ObjectiveTo determine the diagnostic accuracy of an over-the-counter infant pulse oximeter for cardiorespiratory events.DesignSingle-centre prospective diagnostic accuracy study.SettingUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham.PatientsInfants weighing ≥1500 g, <44 weeks’ postmenstrual age (PMA) and off ventilator/continuous positive airway pressure support.InterventionsTest device for 48 hours in addition to standard hospital monitors, ECG and pulse oximetry.Main outcome measuresData were time aligned and analysed using MATLAB. The coprimary outcomes were the diagnostic accuracy of the test device for the detection of events with heart rate (HR) <50 beats per minute (bpm) and events with oxygen saturations (SpO2) <80% for ≥3 s.Results66 infants with a median gestational age of 31 weeks (range 23–40) were studied at a median 35 weeks’ PMA (range 32–42) weighing 1930 g (range 1500–3605 g) from April to July 2023. The sensitivity for detection of HR <50 bpm ≥3 s was 6% and 39% for smoothed and raw data, respectively, while the specificity was >99% for both smoothed and raw data. The sensitivity for SpO2 <80% ≥3 s was 14% and 74%, while the specificity was >99% and 96% for smoothed and raw data, respectively. Sensitivity for bradycardia events was higher for events with longer durations and/or when using higher thresholds. Sensitivity was higher for hypoxaemia events with longer durations and/or when using higher thresholds.ConclusionAn over-the-counter infant pulse oximeter had high specificity for bradycardia and hypoxaemia events consistent with a low false alarm rate. Sensitivity improved with longer events and higher event thresholds.Trial registration numberNCT05774470.

The high risk of perpetrating physical dating violence, bullying, and sexual harassment by adolescents exposed to domestic violence points to the need for programs to prevent these types of aggression among this group. This study of adolescents exposed to domestic violence examined whether these forms of aggression share risk factors that could be targeted for change in single programs designed to prevent all three types of aggression. Analyses were conducted on 399 mother victims of domestic violence and their adolescents, recruited through community advertising. The adolescents ranged in age from 12 to 16 years; 64 % were female. Generalized estimating equations was used to control for the covariation among the aggression types when testing for shared risk factors. Approximately 70 % of the adolescents reported perpetrating at least one of the three forms of aggression. In models examining one risk factor at a time, but controlling for demographics, adolescent acceptance of sexual violence, mother–adolescent discord, family conflict, low maternal monitoring, low mother–adolescent closeness, low family cohesion, depressed affect, feelings of anger, and anger reactivity were shared across all three aggression types. In multivariable models, which included all of the risk factors examined and the demographic variables, low maternal monitoring, depressed affect and anger reactivity remained significant shared risk factors. Our findings suggest that programs targeting these risk factors for change have the potential to prevent all three forms of aggression. In multivariable models, poor conflict management skills was a risk for bullying and sexual harassment, but not dating violence; acceptance of dating violence was a risk for dating violence and bullying, but not sexual harassment; and none of the examined risk factors were unique to aggression type. The study’s implications for the development of interventions and future research are discussed.
