Importance With SARS-CoV-2 transforming into an endemic disease and with antiviral treatments available, it is important to establish which patients remain at risk of severe COVID-19 despite vaccination. Objective To quantify the associations clinical demographic variables odds among hematologic cancers. Design, Setting, Participants This case-control study included all malignant neoplasms in national Veterans Health Administration (VHA) who had documented infection after Groups (cases) vs...
Antiviral drugs reduce the rate of progression to severe COVID-19 when given patients with mild-to-moderate disease within 5 days symptom onset.Despite being recommended for at high risk because age or chronic conditions, reported antiviral use among general adult population has been ≤35%.To ascertain reasons underuse medications prevent and propose interventions accordingly, a detailed review was conducted 110 Veterans Health Administration infection underlying conditions (organ...
Abstract Background Patients taking immune‐suppressive drugs are at increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), not fully ameliorated by vaccination. We assessed the contributions clinical and demographic factors to despite vaccination in patients medications for solid organ transplantation (SOT), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel (IBD), or psoriasis. Methods Veterans Health Administration electronic health records were used identify diagnosed with RA, IBD,...
Contrast-associated AKI may result in higher morbidity and mortality. Intravenous fluid administration remains the mainstay for prevention. There is a lack of consensus on optimal strategy. We studied association periprocedure with contrast-associated AKI, defined as an increase serum creatinine at least 25% or 0.5 mg/dl from baseline 3-5 days after angiography, 90-day need dialysis, death, 50% creatinine.We conducted secondary analysis 4671 PRESERVE participants who underwent angiographic...

Leukemia and lymphoma are top cancers affecting children, adolescents young adults with high five-year survival rates. Late effects of these a concern in reproductive-age patients, including pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth. Our study aimed to evaluate whether diagnosis leukemia or prior was associated birth (<37 weeks gestation).We conducted cross-sectional using population-based dataset from California linked certificates hospital discharge records an Iowa-based sample that...
Background: The relationship between shift work or exposure to light at night and breast cancer risk in women remains unclear. Aims: To evaluate the statistical association night, as surrogate markers of circadian rhythm disruption, through a comprehensive meta-analysis. Methods: PubMed database was searched for observational epidemiologic studies on published January 1980 December 2012. Publication bias examined by funnel plot Egger's test. Cochran Q test I2 statistics were used assess...
