A call for the informatics community to define priority practice and research areas at the intersection of climate and health: report from 2023 mini-summit.

Objective: Although biomedical informatics has multiple roles to play in addressing the climate crisis, collaborative action and research agendas have yet to be developed. As a first step, AMIA's new Climate, Health, and Informatics Working Group held a mini-summit entitled Climate and health: How can informatics help? during the AMIA 2023 Fall Symposium to define an initial set of areas of interest and begin mobilizing informaticians to confront the urgent challenges of climate change.

Materials And Methods: The AMIA Climate, Health, and Informatics Working Group (at the time, an AMIA Discussion Forum), the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics (IAHSI), and the Regenstrief Institute hosted a mini-summit entitled Climate and health: How can informatics help? on November 11, 2023, during the AMIA 2023 Annual Symposium (New Orleans, LA, USA).

Persistent Beta-Blocker Therapy Reduces Long-Term Mortality in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke With Elevated Heart Rates.

Background: Elevated heart rate in patients with acute ischemic stroke is associated with increased risk of mortality. Beta-blocker therapy is well known to reduce heart rate.

Methods And Results: This study was a post hoc analysis of patients with acute ischemic stroke with maximum heart rates ≥100 bpm.

Proteinuria Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the Young Population.

Background: Proteinuria is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, but its prognostic value for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young individuals remains unproven. We aimed to evaluate whether proteinuria in young people is associated with an increased risk of SCA.

Methods And Results: Individuals aged between 20 and 39 years who underwent health screening between 2009 and 2012 in South Korea were included (n=6 891 400).

Understanding the Stress Process Among Mexican American Adults aged 50 and older in the United States.

Objectives: Compared to non-Latino White adults, Mexican Americans in the U.S. are disproportionally exposed to more social, environmental, and economic stress that increase risk for poor physical and mental health outcomes.

Gene-Diet Interactions in High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol-Related Polymorphisms and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Insights from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study.

: Understanding gene-diet interactions is crucial for establishing dietary guidelines for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study analyzed the interaction between dietary intake and six genome-wide association study (GWAS)-identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and their impact on CVD risk. : A total of 68,806 participants in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) were analyzed.
