- Emergency department visits for substance use among youth (ages 12-21) rose from 2.8% to 3.4% of all visits between 2018 and 2023, particularly among 18-21-year-olds, but also in younger groups.
- Female visits for substance use increased significantly, from 43.4% to 52.4% during this period.
- Cannabis-related visits saw a substantial rise from 17.9% to 35.3%, while alcohol remained the most common substance involved, accounting for 53.1% of visits.
Adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma have increased mortality and health care utilization; however, there are individuals with respiratory symptoms (including cough and wheeze) without asthma. These individuals may have similar patterns of increased mortality and health care utilization. To characterize the association between respiratory phenotype and health care utilization by adults with SCD.

Importantly, understanding the relation between attention and awareness is probably not possible without taking into account the fact that both are heterogeneous and multifaceted mechanisms. Therefore, the present study tested the impact on visual awareness of two attentional mechanisms proposed by the Posner model: temporal alerting and spatio-temporal orienting.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Residential segregation has been identified as drivers of disparities in health outcomes, but further work is needed to understand this association with clinical outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We utilized Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) dataset to examine if there are differences in survival to discharge and survival with good neurological outcome, as well as likelihood of bystander CPR, using validated measures of racial, ethnic, and economic segregation.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study using data from the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) dataset to examine associations among adult OHCA patients.
Objective: To examine racial/ethnic differences in emergency department (ED) transfers to public hospitals and factors explaining these differences.
Data Sources And Study Setting: ED and inpatient data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project for Florida (2010-2019); American Hospital Association Annual Survey (2009-2018).
Study Design: Logistic regression examined race/ethnicity and payer on the likelihood of transfer to a public hospital among transferred ED patients.
