Cohort

  1. Machine-learning algorithms improved smoking identification in health records
    Study comparing machine learning and rule-based algorithms for identifying smokers in administrative health data found ML models doubled sensitivity for detecting current smokers.
  2. War-related stress linked to lower children's functional cognition
    War-related stress reduces functional cognition in children, especially those with special needs. BRIEF questionnaire screens for difficulties and guides occupational therapy interventions.
  3. Pregnancy-associated SCAD showed a higher-risk clinical pattern
    Registry study reveals pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection cases have distinct clinical profiles, lower fibromuscular dysplasia rates, and reduced cardiac recovery.
  4. Early intervention was linked to better third-grade academic outcomes
    Cohort study demonstrates that early intervention services for children under 3 with developmental delays improve academic outcomes in later childhood, with implications for service planning.
  5. Donor TNFα linked to worse kidney graft outcomes
    High circulating tumor necrosis factor α in deceased organ donors associates with inferior kidney graft function and survival after transplantation through TNFR1-mediated injury mechanisms.
  6. Fathers had lower diagnosed psychiatric disorder rates during pregnancy and early post partum
    Swedish fathers show reduced psychiatric diagnoses during partner's pregnancy and early postpartum, with rates returning to baseline in late postpartum. Study reveals critical vulnerability window.
  7. Donor acceptance patterns in pancreas transplant changed over time
    Population cohort study reveals declining DCD pancreas utilization despite good outcomes, while Hepatitis C and IVDU donors gain acceptance in transplantation practice.
  8. No evidence of increased gaming-related problems with long-term use of a video game therapeutic: Exploratory endpoint findings from a randomized controlled trial
    Long-term use of a video game therapeutic for depression showed no increase in gaming-related problems, with deterioration rates low across all study arms.
  9. XGBoost best predicted healthy aging in All of Us cohort
    Cohort study utilizing All of Us data identifies health insurance type as the primary predictor of healthy aging among older adults using machine learning models.
  10. Childhood adversity linked to higher treatment-resistant depression risk
    Cohort study demonstrating association between adverse childhood experiences and treatment-resistant depression, independent of familial confounding factors.
  11. Offspring CHD incidence was higher in mothers with CHD
    Retrospective cohort study quantifying congenital heart defect incidence in offspring of non-syndromic affected mothers, with characterization of defect severity patterns.
  12. Centenarian cohort profile described in Colombia
    Colombian centenarian cohort baseline study characterizing health status and aging determinants to advance understanding of extreme longevity mechanisms.
  13. Predictive modeling identified later emergent depression risk
    Longitudinal predictive modeling identifies psychosocial and demographic risk factors for emergent major depressive disorder using machine learning explainability methods.
  14. Nine-month oral TB regimens showed durable three-year outcomes
    Nine-month all-oral TB regimens show 89.5% durable three-year cure rates but persistent linezolid neuropathy affects 22.6% of patients, raising safety concerns.
  15. Maternal HIV linked to altered gut microbes and metabolites
    Longitudinal cohort analysis of gut dysbiosis and metabolomic alterations in mothers with HIV and their infants, identifying microbial and biochemical pathways linked to adverse perinatal outcomes.
  16. Undocumented patients had more self-pay ED visits after 2018
    Study shows undocumented patients increased self-pay emergency visits after 2018 public charge policy announcement, with differential rates persisting through mid-2019.
  17. Swiss cohort links kidney stones to diabetes and family history
    SKIPOGH cohort study reveals kidney stone prevalence of 5.6% in Swiss adults, with diabetes, family history, and smoking as key risk factors. Findings support lifestyle modifications for prevention.
  18. PET/CT lesion profiles matched tuberculosis treatment outcomes in marmosets
    PET/CT-derived multivariate lesion profiles in M. tuberculosis–infected marmosets predict clinical regimen performance, distinguish cavitary granuloma responses, and outperform bacterial burden.
  19. Regular home visits were not linked to fewer ED visits during heat
    Cohort study of 597,388 dual-eligible older adults found no significant association between weekly Medicaid home visits preceding extreme heat events and reduced ED visit rates during those events.
