effective resource allocation for immigrant populations. © 2025 International Society of Nephrology

Objectives Despite global efforts, pneumococcal vaccination uptake among older adults remains significantly low. Previous literature suggests that vaccine promotion by healthcare workers plays an essential role in uptake. We conducted a systematic review to examine healthcare workers' current practices, and to identify capability, opportunity, and motivation factors regarding pneumococcal vaccination for older adults. Methods A search of both quantitative and qualitative studies was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Global Health, AgeLine, and Scopus databases and in the grey literature to identify relevant published studies from inception to November 2, 2023, with no language restrictions. The Joanna-Briggs Institute methodology for mixed-methods systematic reviews was used (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023480576). Studies conducted on healthcare workers related to pneumococcal vaccination in older adults (65 years and older) were included. The quality of studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool for the quantitative and mixed-methods studies and the Critical Appraisal Skills programme Tool for qualitative studies. In addition, we used the convergent integrated and segregated approach to synthesize proportions and relevant themes. Results We included 42 studies (38 quantitative and four qualitative), of which 20 evaluated factors related to current practice, 27 capability, 24 opportunity, and 28 motivations. Our review findings suggest that practices varied considerably. However, most health providers knew about pneumococcal vaccination and had a positive attitude/perception toward it. Common barriers to pneumococcal vaccination in older adults included finances (e.g., high cost to patients/system), logistics (e.g., insufficient time/information), availability of information (e.g., insufficient education/campaigns), patient-related (e.g., hesitancy/refusal), and system factors (e.g., unclear guidelines/recommendations).

Objectives: To update SPIRIT 2013 and CONSORT 2010 reporting guidelines. Methods: For SPIRIT 2025, a comprehensive review process incorporating scoping reviews, expert consultations, and a Delphi survey led to a revised checklist. CONSORT 2025 underwent a similar update, addressing methodological advancements and user feedback gathered through scoping reviews, expert consultations, and a Delphi survey. Results: Key changes include the addition of two new items, revisions to five, and the deletion or merging of five, alongside a new Open Science section. Emphasis on harm assessment, intervention description, and patient/public involvement has also been strengthened. The SPIRIT 2025 statement provides a 34-item checklist, a schedule diagram, and an expanded checklist with explanations. Similarly, seven new items were added, three revised, and one deleted, with content integrated from existing CONSORT extensions. A new Open Science section was also incorporated. The CONSORT 2025 statement offers a 30-item checklist, a flow diagram, and a detailed explanatory checklist. Conclusion: Both updated statements and explanatory articles aim to enhance transparency and completeness in trial protocols and reporting. Widespread adoption by investigators, funders, ethics committees, journals, and regulators should improve the quality and usability of research, ultimately benefiting patients and others. Plain Language Summary: We have updated two important guidelines, SPIRIT and CONSORT, to make research studies easier to understand and more reliable. We did this by carefully reviewing existing research and getting feedback from experts around the world. The new SPIRIT 2025 guideline has 34 items to help researchers report their study plans clearly. It includes new sections on how to assess potential risks, describe the treatment, and involve patients in the research. We also added a new section about sharing data openly. The new CONSORT 2025 guideline has 30 items to help research

Priors from Envisioned Posterior Judgments: A Novel Elicitation Approach With Application to Bayesian Clinical Trials

作者： Ouyang, Yongdong Eng, Janice J. Zhan, Denghuang Wong, Hubert The Hospital for Sick Children Toronto Canada Dalla Lana School of Public Health University of Toronto Toronto Canada Methodological and Implementation Research Program Ottawa Hospital Research Institute Canada Department of Physical Therapy University of British Columbia Vancouver Canada Centre for Aging SMART Vancouver Canada School of Population and Public Health University of British Columbia Vancouver Canada Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes St Paul’s Hospital Vancouver Canada

The uptake of formalized prior elicitation from experts in Bayesian clinical trials has been limited, largely due to the challenges associated with complex statistical modeling, the lack of practical tools, and the cognitive burden on experts required to quantify their uncertainty using probabilistic language. Additionally, existing methods do not address prior-posterior coherence, i.e., does the posterior distribution, obtained mathematically from combining the estimated prior with the trial data, reflect the expert’s actual posterior beliefs? We propose a new elicitation approach that seeks to ensure prior-posterior coherence and reduce the expert’s cognitive burden. This is achieved by eliciting responses about the expert’s envisioned posterior judgments under various potential data outcomes and inferring the prior distribution by minimizing the discrepancies between these responses and the expected responses obtained from the posterior distribution. The feasibility and potential value of the new approach are illustrated through an application to a real trial currently underway. © 2024, CC BY-NC-ND.

OBJECTIVE:Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are frequently used to evaluate interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Robust execution and transparent reporting of randomization procedures are essential for successful implementation and accurate interpretation of CRTs. Our objectives were to review the quality of reporting and implementation of randomization procedures in a sample of parallel-arm CRTs conducted in LMICs. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING:We selected a random sample of 300 primary reports of parallel-arm CRTs from a database of 800 CRTs conducted in LMICs between 2017-2022. Data were extracted by two reviewers per trial and summarized using descriptive statistics. RESULTS:Among 300 trials, 192 (64%) reported the method of sequence generation, 213 (71%) reported the type of randomization procedure used, 146 (49%) reported who generated the sequence, 136 (45%) reported whether randomization was implemented by an independent person, and 75 (25%) reported a method of allocation concealment. Among those reporting the methods used, suboptimal methods of randomization were common: 28% did not use a computer, 21% did not use restricted randomization, 58% did not use a statistician to generate the sequence, in 53% the person was not independent from the trial, and 80% did not use central randomization. Public randomization ceremonies were used in 10% of trials as an alternative method of allocation concealment and to reassure participants of fair allocation procedures. CONCLUSION:The conduct and reporting of randomization procedures of CRTs in LMICs is suboptimal. Dissemination of guidance to promote robust implementation of randomization in LMICs is required and future research on the implementation of public randomization ceremonies is warranted.
