Importance: Classification of persons with long COVID (LC) or post-COVID-19 condition must encompass the complexity and heterogeneity of the condition. Iterative refinement of the classification index for research is needed to incorporate newly available data as the field rapidly evolves.
Objective: To update the 2023 research index for adults with LC using additional participant data from the Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER-Adult) study and an expanded symptom list based on input from patient communities.
Objective: To examine the impact of coping styles in older adults with asthma on the prospective relationship between depressive symptoms and asthma outcomes, and how their perceptions of social support influenced their coping styles.
Methods: Adults 60 and over with asthma were recruited and interviewed about their experiences of asthma, depression, and other psychosocial factors over three time points (Baseline, 6-month, and 12-month visits). Structural equation models examined the mediating roles of coping styles in the relationship between depressive symptoms (assessed by BDI-II) and asthma outcomes (i.
Article Synopsis
- This report analyzes the trends in statin prescriptions for breast cancer survivors with diabetes, a group at significant risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- The study utilized data from the SEER cancer registry and Medicare claims, evaluating prescription rates based on various factors like age and race.
- Results indicated that 68% of participants received statin prescriptions, with an increasing trend over the years and a notable racial disparity, suggesting the need for improved prescription practices in this high-risk population.
Background: Multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) is an increasingly utilized noninvasive option for colorectal cancer screening; however, its impact is limited by imperfect test adherence. Tailored patient navigation (TPN) improves adherence for other cancer screening tests, but its role in mt-sDNA is not known.
Aim: Determine whether TPN improves mt-sDNA completion and reduces sample could not be processed (SCNBP) result rates.
There is a greater prevalence of cognitive impairment among ethnic and/or racial minorities, and cognitive impairment is a barrier to asthma self-management (SM) behaviors and outcomes in older adults. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between cognitive impairment, assessed by using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and asthma SM behaviors and outcomes in a sample of predominantly Black and Latino participants. In addition, we evaluated whether using two different MoCA cutoff scores influenced the association between cognitive impairment and asthma outcomes.
