Rationale: Low maximally attained lung function increases the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease irrespective subsequent rate decline.Objectives: We aimed to determine if there were individuals with a distinct, persistently low trajectory in CRS (Tucson Children’s Respiratory Study).Methods: The CRS, an ongoing birth cohort study, enrolled 1,246 participants between 1980 and 1984. Latent class linear mixed effects modeling ratio FEV1 FVC was used identify distinct trajectories...
The BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was recommended by CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for persons aged 12-15 years (referred to as adolescents in this report) May 12, 2021, and children 5-11 November 2, 2021 (1-4). Real-world data effectiveness (VE) these age groups are needed, especially because when the B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant became predominant United States December early investigations of VE demonstrated a decline protection against symptomatic...
<h3>Background:</h3> Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) and predicts hospitalisation for acute exacerbation, in-hospital post-discharge mortality. Although β blockers improve cardiovascular outcomes, COPD often do not receive them owing to concerns about possible adverse effects. There are no published data blocker use among inpatients exacerbations. A study was undertaken identify factors associated this setting determine...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a wearable sleep-tracker improves perceived sleep quality in healthy participants and test wearables reliably measure quantity compared with polysomnography.This included single-center randomized crossover trial community-based without medical conditions or disorders. A device (WHOOP, Inc.) used that provided feedback regarding information the participant for 1 week maintained logs versus alone. Self-reported daily behaviors were documented...
Background: Health literacy has been associated with health disparities in many disease outcomes, including children's asthma. Parents are responsible for most of healthcare. Therefore, parents' may impact asthma control. This study sought to determine the association between parent and control among a cohort predominately minority urban children aged 6 12 years. Methods: cross-sectional assessed their parents at single outpatient visit. English-speaking children, years physician-diagnosed...
The BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) mRNA COVID-19 vaccine has demonstrated high efficacy in preventing infection with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) randomized placebo-controlled Phase III trials persons aged 12-17 years (referred to as adolescents this report) (1); however, data on real-word effectiveness (VE) among are limited (1-3). As of December 2021, the Pfizer-BioNTech is approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 16-17 under FDA emergency use authorization those 12-15...
Importance Data on the epidemiology of mild to moderately severe COVID-19 are needed inform public health guidance. Objective To evaluate associations between 2 or 3 doses mRNA vaccine and attenuation symptoms viral RNA load across SARS-CoV-2 lineages. Design, Setting, Participants A prospective cohort study essential frontline workers in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Utah with infection confirmed by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction testing lineage classified...
We aimed to determine the effectiveness of school-based supervised asthma therapy in improving control. The primary hypothesis was that supervised-therapy group would have a smaller proportion children experiencing an episode poor control each month, compared with those usual-care group.Children were eligible if they had physician-diagnosed persistent asthma, need for daily controller medication, and ability use dry-powder inhaler peak flowmeter. trial used 2-group, randomized, longitudinal...
Aerobic exercise appears to have clinical benefits for many asthmatics, yet a complete understanding of the mechanisms underlying these has not been elucidated at this time.The objective study was determine feasibility larger, future that will define effect aerobic on cellular, molecular, and functional measures in adults with mild-moderate asthma.Recruited subjects were randomized into usual care (sedentary) or moderate intensity treatment groups.Nineteen asthma but without recent history...
Many advances in health care fail to reach patients. Implementation science is the study of novel approaches mitigate this evidence-to-practice gap.The American Thoracic Society (ATS) created a multidisciplinary ad hoc committee develop research statement on implementation pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. The used an iterative consensus process define review use conceptual frameworks guide for community explore how professional medical societies such as ATS can promote...
BackgroundThe Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) is a patient-centered tool for evaluating asthma control. It has been validated in adults, but not well-validated among children.ObjectiveWe evaluated the reliability, validity, and responsiveness to change of ACQ assessing control children ages 6 17 years. A threshold value poor disease minimally important difference were also determined.MethodsData from 305 asthmatic enrolled clinical trial examined. The was administered at 8 visits. We...
To reduce chronic school absenteeism and morbidity mortality among school-aged children, the prompt administration of albuterol sulfate in schools remains vital. School-based stock inhaler programs are a practical approach to ensure equitable access life-saving rescue medication for students. School community partnerships can potentially strengthen program implementation fidelity by integrating evidence-based practices into routine care. We report findings novel practice facilitation model...
