Therefore, we examined whether adolescent increased as types adverse experiences (ACE score) ACEs or was principal source elevated risk for long-term psychosocial fetal death.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic priorities have focused on prevention, detection, and response. Beyond morbidity mortality, pandemics carry secondary impacts, such as children orphaned or bereft of their caregivers. Such often face adverse consequences, including poverty, abuse, institutionalisation. We provide estimates for the magnitude this problem resulting from describe need resource allocation.MethodsWe used mortality fertility data to model minimum rates COVID-19-associated deaths...
Interpersonal violence, which includes child abuse and neglect, youth intimate partner sexual elder abuse, affects millions of US residents each year. However, surveillance systems, programs, policies to address violence often lack broad, cross-sector collaboration, there is limited awareness effective strategies prevent violence.To describe the burden interpersonal in United States, explore challenges prevention efforts identify opportunities.We reviewed data from health law enforcement...
Most coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) deaths occur among adults, not children, and attention has focused on mitigating COVID-19 burden adults. However, a tragic consequence of adult is that high numbers children might lose their parents caregivers to COVID-19-associated deaths.
In the 6 months following our estimates from March 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021, proliferation of new coronavirus variants, updated mortality data, and disparities in vaccine access increased amount children experiencing COVID-19-associated orphanhood. To inform responses, we aimed model increases numbers affected by orphanhood caregiver death, as well cumulative age-group distribution circumstance (maternal or paternal orphanhood).
Objective. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may have long-term consequences on at-risk behaviors that lead to an increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) during adulthood. Therefore, we examined the relationship between ACEs and subsequent STDs for both men women. Methods. A total 9323 (4263 5060 women) adults ≥18 years age participated in a retrospective cohort study evaluating association self-reported STDs. Participants were adult members managed care organization who...
Objective: To evaluate the cumulative probability of regret after tubal sterilization, and to identify risk factors for that are identifiable before sterilization. Methods: We used a prospective, multicenter cohort study within 14 years Participants included 11,232 women aged 18–44 who had sterilizations between 1978 1987. Actuarial life tables Cox proportional hazards models were those groups at greatest experiencing regret. Results: The expressing during follow-up interview sterilization...

Background and Objectives: Detection of subclinicalChlamydia trachomatisinfection in women is a high but costly public health priority. Goals: To develop test simple selective screening criteria for chlamydia women, to assess the contribution cervicitis criteria, evaluate cost-effectiveness versus universal screening. Study Design: Cross-sectional study analysis 11,141 family planning (FP) 19,884 sexually transmitted diseases (STD) female clients Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho who were...
To examine predictors of health care providers perceiving intrauterine devices (IUDs) as unsafe for nulliparous women and infrequent provision IUDs to women.We analyzed questionnaire data obtained during December 2009 March 2010 from 635 office-based (physicians) 1,323 Title X clinic (physicians, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, practitioners, nurses). Using multivariable logistic regression, we estimated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) the...
This study assesses estimates of new orphanhood based on excess deaths to provide a comprehensive measure the COVID-19 pandemic’s long-term impact and caregiver loss.
Abstract Deaths of parents and grandparent caregivers threaten child well-being owing to losses care, financial support, safety family stability, but are relatively unrecognized as a public health crisis. Here we used cause-specific vital statistics death registrations in modeling approach estimate the full magnitude orphanhood incidence prevalence among US children aged 0–17 years between 2000 2021 by cause, age, race ethnicity, sex deceased parent state, also accounted for caregiver loss...
Abstract Obesity is an established risk factor for some breast cancers, but less known about its effect on cancer prognosis. Understanding this relationship important, given the increasing number of women diagnosed with and growing prevalence obesity. We conducted a cohort analysis 3,924 ages 20 to 54 incident enrolled between 1980 1982 in Cancer Steroid Hormone study, case-control study. Interview data were linked survival information from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program....
Most studies of peripartum hysterectomy are conducted in single institutions, limiting the ability to provide national incidence estimates and examine risk factors. The objective this study was a estimate factors associated with procedure.We used data for 1998-2003 from Healthcare Cost Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample, an annual nationally representative survey inpatient hospitalizations. Peripartum defined as delivery occurring during same hospitalization. Odds ratios (ORs)...
<h3>Background</h3> Collateral ventilation has been proposed as a mechanism of compensation respiratory function in obstructive lung diseases but observations it vivo are limited. The assessment collateral with an imaging technique might help to gain insight into physiology and assist the planning new bronchoscopic techniques for treating emphysema. <h3>Objective</h3> To obtain images delayed that be related over period single breath-hold patients chronic pulmonary disease (COPD)....
