Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Strong representation of the Kaplan–Meier and hazard estimators for censored data with m-widely acceptable dependence

Statistical Theory and Related Fields
This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of the Kaplan–Meier and hazard estimators for censored survival time data. We conduct this analysis under the assumption of m-widely acceptable (m-WA) dependence, a generalized form of weak correlation ...

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

Asymptotic properties of Kaplan–Meier estimator and hazard estimator for censored survival time with LENQD data

Statistical Theory and Related Fields
In this paper, we consider the estimators of distribution function and hazard rate for censored survival time. First, some properties and inequalities are established for linearly extended negative quadrant-dependent sequence as auxiliary results.

Psychosocial Functioning After Pediatric Bone Sarcoma: Generic and Survivor‐Specific Outcomes in Adolescent and Young Adult Patients

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric bone sarcoma patients and survivors may experience psychosocial challenges related to childhood cancer after their intensive, body‐altering treatment. This cross‐sectional study aimed to evaluate generic and survivor‐specific psychosocial outcomes in a national cohort of pediatric bone sarcoma patients and survivors, and ...

Ironic Medications: A Narrative‐Based Psycho‐Educational Intervention to Explore Patient–Provider Communication in Adolescents With Haematological Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with haematological malignancies face significant emotional and relational challenges, often accompanied by difficulties in communicating their needs within the healthcare context. To address these issues, a narrative‐based psycho‐educational intervention based on the creation and prescription of Ironic Medications was ...

Avoiding consistency exceptions under strong memory models [PDF]

, 2017
Shared-memory languages and systems generally provide weak or undefined semantics for executions with data races. Prior work has proposed memory consistency models that ensure well-defined, easy-to-understand semantics based on ...

Quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of Laplace (1, 1) for GARCH models

Open Mathematics, 2017
This paper studies the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) for the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) model based on the Laplace (1,1) residuals.

Consistency of the Priestley–Chao estimator in nonparametric regression model with widely orthant dependent errors

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019
In this paper, we establish the strong consistency and complete consistency of the Priestley–Chao estimator in nonparametric regression model with widely orthant dependent errors under some general conditions.
