The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan December 2019 became a pandemic within few months of its discovery. impact COVID-19 is due to both rapid spread and severity, but the determinants severity have not been fully delineated. Identify factors associated with hospitalization racially ethnically diverse cohort patients. We analyzed data from patients diagnosed at University Cincinnati health system March 13, 2020 May 31, 2020. Severe was defined as admission intensive...
Inhaled endotoxin induces airway inflammation and is an established risk factor for asthma. The 2005-2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey included measures of allergens in homes as well specific IgE to inhalant allergens.
Objectives. To determine the prevalence trends of osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and other types in United States from 1999 to 2014. Methods. We analyzed data on 43 706 community-dwelling adults aged 20 years older who participated 1999–2014 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys. accounted for survey design sampling weights so that estimates were nationally representative. assessed temporal age-standardized by using joinpoint regression. Results. Age-adjusted was...
Abstract Health effects of heavy metals have been widely investigated, but further evaluation is required to comprehensively delineate their toxicity. Using data from the 2007–2008 National and Nutrition Examination Survey, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on 1,857 adults examine relationship between urinary various medical conditions. Cardiovascular diseases were correlated cadmium (OR: 4.94, 95% CI: 1.48–16.56) lead 5.32, 1.08–26.21). Asthma related tungsten 1.72,...
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, but its association with mortality unclear. Methods We analysed data on adult participants in 1988–94 and 1999–2010 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys, followed for through 2011. OA was defined by self-report, a subset of 60 years or older knee X-rays, radiographic (RKOA) as Kellgren–Lawrence score ≥2. Cox proportional hazards were used to determine hazard ratio (HR) associated self-reported RKOA, adjusting...
Abstract Background and objective Ecological studies have suggested an association between exposure to particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) severity. However, these findings are yet be validated in individual‐level studies. We aimed determine the of long‐term PM with hospitalization among individual patients infected severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Methods estimated 10‐year (2009–2018) at residential zip code COVID‐19 diagnosed University...
Blood biomarkers are easily accessible and might reflect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) activity.The aim of this study was to determine whether a panel blood [C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophils, eosinophils, albumin vitamin D] could predict mortality in COPD.We analyzed data from 431 COPD participants the 2007-2010 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys who were followed for median time 36 months. defined as post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume 1 second (FEV1)...
House endotoxin and ambient air pollution are risk factors for asthma; however, the effects of their coexposure on asthma not well characterized.
Chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRD) increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, which in turn may worsen lung function. Metformin, a common antidiabetic with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, improve outcomes. Therefore, we examined association metformin use mortality from CLRD.
Abstract Background Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases; however, studies on antioxidant vitamins and outcomes have been conflicting. We evaluated whether lower serum levels A, C, D, E are associated with morbidity mortality U.S. adult population. Methods conducted pooled analysis data from 1988–1994 1999–2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (participants aged ≥ 20 years). estimated covariate-adjusted odds ratios (aOR) per interquartile...
Exposure to endotoxin has been widely investigated as a potential factor for asthma and associated symptoms in children with different results. To clarify relationship, we performed the present meta-analysis integrate results of studies examining association exposure wheeze children.A search relevant reviews was conducted MEDLINE, Highwire, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library databases. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) or were retrieved pooled generate summary...
Abstract Background Perceived to be distinct, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can co‐exist potentially have a worse prognosis than the separate diseases. Yet, little is known about exact prevalence characteristics of Asthma‐COPD overlap (ACO) in US population. Aims To determine ACO United States, identify predictors, examine association with COPD severity, describe distinctive spirometry laboratory features ACO. Methods Data on adult participants National Health...
Neonicotinoids are the most used pesticides in world and, despite being harmful to honeybees, they considered safe for mammals. However, have been associated with decreasing testosterone levels several experimental animal models. In present study, we aimed determine association of urinary neonicotinoids serum humans. We analyzed data on 2014 male and female participants National Health Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2015 2016 aged 6 or older. linear regression adjusted age...
