Objective: To elucidate how the clinical presentation of Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus 2 (PIMS-TS) was influenced by the successive variants of concern (VOC) and patient age.
Study Design: A nationwide PIMS-TS registry was established in Germany in May 2020, shortly after the first cases were described in the US and United Kingdom. The registry captured information on patient characteristics, clinical course, laboratory findings, imaging, and outcome.
Article Synopsis
- AI/AN populations have the highest cigarette smoking rates in the U.S., but past efforts haven't focused enough on maintaining cessation or pregnancy-related behaviors.
- Researchers aim to conduct a mixed-methods study to identify effective smoking cessation strategies.
- A community-engaged approach will involve qualitative interviews with AI/AN individuals and counselors, leading to a larger survey to develop and test new intervention methods for reducing smoking rates in this community.
