Article Synopsis
- Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) can lead to serious inflammatory and thrombotic responses, and the use of antiplatelet agents may positively influence patient outcomes, although their impact on non-COVID-19 CAP is unclear.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of antiplatelet agents on mortality in hospitalized patients with non-COVID-19 CAP, analyzing data from observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
- The findings suggest that antiplatelet agents are linked to lower mortality in observational studies, but the evidence from RCTs is inconclusive and overall trust in the results is low due to potential biases.
Background: Infectious syphilis rates have been increasing in Winnipeg, Manitoba among individuals during their childbearing years. Untreated or inadequately treated prenatal infection often results in congenital syphilis, with devastating consequences to fetal health and survival. The objective of this study was to review public health surveillance data regarding congenital syphilis incidence and birthing parent risk factors in Winnipeg from 2018 to 2020.

We utilized machine-learning to identify patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that accurately predict major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorder in an IMID population.
Methods: Participants with IMID were enrolled in a cohort study and completed a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR Axis I Disorders (SCID), and multiple PROMs.
Trends in chronic disease incidence rates from the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System.
Health Promot Chronic Dis Prev Can
June 2019
Introduction: The Public Health Agency of Canada's Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System (CCDSS) produces population-based estimates of chronic disease prevalence and incidence using administrative health data. Our aim was to assess trends in incidence rates over time, trends are essential to understand changes in population risk and to inform policy development.
Methods: Incident cases of diagnosed asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and stroke were obtained from the CCDSS online infobase for 1999 to 2012.
Objective: Studies about the health of Indigenous (i.e., original inhabitants) populations often focus on chronic diseases and risk behaviors, emphasizing physical aspects of health.
