Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality and morbidity have been shown to increase with deprivation impact non-White ethnicities more severely. Despite the extra risk Black, Asian Minority Ethnicity (BAME) groups face in pandemic, our current medical research system seems prioritise innovation aimed at people of European descent. We found significant difficulties assessing baseline demographics clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccines, displaying a lack transparency reporting. Further, we...
Abstract In Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, mortality rates in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are consistently lower than observational studies. Stringent eligibility criteria and omission of early deaths RCTs contribute to this gap. Clinicians should acknowledge the possibility a treatment effect when applying RCT results bedside care.
Background: Infection prevention and control (IPC) is recognised as essential to addressing the emergence spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health, food production environment. How best address this through a One Health perspective remains challenge. This systematic review addresses gap by identifying synthesising evidence from interventions designed improve water, hygiene, sanitation (WASH), biosecurity animal agriculture people that live and/or work with animals. aimed...
To evaluate inter-physician variability and predictors of changes in antibiotic prescribing before (2019) during (2020/2021) the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis physicians Ontario, Canada oral antibiotics outpatient setting between January 1, December 31, 2021 using IQVIA Xponent data set. The primary outcome was change number prescriptions prepandemic pandemic period. Secondary outcomes were selection broad-spectrum agents...
Abstract Background Compared to those without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), women with IBD may have increased health-care utilization during pregnancy and postpartum. This lead significant morbidity decrease in quality of life. Characterizing this use is important for health-policy purposes determine methods shift care the ambulatory setting. Purpose We aimed compare preconception, Method accessed administrative databases validated algorithms at Institute Clinical Evaluative Services...
Abstract Background Outpatient antibiotic prescribing decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding how habits changed differentially based on physician and practice characteristics presents an opportunity to inform stewardship. Our objective was evaluate inter-physician variability predictors of changes in before (2019) (2020/2021) Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis physicians Ontario, Canada oral antibiotics outpatient setting between 1 January 2019 31 December...
Malnutrition is common in cirrhosis and an independent predictor of mortality. Dietary recommendation the mainstay therapy. Most dietitians utilize predictive equations to estimate resting energy expenditure (REE) target need as these are more time-efficient than gold-standard indirect calorimetry. However, associated with over- under-estimation requirements. As accurate nutrition prescriptions important patient care, our aim was compare estimated requirements using calorimetry measurements...
