Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) has been associated with psychiatric comorbidities.
Objectives: To characterize the association between AD and bipolar disorder (BPD) with a case-control study of the NIH All of Us Research Program.
Methods: Utilizing Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine diagnostic codes, we identified cases of AD.
Background: The implementation of preventive therapies among patients with stroke remains inadequately explored, especially when compared with patients with myocardial infarction (MI), despite sharing similar vascular risk profiles. We tested the hypothesis that participants with a history of stroke have a worse cardiovascular prevention profile in comparison to participants with MI.
Methods And Results: In cross-sectional analyses within the UK Biobank and All of Us Research Program, involving 14 760 (9193 strokes, 5567 MIs) and 7315 (2948 strokes, 4367 MIs) participants, respectively, we evaluated cardiovascular prevention profiles assessing low-density lipoprotein (<100 mg/dL), blood pressure (systolic, <140 mm Hg; and diastolic, <90 mm Hg), statin and antiplatelet use, and a cardiovascular prevention score that required meeting at least 3 of these criteria.
Article Synopsis
- A case-control study was conducted to explore the relationship between sarcoidosis and autoimmune diseases using a large, diverse cohort in the USA.
- The research analyzed data from over 1,400 sarcoidosis patients and more than 5,600 matched controls, identifying seven autoimmune diseases significantly associated with sarcoidosis.
- The findings suggest that sarcoidosis patients have a higher likelihood (2.29 times more) of also having autoimmune diseases, highlighting the importance of screening these patients for such conditions.
Importance: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the US. Accurate and updated measures of stroke burden are needed to guide public health policies.
Objective: To present burden estimates of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in the US in 2019 and describe trends from 1990 to 2019 by age, sex, and geographic location.
Background: Patients with ischemic stroke and concomitant COVID-19 infection have worse outcomes than those without this infection, but the impact of COVID-19 on hemorrhagic stroke remains unclear. We aimed to assess if COVID-19 worsens outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
Methods And Results: We conducted an observational study of ICH outcomes using Get With The Guidelines Stroke data.
