Black populations in the United States are being disproportionately affected by COVID-19 pandemic, but increased mortality burden after accounting for health and other demographic characteristics is not well understood. We examined of individuals who died from Michigan race stratified their age, sex comorbidity prevalence to illustrate understand this disparity risk.
Objective The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) monitor accidental intentional deaths to answer questions that are critical the development of effective prevention resource allocation. 's National Violent Death Reporting System NVDRS is a major innovation in surveillance linking individual‐level data from multiple sources. However, suicide underreporting common, particularly drug overdose deaths. This study sought assess machine learning ML techniques quantifying rates....
Abstract Background Death records are a rich source of data, which can be used to assist with public surveillance and/or decision support. However, use this type data for such purposes it has transformed into coded format make computable. Because the cause death in certificates is reported as free text, encoding currently single largest barrier using surveillance. Therefore, purpose study was demonstrate feasibility pipeline, composed detection rule and natural language processor, real time...

PND poses significant health risks for both mothers their children yet remains largely unaddressed due stigma limited resources. In collaboration with Mental Health Coalition, Leone, Project Peanut Butter established first cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) service district...
Integration of disparate information from electronic health records, clinical data warehouses, birth certificate registries and other public systems offers great potential for care, practice, research. Such integration, however, depends on correctly matching patient-specific records using demographic identifiers. Without standards these identifiers, record linkage is complicated by issues structural semantic heterogeneity.Objectives: Our objectives were to develop validate an ontology to: 1)...

Abstract Black populations in the US are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 pandemic, but increased mortality burden after accounting for health and demographic characteristics is not well understood. We evaluated Michigan using individual-level death certificate surveillance data from Department of Health Human Services March 16 to October 26, 2020. Among 6,065 COVID-19-related deaths, individuals experienced 3.6 times rate as White individuals. under 65 years without comorbidities had...
