Background: Previous epidemiologic studies of autoimmune diseases in the United States (US) have included a limited number of diseases or used meta-analyses that rely on different data collection methods and analyses for each disease.
Methods: To estimate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in the US, we used electronic health record data from six large medical systems in the US. We developed a software program using common methodology to compute the estimated prevalence of autoimmune diseases alone and in aggregate that can be readily used by other investigators to replicate or modify the analysis over time.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how various factors impact executive function (EF) impairments in individuals with type 2 diabetes, as EF issues can lead to worse health outcomes.
- Using baseline data from a Medicaid trial, researchers analyzed the relationships between EF and several demographic, health, and psychosocial factors through statistical methods.
- The findings highlighted six significant factors that correlate with EF impairment: age, education level, depression symptoms, comorbidity burden, diabetes-related distress, and future time orientation, emphasizing the importance of considering these when treating patients with diabetes.
Background: The incidence of tick-borne diseases is increasing across the USA, with cases concentrated in the northeastern and midwestern regions of the country. Ixodes scapularis is one of the most important tick-borne disease vectors and has spread throughout the northeastern USA over the past four decades, with established populations in all states of the region.
Methods: To better understand the rapid expansion of I.
Background: The risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is up to 50% among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, diabetes education during and after pregnancy is limited. To bridge this gap, our team developed four training modules on GDM for nurses and community health workers.
