Understanding the temporal trend of disease burden stroke and its attributable risk factors in China, especially at provincial levels, is important for effective prevention strategies improvement. The aim this analysis from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) to investigate national levels China 1990 2019.Following methodology GBD 2019, incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) cases Chinese population were estimated by sex, age, year,...
Background and objectives Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with higher risk of AKI. We aimed to describe rates characterize predictors health outcomes AKI in a national cohort US veterans hospitalized COVID-19. Design, setting, participants, & measurements In 5216 COVID-19 identified through July 23, 2020, we described changes serum creatinine examined the associations between AKI, resource utilization, death, utilizing logistic regressions. characterized geographic...
The combined health impact of physical activity (PA) and air pollution on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. We investigated the joint effects habitual PA long-term fine particulate matter (PM
Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection causes post-acute sequelae of disease 2019 (COVID-19) (PASC) in many organ systems. Risks these have been characterized up to years after infection, but longer-term follow-up is limited. Here we built a cohort 135,161 people with SARS-CoV-2 and 5,206,835 controls from the US Department Veterans Affairs who were followed for 3 estimate risks death PASC. Among non-hospitalized individuals, increased risk was no...
Though the association between air pollution and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been well documented, evidence on with development of subsequent complications post-diabetes mortality is scarce. We investigate whether associated different progressions outcomes T2D.Based UK Biobank, 398,993 participants free diabetes-related events at recruitment were included in this analysis. Exposures to particulate matter a diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM10), PM2.5, nitrogen oxides (NOx), NO2 for each transition...
The associations between air pollution exposure and morbidity mortality of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been widely reported; however, evidence on such across different dynamic disease trajectories remain unknown.
Abstract Aims To evaluate the independent, mediating, interactive, and associated effects of Life's Essential 8 (LE8) genetic predisposition on risk cardiovascular outcomes all-cause mortality. Methods results We retrieved a total 254 783 individuals from UK Biobank. LE8 was determined by eight metrics (nicotine exposure, physical activity, diet, sleep, body mass index, blood pressure, glucose, lipids), characterized as low, moderate, high health (CVH). Genetic estimated using polygenic...
Objectives Chinese county hospitals have been excessively enlarging their scale during the healthcare reform since 2009. The purpose of this paper is to examine technical efficiency and productivity process, determine whether, how, affected by various factors. Setting participants 114 sample were selected from Henan province, China, 2010 2012. Outcome measures Data envelopment analysis was employed estimate hospitals. Malmquist index used calculate changes over time. Tobit regression regress...
Ecologic analyses suggest that living in areas with higher levels of ambient fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) is associated risk adverse COVID-19 outcomes. Studies accounting for individual-level health characteristics are lacking.We leveraged the breadth and depth US Department Veterans Affairs national healthcare databases built a cohort 169,102 positive United States Veterans, enrolled between March 2, 2020 January 31, 2021, followed them through February 15, 2021. Annual...
<h3>Importance</h3> Lower extremity amputation (LEA) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, national temporal trends of LEA incidence rates among US veterans factors have not been well characterized. <h3>Objective</h3> To describe the LEA, characterize risk factors, decompose associations these changes in using Department Veteran Affairs (VA) services between 2008 2018. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cohort study used VA data from to 2018 estimate...
To characterize the association of ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution different sizes (PM ≤1 µm in aerodynamic diameter [PM1], PM2.5, and PM10) with in-hospital case fatality among patients stroke China.We collected hospitalizations due to 4 provinces China from 2013 2019. Seven-day annual averages PM prior hospitalization were estimated using bilinear interpolation residential addresses. Associations random-effects logistic regression models. Potential reducible fraction number...
We investigated the associations between residential green space and blue (water) inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) incidence, which have rarely been examined.We performed a longitudinal analysis using data of UK Biobank study, large prospective cohort. Incident cases IBD were ascertained through linkage to health administrative datasets. Residential space, natural environment (land coverage percentage) estimated land use data. Cox proportional hazard regression models used determine...
Background No prior study has examined the effects of air pollution on progression from healthy to chronic lung disease, subsequent multimorbidity and further death. Methods We used data UK Biobank 265 506 adults free disease at recruitment. Chronic was defined as coexistence least two diseases, including asthma, obstructive pulmonary cancer. The concentrations pollutants were estimated using land-use regression models. Multistate models applied assess effect multimorbidity. Results During a...
Long-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with the onset and progression of kidney diseases, but association between short-term mortality diseases not yet reported.
Dyslipidemia predicts the development and progression of diabetes. A higher non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C): HDL-C ratio is reportedly associated with metabolic syndrome insulin resistance, but its relationship glycemic levels diabetes remains unclear.In all, 4882 subjects aged ≥40 years without not using lipid-lowering drugs were enrolled in study. The non-HDL-C: was log10 transformed to achieve normal distribution. Multivariate logistic regression used investigate...
Objective Township hospitals (THs) are important components of the three-tier rural healthcare system China. However, efficiency and productivity THs have been questioned since reform was implemented in 2009. The objective this study is to analyse changes before after process. Setting participants A total 48 sample were selected from Xiaogan Prefecture Hubei Province 2008 2014. Outcome measures First, bootstrapping data envelopment analysis (DEA) performed estimate technical (TE), pure (PTE)...
Introduction We aimed to integrate all available epidemiological evidence characterise an exposure–response model of ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and the risk chronic kidney disease (CKD) across spectrum PM concentrations experienced by humans. then estimated global national burden CKD attributable . Methods collected data from prior studies on association with used integrative meta-regression approach build non-linear models associated exposure. 2017 incidence, prevalence,...
Objectives To investigate the temporal trends of 30-day mortality and hospitalisation in US Veterans with COVID-19 hospitalised veterans to decompose contribution changes underlying characteristics affected populations these changes.
