“…Age categories were created based on the nearest whole year for 16y, 17y, 18y olds. Disabilities were calculated through the self-reported version of the child functioning module of the Washington group on disability studies [ 23 ]. There are 11 items with a four-point scale on core functions for adolescents namely, seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, concentrating, learning, self-care, remembering, change of routines, getting friends, controlling own behaviour.…”

Background Physical activity (PA) is recognised as one of the leading and effective strategies to prevent non-communicable diseases that boosts the immune system to fight against diseases. Closures of schools, sport clubs and facilities because of COVID-19 reduced the opportunities to participate in PA. We aimed to examine physical activity levels of late adolescents, the contexts to be physical active and its changes during the spring 2020 lockdown. Methods A national representative sample of late adolescents in general upper secondary school (n = 2408, females = 64%, mean age = 17.2y, SD = 0.63) completed self-report online surveys on PA behaviours between March and June 2020. Multinominal logistic regression analyses were performed to identify correlates with PA, and decision tree analyses to ascertain the perceived changes on PA during lockdown based on sport club aspirations and levels of PA. Results Among the late adolescents, the distribution of PA frequency was 23% (0-2 days/week), 35% (3-4 days/week), 30% (5–6 days/week) and 12% (7 days/week), and differences between males and females were not statistically significant. Participation in both indoor and outdoor PA were 50 times more likely to report daily PA (OR = 54.28, CI = 15.16–194.37) than non-participation. A quarter of late adolescents were not part of a sports club, yet their PA levels increased. Although sports club members generally perceived they did less PA during lockdown, over a third of sport club members with competitive aspirations reported daily PA. Conclusions Overall, most late adolescents reported their PA levels decreased during lockdown. Findings from this study continue to demonstrate factors associated with PA in the context of the COVID-19 lockdown.

“…Assuming a correlation coe cient of 0.99, andαandβvalues of 0.05 and 0.10 for type I and II errors, respectively, the minimal sample size required to achieve the desired statistical power (0.80) was n=5. A total of 30 urological medical staffs were included in this study to evaluate the consistency of hematuria colorimetric card, including 10 urologists, 10 urological nurses and 10 medical students who practice in urology [7]. All people are screened by the Color Blind Examination Chart, and none of them was color blind and weak.…”

Background: A Hematuria colorimetric card could unify the description of gross hematuria, but the consistency in assessing hematuria samples of a hematuria colorimetric card for gross hematuria is still inconclusive. The consistency testing and improving of hematuria colorimetric card has potential clinical application value.Methods: According to 6 color scales (0~5), 31 hematuria samples were made. One sample was used to explain the use of hematuria colorimetric cards, and then the evaluator was asked to describe the color. After the remaining 30 samples were arranged in a random number table, 30 evaluators independently completed the hematuria sample assessment under the same conditions. Kendall W coordination coefficient was used to test inter-observer consistency. After 1 hour, 30 hematuria samples were rearranged by random digital table method, 15 of which were randomly selected from 30 evaluators, and 30 samples were evaluated independently under the same conditions. Adopt the method of Kappa to test the consistency of the two evaluation results. Results: In the study, the evaluator lacked unity in describing the same hematuria color, including six groups of descriptive words: gross hematuria, light blood, light red, blood, scarlet, carmine. Inter-observer (inter-group) consistency test, Kendall coordination factor was 0.881(F=766.34), P<0.05), the result indicats higher inter-observer agreement. For intra-observer (intra-group) consistency test, the kappa value of nurses was 0.909~1(P<0.05), the value of doctors was 0.818~0.95(P<0.05), and the value of students was 0.863~0.911(P<0.05), the results showed that intra-observer agreement was also high. Consistency results between grade evaluation results of hematuria samples and standard color numbers: the average consistency of evaluation results of standard color numbers 0~5 was 100%, 100%, 94.2%, 65.2%, 38%, 65.8% respectively. The the 4th color block with low discrimination in the primary hematuria colorimetric card was eliminated, and the 5th color block was reassigned to 4th. Thus the modified hematuria colorimetric card was divided into 5 grades.Conclusions: The improved hematuria colorimetric card has good consistency in hematuria evaluation and is an effective tool for evaluating hematuria grade, which is helpful to unify the evaluation standard of gross hematuria grade.

Epidemiological data on depression and anxiety in Guatemala is lacking. Using 2016 National Disability Survey data, we explored the sociodemographics of people with anxiety and/or depression and its heightened burden on access to key services. The survey (n = 13,073) used the Washington Group Extended Set to estimate disability prevalence, including anxiety and/or depression. A nested case-control study was included to explore the impact of disability on key life areas. Cases (indicating ‘A lot of difficulty’ or ‘Cannot do’ in one or more functional domain) and age-/sex-matched controls were administered a structured questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression and heightened-burden analysis were conducted. Higher odds of anxiety and/or depression were found in participants who were 50+ (aOR 2.3, 1.8–3.1), female (aOR 1.8, 1.4–2.2), urban (aOR 1.5, 1.2–1.9), divorced/separated (aOR 2.0, 1.3–3.0), and widowed (aOR 1.6, 1.0–2.4), as well as those with impaired communication or cognition (aOR 17.6, 13.0–23.8), self-care (aOR 13.2, 8.5–20.5), walking (aOR 13.3, 9.7–18.3), hearing (aOR 8.5, 5.6–13.1), and vision (aOR 8.5, 6.1–11.8). Lower odds of anxiety and/or depression were found in participants with a university education (aOR 0.2, 0.5–0.9), and those living in the southeast (aOR 0.2, 0.1–0.3) or northeast (aOR 0.3, 0.2–0.4). Compared to people with impairments that were not depression and/or anxiety, people with depression and/or anxiety were less likely to receive a retirement pension (aOR 0.4, 0.2–0.8), and more likely to receive medication for depression/anxiety (aOR 4.1, 1.9–9.1), report a serious health problem (aOR 1.8, 1.3–2.5), and seek advice/treatment with a government health worker/health post (aOR 6.3, 1.0–39.2).
