"The credential did make a difference": eating disorder treatment with ANZAED credentialed clinicians: carer perspectives.

Background: The Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) has developed the Credential that recognises the qualifications, knowledge and professional development training, including continuing professional development (CPD), that comprise the minimum standard for the safe and effective delivery of treatment for an eating disorder. The current study sought to explore whether the anticipated benefits have translated into positive eating disorder treatment experiences with credentialed clinicians from carers' perspectives.

Methods: Thirteen carers of people living with an eating disorder (ED) were interviewed about their perceptions and experiences of ED treatment from clinicians awarded the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential.

Retrovirus-based pseudotyped virus neutralisation assays overestimate neutralising activity in sera from participants receiving integrase inhibitors.

Retroviral pseudotype-based virus neutralisation assays are widely used to estimate functional immunity, but may be unsuitable for testing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals receiving integrase inhibitor treatment. We evaluated these assays for measuring severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) neutralisation in people living with HIV. SARS-CoV-2 neutralisation was assessed using HIV-based SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses in sera from a longitudinal Malawian cohort (n = 1,876), detecting neutralisation across timepoints in 10.

Navigating data availability challenges in healthcare: assessing the added value of pulmonary function testing to the Care Assessment Need score for mortality risk.

Objectives: Pulmonary function testing (PFT) data, such as forced expiratory volume (FEV) has become increasingly siloed from the electronic health record (EHR). We hypothesised that FEV %pred is independently associated with mortality risk, even after adjusting for the Care Assessment Needs (CAN) score, a validated method developed by the Veterans Health Administration (VA) to predict mortality. Additionally, we hypothesised that the integration of PFT data into the EHR has declined in recent years.

ANZAED eating disorder credentialed clinician perceptions and experiences of professional development.

Background: The ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential (the Credential) is the first national and cross discipline program to be developed that specifies the standard of qualifications, knowledge, and ongoing professional development activities needed for health professionals to provide safe and effective treatment of eating and feeding disorders. This study explored clinicians' experiences and perspectives of the Credential with a particular focus on the ongoing requirements for clinicians to engage in supervision and other eating disorder specific continuing professional development (CPD) activities to maintain their credentialing.

Methods: Participants were 28 ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinicians who participated in a semi-structured interview after completion of an online self-report survey.
