A discrete-time split-state framework for multi-state modeling with application to describing the course of heart disease
Abstract In chronic disease epidemiology, the investigation of disease etiology has largely focused on an endpoint, while the course of chronic disease is understudied, representing a knowledge gap. Multi-state models can be used to describe the course of chronic disease, such as Markov models…

Summary measures derived from a multi-state modeling framework to characterize the course of heart disease
Abstract Background The course of heart disease involves multiple endpoints, and how to characterize this course needs investigation. Multi-state models are commonly used to model the disease course, estimating state occupation probabilities (survival risks) in each state over time. These…

mHealth Physical Activity and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Cluster Analysis
BackgroundRegular physical activity is associated with improved quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), although much of the existing research is based on self-reported data. Wearable devices provide objective data on many rich physical activity dimensions including…

Bridging access and impact: primary care parenting intervention reduces early behavior problems in both virtual and in-person delivery modes
BackgroundEarly childhood behavior problems are common and linked to adverse outcomes, including risk of maltreatment. Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement in primary care (PriCARE) is an evidence-based group parenting program delivered in pediatric primary care to reduce disruptive behaviors and…

Design of a dual randomized trial in a type 2 hybrid effectiveness—implementation study
Abstract Background Dual randomized controlled trials (DRCT) are type 2 hybrid studies that include two randomized trials: one testing implementation strategies and one testing an intervention. We argue that this study design offers efficiency by providing rigorous investigation of both…

Variations in blood pressure control by medical comorbidities prior to sudden death
Abstract Patients with hypertension have increased risk of sudden death, but the impact of blood pressure control in sudden death is not clear. To better understand potential opportunities to prevent sudden, we assessed blood pressure control, comorbidities, and the number of recent medical…

The effect of orthodontic clinical use on the mechanical characteristics of nickel-titanium closed-coil springs
Objective To examine the effect of clinical use on both force retention and the deactivation of closed-coil nickel-titanium (NiTi) springs in a 16-week trial. Methods The force-activation curves for NiTi springs were determined before and after clinical use. The rate of tooth movement and maximum…

Impact of an Outpatient Pharmacist Intervention on Medication Discrepancies and Health Care Resource Utilization in Posthospitalization Care Transitions
Purpose: Medication errors related to hospital discharge result in rehospitalization and emergency department (ED) visits, yet no systematic approach has been implemented nationally to decrease these medication errors. Pharmacist involvement during postdischarge transitions of care may be an…

A two-year prospective study to compare the peri-implant parameters of posterior implant-supported single crowns with and without mesial proximal contact loss
Background/purpose: Interproximal contact loss may lead to food impaction and result in subsequently periodontal complications. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the peri-implant parameters of posterior implant-supported single crowns (SCs) with and without mesial proximal…

Practical Implications of the Non-Linear Relationship between the Test Positivity Rate and Malaria Incidence
Background: The test positivity rate (TPR), defined as the number of laboratory-confirmed malaria tests per 100 suspected cases examined, is widely used by malaria surveillance programs as one of several key indicators of temporal trends in malaria incidence. However, there have been few studies…

Multi-state models of transitions in depression and anxiety symptom severity and cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease
Objective: Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) commonly suffer from depression and anxiety, yet transitions of symptom severity and cardiovascular events (CVE) over time are not well characterized. Methods: We included 997 patients with stable CHD from a prospective cohort study. We…

Early versus late tracheostomy after decompressive craniectomy for stroke
Abstract Background Stroke patients requiring decompressive craniectomy are at high risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Tracheostomy placement may reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation. Predicting which patients will require tracheostomy and…

Factor XIII deficiency does not prevent FeCl3‐induced carotid artery thrombus formation in mice
Abstract Background The compositions of venous (red blood cell–rich) and arterial (platelet‐rich) thrombi are mediated by distinct pathophysiologic processes; however, fibrin is a major structural component of both. The transglutaminase factor XIII (FXIII) stabilizes fibrin against mechanical and…

Association between lone star tick bites and increased alpha-gal sensitization: evidence from a prospective cohort of outdoor workers
Abstract Background Alpha-gal is an oligosaccharide implicated in delayed anaphylaxis following red meat consumption. Exposure to tick bites has been correlated with development of an allergic response to alpha-gal. However, evidence prospectively linking exposure to a single tick species and an…

High mortality rates after distal femur fractures in patients with end-stage renal disease
Abstract. Objectives:. Hip fractures in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are associated with high mortality rates. The effect of ESRD on mortality after operative treatment of distal femur fractures is not known. Our hypothesis was that distal femur fractures carry a similar mortality…

Implementing an adapted patient safety bundle for pregnancy-related severe hypertension to improve recognition, response, and respectful care in the outpatient setting
Abstract Background Severe hypertension (HTN) during pregnancy is highly associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, yet many cases occur in outpatient settings where standardized management is lacking. We used a community-engaged approach to adapt an evidence-based inpatient HTN bundle for…
