<h3>Importance</h3> Health care spending in the United States increased substantially from 1995 to 2015 and comprised 17.8% of economy 2015. Understanding relationship between known factors increases over time could inform policy efforts contain future growth. <h3>Objective</h3> To quantify changes associated with 5 fundamental related health States: population size, age structure, disease prevalence or incidence, service utilization, price intensity. <h3>Design Setting</h3> Data on 1996...
Importance Understanding health conditions with the most spending and variation across locations over time is important for identifying trends, highlighting inequalities, developing strategies lowering spending. Objective To estimate US care each of 3110 counties, 4 payers (Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, out-of-pocket payments), according to 148 conditions, 38 age/sex groups, 7 types from 2010 2019. Design, Setting, Participants Observational analysis using more than 40 billion...

This project, based 183 sources data 2.9 billion patient records, care. Annual produced each...
Background To inform discussions on rates, burden and priority-setting in relation to police violence, we quantified the number rate of years life lost (YLLs) due violence by race/ethnicity age USA, 2015–2016. Methods We used data deaths from ‘The Counted’, a media-based source compiled The Guardian . YLLs are difference between an individual’s at death their corresponding standard expectancy death. Results There were 57 375 54 754 2015 2016, respectively. People colour comprised 38.5%...
There is a robust understanding of how specific behavioural, metabolic, and environmental risk factors increase the health burden. However, there less these risks individually jointly affect health-care spending. The objective this study was to quantify spending attributable modifiable in USA for 2016.We extracted estimates US by condition, age, sex from Institute Health Metrics Evaluation's Disease Expenditure Study 2016 merged with population fraction 84 Global Burden Diseases, Injuries,...
While efforts are underway to expand latrine coverage an estimated 2.6 billion people who lack access improved sanitation, there is evidence that actual use of latrines suboptimal, limiting the potential health and environmental gains from containment human excreta. We developed a passive monitor (PLUM) compared its ability measure activity with structured observation. Each PLUM consisted infrared motion detector, microcontroller, data storage card, batteries mounted in small plastic housing...
Discrimination has been shown to have profound negative effects on mental and behavioral health may influence these outcomes early in adulthood. We aimed examine short-term, long-term, cumulative associations between different types of interpersonal discrimination (eg, racism, sexism, ageism, physical appearance discrimination) health, substance use, well-being for young adults a longitudinal nationally representative US sample.We used data from 6 waves the Transition Adulthood Supplement...
Introduction George Floyd’s death in 2020 galvanised large protests around the country, including emergence of Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) Seattle, Washington, a non-policed, organised protest region that may have differing injury risks than other regions. We sought to quantitatively describe characteristics injuries related documented at visits two nearby major emergency departments, only Level 1 trauma centre state. Methods Using International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision...
Most analyses of gaps in human resources for health (HRH) do not consider training and the transition graduates into labour market. This study aims to explore market Peru's recent medical, nursing, midwifery as well their employment Ministry Health's (MOH) system. Data from four different datasets, covering 2007–2013, was used characterize patterns recently trained physicians, nurses, midwives, postgraduate-trained physicians that enter MOH system, scenario were describe how this rate entry...
One of the major challenges in estimating health care spending spent on each cause illness is allocating for a event to single presence comorbidities. Comorbidities, secondary diagnoses, are common across many causes and often correlate with worse outcomes more expensive care. In this study, we propose method measuring average without Our strategy illness-specific adjusting comorbidities uses regression-based framework estimate excess due We consider multiple simultaneously, allowing appear...
Background In 2013 the United States spent $2.9 trillion on health care, more than in any previous year. Much of debate around slowing care spending growth focuses complicated pricing system for services. Our investigation contributes to knowledge by assessing relationship between charges and payments inpatient hospital setting. US, differ because a complex set incentives that connect providers funders. methodology can also be applied adjust charge data reflect actual spending. Methods We...
This cross-sectional study examines suicide mortality rates among Asian American youths and young adults overall by ethnic subgroup from 2018 to 2021.
Abstract Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been shown to impact mental health. Risk associated with ACEs is commonly estimated based on counts from the conventional ACE types, but may not all carry same health risk, either individually or in combination. Evidence needed understand of different types and combinations types. We aimed assess variation risk illness diagnosis severe psychological distress young adulthood differences exposure individual ACEs, which can improve precision...
Individuals' self-perceptions of weight often differ from objective measurements body fat. This study aimed to 1) measure agreement between and measurement fat by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) among Peruvian adults; 2) quantify the association a) baseline b) whether a participant underestimated their status. Longitudinal data CRONICAS Cohort Study 3181 adults aged 35-years older were used. BIA categorized across four nominal descriptions: low weight, normal, overweight, obese. Kappa...
