Documentation of patterns and long-term trends in mortality young people, which reflect huge changes demographic social determinants adolescent health, enables identification global investment priorities for this age group. We aimed to analyse data on the number deaths, years life lost, rates by sex group people aged 10-24 204 countries territories from 1950 2019 use estimates Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.
In-hospital mortality rates from COVID-19 are high but appear to be decreasing for selected locations in the United States. It is not known whether this because of changes characteristics patients being admitted.To describe changing in-hospital over time after accounting individual patient characteristics.This was a retrospective cohort study 20 736 adults with diagnosis who were included US American Heart Association Cardiovascular Disease Registry and admitted 107 acute care hospitals 31...
Accurate, comprehensive, cause-specific mortality estimates are crucial for informing public health decision making worldwide. Incorrectly or vaguely assigned deaths, defined as garbage-coded mask the true cause distribution. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study has developed methods to create comparable, timely, estimates; an impactful data processing method is reallocation deaths a plausible underlying death. We identify pattern in world and present used determine their redistribution...
Abstract The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of and 83,400 deaths children under 5 years old, 99% both occurred low- middle-income countries (LMICs) 1–4 . Globally comparable, annual, local estimates routine first-dose measles-containing (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP),...
Abstract The escalating concern over the presence and health implications of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in drinking water has underscored need for rigorous risk assessments. Our study aimed to quantify both non-carcinogenic carcinogenic risks associated with exposure selected PTEs—namely arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd). Also, we evaluated ingestion skin contact exposures during summer winter using metrics such as hazard quotient (HQ), index (HI), cancer (CR) children, adult...
In non-pharmaceutical management of COVID-19, occupancy intensive care units (ICU) is often used as an indicator to inform when intensify mitigation and thus reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission, strain on ICUs, deaths. However, ICU thresholds at which action should be taken are selected arbitrarily. We propose a quantitative approach using mathematical modeling identify triggered avoid exceeding the capacity available for COVID-19 patients demonstrate this United States city Chicago. stochastic...
Background and Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be associated with increased risk for ischemic stroke. We present prevalence characteristics of strokes in patients laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection enrolled the American Heart Association COVID-19 Cardiovascular Disease Registry. Methods: In this quality improvement registry study, we examined demographic, baseline clinical characteristics, in-hospital outcomes among hospitalized...
<h3>Purpose:</h3> To describe use of complementary health approaches (CHAs) among patients with type 2 diabetes, and independent associations between CHA Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) lower-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. <h3>Methods:</h3> Participants were enrolled onto the SMARTSteps Program, a diabetes self-management support program conducted 2009 2013 in San Francisco. At 6-month interview, prior 30 days was estimated using 12-item validated instrument. Demographic diabetes-related...
In California, the annual number of children under age 6 y with blood lead levels (BLL) ≥10 lg=dL is estimated at over 1,000 cases, and up to 10,000 cases when BLL between 4:5 9:5 are included.State-issued health alerts for food contamination provide one strategy tracking sources food-related exposures.As well, California passed legislation in 2006 Food Drug Branch (FDB) state department test identify candy.This report presents alert data from a 14-y period, compares before after candy...
There is little data describing trends in the use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 following publication randomized trials that failed to demonstrate a benefit this therapy. We identified 13,957 patients admitted active at 85 U.S. hospitals participating national registry between March 1 and August 31, 2020. The overall proportion receiving peaked 55.2% April decreased 4.8% May June 0.8% July August. At hospital-level, median was 59.4% (IQR 48.5-71.5%, range 0-100%) 0.3% 0-5.4%, by 0%...
INTRODUCTION: To explore providers’ perceptions of the need for a racial equity training and recommendations on strategies that can be used to improve black women’s reproductive health outcomes. METHODS: January-March 2019 we conducted 25 semi-structured interviews (30-60 minutes) with diverse group prenatal care providers practicing in San Francisco Bay Area. Providers were recruited through email correspondences department meetings. Culturally concordant qualitatively trained researcher...
