A prediction model to assess the risk of hospital readmission can be valuable to identify patients who may benefit from extra care. Developing hospital-specific readmission risk prediction models using local data is not feasible for many institutions. Models developed on data from one hospital may not generalize well to another hospital.

- The study aimed to assess whether the PROPEL program could boost physical activity participation for stroke survivors up to six months after rehab compared to standard group cardiorespiratory exercise (GCE).
- A total of 172 stroke participants were randomly assigned to either the PROPEL or GCE programs, with the main focus on adherence to physical activity guidelines at the six-month mark.
- Although PROPEL participants showed higher exercise self-efficacy compared to GCE participants, this did not significantly increase the likelihood of meeting physical activity guidelines.
Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as Long-COVID, encompasses a variety of complex and varied outcomes following COVID-19 infection that are still poorly understood. We clustered over 600 million condition diagnoses from 14 million patients available through the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), generating hundreds of highly detailed clinical phenotypes. Assessing patient clinical trajectories using these clusters allowed us to identify individual conditions and phenotypes strongly increased after acute infection.

Objective: This study projected future socioeconomic costs (healthcare, formal social care, and informal care costs) and value of quality adjusted life years (QALYs) lost to dementia in China and assessed drivers of socioeconomic costs.
Methods: Based on our prior projection on dementia cases to 2050 by a Markov model, we forecasted future socioeconomic costs and the value of QALYs from a societal perspective, utilizing the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.
