RESUMO
Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the safety, efficacy, and potential role in therapy of once in 6 months paliperidone palmitate formulation (PP6M; Invega Hafyera). PP6M is a long-acting injectable antipsychotic recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of schizophrenia. Data Sources: A PubMed literature search was conducted using the following terms: paliperidone palmitate and long-acting antipsychotic injections (January 1, 2017, to November 1, 2022). FDA product labeling was also reviewed for pertinent data. Study Selection and Data Extraction: All relevant English-language articles focused on the efficacy and safety of PP6M were considered for inclusion. Data Synthesis: A multicenter, randomized, active controlled relapse prevention noninferiority study showed that PP6M is comparable to paliperidone palmitate once in 3 months formulation (PP3M) in terms of efficacy and safety in clinically stable schizophrenia patients. Place in Therapy: PP6M is indicated in the treatment of adult patients with schizophrenia, who need treatment over a prolonged period. It improves adherence and decreases the rate of relapse and hospitalizations among patients with schizophrenia. It is useful for patients who may have difficulty accessing health care or would prefer the convenience of less frequent injections. Conclusion: PP6M with its long duration of action and lowered frequency of administration (once every 6 months) expands the therapeutic choices available to patients with schizophrenia. More studies in patients with schizophrenia with PP6M, and perhaps other mental illnesses (eg, schizoaffective disorder), are required to fully elucidate the therapeutic potential of PP6M.

BACKGROUND: Repeat infection with gonorrhoea may contribute significantly to infection persistence and health service workload. The authors investigated whether repeat infection is associated with particular subgroups who may benefit from tailored interventions. METHODS: Data on gonorrhoea diagnoses between 2004 and 2008 were obtained from Sheffield sexually transmitted infection clinic. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate the percentage of patients with repeat diagnoses within a year, and a Cox proportional hazard model was used to investigate associated risk factors. RESULTS: Of 1650 patients diagnosed with gonorrhoea, 7.7% (95% CI 6.5% to 9.1%) had a repeat diagnosis within 1 year. Men who have sex with men under 30, teenage heterosexuals, black Caribbeans, people living in deprived areas and those diagnosed in 2004 were most likely to re-present. Of those patients (53%) providing additional behavioural data, repeat diagnosis was more common in those reporting prior history of gonorrhoea, any previous sexually transmitted infection diagnoses, two or more partners in the past 3 months and a high-risk partner in the past year. In an adjusted analysis, repeat diagnosis was independently associated with being a young man who has sex with men, living in a deprived area, a history of gonorrhoea and being diagnosed in 2004 but was most strongly associated with non-completion of behavioural data forms. CONCLUSIONS: Groups most at risk of repeat infection with gonorrhoea are highly predictable but are disinclined to provide detailed information on their sexual behaviour. Care pathways including targeted and intensive one-to-one risk reduction counselling, effective partner notification and offers of re-testing could deliver considerable public health benefit.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the total number of cases of, and cost of care for, genital warts (GWs) in England, to inform economic evaluations of human papillomavirus vaccination. METHODS: The number of GW cases seen in general practices (GPs) and in genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics was estimated using the General Practice Research Database and the GUM Clinic Activity Dataset. The overlap in care of cases in the two settings was estimated. The calculated costs of care in GP and hospitals were added to the costs of care in GUM clinics (estimated elsewhere) to estimate the cost of care for GWs in England. RESULTS: In England, in 2008, GP and GUM saw 80,531 new (157/100,000 population) and 68,259 recurrent (133/100,000 population) episodes, giving a total of 148,790 episodes of care of GWs (289/100,000 population). Seventy-three per cent of cases were seen only in GUM clinics, 22% were seen by a GP before being referred to GUM, and 5% by GPs only. Hospital care was given in 1.3% of cases and contributed 8% of the costs. The average cost of care per episode was £113, and the estimated annual cost of care in England was £16.8 million. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a fairly comprehensive measure of GW frequency and care in England. GWs exert a considerable impact on health services, a large proportion of which could be prevented through immunisation using the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine.

BACKGROUND: Currently, there are no accreditation requirements for pharmacy resident teaching certificate programs (RTCPs) but rather suggested guidelines and documents for individual programs to follow. RTCP curriculums are often "handed-down" from past personnel and vary based on individual interpretation. Quality improvement may be overlooked when programs do not report to governing bodies. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this quality improvement project was threefold: 1) to identify past RTCP participants' perceptions regarding program seminars, activities, and requirements; 2) to determine the short-term and long-term impact on participant careers and interaction with learners; and 3) to improve the program to meet participants' needs. METHODS: A 25 item Qualtrics survey was sent to 93 past pharmacy residents who completed the RTCP. Delivery of the survey was confirmed to 89 previous residents. Participants provided consent and were given 12 days to complete the survey. Data was collected and coded by the research team independently. RESULTS: The participants hold positions in a variety of roles, with 68.3% of participants currently holding a non-academia position. The top five most beneficial activities during the RTCP were: giving a large room lecture, facilitating small group learning, developing test questions, delivering professional CE, and meeting with their teaching mentor. Most seminar topics were beneficial to residents during the RTCP, with over two-thirds of the topics (n=23) found beneficial by at least 90% of the participants. A total of 92.9% of respondents said that the most beneficial aspect of having an assigned mentor was the teaching advice and feedback provided. CONCLUSIONS: The perceptions and beliefs of past RTCP participants were obtained regarding how beneficial the programming, activities, and mentorship offered were during and after RTCP completion. Quality improvement ideas from this work include redistribution of time in seminars compared to hands-on activities, the adoption of tracks or concentrations within the RTCP, and the creation of mentor training and development.
