ABSTRACT Low body mass index (BMI) is a well-established risk factor for fracture in postmenopausal women. Height and obesity have also been associated with increased at some sites. We investigated the relationships of weight, BMI, height incident clinical practice-based cohort women participating Global Longitudinal study Osteoporosis Women (GLOW). Data were collected baseline 1, 2, 3 years. For hip, spine, wrist, pelvis, rib, upper arm/shoulder, clavicle, ankle, lower leg, leg fractures,...
Abstract Previous fractures of the hip, spine, or wrist are well-recognized predictors future fracture, but role other fracture sites is less clear. We sought to assess relationship between prior at 10 skeletal locations and incident fracture. The Global Longitudinal Study Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW) an observational cohort study being conducted 17 physician practices countries. aged ≥55 years answered questionnaires baseline 1 and/or 2 (fractures previous year). Of 60,393 women enrolled,...
It is important to document the performance of rapid antigen tests (Ag-RDTs) in detecting SARS-CoV-2 variants.To compare Ag-RDTs Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (B.1.1.529) variants SARS-CoV-2.Secondary analysis a prospective cohort study that enrolled participants between 18 October 2021 24 January 2022.

<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Breakdowns in clinician-family communication neurologic intensive care units (neuroICUs) are common, particularly for goals-of-care decisions to continue or withdraw life-sustaining treatments while considering long-term prognoses. Shared decision-making interventions (decision aids [DAs]) may prevent this problem increase patient-centered care, yet none currently available. We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, perceived usefulness of a DA with...
