U.S. national trends in cervical cancer screening by sexual orientation and race/ethnicity in cisgender women.

Introduction: Changes in up-to-date cervical cancer screening (CCS) over time by sexual orientation and race/ethnicity were estimated to identify trends in screening disparities.

Methods: This 2024 retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of National Health Interview Survey data (years 2013, 2015, 2019 and 2021) included 40,818 cisgender women aged 21-65 without hysterectomy. Joinpoint analysis was performed to calculate the annual percent change (APC) of up-to-date CCS from 2013 to 2021.

Adherence patterns 1 year after initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors: results of a national cohort study.

Objectives: Adherence to medications is important for the management of chronic diseases. Although the proportion of days covered (PDC) is a common metric for measuring adherence, it may be insufficient to distinguish relevant differences in medication-taking behavior. Group-based trajectory models (GBTMs) have been used to better represent adherence over time.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Organ Donation among Students of Jazan University: A Cross-sectional Study.

For several end-stage diseases, the only treatment option is organ transplantation, but the availability of organs is a challenge. More thorough knowledge and more positive attitudes toward organ donation among university students may encourage greater willingness to donate an organ. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding organ donation among students of Jazan University, Saudi Arabia, via a 30-item questionnaire.

Evaluating the use of methods to mitigate bias from non-transient medications in the case-crossover design: A systematic review.

Purpose: The case-crossover design is a self-controlled study design used to compare exposure immediately preceding an event occurrence with exposure in earlier control periods. The design is most suitable for transient exposures in order to avoid biases that can be problematic when using the case-crossover design for non-transient (i.e.

It Is Not Always an Ectopic or Heterotopic Pregnancy.

Uterine rupture is a life-threatening peripartum complication. Spontaneous uterine rupture in early pregnancy is very rare. The diagnosis of uterine rupture should be considered when a pregnant patient presents with an acute abdomen because its clinical signs in early pregnancy are non-specific and the differentiation with other acute abdominal emergencies is challenging.
