Neurology paper "Sequence of Alzheimer disease biomarker changes in cognitively normal adults: A cross-sectional study" Table e-1
<p>Our Neurology 2020 paper titled "<span><a><b>Sequence of Alzheimer disease biomarker changes </b></a><b>in cognitively normal </b></span><b>adults: A cross-sectional study" explores the cascades of </b>changes of several well-known Alzheimer disease (AD) markers including cerebrow spinal fluid (CSF), imaging (PET-PIB and MRI) and cognitive markers in cognitively normal participants. The baseline marker data of participants is modeled as a piecewise linear function of baseline age allowing one change point, without and with adjustment for covariates. The change point of a marker incicates the acceleration time of point after which a greater percentage of the participants present preclinical AD compared to before the change point. Cosnistent with previous research, the study confirmed that Abeta42 showed the earliest change-point around 50 years old and cognition had a late change point around 62. The study further found Tau, pTau and MRI hippalcampal volume had their change point closer to cognition. We identified change points in all participants, as well as by stratification of APOE4 status. The data here displays the Supplemental table Table e-1 accompanying the paper where the change point results by stratification of APOE4 status are presented.</p> <div> <div> <div class="msocomtxt"> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p>
Clinical Trial Transparency and Data-Sharing Among Bio-Pharmaceutical Companies and the Role of Company Size, Location, and Product Type: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Analysis
<p><b>Objective</b>: To examine company characteristics associated with better transparency and to apply a tool used to measure and improve clinical trial transparency among large companies and drugs, to smaller companies and biologics.</p> <p><b>Design</b>: Cross-sectional descriptive analysis.</p> <p><b>Setting and participants. </b>Novel drugs and biologics FDA approved in 2016 and 2017, and their company sponsors.</p> <p>Using established Good Pharma Scorecard (GPS) measures, companies and products were evaluated on their clinical trial registration, results dissemination, and FDA Amendments Act (FDAAA) implementation; Companies were ranked using these measures and a multi-component data sharing measure. Associations between company transparency scores with company size (large vs non-large), location (US vs non-US), and sponsored product type (drug vs biologic) were also examined. 26% of products (16/62) had publicly available results for all clinical trials supporting their FDA approval and 67% (39/58) had public results for trials in patients by 6 months after their FDA approval; 58% (32/55) were FDAAA compliant. Large companies were significantly more transparent than non-large companies (overall median transparency score of 95% [IQR 91-100] vs 59% [IQR 41-70], p<0.001), attributable to higher FDAAA compliance (median of 100% [IQR 88-100] vs 57% [0-100], p=0.01) and better data sharing (median of 100% [IQR 80-100] vs 20% [IQR 20-40], p<0.01). No significant differences were observed by company location or product type. It was feasible to apply the GPS transparency measures and ranking tool to non-large companies and biologics. Large companies are significantly more transparent than non-large companies, driven by better data sharing procedures and implementation of FDAAA trial reporting requirements. Greater research transparency is needed, particularly among non-large companies, to maximize the benefits of research for patient care and scientific innovation. </p>
Alert burden in pediatric hospitals: A cross-sectional analysis of six academic pediatric health systems using novel metrics
<p class="Pediatrics">Background: Excessive electronic health record (EHR) alerts reduce the salience of actionable alerts. Little is known about the frequency of interruptive alerts across health systems and how the choice of metric affects which users appear to have the highest alert burden.</p> <p class="Pediatrics">Objective: (1) Analyze alert burden by alert type, care setting, provider type, and individual provider across 6 pediatric health systems. (2) Compare alert burden using different metrics.</p> <p class="Pediatrics">Materials and Methods: We analyzed interruptive alert firings logged in EHR databases at 6 pediatric health systems from 2016-2019 using 4 metrics: (1) alerts per patient encounter, (2) alerts per patient-day, (3) alerts per 100 orders, and (4) alerts per unique clinician days (calendar days with at least one EHR log in the system). We assessed intra- and inter-institutional variation and how alert burden rankings differed based on the chosen metric.