Impact of hospitals' LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts on patient satisfaction from 2016 to 2023: a retrospective longitudinal observational study.

Background: Given the emphasis on promoting inclusive policies, we investigated the relationship between US hospitals' inclusion efforts for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and other sexual and gender-diverse (LGBTQ+) populations and patient satisfaction from 2016 to 2023.

Methods: This retrospective longitudinal observational study analysed 6 years of data between 2016 and 2023 from the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), which measures hospitals' LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts, and the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, which measures patient satisfaction. Generalised estimating equations (GEE) were used to obtain population-averaged estimates of the association between hospitals' LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts-assessed by (1) their participation and (2) performance in the HEI (range: 0-100)-and patient satisfaction-measured by (1) patients' hospital rating (range: 0-100) and (2) willingness to recommend the hospital (range: 0-100).

Investigation of ceftriaxone-resistant detected in Scotland, 2018-2024.

Objectives: Describe the clinical, phenotypic and genomic characteristics of ceftriaxone-resistant from Scotland.

Methods: Cases were identified in routine care from 2018 to 2024. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined for seven antimicrobial agents.

Countermovement Jump Inefficiency Is Mostly Independent of Quadriceps Weakness in Athletes Returning to Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Orishimo, KF, Fukunaga, T, Kremenic, IJ, Rao, S, Magill, R, Ling, WK, McHugh, MP, and Nicholas, SJ. Countermovement jump inefficiency is mostly independent of quadriceps weakness in athletes returning to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), comparing ground reaction force (GRF) metrics during countermovement jumps (CMJs) and isokinetic quadriceps strength testing may aid in return-to-sport decision-making.

Rationale and design for Healthy Hearts in Manufacturing (HHM): A pragmatic single-arm hybrid effectiveness-implementation study for hypertension management and tobacco cessation.

Background: Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the United States and contributes more than $320 billion annually in health care costs and lost productivity. Manufacturing employment is associated with higher rates of hypertension and smoking. Many large manufacturers provide health services to employees and their family members through worksite health centers (WHCs).

Association of Racial and Ethnic Composition With Staff Levels in Nursing Homes: 2013-2019.

Objectives: The nursing home (NH) population has become increasingly diverse, yet many facilities remain de facto racially segregated. This study examines whether a high proportion of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) residents is associated with nursing staff levels.

Design: We constructed a longitudinal cohort of NHs (2013-2019) by linking Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports, LTCFocUS.
