<h3>Importance</h3> Black and Hispanic populations have higher rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalization mortality than White but lower in-hospital case-fatality rates. The extent to which neighborhood characteristics comorbidity explain these disparities is unclear. Outcomes in Asian American not been explored. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare COVID-19 outcomes based on race ethnicity assess the association any with characteristics. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>...
Background The influence of social media among adolescent peer groups can be a powerful change agent. Objective Our scoping review aimed to elucidate the ways in which use peers influences eating behaviors. Methods A literature articles published from journal inception 2019 was performed by searching PubMed (ie, MEDLINE), Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web Science, and other databases. conducted three steps: (1) identification research question clarification criteria using population,...
To determine the effect of self-reported clinical diagnosis obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on longitudinal changes in brain amyloid PET and CSF biomarkers (Aβ42, T-tau, P-tau) cognitively normal (NL), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD) elderly.
Polysomnography remains the cornerstone of objective testing in sleep medicine and results massive amounts electrophysiological data, which is well-suited for analysis with artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools. Combined other sources health AI expected to provide new insights inform clinical care disorders advance our understanding integral role plays human health. Additionally, has potential streamline day-to-day operations therefore optimize direct patient by team. However, clinicians,...
Sleep medicine is well positioned to benefit from advances that use big data create artificially intelligent computer programs.One obvious initial application in the sleep disorders center assisted (or enhanced) scoring of and associated events during polysomnography (PSG).This position statement outlines potential opportunities limitations integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into practice medicine.Additionally, although most apparent immediate AI our field PSG, we propose clinical...
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health technological innovations from startup companies used in clinical practice can yield better outcomes, reduce care costs, improve patients' experience. However, the integration, translation, adoption of these technologies into are plagued with many challenges lagging. Furthermore, explanations impediments to translation largely unknown have not been systematically studied perspective AI founders executives. Objective The aim this...
The association between stressful childhood experiences (SCE) and psychotic symptoms is still not clearly understood, different causal pathways have been proposed. Generalized estimating equation modeling was used to test the dose–response relationship SCE delusions hallucinations at baseline follow-up periods possible confounding effects of dissociation on this relationship. prevalence in individuals with disorders high, more co-occurring categories being positively associated types...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Psychological conditions are increasingly linked with cardiovascular disorders. We aimed to examine the association between psychological distress and hypertension. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> used data from National Health Interview Survey for 2004-2013. Hypertension was self-reported 6-item Kessler Distress Scale assess (a score ≥13 indicated distress). a logistic regression model test assumption that hypertension...
A wealth of scientific knowledge is being generated in sleep and circadian science.In order for us to realize the return on investment such improve health nation, we need disseminate implement research findings into practice.An implementation gap-termed a "quality chasm" by Institutes Medicine-separates possess preventative interventions or healthcare treatments.It frequently reported that time lag 17 years transpires before medical reaches clinical practice.The rapid development new...
Background: Mobile phone and tablet ownership have increased in the United States over last decade, contributing to growing use of mobile health (mHealth) interventions help patients manage chronic conditions like diabetes. However, few studies characterized device presence health-related apps on devices people with a self-reported history hypertension. Objective: This study aimed describe prevalence smartphone, tablet, basic by sociodemographic factors hypertension status (ie, history)...
The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression‐10 (CES‐D‐10) scale is known its good psychometric properties in measuring depressive symptoms, however, some researchers question applicability across various settings. This study explored the factor structure of CES‐D‐10 low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). cross‐sectional survey consisted 16,723 university students 27 LMICs that completed self‐report instruments assessing socio‐demographic information symptoms using CES‐D‐10. Data...
Abstract Conventional neuropsychological assessments for Alzheimer’s disease are burdensome and inaccurate at detecting mild cognitive impairment predicting risk. Altoida’s Digital Neuro Signature (DNS), a longitudinal test consisting of two active digital biomarker metrics, alleviates these limitations. By comparison to conventional assessments, DNS results in faster evaluations (10 min vs 45–120 min), generates higher test-retest intraindividual assessment, as well accuracy abnormal...
Abstract Study Objectives To examine associations among instructional approaches, school start times, and sleep during the COVID-19 pandemic in a large, nationwide sample of U.S. adolescents. Methods Cross-sectional, anonymous self-report survey study community-dwelling adolescents (grades 6–12), recruited through social media outlets October/November 2020. Participants reported on approach (in-person, online/synchronous, online/asynchronous) for each weekday (past week), times (in-person or...
Members of the Black, Asian, and Latinx community have been particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 pandemic but may be hesitant vaccinate. In a December 2020 study in adults U.S. (n = 779), only 50% Black respondents endorsed intending vaccinate against COVID-19, followed by 65% 75% Asian participants, respectively. Medical mistrust, fears about contamination, proclivity for compulsive checking behaviors related were significant predictors intent respondents. Similarly, respondents’ was...
Background Population estimates of sleep duration and quality are inconsistent because they rely primarily on self-reported data. Passive ubiquitous digital tracking wearable devices may provide more accurate quality. Objective This study aimed to identify trends in New York City based 2 million nights data from users a popular mobile app. Methods We examined using 2,161,067 captured 2015 2018 by Sleep Cycle, sleep-tracking In this analysis, we explored differences parameters demographic...
(a) Background: In patients with sleep apnea, poor adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy has been associated mortality. Regional studies have suggested that lower socioeconomic status is worse PAP but population-level data lacking. (b) Methods: De-identified from a nationally representative database of devices was geo-linked sociodemographic information. (c) Results: 170,641 patients, those in the lowest quartile median household income had (4.1 + 2.6 hrs/night; 39.6% adherent...
