The Iowa Health Data Resource (IHDR): an innovative framework for transforming the clinical health data ecosystem.

Importance: This manuscript will be of interest to most Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) as they retool for the increasing emphasis on translational science from translational research. This effort is an extension of the EDW4R work that most CTSAs have done to deploy infrastructure and tools for researchers to access clinical data.

Objectives: The Iowa Health Data Resource (IHDR) is a strategic investment made by the University of Iowa to improve access to real-world health data.

Surgery start time and early implant failure: A case-control study.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of surgery start time (SST) and other patient- and therapy-related variables on the risk for early implant failure (EIF) in an academic setting.

Material And Methods: Data were extracted from the electronic health records of 61 patients who had at least one EIF and 140 age- and gender-matched, randomly selected, non-EIF controls. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify relevant associations between EIF and different variables, such as SST.

Electronic dental record-based surveillance of non-communicable conditions.

Objective: The objective of the study is to demonstrate that electronic dental records (EDRs) can be used to mine meaningful public health information.

Study Design: Retrospective electronic dental chart-based reporting of disease prevalence.

Methods: Using dental EDRs (N = 104,768), the authors assessed the prevalence of common non-communicable medical conditions among unique patients seen at a United States (U.
