After its emergence in Wuhan, China, late November or early December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus rapidly spread globally. Genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 allows reconstruction transmission history, although this is contingent on sampling. We analyzed 453 genomes collected between 20 February and 15 March 2020 from infected patients Washington state United States. find that most infections sampled during time derive a single introduction...
<b>Objective</b> To investigate the basis and added value of clinicians' "gut feeling" that infections in children are more serious than suggested by clinical assessment. <b>Design</b> Observational study. <b>Setting</b> Primary care setting, Flanders, Belgium. <b>Participants</b> Consecutive series 3890 young people aged 0-16 years presenting primary care. <b>Main outcome measures</b> Presenting features, assessment, doctors' intuitive response at first contact with care, any subsequent...
The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has gravely affected societies around the world. Outbreaks in different parts globe have been shaped by repeated introductions new viral lineages and subsequent local transmission those lineages. Here, we sequenced 3940 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Washington State (USA) to characterize how early 2020 was differences timing mitigation strategies across counties into state. In addition, show that increase frequency a...
A unique four-plexed RT-LAMP test kit operated by health workers can provide faster, more sensitive results than laboratory tests.
<h3>Background</h3> General surgeons form a crucial component of the medical workforce in rural areas United States. Any decline their numbers could have profound effects on access to adequate health care such areas. <h3>Hypothesis</h3> We hypothesize that States are relatively undersupplied with general surgeons. <h3>Design and Setting</h3> The American Medical Association's Physician Masterfile was used identify all clinically active as well locations characteristics. Their geographic...
<b>Objective</b> To assess the impact on adverse outcomes of different antibiotic prescribing strategies for lower respiratory tract infections in people aged 16 years or more. <b>Design</b> Prospective cohort study. <b>Setting</b> UK general practice. <b>Participants</b> 28 883 patients with infection; symptoms, signs, and were recorded at index consultation. <b>Main outcome measures</b> The main reconsultation symptoms infection 30 days after consultation, hospital...
Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to public health, with most antibiotics prescribed in primary care. General practitioners (GPs) report defensive antibiotic prescribing mitigate perceived risk of future hospital admission children respiratory tract infections. We developed clinical rule aimed reduce uncertainty by stratifying admission.8394 aged between 3 months and 16 years presenting acute cough (for ≤28 days) infection were recruited prognostic cohort study from 247 general...
Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis of group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis recommend use a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and/or bacterial culture. This study evaluated overall and treatment acute in United States, including predictors type antibiotic prescription.A retrospective analysis events from 2011 through 2015 was conducted using MarketScan commercial/Medicare databases. event defined as occurring within 2 weeks index visit. Patient provider characteristics were examined...
Background Reports on medium and long-term sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infections largely lack quantification incidence relative risk. We describe the rationale methods Innovative Support for Patients with Registry (INSPIRE) that combines patient-reported outcomes data from digital health records to understand predictors impacts infection. Methods INSPIRE is a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal study individuals symptoms infection in eight regions across US. Adults are eligible enrollment if...
Abstract Background Internationally, 20% to 50% of cancer is diagnosed through emergency presentation, which associated with lower survival, poor patient experience, and socioeconomic disparities, but population-based evidence about diagnosis in the United States limited. We estimated department (ED) involvement a nationally representative population older US adults, its association sociodemographic, clinical, tumor characteristics. Methods analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results...
