Objective: To estimate the rate of acute health care use (hospitalizations and emergency department [ED] visits) among postpartum persons by rurality of residence and pregnancy complications.
Data Sources And Study Setting: 2006-2021 data from the Maine Health Data Organization's All Payer Claims Data.
Study Design: We estimated the rates of hospitalizations and ED visits during the first 24 months postpartum, separately, overall and by four-level rurality of residence (urban, large rural, small rural, and isolated rural) and by pregnancy complications (prenatal depression, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy [HDP], and gestational diabetes mellitus [GDM]).
Purpose: Patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) display elevated circulating microparticle (MP) concentration, tissue factor (TF) expression and markers of systemic inflammation, though regular intradialytic cycling (IDC) may have a therapeutic effect. This study investigated the impact of regular, moderate-intensity IDC on circulating MPs and inflammatory markers in unit-based HD patients.
Methods: Patients were cluster-randomised to intervention (n = 20, age: 51.
Introduction: No formal cost-effectiveness analysis has been performed for programs of cycling exercise during dialysis (intradialytic cycling [IDC]). The objective of this analysis is to determine the effect of a 6-month program of IDC on health care costs.
Methods: This is a retrospective formal cost-effectiveness analysis of adult participants with end-stage kidney disease undertaking in-center maintenance hemodialysis enrolled in the CYCLE-HD trial.
Background: Higher produce consumption in childhood decreases risks of short- and long-term malnutrition, obesity, and disease. Children in early care programs, including family child care homes (FCCHs), receive 50-67% of daily nutrition while in care. Procuring nutritious foods requires grocer access, which is absent in food deserts (FDs).
