    The Profile of Parasuicide Repeaters in Kuwait

    In: International Journal of Social Psychiatry, SAGE Publications, Vol. 35, No. 2 ( 1989-06), p. 146-155
    Abstract: A one-year cohort of 92 parasuicides was followed up at 6 monthly intervals for a period of 2 years since their index parasuicide to study the outcome and evaluate the level of social readjustment. One male patient died of suicide (1.1%) and 18 (19.6%) individuals repeated parasuicide using self-poisoning. The rate of repeated parasuicidal behaviour in this investigation was considerably higher than that reported in comparable studies from developing countries but similar to that from a number of western European cities. The data indicated that the probability of further episodes of parasuicidal behaviour increased in the few months after the index episode. Although the repeaters and non-repeaters were essentially similar in most of their sociodemographic characteristics, the former were a. distinctive group in many respects. The factors found to be significantly associated with subsequent parasuicide included self-poisoning by prescribed drugs at the index parasuicide, previous parasuicidal behaviour prior to the index, occupational status of a housewife, past history of depression and/or dependence and precipitating life events in the family environment. Contrary to our hypothesized theory, none of the types of attitudes received by the patients from their family members at the index parasuicide related to outcome. The global level of social readjustment of non-repeaters was about three times higher than that of repeaters of parasuicide. The implications of these findings for future policy making were discussed with respect to prevention of parasuicide.

    Lipoprotein(a) and Other Cardiovascular Metabolic Risk Factors in Kuwaiti Children with Type-1 Diabetes
    S. Karger AG ; 2004
    In:  Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism Vol. 48, No. 5 ( 2004), p. 329-334

    In: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, S. Karger AG, Vol. 48, No. 5 ( 2004), p. 329-334
    Abstract: 〈 i 〉 Background/Aims: 〈 /i 〉 Lipoprotein(a) synthesis and catabolism could be influenced by insulin or by diabetes metabolic complications in patients with type-1 diabetes. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation of plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations with metabolic cardiovascular risk factors in Kuwaiti children with uncomplicated type-1 diabetes. 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 This case-control study included 115 (44 males and 71 females) diabetic children aged 6–18 years matched by age and sex to 115 non-diabetic children as controls. 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 There was no significant difference between the mean lipoprotein(a) concentrations in type-1 diabetic children (27.34 mg/dl) and their controls (22.80 mg/dl). Total cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1 and B levels were significantly higher in diabetic children than controls. In diabetic children, significant correlations were found between lipoprotein(a) levels and glycated hemoglobin (r = 0.249, p = 0.011), total cholesterol (r = 0.208, p = 0.025), and apolipoprotein B (r = 0.349, p 〈 0.001). The proportion of diabetic children with lipoprotein(a) 〉 30 mg/dl was significantly higher in those having poor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin 〉 9.0%, p = 0.013), raised total cholesterol (p = 0.033), or with a family history of cardiovascular disease (p = 0.006). 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 Plasma lipoprotein(a) levels were not elevated in young type-1 diabetic children compared to non-diabetic controls; however, lipoprotein(a) levels were significantly higher in diabetic children with poor glycemic control. Moreover, there were significant correlations between lipoprotein(a) and the metabolic cardiovascular risk factors total cholesterol, atherogenic index, apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio.

    Measurement of the Functional Status in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Evaluation of the Arabic Version of the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire

    Abstract: 〈 i 〉 Objectives: 〈 /i 〉 To evaluate the metric properties, reliability and validity of the translated Arabic version of the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ-A) for children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). 〈 i 〉 Methods: 〈 /i 〉 The original questionnaire was translated into Arabic without modification and was applied to 38 consecutive children with JRA attending the Out-Patient Rheumatology Clinic in the main teaching hospital of Kuwait. All patients were diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria. The questionnaire was given to each patient during a clinic visit and the retest was done after a 7- to 10-day interval. Test-retest reliability was assessed based on the intraclass correlation coefficient. The construct validity was assessed with Spearman’s correlation coefficient between the CHAQ-A and both clinical and laboratory variables of the disease activity. 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 The test-retest reliability was 0.94 for the overall score and ranged between 0.707 (grip) to 0.936 (hygiene) for the subscale score. The construct validity ranged between 0.39 (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and 0.71 (functional class). 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 This study provides evidence of the reliability and validity of the CHAQ-A in assessing patients with JRA.

    Abstract: 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Objective: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the Early Inflammatory Arthritis Questionnaire (EIAQ-A), a detection tool for screening for early inflammatory arthritis (EIA) in Arabic-speaking populations. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Subjects and Methods: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 A cross-sectional study was conducted among 30 consecutive participants (21 female and 9 male) attending the Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic at Mubarak Al-Kabeer Hospital. They completed the self-administered EIAQ-A twice within a 2-week period. Their disease activity was evaluated during the visits based on clinical and laboratory variables. Cross-cultural adaptation was performed using forward and backward translations of the original questionnaire. Test-retest reliability of the EIAQ-A was evaluated using the measure of agreement, kappa ( & #954;), between the response of participants in the two interviews. Internal consistency of the EIAQ-A was measured using the Kudar-Richardson-20 coefficient (KR-20), a binary response equivalent to Cronbach's a. External construct validity was assessed by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r 〈 sub 〉 s 〈 /sub 〉 ) between the score of EIAQ-A and both clinical and laboratory variables of disease activity. 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The test-retest reliability for EIAQ-A was good ( & #954; = 0.558) for the overall score and between 0.841 and 0.368 for the subscale scores. Internal consistency had an acceptable value of KR-20 = 0.869. The construct validity for EIAQ-A was high for all disease activity variables tested, r 〈 sub 〉 s 〈 /sub 〉 was between 0.727 (swollen joint count) and 0.896 (visual analog scale pain score). 〈 b 〉 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 〈 /b 〉 The EIAQ-A was a reliable and valid tool for population screening for EIA. Its use may accelerate the early detection of EIA in Arabic-speaking communities.
