Digital health and inpatient palliative care: a cohort-controlled study.

Objectives: End of life has unacceptable levels of hospital admission and death. We aimed to determine the association of a novel digital specific system (Proactive Risk-Based and Data-Driven Assessment of Patients at the End of Life, PRADA) to modify such events.

Methods: A cohort-controlled study of those discharged alive, who died within 90 days of discharge, comparing PRADA (n=114) with standard care (n=3730).

Is there a role for synthetic biology in addressing the transition to a new low-carbon energy system?

Recruiting and engaging African-American men in health research.

Background: Improving the health of black and minority ethnic (BME) men in the US continues to be a public health priority. Compared with men of other races and ethnicities, African-American men have higher rates of mortality and morbidity from chronic illness and diseases including cancer, heart disease, prostate cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS. One way to address these disparities is to include African-American men in health research, to elicit their perspectives on health risks and protective factors.
