Evaluation of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale in the UK: a psychometric analysis including predictive validity by Geraldine Barrett, Jennifer Hall, Corinne Rocca

“…Objectives To evaluate the psychometric performance, including predictive validity, of a UK version of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy (DAP) scale.Design Prospective cohort study for psychometric evaluation.Setting UK.Participants Women in the UK aged 15 years to menopause, who were not pregnant at the time of recruitment in October 2018, were eligible. 994 women completed the baseline survey and 90.2% of women eligible for the 12-month survey participated.Primary and secondary outcome measures The DAP scale was assessed according to key measurement properties of validity (construct (structural and hypothesis testing) and criterion (predictive)), reliability (internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest using intraclass correlation coefficients, ICC) and differential item functioning. Item response and classical test theory methods were used.Results The scale was acceptable, understandable and showed good targeting with the full range of scores captured. …”

A Case Report of Acute-on-Chronic Methemoglobinemia by Gabriel Lathrop, Rodney Fullmer

“…Conclusion: Methemoglobinemia arises when there is a mismatch between the formation of oxidized ferric iron and the subsequent reduction to ferrous iron. Classically, methemoglobinemia is an acquired pathologic process from acute exposure to any number of oxidative stressors; in rare cases, methemoglobinemia is caused by congenital deficiency in red blood cell-reducing enzymes. …”
