Aims
Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death. Smoking prevalence is higher in people with mental disorders and impacts on physical health, mental health and bioavailability of psychotropic medications. Evidence-based interventions exist to support smoking cessation (SC)/reduction in people with mental disorders, although evidence suggests less provision compared to the general population. We aim to determine the unmet SC needs and associated causes in a community secondary mental health service, in order to advise appropriate service response. This audit will inform relevant work of the RCPsych Public Mental Health Implementation Centre as a case example.
MethodsFrom the caseload of 364 patients, a sample of 91 case records was randomly selected for recording of smoking and provision of treatment. A survey of 31 smokers and 12 ex-smokers identified patient attitude and barriers in SC. Information on availability and nature of other SC provision in the community was gathered from staff and relevant services.
ResultsA sample of case records found 44% (n = 40) of patients were smokers compared to 13,5% in the general UK population. 31 patients were offered SC advice of whom 2 were recorded as wanting to quit. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) was offered to 13 patients and 5 were referred to SC services (SCS). Aside from smoking status, limited information on smoking was recorded.
The survey revealed that 20/31 smokers wanted to reduce or quit smoking, of whom 10 used NRT. Six were referred to SCS which helped 3 reduce. Four ex-smokers used SCS, which helped 3 to quit. Most frequently reported barriers in SC were habit, social isolation, availability of tobacco, and stress. Frequently reported enhancers in SC were NRT, allocated support with follow-up, social interventions and family support.
Regarding current service provision, we identified that local GP's did not prescribe NRT. Targeted SCS exist exclusively for inpatients and the only community SCS available offered 12 SC sessions without targeting needs of people with mental disorder.
ConclusionDespite high smoking prevalence in our caseload, there is an implementation gap in providing and recording SC advice and treatment, both in our service as in local primary care and community services. Provision of evidence-based interventions and coordination with GP's and SCS could prove useful in narrowing this gap. Results from this local project could be explored on a larger scale to address the implementation gap in SC in this population at high risk of smoking associated harm.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: There is a high burden of lung cancer in persons living with HIV (PLWH). The role that HIV status, by levels of immune function and viral load, has on survival from lung cancer is not fully understood. The study’s objectives were to assess 1) the association of HIV with survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 2) prognostic factors in PLWH with NSCLC. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participants were from a cohort of lung cancer patients diagnosed between 2004-2017 in the Bronx, NY, with vital status ascertainment at least annually. We compared survival from NSCLC diagnosis between HIV-negative patients (HIV-, N = 2881) and PLWH (N = 88), using Cox regression, accounting for clinical and sociodemographic factors including smoking status. In three separate comparisons to HIV-, PLWH were dichotomized by CD4 count (<200 vs. ≥200 cells/μL), CD4/CD8 ratio (median, <0.43 vs. ≥0.43) and HIV viral load (VL) suppression (<75 vs. ≥75 copies/mL). In PLWH only, we assessed the relationships of CD4 count, CD4/CD8 ratio, and VL at diagnosis with survival adjusting for age, sex, and cancer stage. CD4 count and CD4/CD8 ratio were also examined as time-varying variables using a counting process approach. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: PLWH were younger (median 56 years, IQR 51-52 vs. 68, IQR 60-76) and more likely to be current smokers (58% vs. 37%) at diagnosis than HIV- patients. Median survival was lower in PLWH [1.1 years, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.6-1.3] than in HIV- [1.6 (1.5-1.7)]. Survival comparing PLWH with higher CD4/CD8 to HIV- was similar [hazard ratio (HR), 95%CI: 0.63 (0.37-1.07)], but those with lower CD4/CD8 experienced worse survival (HR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.07-3.89). Among PLWH, having a CD4 count < 200 cells/μL was associated with over twice the risk of death compared to those with CD4 ≥ 200 cells/μL (HR = 2.37, 95%CI: 1.14-4.92). VL and CD4/CD8 ratio were not associated with survival. Lower time-updated CD4 count was also associated with worse survival (HR = 2.19 for CD4 <200 vs. >200 cells/μL, 95%CI: 1.16-4.13). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Among persons with NSCLC, CD4/CD8 ratio nearest diagnosis was shown to distinguish mortality risk in PLWH compared with HIV- patients. In addition, PLWH with low CD4 had worse prognosis than PLWH who had higher CD4 counts. These results suggest HIV immune status to be an essential component influencing survival in lung cancer.

The ancient Maya community of Lamanai, Belize, is well known for its span of occupation from the Early Preclassic (before 1630 BC) to the present. Although most centers in the central and southern Maya Lowlands were abandoned during the Terminal Classic period (AD 750–1000), ceramic and stratigraphic evidence at Lamanai has shown continuous occupation from the start of the Early Preclassic to the Spanish Conquest. In this paper, we present the first complete set of radiocarbon dates from this important site, including 19 new accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dates. We use these dates to build Bayesian models for a Terminal Classic structure and an Early Postclassic structure in the site center. This method assists in the refinement of older, conventional dates and provides key chronological information about the site during this volatile time. Adjustments to the standard, uniform distribution model are made using exponential, long-tail, and trapezoidal distributions to incorporate outlier samples and more accurately portray ceramic phases. Because of changes in construction behavior in the Terminal Classic, it is difficult to acquire primary samples from this period, but there remains enough overlap between dates and ceramic phases to deduce persistent occupation at Lamanai during the transition from Late Classic to Postclassic times.
