Shortages in transplantable solid organs remain a critical public health challenge the United States. During past 2 decades, all states have implemented policies to increase organ supply, although their effectiveness is unknown.To determine effects on donation and transplantation rates of state provide incentives for volunteer donation.Using quasi-experimental design difference-in-differences regression analyses, we estimated effect 50 District Columbia donors per capita number...
Government agencies are rapidly developing web portals to proactively publish "open" data that searchable, available in nonproprietary formats, and with unlimited use distribution rights. In this dynamic environment, we aimed understand the experiences of 2 early leaders open health data, US Department Health Human Services New York State Health.Semistructured interviews 40 practitioners policymakers elicited value propositions, capabilities required for successful programs, strategies...
Structural barriers to HIV care are particularly challenging in the US South, which has higher diagnosis rates, poverty, uninsurance, stigma, and rurality, fewer comprehensive public health programs versus other regions. Focusing on one structural barrier, we examined geographic accessibility comprehensive, coordinated (HIVCCC) South. We integrated publicly available data study travel time HIVCCC 16 Southern states District of Columbia. geocoded service locations estimated drive between...
Achieving US state and municipal benchmarks to end the HIV epidemic promote health equity requires access comprehensive care. However, this care may not be geographically accessible for all people living with (PLHIV). We estimated county-level drive time suboptimal geographic accessibility across contiguous US, assessing regional urban-rural differences. integrated publicly available data from four federal databases identify geocode sites providing in 2015, defined as co-located provision of...
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an endogenous of the extrinsic that negatively regulates thrombin production during coagulation. Under haemophilic conditions, where intrinsic coagulation impaired, inhibition TFPI may improve clotting.We investigated ex vivo effects a human neutralizing antibody, marstacimab (previously PF-06741086), in assays including rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), generation assay (TGA) and dilute prothrombin time (dPT) assay, performed whole blood...
Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, US government has promoted household disaster preparedness, but preparedness remains low.To identify disparities in among households.This cross-sectional study used data from a nationally representative sample of households 2017 American Housing Survey's topical section to assess associations with households' socioeconomic characteristics, composition, and region. Logistic regressions were characteristics overall resource- action-based...

This manuscript describes an updated spreadsheet tool that sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention programs in the United States can use to estimate health and economic benefits of their STI HIV activities. The development tool, STIC (Sexually Transmitted Infection Costs) Figure 2.0, involved two main components. First, we revised be more useful user-friendly based on feedback from focus groups usability testing. Second, mathematical model behind calculations by (1) revising reflect...

From June 2003 through October 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released five safety warnings related to antidepressant use increased risk of suicidality for children. Although researchers have documented a decline in among children over this period, less is known about whether specific information conveyed individual was reflected treatment patterns.
Background Syphilis rates have increased substantially over the past decade. Women are an important population because of negative sequalae and adverse maternal outcomes including congenital syphilis. We assessed whether racial ethnic disparities in primary secondary (P&S) syphilis among heterosexually active women differ by region age group. Methods synthesized 4 national surveys to estimate numbers United States from 2014 2018 region, race ethnicity, group (18–24, 25–29, 30–44, ≥45...

We aimed to determine whether syringe exchange programs (SEPs) currently receive or anticipate pursuing federal funding and barriers applications following the recent removal of long-standing ban on using funds for SEPs.
Objectives To simulate physician‐driven dynamics of delivery mode decisions (scheduled cesarean [ CD ] vs. vaginal VD unplanned after labor), and to evaluate a behavioral theory how experiential learning leads emerging bias toward more practice variation across obstetricians. Data Sources/Study Setting Hospital discharge data on deliveries performed by 300 randomly selected obstetricians in Florida who finished obstetrics residency started 1991. Study Design We develop system simulation...
Summary Secondary factor VIII (FVIII) prophylaxis converts severe haemophiliacs (FVIII:C < 1 IU dL −1 ) to a moderate phenotype ≥ ), however, plasma FVIII:C is poor predictor of bleeding risk. This study used thromboelastography (TEG) and thrombin generation assay (TGA) quantify coagulation across 48 h rFVIII period. 10 with varying clinical phenotypes received their standard dose blood samples were obtained over h. Measured parameters included FVIII:C, TEG TGA at each time point....
