Childhood asthma prevalence doubled from 1980 to 1995 and then increased more slowly 2001 2010. During this second period, racial disparities increased. More recent trends remain be described.We analyzed current using 2001-2013 National Health Interview Survey data for children ages 0 17 years. Logistic regression with quadratic terms was used test nonlinear patterns in trends. Differences between demographic subgroups were further assessed multivariate models controlling gender, age,...

A 2017 report quantified the higher percentage of potentially excess (or preventable) deaths in nonmetropolitan areas (often referred to as rural areas) compared with metropolitan areas. In that report, CDC national, regional, and state estimates among five leading causes death counties for 2010 2014. This enhances geographic detail by using six levels 2013 National Center Health Statistics (NCHS) urban-rural classification scheme extending annual percent change (APC) additional years...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated fungal infections cause severe illness, but comprehensive data on burden are lacking. We analyzed US National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) to characterize burden, temporal trends, and demographic characteristics of persons dying during the COVID-19 pandemic.Using NVSS's January 2018-December 2021 Multiple Cause Death Database, we examined numbers age-adjusted rates (per 100 000 population) deaths due infection by pathogen, association,...
A 2019 report quantified the higher percentage of potentially excess (preventable) deaths in U.S. nonmetropolitan areas compared with metropolitan during 2010-2017. In that report, CDC national, regional, and state estimates preventable premature from five leading causes death counties This provides for additional years (2010-2022).

Meta-analyses of observational studies have shown that women with a shorter interpregnancy interval (the time from delivery to start subsequent pregnancy) are more likely experience adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm or small for gestational age birth, than who space their births further apart. However, the used inform these estimates methodological shortcomings.In this commentary, we summarise discussions an expert workgroup describing good practices design, analysis, and...
Abstract Both the USA and Europe experienced substantial excess mortality in 2020 2021 related to COVID-19 pandemic. Methods used estimate vary, making comparisons difficult. This retrospective observational study included data on deaths from all causes occurring 25 European countries or subnational areas participating network for monitoring of public health action (EuroMOMO). We applied EuroMOMO algorithm all-cause during first two years pandemic, 2020–2021, compared by age group time...
We sought to measure overall disparities in pregnancy outcome, incorporating data from the many race and ethnic groups that compose US population, improve understanding of how may have changed over time.
