Obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m 2 ) is frequently categorized into three categories: class 1 (30.0-34.9kg/m ), (35.0-39.9kg/m and 3 (≥40 ).Class obesity sometimes referred to as "extreme" or "severe" obesity.
Obesity is a serious health concern in the United States, affecting more than one six children (1) and putting their long-term quality of life at risk.* During COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents spent time usual away from structured school settings, families who were already disproportionally affected by obesity risk factors might have had additional disruptions income, food, other social determinants health.† As result, experienced circumstances that accelerated weight gain, including increased...

Viral infections are a common cause of myocarditis, an inflammation the heart muscle (myocardium) that can result in hospitalization, failure, and sudden death (1).Emerging data suggest association between COVID-19 myocarditis (2-5).CDC assessed this using large, U.S. hospital-based administrative database health care encounters from >900 hospitals.Myocarditis inpatient were 42.3% higher 2020 than 2019.During March 2020-January 2021, period coincided with pandemic, risk for was 0.146% among...
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected people with diabetes, who are at increased risk of severe COVID-19.* Increases in the number type 1 diabetes diagnoses (1,2) and frequency severity diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) time diagnosis (3) have been reported European pediatric populations during pandemic. In adults, might be a long-term consequence SARS-CoV-2 infection (4-7). To evaluate for any new (type 1, 2, or other diabetes) >30 days

Post-COVID-19 (post-COVID) symptoms and conditions* are new, recurring, or ongoing health problems that occur 4 more weeks after infection with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causes COVID-19). Previous studies have characterized estimated the incidence of post-COVID conditions among adults (1,2), but data children adolescents limited (3-8). Using a large medical claims database, CDC assessed nine potential signs (symptoms) 15 781,419 U.S. aged 0-17 years laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 (patients...
This cohort study uses data from the Premier Healthcare Database Special COVID-19 Release to assess association of demographic and clinical characteristics with severe illness among hospitalized US pediatric patients COVID-19.
CDC recommends a combination of evidence-based strategies to reduce transmission SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 (1). Because is transmitted predominantly by inhaling respiratory droplets from infected persons, universal mask use can help Starting in April, 39 states and District Columbia (DC) issued mandates 2020. Reducing person-to-person interactions avoiding nonessential shared spaces, such as restaurants, where are typically unmasked physical distancing (≥6 ft) difficult...
Abstract Background Late sequelae of COVID-19 have been reported; however, few studies investigated the time course or incidence late new COVID-19–related health conditions (post-COVID conditions) after diagnosis. Studies distinguishing post-COVID from caused by other etiologies are lacking. Using data a large administrative all-payer database, we assessed type, association, and timing following Methods Premier Healthcare Database Special Release (release date, 20 October 2020) data, during...
Older adults and people from certain racial ethnic groups are disproportionately represented in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalizations deaths.Using data the Premier Healthcare Database on 181 813 hospitalized diagnosed with COVID-19 during March-September 2020, we applied multivariable log-binomial regression to assess associations between age race/ethnicity clinical severity (intensive care unit [ICU] admission, invasive mechanical ventilation [IMV], death) determine whether...
Importance Information on the probability of weight loss among US adults with overweight or obesity is limited. Objective To assess 5% greater loss, 10% body mass index (BMI) reduction to a lower BMI category, and healthy category initial overall by sex race. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study obtained data from IQVIA ambulatory electronic medical records database. The sample consists patients 17 years older at least 3 information January 1, 2009, February 28, 2022. Minimum age...
Abstract We described antibiotic use among inpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Most COVID-19 received therapy. also hospital-wide during 2020 compared 2019, stratified by hospital burden. Although total decreased between years, certain increased higher
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has caused more than 100.2 million infections and 1 deaths in US as of November 2022, yet information on economic burden associated with post-COVID-19 conditions is lacking. We estimated possible by comparing direct medical costs among patients younger 65 years without COVID-19 postacute period.Commercially insured children adults a diagnosis (cases) during April-August 2020 were matched to those (controls) 1:4 ratio. Direct represented 1-, 3-,...
Importance Universal screening to identify unfavorable lipid levels is recommended for US children aged 9 11 years and adolescents 17 21 (hereafter, young adults ); however, benefits in these individuals have been questioned. Current use of prevalence elevated measurements among youths not well understood. Objective To investigate the ambulatory pediatric or abnormal screened by patient characteristic test type. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study used data from IQVIA...
<h3>Importance</h3> People experiencing incarceration (PEI) and people homelessness (PEH) have an increased risk of COVID-19 exposure from congregate living, but data on their hospitalization course compared with that the general population are limited. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare hospitalizations for PEI PEH among population. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cross-sectional analysis used Premier Healthcare Database 3415 9434 who were evaluated in emergency department or...
There have been conflicting reports concerning weight gain among adults during the COVID-19 epidemic. Although early studies reported large increases, several of these analyses were based on convenience samples or self-reported information. The objective current study is to examine pandemic-related increase associated with pandemic through May 2021.A total 4.25 million (18 84 years) in an electronic health record database who had at least two measurements between January 2019 and February...
Information on the costs of inpatient care for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is very limited. This study estimates per-patient cost adult COVID-19 seen at >800 US hospitals.Patients aged ≥18 years ≥1 hospitalization during March 2020-July 2021 a diagnosis code in large electronic administrative discharge database were included. We used validated when reported; otherwise, calculated using charges multiplied by cost-to-charge ratios. estimated per patient overall and...

Summary Background Weight control programs for children monitor BMI changes using z‐scores that adjust the sex and age of child. It is, however, uncertain if BMIz is best metric assessing change. Objective To identify which 6 metrics optimal We considered a to be its short‐term variability was consistent across entire distribution. Subjects 285 643 2‐ 17‐year‐olds with measured 3 times over 10‐ 14‐month period. Methods summarized each metric's within‐child standard deviation. Results Most...
Abstract Objective Many US youth experienced accelerated weight gain during the early COVID‐19 pandemic. Using an ambulatory electronic health record data set, authors compared children's rates of BMI change in three periods: pre‐pandemic (January 2018‐February 2020), pandemic (March‐December and later (January‐November 2021). Methods This study used mixed‐effects models to examine differences BMI, weight, obesity prevalence among periods. Covariates included time as a continuous variable,...
Abstract Background Small sample sizes have limited prior studies' ability to capture severe COVID-19 outcomes, especially among Ad26.COV2.S vaccine recipients. This study of 18.9 million adults aged ≥18 years assessed relative effectiveness (rVE) in three recipient cohorts: (1) primary and booster (2 Ad26.COV2.S), (2) mRNA (Ad26.COV2.S+mRNA), (3) two doses (3 mRNA). Methods We analyzed de-identified datasets linked using privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL): insurance claims retail...
