Prevalence of adverse childhood experiences and their cumulative impact associated lifetime health outcomes in the Emirate of Abu-Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
CONCLUSIONS: The baseline presence of ACEs among this Abu Dhabi sample, along with the associated risks of physical and mental health morbidities, and risk-taking behaviors play a significant role in understanding the extent, nature, and associated sequalae of ACEs in this population; providing nuanced context for early intervention. Our findings will inform the planning and implementation of specific prevention and awareness raising programs while promoting safe environments where children are healthy and can thrive.PMID:38484508 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106734 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

The economic burden of systemic lupus erythematosus in United Arab Emirates
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that the burden of SLE in the UAE is enormous, mainly because of the costly complications and productivity loss. More awareness should be created to limit the progression of SLE and reduce the occurrence of flares, necessitating further economic evaluations of novel treatments that could help reduce the economic consequences of SLE in the UAE.PMID:38468482 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2318996 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Microsimulation model of the cost-effectiveness of anifrolumab compared to belimumab in the United Arab Emirates
CONCLUSION: The addition of anifrolumab to SoC is a cost-effective option versus belimumab for the treatment of adult patients with active, autoantibody-positive SLE, despite being allocated to SoC. Cost-effectiveness was demonstrated by a reduction in complications and organ damage, which reflected costs and outcomes.PMID:38468481 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2320603 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

The utility of exome sequencing in diagnosing pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders in a highly consanguineous population
Clin Genet. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.1111/cge.14508. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExome sequencing (ES) has been utilized in diagnosing children with neurodevelopmental manifestations, this study aimed to investigate the utility of ES in children within a highly consanguineous population that presented with neurodevelopmental complaints. A retrospective chart review was performed for 405 children with neurodevelopmental complaints who have had ES and were evaluated in multiple centers in the United Arab Emirates over a four-year period. Within the cohort of 405 children, consanguinity was reported in 35% (144/405). The primary...
