ABSTRACT Steatotic liver disease is prevalent among people with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The new definition of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic (MASLD) emphasises the drivers steatosis and recognises its frequent coexistence other chronic diseases, including HCV. We aimed to evaluate association coexisting MASLD HCV fibrosis. Individuals who underwent transient elastography (TE) associated controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) were included from two clinical centres. significant...
Longitudinal evidence on the association between air pollution and blood pressure (BP) in adolescence is scarce. We explored this an ethnically diverse cohort of schoolchildren. Sex-stratified, linear random-effects modelling was used to examine how modelled residential exposure annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), particulate matter (PM 2.5, PM 10 ) ozone (O 3 measures μg/m , associated with pressure. Estimates were based 3,284 adolescents; 80% from ethnic minority groups, recruited 51...
Abstract Purpose No known UK empirical research has investigated prospective associations between ambient air pollutants and conduct problems in adolescence. Ethnic minority children are disproportionately exposed to structural factors that could moderate any observed relationships. This study examined whether exposure PM 2.5 NO 2 concentrations is associated with adolescence, racism or ethnicity such associations. Methods Longitudinal annual mean estimated at the residential address...
Introduction Many individuals living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are unaware of their diagnosis and/or have not been linked to programs providing HCV care. The use electronic medical record (EMR) systems may assist infection identification and linkage Methods In October 2021, we implemented serology-focused best practice alerts (BPAs) at Ottawa Hospital (TOH) via our EMR (EPIC). Our BPAs were programmed identify previously tested seropositive individuals. Physicians prompted conduct RNA...
Loneliness, a feeling of distress, has aggravated due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and reduced social interactions. The objective this study was explore whether increased loneliness associated with various health behaviours in adolescence, critical period for development lasting lifestyle habits. We used self-reported data from 40,521 Canadian adolescents aged 12-19 years (collected between November 2020 June 2021) cross-sectional study. Logistic regression predict odds skipping...
