Background: The relationship between community-based healthcare barriers and risk of recurrent hospital-based care among persons with chronic liver disease (CLD) is understudied. We aimed to uncover distinct groups among adults in the United States with CLD based on healthcare barriers and risk-stratify recurrent acute care use by group.
Methods: Using National Health Interview Survey (2011 to 2017) data, we performed latent class analysis (LCA) to uncover groups experiencing distinct sets of healthcare barriers.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the impact of COVID-19 on maternal deaths in Brazil, utilizing data from national health databases to predict maternal mortality ratios for 2020 and 2021 based on historical data.
- In 2021, the actual comprehensive maternal mortality ratio (MMRc) was over double what was predicted, highlighting significant increases in maternal deaths during this period.
- There were notable regional differences in maternal mortality, with the South experiencing the highest rates, and the report suggests that enhancing prenatal and postpartum care is essential to address the rising trend in comprehensive maternal deaths.
Introduction: Ignition interlock devices installed after conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) have been shown to reduce subsequent DUI arrests (specific deterrence). However, there is little evidence on how interlock-device penalties might affect general deterrence, that is, deterring people from driving after consuming alcohol prior to a DUI conviction.
Methods: A discrete choice experiment was conducted and data were analyzed in 2023 with 583 U.
Background And Aims: The extent of healthcare barriers and its association with acute care use among adults with chronic liver disease (CLD) relative to other chronic conditions remains understudied. We compared the probability of barriers and recurrent acute care use among persons with CLD and persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: We assembled a population-based, cross-sectional study using pooled self-reported National Health Interview Survey data (2011-2017) among community-dwelling persons.
