Abstract BACKGROUND: Hospital‐acquired (HA) venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common source of morbidity/mortality. Prophylactic measures are underutilized. Available risk assessment models/protocols not prospectively validated. OBJECTIVES: Improve VTE prophylaxis, reduce HA VTE, and validate risk‐assessment model. DESIGN: Observational design. SETTING: Academic medical center. PATIENTS: Adult inpatients on medical/surgical services. INTERVENTIONS: A simple linked to menu preferred...
Background: Understanding the influence of perinatal stressors on prevalence postpartum depressive symptoms (PDS) and help-seeking for PDS using surveillance data can inform service provision improve health outcomes. Methods: We used Massachusetts Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (MA-PRAMS) 2007–2010 to evaluate associations between selected with subsequent behaviors. categorized 12 into 4 groups: partner, traumatic, financial, emotional. defined as reporting "always" or "often"...
The purpose of this work was to examine loss follow-up on the use diagnostic or intervention services for Massachusetts infants and children screened diagnosed with hearing risk factors becoming lost follow-up.We used data from Childhood Hearing Data System Early Intervention Information System. We calculated percent audiologic evaluation born in 2002-2003 who did not pass screening those loss. generated crude adjusted relative risks, as well confidence intervals, estimate associations...

Although good immunogenicity has been observed living with HIV (WLWH), efficacy data this population are needed. We enrolled 420 females aged ≥9 years (range, 9–65) HIV. Participants were to receive 3 doses of qHPV vaccine (0/2/6 months). The main endpoint was failure (ie, incident persistent infection, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher [CIN2+], genital...
Background: Faculty development programs focusing on teaching have become widespread. Purpose: Despite the popularity of such programs, evidence as to their effectiveness is limited. This article reports an objective structured exercise (OSTE) and its pilot implementation in evaluation a faculty program module. A written test intended measure feedback skills was also developed tested. Methods: separate-sample, pretest-posttest design used both instruments. Results: The results showed some...
Public health measures designed to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission led reduced access care and prevention services for people living with or at risk of acquiring HIV, particularly during the initial introduction extensive restrictions. This reduction in may have contributed increases HIV not outweighed by decreases occurring as a result contact rates promoted same public measures. We synthesize available province-wide data British Columbia, Canada, together mobility phylogenetically...
BACKGROUND: Infertility treatment (IFT) increases the likelihood of multiple gestations, which are associated with postpartum depressive symptoms (PDS). There has been little study association between successful IFT and risk PDS, accounting for gestations. METHODS: Using representative data from Massachusetts Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) 2007-2010, we evaluated self-reported use PDS. We categorized as: fertility-enhancing drugs (FD), donor insemination/intrauterine...

Rapid, intensive change in the health care system requires a how outcomes of medical education are measured. The post-Flexner model evaluating institution focuses on teaching (rather than learning) and is not relevant to ambulatory training. Medical needs use assessment that student learning, can respond quickly changes, continuously refined by information about students' abilities. Course-based systematic way gather, analyze, disseminate, course data improve it well suited current trends...
<h3>Background:</h3> Studies examining the relation between comprehensive care and health outcomes associated with comorbidities unrelated to HIV infection have focused mainly on of HIV-infected people comorbid substance use disorders.
