<h3>Importance</h3> The circumstances surrounding the 2016 US presidential election have been proposed as a significant stressor in lives of Latino population. Few studies to date, however, evaluated population health implications for Latina mothers and their children. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether preterm births (gestational age, <37 weeks) among women increased above expected levels after election. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this national population-based study,...
Head injury is associated with significant short-term morbidity and mortality. Research regarding the implications of head for long-term survival in community-dwelling adults remains limited.
Importance Psychosis is a hypothesized consequence of cannabis use. Legalization could therefore be associated with an increase in rates health care utilization for psychosis. Objective To evaluate the association state medical and recreational laws commercialization psychosis-related utilization. Design, Setting, Participants Retrospective cohort design using state-level panel fixed effects to model within-state changes monthly claims as function policy level, adjusting time-varying...
ABSTRACT Background Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is associated with significant short‐term morbidity and mortality. Whether PPH confers long‐term all‐cause mortality risk unknown. Objective To examine the of PPH. Methods The Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) Mortality Linkage Study a prospective cohort study pregnant persons (1959–1966) linked vital status from National Death Index Social Security Master File for through 2016. was defined based on documentation within or after 24 hours...
Importance Long-term exposure to total fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a recognized dementia risk factor, but less known about wildfire-generated PM , an increasingly common source. Objective To assess the association between long-term wildfire and nonwildfire of incident dementia. Design, Setting, Participants This open cohort study was conducted using January 2008 December 2019 electronic health record (EHR) data among members Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC), which serves...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact extended delay surgery for stage I NSCLC.During COVID-19 pandemic, patients with NSCLC may experience delays in care, and some national guidelines recommend by >3 months early NSCLC.Using data from National Lung Screening Trial, a multi-center randomized trial, Cancer Data Base, multi-institutional oncology registry, "early" versus "delayed" (surgery received 0-30 vs 90-120 days after diagnosis) lung adenocarcinoma squamous cell carcinoma...
<h3>Importance</h3> State cannabis laws are changing rapidly. Research is inconclusive about their association with rates of self-harm and assault. Existing studies have not considered variations in commercialization across states over time. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the state medical recreational assault, overall by age sex, while considering varying degrees commercialization. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Using a cohort design panel fixed-effects analysis, within-state...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the association of short‐term exposure to overall fine particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) and wildfire‐specific PM with emergency department (ED) visits for headache. Background Studies have reported associations between headache risk. As climate change drives longer more intense wildfire seasons, may contribute frequent headaches. Methods Our study included adult Californian members (aged ≥18 years) a large de‐identified commercial Medicare Advantage...
This cross-sectional study estimates trends in stroke prevalence representative of the noninstitutionalized civilian population US adults 20 years and older using data from 1999 to 2018 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys.

Within the US opioid epidemic, is emerging as troubling national sub‐story. The prevalence within illicitly manufactured opioids proportion opioid‐involved overdose deaths with detected are rising dramatically, latter increasing 276% between 2019 2022. A 27‐year‐old woman disorder, active intravenous drug use,...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Anti‐amyloid antibody therapies such as lecanemab are increasingly being used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). These associated with a high rate of amyloid‐related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). METHODS We review the case history patient who developed ARIA treatment. RESULTS In addition microhemorrhages and cerebral edema that recognized features ARIA, several ischemic strokes. The also experienced frequent electrographic seizures without overt clinical seizures....
Deaths due to overdose and suicide together comprise an urgent public health challenge. Using VHA electronic records, we identified patients with high-risk Emergency Department (ED) visits related suicidality or between January 2010-September 2019 using diagnostic codes from the International Classification of Diseases. We calculated standardized mortality ratios (SMR) for 90-day all-cause cause-specific associated ED compared other users, all US general population. Among 20,382,060...
Importance Although past research suggests an association between migraine and attempted suicide, there is limited regarding risk of completed suicide across headache disorders.

Design, Setting, Participants This was a population-based cohort study Danish citizens from 1995 to 2020. The setting in Denmark, population 5.6 million people. Persons 15 years...
Limited evidence exists on stroke incidence and its impact dementia risk in Asian American older adults, a population with lower than other racial ethnic groups. We aimed to estimate the cumulative of assess effect over 10 years among Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, South Asian, non-Latino White adults Northern California. This cohort study included Kaiser Permanente California members who participated surveys between 2002 2009 linked electronic health record data through 2020. participants...
Although neurodegenerative diseases are a leading cause of death, little is known about health care utilization and cost during the end-of-life (EoL) period or how it compares with that other life-limiting conditions. We aimed to describe compare resource among US Medicare decedents cancer.
