Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Current estimates on burden cancer are needed for control planning.
The scale-up of tobacco control, especially after the adoption Framework Convention for Tobacco Control, is a major public health success story. Nonetheless, smoking remains leading risk early death and disability worldwide, therefore continues to require sustained political commitment. Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) offers robust platform through which global, regional, national progress toward achieving smoking-related targets can be assessed.We synthesised 2818...
Acute meningitis has a high case-fatality rate and survivors can have severe lifelong disability. We aimed to provide comprehensive assessment of the levels trends global burden that could help guide introduction, continuation, ongoing development vaccines treatment programmes.
High prevalence of diabetes has been reported in the Americas, but no comprehensive analysis burden and related factors for region is available. We aimed to describe type 1 2 that hyperglycaemia Americas from 1990 2019.We used estimates GBD 2019 evaluate adults aged 20 years or older high fasting plasma glucose 25 39 countries territories six regions 2019. The main source estimate mortality attributable chronic kidney disease due was vital registration. Mortality overall (ie, disease)...
On May 15, 2014, CDC was notified of two laboratory-confirmed measles cases in the Federated States Micronesia (FSM), after 20 years with no reported measles. FSM assisted by World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and investigating suspected cases, identify contacts, conduct analyses to guide outbreak vaccination response, review vaccine cold chain practices. During February–August, three FSM’s four states cases: Kosrae (139 cases), Pohnpei (251), Chuuk...
Little is known about cervical cancer screening strategy utilization (cytology alone, cytology plus high-risk human papillomavirus [HPV] testing [cotesting], primary HPV testing) and test results in the United States.
Abstract Background Incidence of anal squamous cell carcinoma is increasing, but vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) and removal precancerous lesions could prevent new cases. The overall HPV-associated cancer incidence reported to be higher in rural populations counties with lower economic status. We assessed these differences specifically for described the geographic, county-level economic, sociodemographic variations rates trends. Methods analyzed data from US Cancer Statistics...
Background. A measles outbreak in Pohnpei State, Federated States of Micronesia 2014 affected many persons who had received ≥1 dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV). mass vaccination campaign targeted aged 6 months to 49 years, regardless prior vaccination. Methods. We evaluated effectiveness (VE) MCV by comparing secondary attack rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated contacts after household exposure measles. Results. Among 318 contacts, VE for precampaign was 23.1% (95% confidence...
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is responsible for 30% neonatal morbidity and mortality in gestations. We sought to evaluate pregnancy outcomes PPROM managed uniformly with antibiotics steroids, determine what maternal factors influence latency. This was a retrospective analysis 134 patients at 24 31.9 weeks PPROM. Associations characteristics latency were evaluated by chi-square linear trend, nonparametric tests, or multivariable regression, as appropriate. Forty-three women...
Background: Female breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers are the leading incident among American Indian Alaska Native (AI/AN) non-Hispanic White (NHW) persons in United States. To understand racial differences, we assessed incidence rates, analyzed trends, examined geographic variation by Health Service regions. Methods: assess differences incidence, used age-adjusted rates to calculate rate ratios (RRs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Using joinpoint regression, trends over time...
Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is characterized by distinct facial features, growth retardation, upper limb reduction defects, hirsutism, and intellectual disability. NIPBL mutations have been identified in approximately 60% of patients with CdLS diagnosed postnatally. Prenatal ultrasound findings include intrauterine restriction, micrognathia. has also associated decreased PAPP-A increased nuchal translucency (NT). We reviewed sequence analysis results for 12 prenatal samples our...
Abstract We estimated the population-level incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)–positive oropharyngeal, cervical, and anal cancers by smoking status. combined HPV DNA genotyping data from Centers for Disease Control Prevention’s Cancer Registry Sentinel Surveillance System with Kentucky Behavioral Risk Factor across During 2004-2005 2014-2015 in Kentucky, most cases oropharyngeal (63.3%), (59.7%), cervical (54.9%) cancer were among individuals who ever smoked. The rate was higher smoked...
Abstract Hysterectomy protects against cervical cancer when the cervix is removed. However, measures of incidence often fail to exclude women with a hysterectomy from population-at-risk denominator, underestimating and distorting disease burden. In this study, we estimated prevalence Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys remove who were not at risk denominator combined these estimates US Cancer Statistics data. From data, calculated age-specific age-standardized rates for aged...