</p> <p class="Pediatrics">Results: Alert burden varied widely across institutions, ranging from 0.06 to 0.76 firings per encounter, 0.22 to 1.06 firings per inpatient-day, 0.98 to 17.42 per 100 orders, and 0.08 to 3.34 firings per clinician day logged in the EHR. Custom alerts accounted for the greatest burden at all 6 sites. The rank order of institutions by alert burden was similar regardless of which alert burden metric was chosen. Within institutions, the alert burden metric choice substantially affected which provider types and care settings appeared to experience the highest alert burden.</p> <p>Conclusion: Estimates of the clinical areas with highest alert burden varied substantially by institution and based on the metric used.</p>

Use of medicinal plants for COVID-19 prevention and respiratory symptom treatment during the pandemic in Cusco, Peru: A cross-sectional survey
<p><b>Background:</b> The burden of the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru has led to people seeking alternative treatments as preventives and treatment options such as medicinal plants. This study aimed to assess factors associated with the use of medicinal plants as preventive or treatment of respiratory symptom related to COVID-19 during the pandemic in Cusco, Peru.<b> </b></p> <p><b>Method: </b>A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted on general public (20- to 70-year-old) from August 31 to September 20, 2020. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire via Google Forms, it consisted of an 11-item questionnaire that was developed and validated by expert judgment using Aiken's V (Aiken's V > 0.9). Both descriptive statistics and bivariate followed by multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess factors associated with the use of medicinal plants for COVID-19 prevention and respiratory symptom treatment during the pandemic. Prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI), and a P-value of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>A total of 1,747 respondents participated in the study, 80.2% reported that they used medicinal plants as preventives, while 71% reported that they used them to treat respiratory symptoms. At least, 24% of respondents used medicinal plants when presenting with two or more respiratory symptoms, while at least 11% used plants for malaise. For treatment or prevention, the multivariate analysis showed that most respondents used eucalyptus (p < 0.001 for both), ginger (p < 0.022 for both), spiked pepper (p < 0.003 for both), garlic (p = 0.023 for prevention), and chamomile (p = 0.011 for treatment). The respondents with COVID-19 (p < 0.001), at older ages (p = 0.046), and with a family member or friend who had COVID-19 (p < 0.001) used more plants for prevention. However, the respondents with technical or higher education used less plants for treatment (p < 0.001).</p> <p><b>Conclusion: </b>There was a significant use of medicinal plants for both prevention and treatment, which was associated with several population characteristics and whether respondents had COVID-19.</p>
Unfavorable triglyceride-rich particle profile in subclinical thyroid disease: A cross-sectional analysis of ELSA-Brasil
<p><span>Introduction: Subclinical thyroid disorders have been associated with atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular risk. As triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles (TRLP) have recently emerged as a casual factor for atherogenesis, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between subclinical hypo and hyperthyroidism and TRLP subfractions.</span></p> <p><span>Methods: We selected 5,066 participants from the ELSA-Brasil cohort with available data of thyroid function and lipid profile measured by NMR. Individuals were divided into three groups by baseline thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroidism, euthyroidism, and subclinical hyperthyroidism). TRLP subfractions were analyzed through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To examine the association between TRLP subfractions and thyroid function, we conducted univariate and multivariate linear regression models adjusted for demographic characteristics, BMI, diabetes, smoking status and alcohol use.</span></p> <p><span>Results: Of 3,304 individuals, 54% were women, with a mean age of 50.6±8,7 years, 51% white and 53% with at least college education. Of these individuals, 92% were euthyroid, whereas 6.8% had subclinical hypothyroidism and 1.2% had subclinical hyperthyroidism. The univariate linear regression showed that Very Small TRLP (p=0.026) and Very Large TRLP (p=0.008) were statistically increased in subclinical hypothyroidism when compared to euthyroidism. In subclinical hyperthyroidism, there was a reduction in total TRLP (p=0.003), seemingly driven by reduced Very Small-TRLP (p=0.067). The findings were confirmed when adjusted for demographic characteristics, as well as comorbidities.</span></p> <p>Conclusions: This study suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism is associated to very small and very large TRLP, which are related to an unfavorable atherogenic profile. Subclinical hyperthyroidism is associated to lower very small TRLP.</p>
