Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea in United States. However, recent reports have documented that C. infections (CDIs) are occurring among patients without traditional risk factors. The purpose this study was to examine epidemiology CA-CDI, by estimating incidence CA-CDI and HA-CDI, identifying patient-related factors for describing adverse health outcomes CA-CDI.We conducted a population-based, retrospective, nested, case-control within...
The choice of deprivation index can influence conclusions drawn regarding the extent within a community and identification most deprived communities in United States. This study aimed to determine degree correlation among indices commonly used characterize transplant populations. We retrospective cohort consisting adults listed for liver or kidney transplants between 2008 2018 compare 4 indices: neighborhood index, social (SDI), area vulnerability index. Pairwise by referral regions was...

To describe chemotherapy use and adverse events (AEs) for advanced-stage, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in community practice, including descriptions according to variation by age.We interviewed patients with newly diagnosed, stages IIIB IV NSCLC the population-based cohort studied Cancer Care Outcomes Research Surveillance Consortium, we abstracted patient medical records. AEs were occurring during chemotherapy. Using logistic regression, assessed association between age chemotherapy;...
Background The research goals of the Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance (CanCORS) Consortium are to determine how characteristics beliefs patients, providers, health care organizations influence treatments outcomes individuals with newly diagnosed lung colorectal cancers. As CanCORS results will inform national policy, it is important know they generalize United States population these Design This study assessed representativeness cohort 10,547 patients cancer (LC) or (CRC)...
This article resulted from our participation in the session on "role of expert opinion and judgment statistical inference" at October 2017 ASA Symposium Statistical Inference. We present a strong, unified statement roles statistics with processes for obtaining input, whether Bayesian or frequentist perspective. Topics include role subjectivity cycle scientific inference decisions, followed by clinical trial greenhouse gas emissions case study that illustrate judgments importance basing them...

Background: Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases, particularly among older adults. We examined changes in cardiovascular factors adults community-based fitness program Miami-Dade County, FL. Methods: used repeated measures linear mixed models to examine participants’ over 28 months. Outcomes (body mass index, blood pressure, pulse, arm/leg strength, and mobility) were modeled accounting park, individual, time, sociodemographic (2017–2019). Results: The...
Abstract Urinary incontinence (UI) is a commonly underreported and underdiagnosed condition. The purpose of this trial was to implement evaluate behavioral management for continence (BMC), an intervention manage symptoms UI with older rural women in their homes. Participants were randomized into BMC or control group, 178 followed between 6 24 months. involved self‐monitoring, bladder training, pelvic muscle exercise biofeedback. primary outcome variable—severity urine loss—was evaluated by...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Long-term adherence to weight loss behaviors remains a challenge, and most people who achieve significant regain 1-2 kg per year. Reinforcing healthy through financial incentives is promising strategy promote initiation maintenance skills. Yet, there are many questions regarding how optimize maximize outcomes. In September 2020, we launched 5-year, multisite, randomized clinical trial, Log2Lose, address key research gaps related effective behavioral...

Patients with diabetes and poorly controlled hypertension are at increased risk for adverse renal cardiovascular outcomes. Identifying these patients early addressing modifiable factors is central to delaying complications such as diabetic kidney disease. Mobile health (mHealth), a relatively inexpensive easily scalable technology, can facilitate patient-centered care promote engagement in self-management, particularly of lower socioeconomic status. Thus, mHealth may be cost-effective way...
