Abstract Introduction In adults, small (< 50%) serum creatinine (SCr) increases predict mortality. It is unclear whether different baseline (bSCr) estimation methods affect findings of acute kidney injury (AKI)-outcome associations. We characterized pediatric AKI, evaluated the effect bSCr approaches on AKI-outcome associations and use SCr to AKI development. Methods conducted a retrospective cohort database study children (excluding postoperative cardiac or renal transplant patients)...

Background. Aminoglycosides (AG) cause acute kidney injury (AKI), but the incidence and severity distribution are unclear, particularly in non-critically ill children. We determined incidence, risk factors of AG-associated AKI assessed for associations with longer hospitalization higher costs. Methods. At Texas Children's Hospital, we conducted a retrospective cohort study children treated AG ≥ 5 days 2005, excluding admission primary renal diagnoses. was defined by paediatric Risk, Injury,...
Air pollution may be related to adverse birth outcomes. Exposure information from land-based monitoring stations often suffers limited spatial coverage. Satellite data offer an alternative source for exposure assessment.We used certificate births in Connecticut and Massachusetts, United States (2000-2006). Gestational PM2.5 was estimated US Environmental Protection Agency satellite data. were processed modeled by using two methods-denoted (1) (2)-before assessment. Regression models outcomes...
Opioid overdose deaths remain high in the U.S. Despite having effective interventions to prevent deaths, there are numerous barriers that impede their adoption. The primary aim of HEALing Communities Study (HCS) is determine impact an intervention consisting community-engaged, data-driven selection, and implementation integrated set evidence-based practices (EBPs) on reducing opioid deaths.The HCS a four year multi-site, parallel-group, cluster randomized wait-list controlled trial. (n = 67)...
Evidence-based practices for reducing opioid-related overdose deaths include education and naloxone distribution, the use of medications treatment opioid disorder, prescription safety. Data are needed on effectiveness a community-engaged intervention to reduce through enhanced uptake these practices.
Abstract The aim of this study is an experimental evaluation a force analysis the patellar mechanism based on assumption that patellofemoral contact frictionless. At first, geometric characteristics surfaces, prior knowledge which necessary for quantitative analysis, were measured from radiographs 42 fresh‐frozen knee specimens in flexion range 0–120°. results then used to predict relations between forces acting patella. For ratio tension ligamentum patellae and rectus femoris was ten during...
Abstract Tensions generated in selected bands of the four major ligaments flexed knee (40–90°) have been measured vitro when tibia is subjected to passive anterior translation and axial rotation with without a compressive preload. The measurements were made 30 fresh‐frozen specimens using buckle transducer attached anteromedial band cruciate ligament [ACL (am)], posterior fibers [PCL (pf)], superficia fibres medial collateral [MCL (sf)], total lateral (LCL). Particular attention was placed...
The objectives of this study were to identify social determinants health as risk factors for infant mortality, particularly among African Americans, and determine the extent which research has demonstrated an association between each determinant mortality. A systematic scoping review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Databases searched include: EBSCOhost, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, SocINDEX, Social Work Abstracts, Sociological Collection. Following a three-step selection process by two...
Objectives An Opioid Treatment Desert is an area with limited accessibility to medication-assisted treatment and recovery facilities for Use Disorder. We explored the concept of Deserts including racial differences in potential spatial applied it one Midwestern urban county using high resolution spatiotemporal data. Methods obtained individual-level data from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agency (Columbus Fire Department) Franklin County, Ohio. overdose events were based on EMS runs where...
Community-level disinvestment and de facto segregation rooted in decades of discriminatory race-based policies racism have resulted unacceptably large infant mortality rates racial minority neighborhoods across the US. Most community development housing work, implemented with goal addressing health social inequities, is designed to tackle current challenges condition without a race-conscious lens assessing structural discrimination. Using one historically segregated neighborhood-Linden,...
Opioid use disorder and overdose deaths is a public health crisis in the United States, there increasing recognition that its etiology rooted part by social determinants such as poverty, isolation upheaval. Limiting research policy interventions low temporal spatial resolution of publicly available administrative data census data. We explore municipal service requests (also known "311" requests) high indicators neighborhood distress opioid misuse. analyze associations between georeferenced...
Modeling plays a critical role in mitigating impacts of seasonal influenza epidemics. Complex simulation models are currently at the forefront evaluating optimal mitigation strategies multiple scales and levels organization. Given their evaluative role, these remain limited ability to predict forecast future epidemics leading some researchers public-health practitioners question usefulness. The objective this study is evaluate predictive an existing complex model spread.

The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) is designed to implement and evaluate the That HEAL (CTH) intervention, a conceptually driven framework assist communities in selecting adopting evidence-based practices reduce opioid overdose deaths. goal of HCS produce generalizable information for policy makers community stakeholders seeking CTH or similar intervention. To support this objective, one aim health economics study (HES), results which will inform decisions around fiscal feasibility...
Food insecurity is a leading public health challenge in the United States. In Columbus, Ohio, as many American cities, there exists great disparity between Black and White households relation to food insecurity. This study investigates degree which this gap can be attributed differences shopping behavior, neighborhood perception, socioeconomic characteristics. A Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition method used analyze household survey dataset collected 2014. We find 34.2 percent point difference...
Abstract As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread through the United States in 2020, states began to set up alert systems inform policy decisions and serve as risk communication tools for general public. Many of these included indicators based on an assessment trends numbers reported cases. However, when cases are indexed by date onset, reporting delays complicate interpretation trends. Despite a foundation statistical literature with which address this problem, methods have not been...
