Background The COVID-19 pandemic remains a significant global threat. However, despite urgent need, there uncertainty surrounding best practices for pharmaceutical interventions to treat COVID-19. In particular, conflicting evidence has emerged the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, alone or in combination, Evidence Accelerator convened by Reagan-Udall Foundation FDA, collaboration with Friends Cancer Research, assembled experts from health systems research, regulatory science, data...
Smallholder farmers across rural landscapes remain trapped in a vicious cycle of endemic poverty where interconnected challenges limit their ability to improve livelihoods. Our study smallholder farmers’ relationships with suppliers and several stakeholders the Tanzanian agro-input supply chain offers an extended perspective on persistence broadens discussion future sustainable food production Through interviews focus groups, we use grounded theory methodology develop systemic approach...
Background Real-world performance of COVID-19 diagnostic tests under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) must be assessed. We describe overall trends in the serology context real-world implementation. Methods Six health systems estimated odds seropositivity and positive percent agreement (PPA) test among people with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection by molecular test. In each dataset, we present ratio PPA, key clinical, demographic, practice parameters. Results A total 15,615 were observed to...
11133 Background: Natural language processing (NLP) parsers are advanced algorithms designed to parse values of interest from free-text stored in Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Given the importance information for use oncology research, it is crucial understand how accurately NLP extracting oncology-specific measures interest. We focus on validating NLP-parsers that identify three critical research by evaluating closely NLP-parser results match manual chart abstractor review: AJCC summary...
Introduction. Written narratives are used to develop reflective skills in health care students during clinical education. The purpose of this study was explore the effectiveness using a framework narrative writing facilitate reflection physical therapy their initial short-term experiences. Subjects. Each 20 written by explored first experience. Methods. Data analysis an iterative process consisting eight individual researchers and cross-group researcher analyses for development themes levels...
Teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections remain a major health concern are linked to number of poor outcomes. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth particularly at risk for these issues. Although evidence-based teen prevention (TPP) programs exist, they not necessarily tailored meet the needs LGBTQ youth. This paper reports on development implementation training TPP facilitators working Augusta Partnership Children in Augusta, GA. The four-hour...
Background As diagnostic tests for COVID-19 were broadly deployed under Emergency Use Authorization, there emerged a need to understand the real-world utilization and performance of serological testing across United States. Methods Six health systems contributed electronic records and/or claims data, jointly developed master protocol, used it execute analysis in parallel. We descriptive statistics examine demographic, clinical, geographic characteristics serology among patients with RNA...
e19262 Background: While Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) tests become increasingly more common for diagnosis, molecular characterization, and treatment, a significant amount of data derives from single-gene or analyte tests. Single gene test information is stored in disparate sources including electronic medical record (EMR) access clinical use remains challenge. A solution that harmonizes biomarker beyond standard NGS-centric linked to rich required the complete patient picture. Methods:...
Abstract Currently, five classes of Immunotherapy (IT) agents are available for over 20 cancer types, including a powerful new class utilizing T cells genetically engineered to express chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T). Additional include bi-specific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), vaccines, and oncolytic viruses. Despite promising antitumor activity, significant immune-related adverse events (irAE) have been reported. The most common CAR-T toxicity is cytokine...
Abstract Background: Social support is an important predictor of breast cancer treatment adherence, quality life, and survival. However, prior research has been predominantly representative non-Latina white women those with common subtypes. We considered whether information from the electronic health record (EHR) could be developed used to enhance representativeness social in cancer. Methods: conducted interviews oncologists, care coordinators, nurse practitioners, workers determine nature...
Abstract Background The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) eliminated cost sharing for preventive services, including colorectal cancer (CRC) screening individuals aged 50 to 75 with private health insurance. present study is the first examine impact of no-cost CRC due ACA on incidence mortality. Methods We modeled trends in CRC-related mortality an open cohort 2,113,283 Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) members years older between 2003 2016 using interrupted time...
