Article Synopsis
- The Million Person Study (MPS) investigates the health impacts of gradual exposure to ionizing radiation on over one million U.S. radiation workers and veterans, focusing on both cancer and non-cancer conditions.
- Recent efforts have highlighted mortality patterns related to neurological and behavioral disorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, by analyzing claims data from Medicare beneficiaries.
- To manage the extensive and complex dataset, the MPS is developing specialized open-source software (Colossus) to facilitate detailed evaluation of health outcomes and related factors from the collected health information.

The optimisation of sedation to mechanical ventilation is fundamental, and inappropriate sedation has been associated with worse outcomes. This scoping review has been designed to answer the question '
