Article Synopsis
- Participants increasingly expect transparency regarding their health information collected during research, with 84% wanting their data returned to them for personal use.
- A survey of 502 individuals revealed that email (67%) was the preferred method for receiving health data, while preferences varied based on age, education, and health literacy.
- Researchers should provide health information in various formats and tailor sharing options to meet diverse participant preferences, especially considering differences among generations and educational backgrounds.
Background/objective: Conflicting data exist regarding whether patients with systemic rheumatic disease (SRD) experience more severe outcomes related to COVID-19. Using data from adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in New York City during the first wave of the pandemic, we evaluated whether patients with SRD were at an increased risk for severe outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a medical records review study including patients aged ≥18 years with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalized at 3 NewYork-Presbyterian sites, March 3-May 15, 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a lack of ICU capacity, leading NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center to convert operating rooms into Expansion ICUs to handle a surge in critically ill patients.
- A study compared patient outcomes in these non-standard Expansion ICUs with standard ICUs, analyzing data from 66 patients in Expansion ICUs and 343 in standard ICUs.
- Despite differences in ICU and ventilatory length of stay, the Expansion ICU group showed comparable discharge rates to home and lower mortality rates, indicating that such modifications effectively provided safe patient care during the crisis.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how transparency in sharing health information affects trust in healthcare research, finding that many participants (84%) want their information returned to them.* -
- Results indicated that Black/African American participants were more likely to increase their trust with transparency about individual information and the intent behind data use, while women showed less trust in sharing with friends or health tech companies.* -
- Overall, the findings suggest that fostering trust in research involves understanding various factors and the necessity to include diverse groups with different trust levels in future studies.*
Objective: The purpose of this study was to estimate the time to recovery of command-following and associations between hypoxemia with time to recovery of command-following.
Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective, cohort study during the initial surge of the United States' pandemic (March-July 2020) we estimate the time from intubation to recovery of command-following, using Kaplan Meier cumulative-incidence curves and Cox proportional hazard models. Patients were included if they were admitted to 1 of 3 hospitals because of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), required endotracheal intubation for at least 7 days, and experienced impairment of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale motor score <6).
Purpose: To evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes other than death in patients hospitalised and intubated with COVID-19.
Methods: This is a single-centre cohort study of adults with COVID-19 admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medicine from 3 March 2020 through 15 May 2020. Baseline and outcome variables, as well as lab and ventilatory parameters, were generated for the admitted and intubated cohorts after stratifying by BMI category.
A total of 27 ambient air samples of were collected from six locations in Hong kong during the period of January-August, 2000 and analysed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). In all sampling locations, higher concentrations of PCDDs/PCDFs, ranging from 0.03 to 0.