Data from: Opportunities to catalyze improved healthcare access in pluralistic systems: a cross-sectional study in Haiti
<p><b>Introduction. </b>Gains to ensure global healthcare access are at risk of stalling because some old resilient challenges require new solutions. Our objective was to identify determinants of intended versus actual care-seeking behaviors in a pluralistic healthcare system that is reliant on both conventional and non-conventional providers and discover opportunities to catalyze improved healthcare access.</p> <p><b>Methods.</b> A cross-sectional study was conducted among households with children less than 5 years of age in Haiti. Households were randomly sampled geographically with stratifications for population density. Household questionnaires with standardized cases (intentions) were compared to self-recall of health events (behaviors). The connectedness of households and their providers was determined by network analysis.</p> <p><b>Results.</b> A total of 568 households (incorporating 2900 members) and 65 providers were enrolled. Households reported 636 health events in the prior month. Households sought care for 35% (n=220) and treated with home remedies for 44% (n=277). The odds of seeking care increased 217% for severe events (aOR=3.17; 95%CI 1.99-5.05; p< 0.001). The odds of seeking care from a conventional provider increased by 37% with increasing distance (aOR=1.37; 95%CI 1.06-1.79; p=0.016). Despite stating an intention to seek care from conventional providers, there was a lack of congruence in practice that favored non-conventional providers (McNemar's Chi-squared Test p<0.001). Care was sought from primary providers for 68% (n=150) of cases within a three-tiered network; 25% (n=38/150) were non-conventional.</p> <p><b>Conclusion.</b> Addressing geographic barriers, possibly with technology solutions, should be prioritized to meet healthcare seeking intentions while developing approaches to connect non-conventional providers into healthcare networks when geographic barriers cannot be overcome.</p>

Study of the medical service efficiency of county-level public general hospitals based on medical quality constraints: A cross-sectional study
<p><strong>Objectives:</strong> Since the new medical reform in 2009, county-level hospitals in China have achieved rapid development, but health resource waste and shortage issues still exist.</p> <p><strong>Design</strong>: We applied the Meta-frontier and SBM-undesirable(Slacks-based Measurement-undesirable) DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) model to measure the medical service efficiency with or without medical quality constraints of the county-level public general hospitals (CPGHs). The assessment includes four inputs, three desirable outputs, and one undesirable output. We conducted the assessment via Max-DEA V.8.19 software. Moreover, we analyze the factors affecting CPGHs' medical service efficiency based on the FRM model. </p> <p><strong>Setting:</strong> A total of 77 sample CPGHs were selected from Shanxi province in China from 2013 to 2018.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The results of this study showed that the efficiency level of county-level public hospitals in Shanxi Province is relatively low overall (the mean value of efficiency is 0.61 without quality constraints and 0.63 under quality constraints). This showed that ignoring medical quality constraints will result in lower efficiency and lower health resource utilization for high-medical-quality hospitals. The medical service efficiency of CPGHs differs greatly among different regions. Under the meta-frontier, the hospitals in the central region had the highest efficiency (efficiency score 0.70), followed by those in the south (efficiency score 0.63), and the hospitals in the north had the lowest efficiency (efficiency score 0.54). Factors that have larger impacts on the service efficiency of county public hospitals are the average length of hospital stay, per capita disposable income and financial subsidy income.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: To improve CPGHs' medical service efficiency, the government should increase investment in the northern region, and hospitals should improve the management level and allocate human resources rationally.</p>
