Abstract Objective In response to COVID-19, the informatics community united aggregate as much clinical data possible characterize this new disease and reduce its impact through collaborative analytics. The National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is now largest publicly available HIPAA limited dataset in US history with over 6.4 million patients a testament partnership of 100 organizations. Materials Methods We developed pipeline for ingesting, harmonizing, centralizing from 56...
Rural communities are among the most underserved and resource-scarce populations in United States. However, there limited data on COVID-19 outcomes rural America. This study aims to compare hospitalization rates inpatient mortality SARS-CoV-2-infected persons stratified by residential rurality.
End-of-life care for patients with cancer is often overly burdensome, and palliative hospice are underutilized. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the mental health diagnoses anxiety depression were associated variation in end-of-life metastatic cancer.This used electronic data from 1,333 adults who received at two academic centers Louisiana, USA, died between 1/1/2011-12/31/2017. descriptive statistics characterize sample logistic regression examine six months before death...
Objectives/Goals: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles COVID-19 clinical severity, specifically: hospitalization, mortality, pneumonia by COVID-19, post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), and lab values. Methods/Study Population: We are conducting a retrospective cohort utilizing All Us controlled tier dataset. base population was defined as any patients with diagnosis code (ICD-10: U07.1 or SNOMED:...
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, consisting of multiple molecular subtypes. Obesity has been associated with an increased risk for postmenopausal breast cancer, but few studies have examined subtypes separately. often complicated by type 2 diabetes, the possible association diabetes specific remains poorly understood.
Abstract Objective The impact of comorbidities and biomarkers on COVID-19 severity vary by sex but have not yet been verified in population-based studies. We examined the association comorbidities, inflammatory biomarkers, severe outcomes men women hospitalized for COVID-19. Design This is a retrospective cohort analysis based National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). included 574,391 adult patients admitted at hospitals or emergency rooms between 01/01/2020 12/31/2021. Methods defined...
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a group high blood pressure during that leading cause maternal and infant morbidity mortality. Data on the trend in incidence HDP among Medicaid population coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lacking.
Abstract Rationale Short‐term weight loss is possible in a variety of settings. However, long‐term, free‐living maintenance following structured interventions remains elusive. Objective The purpose was to study body trajectories over 2 years intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) and up 4 follow‐up versus usual care (UC). Methods Data were obtained from electronic medical records (EMRs) participating clinics. Baseline (Day 0) established as the EMR data point closest but prior baseline date...
To compare the cardiovascular risks between users and non-users of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors based on electronic medical record data from a large integrated healthcare system in South Louisiana.Demographic, anthropometric, laboratory medication prescription information for patients with type 2 diabetes who were new SGLT2 inhibitors, either as initial treatments or add-on treatments, obtained health records. Mediation analysis was performed to evaluate association use...
Although there are many regional and national studies on the trends in incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), GDM among Medicaid population lacking, especially before during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the burden influenza disease in patients with or without diabetes a population American adults understand benefits seasonal vaccination. Research design and methods We performed retrospective cohort using electronic medical records totaling 1,117,263 from two Louisiana healthcare providers spanning January 2012 through December 2017. Adults 18 years older more within period were included. primary outcome quantified influenza-related...
Background : Inflammation plays a complex, incompletely understood role in the pathogenesis of acute COVID-19 and Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC or “Long COVID”). Systemic inflammation resulting cytokine storm, hypercoagulability endothelial damage is thought to be central mechanism for severe morbidity mortality COVID-19. Anti-inflammatory medications taken routinely chronic conditions prior contracting (“background medications”) may modulate outcomes. Methods Using data...
Objective Advancements in fluoroscopy-assisted procedures have increased radiation exposure among cardiologists. Radiation has been linked to cardiovascular complications but its effect on cardiac rhythm, specifically, is underexplored. Methods Demographic, social, occupational, and medical history information was collected from board-certified cardiologists via an electronic survey. Bivariate multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed assess the risk of atrial arrhythmias...
ABSTRACT IMPORTANCE Rural communities are among the most underserved and resource-scarce populations in United States (US), yet there limited data on COVID-19 mortality rural America. Furthermore, rarely centralized, precluding comparability across urban regions. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to assess hospitalization rates all-cause inpatient persons with definitive diagnoses residing areas. DESIGN, SETTINGS, AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective cohort from National COVID Cohort...
Abstract Background Rural communities are among the most vulnerable and resource-scarce populations in United States. data is rarely centralized, precluding comparability across regions, no significant studies have studied this population at scale. The purpose of study to present findings from National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) provide insight into future research highlight urgent need address health disparities rural populations. N3C Patient Distribution This figure shows geospatial...
