The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Roadmap initiative (www.nihpromis.org) is a 5-year cooperative group program research designed to develop, validate, and standardize item banks measure patient-reported outcomes (PROs) relevant across common medical conditions. In this article, we will summarize the organization scientific activity PROMIS network during its first 2 years.The consists 6 primary sites (PRSs), statistical...
This report characterizes a cohort of hospitalized adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Georgia which black patients were overrepresented and one four had no recognized risk factors for severe COVID-19.
The first reported U.S. case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was detected in January 2020 (1).As June 15, 2020, approximately 2 million cases and 115,000 COVID-19-associated deaths have been the United States.*Reports patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 infection (the virus that causes COVID-19) describe high proportions older, male, black persons (2-4).Similarly, when comparing catchment area populations or nonhospitalized COVID-19 patients, underlying conditions, including...
Investigators analyzed data on in-school COVID-19 testing among 594 students who were exposed to 33 index patients at 13 elementary schools. Compared with non-Hispanic White students, participation in the program was higher identifying as Hispanic/Latino or members of another racial minority group.
Abstract Provision of safe drinking water in the United States is a great public health achievement. However, new waterborne disease challenges have emerged (e.g., aging infrastructure, chlorine-tolerant and biofilm-related pathogens, increased recreational use). Comprehensive estimates burden for all exposure routes (ingestion, contact, inhalation) sources (drinking, recreational, environmental) are needed. We estimated total illnesses, emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations,...
Abstract Background Late sequelae of COVID-19 have been reported; however, few studies investigated the time course or incidence late new COVID-19–related health conditions (post-COVID conditions) after diagnosis. Studies distinguishing post-COVID from caused by other etiologies are lacking. Using data a large administrative all-payer database, we assessed type, association, and timing following Methods Premier Healthcare Database Special Release (release date, 20 October 2020) data, during...
Each year, infections from major foodborne pathogens are responsible for an estimated 9.4 million illnesses, 56,000 hospitalizations, and 1,350 deaths in the United States (1). To evaluate progress toward prevention of enteric States, Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) conducts surveillance laboratory-diagnosed caused by eight transmitted commonly through food at 10 U.S. sites. During 2020-2021, FoodNet detected decreases many that were due to behavioral modifications,...
Estimating the number of illnesses caused by foodborne pathogens is critical for allocating resources and prioritizing interventions. We estimated illnesses, hospitalizations, deaths in United States 7 major using surveillance data other sources, adjusted underreporting underdiagnosis. Campylobacter spp., Clostridium perfringens, invasive Listeria monocytogenes, norovirus, nontyphoidal Salmonella serotypes, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli ≈9.9 million (90% credible interval [CrI]...
Abstract Objective Because rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease in terms of manifestations, clinical outcomes, and therapeutic responses, we developed applied novel antigen microarray technology to identify distinct serum antibody profiles patients with RA. Methods Synovial proteome microarrays, containing 225 peptides proteins that represent candidate control antigens, were developed. These arrays used profile autoantibodies randomly selected sera from 2 different...
This study examined the relative effectiveness of desipramine, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and their combination in treatment bulimia nervosa, together with effects withdrawing medication after two different lengths treatment.Seventy-one patients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for recruited from an eating disorders clinic or by advertisements, were assigned at random to one five groups: desipramine (withdrawn 16 24 weeks), combined (medication withdrawn therapy (15 sessions). All treatments...
Objective. Assessing self-reported physical function/disability with the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ) and other instruments has become central in arthritis research. Item response theory (IRT) computerized adaptive testing (CAT) techniques can increase reliability statistical power. IRT-based improve measurement precision substantially over a wider range of disease severity. These modern methods were applied magnitude improvement was estimated. Methods. A 199-item...
To compare the characteristics of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in men vs women a multicenter study.Medical records all consecutive patients with definite IIH seen at three university hospitals were reviewed. Demographics, associated factors, and visual function presentation follow-up collected. Patients divided into two groups based on sex for statistical comparisons.We included 721 patients, including 66 (9%) 655 (91%). Men more likely to have sleep apnea (24% 4%, p < 0.001)...
Objective: To compare lipid-altering effects of an almond-based diet with olive oil-based diet, against a cheese and butter-based control diet.Methods: Forty-five free-living hyperlipidemic men (n=12) women (n=33) mean plasma total cholesterol (TC) 251±30 mg/dL followed one three diets; almond-based, oil-based, or dairy-based for 4 weeks. Total fat in each was matched, the study-provided sources comprised major portion intake.Results: Reductions TC low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C)...
Four hundred fifty-five females from a community-bgased, randomly sampled population were interviewed by telephone to estimate the prevalence of binge eating and describe demographic topographical characteristics behaviour. Binge eaters classified according DSM-111-R criteria for bulimia, excluding purging behavior. The subjects meeting was 1.8%, while percentage who met all but frequency estimated at 3.8%. majority in this study found engage behaviors typically associated with episodes. On...
The Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ) and the SF-36 PF-10, among other instruments, yield sensitive valid (Physical Function) endpoints. Modern techniques, such as Item Response Theory (IRT), now enable development of more precise instruments using improved items. NIH Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is charged with developing IRT-based tools. We compared ability to detect change in physical function original (Legacy) Item-Improved PROMIS...
