OBJECTIVE To evaluate the temporal patterns of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM) and depression in White Caucasians (WCs) African Americans (AAs) with early-onset type 2 diabetes their impact on long-term atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From U.S. electronic medical records, 101,104 AA 505,336 WC subjects diagnosed between 2000 2017 were identified (mean follow-up 5.3 years). Among those without ASCVD at diagnosis, risk three-point major adverse...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate temporal prevalence trend, cardiometabolic risk factors, and the of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) all-cause mortality (ACM) in incident young- usual-onset type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From U.K. primary care database, 370,854 people with a new diagnosis diabetes from 2000 to 2017 were identified. Analyses conducted by age- group (18–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79 years) high-/low-risk status without history ASCVD at diagnosis, subjects...
BACKGROUND: Patient perception of physician compassion may be associated with improved health outcomes, yet it is unclear whether postoperative pain reduction or patient experience metrics in same-day surgery patients. We hypothesized that higher anesthesiologist during the preanesthesia interview, rated by patients, lower via anxiety pathway also performed exploratory correlation analysis to assess was less opioid consumption and METHODS: conducted a single-center, prospective,...
Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures safeguard primary healthcare systems, especially as the infectious disease landscape evolves due to climate environmental change, increased global mobility, vaccine hesitancy inequity, which can introduce unexpected pathogens. This study explores importance of an "always-on," low-cost IPC approach, focusing on role natural ventilation in health facilities, particularly low-resource settings. Ambient carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) levels are...
We aimed to investigate the prevalence and incidence of depression, interplay cardiometabolic comorbidities, in differentiation depression risk between young-onset diabetes (diagnosis at age <40 years) usual-onset ≥40 years).Using electronic medical records from UK USA, retrospective cohorts adults with incident type 2 diagnosed 2006 2017 were examined. Trends developing participants compared assessed separately by sex comorbidity status.In total 230,932/1,143,122 people UK/USA (mean 58/60...
Electronic medical record (EMR)-based clinical and epidemiological research has dramatically increased over the last decade, although establishing generalizability of such big databases for conducting studies been an ongoing challenge. To draw meaningful inferences from studies, it is essential to fully understand characteristics underlying population potential biases in EMRs.This study aimed assess representativity widely used US Centricity Medical Record (CEMR), a primary ambulatory care...
Introduction Total ankle replacement is indicated for end-stage osteoarthritis. Periprosthetic radiolucency, from separation between the bone and implant, suggested to be indicative of potential prosthesis failure risk. Anchoring implants with cement may mitigate this. This study aimed compare rates periprosthetic radiolucency patients cement-affixed cementless implants. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 28 who underwent total INFINITY Ankle System (Wright Medical, Memphis,...
Objective: To evaluate the temporal trend in young adult depression, prescription patterns of first- and second-line antidepressants, factors influencing therapy intensification for depression stratified by sex.Methods: A retrospective cohort people aged ≥ 18 years with incident between 2006 2017 was extracted from Centricity Electronic Medical Records.Results: Among 2,201,086 (82% on antidepressants), mean age 47 years, 29% were male, 40% had cardiometabolic multimorbidity, 32% diagnosed at...

Nosocomial Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia results in a significant increase morbidity and mortality hospitalized patients. We aimed to analyze the impact of applying 10% povidone iodine (PI) twice daily both nares addition chlorhexidine (CHG) bathing on nosocomial critically ill A quality improvement study was completed with pre post-design. The period from January 2018 until February 2020 2021 June 2021. control (from May 2019) consisted CHG alone,...
BackgroundThere is a paucity of recent literature investigating the sole effect income level on treatment and survival patients with rectal cancer.MethodsWe analyzed all cases cancer in Rectal Cancer PUF NCDB from 2010-2020. We utilized Median Income Quartiles 2016-2020 to define our levels. The two lower quartiles were combined create group, upper creating higher group. total cohort included 201,329 patients, 116,843 84,486 groups, respectively.ResultsLower more often black (17% vs 6%),...

Single plate fixation shaft when performing open reduction internal (ORIF). A role may exist dual This study aims to compare clinical outcomes single versus dual-plating ORIF procedures on Methods retrospective 143 patients (81 females, 62 males; mean age 47.3) who sustained (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopedic Trauma Association...
Vitamin D insufficiency has been linked to multiple conditions including bone disease, respiratory cardiovascular diabetes, and cancer. Observational studies indicate lower healthcare costs utilization with sufficient vitamin levels. The secondary aims of our previously published pragmatic clinical trial D3 supplementation were comparisons utilization. Comparisons made between the at 5000 IU group a non-supplemented control group. Costs care groups differed but not statistically significant....
Aim: Temporal trend in the prevalence and incidence of depression (DP), any mental illness (AMI) use anti-depressants (ADM) incident T2DM pts is not well known. We evaluate these trends risk developing DP young real world settings from U.S. UK. Method: Adults with diagnosis (Dx) 2000 Centricity Electronic Medical Records The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database UK were examined. Results: In (n= 1,395,572)/UK 343,714) cohorts, age at Dx was 59/58 years, 2/8% had but on ADM, 16/10% ADM...
