Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Watch Me Grow - Electronic (WMG-E) platform is an online resource to enhance the capacity of general practitioners (GPs) to involve parents in developmental surveillance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptability and perceived utility of WMG-E.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with GPs/paediatricians (n = 6) and parents (n = 6). Focus groups were conducted with child and family health nurses (n = 25). Transcripts were analysed thematically.
Results: Participants indicated that WMG-E could empower clinicians and parents by enhancing health literacy about child developmental issues, but that it could also be disempowering if not used carefully. Clinicians mentioned being strategic at health service and public policy levels. A final theme was that of the need to balance widespread promotion with its targeted use.
Discussion: This study established the face validity of WMG-E, and reveals key lessons to inform the ways in which it is promoted and used.

Predicting near-complete pathological response to (chemo)radiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer: A federated learning study.

Background: Organ preservation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer has attracted interest due to improved quality of life and functional outcomes compared with total mesorectal excision. Hence, patients who achieve clinical complete response (cCR) after (chemo)radiotherapy are offered a watch-and-wait strategy. Those who are likely to fall short of the strict criteria of cCR and only achieve near complete response (NCR) might benefit from radiation boosting to avoid surgery.

Introduction: Patients receiving neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for primary non-metastasized rectal cancer may achieve a clinical complete response and can be surveilled following the watch and wait strategy. The aim of this study is to investigate the utilization of this strategy using nationwide data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry.
Methods: Data from 6968 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic rectal cancer between 2018 and 2020 were analyzed.
Sensitivity and Specificity of Developmental Surveillance and Autism Screening in an Australian Multicultural Cohort: The Watch Me Grow Study.

To examine accuracy of two-tiered surveillance to detect developmental disability and autism in a multicultural birth cohort; a subset of the Watch Me Grow Study. Surveillance tools were used at or soon after 18 months of age, including the Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS), the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), and the revised Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT-R/F). Children with and without identified concerns were assessed between 18 and 23 months using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2).

Background The incidence of myopia-related vision loss among Japanese children is increasing, indicating that efforts to prevent this vision loss remain insufficient. School-aged Japanese children are thought to be more prone to myopia due to physical and lifestyle changes during their growth stages. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between changes in visual acuity (VA) from fourth-grade elementary school to junior high school and students' lifestyle habits and to examine efforts to maintain visual acuity among elementary and junior high school students in Japan.

Introduction: Most reports on the outcome of Watch-and-Wait (W&W) in rectal cancer come from expert centres. This study reports on a broad implementation in the Netherlands.
Material And Methods: The process of W&W implementation is described and the outcome of patients in a W&W registry between 2004 and 2022 analysed (regrowth, metastases, survival, and organ preservation).
