Inpatient Hospitalizations for COVID-19 Among Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome: A National Inpatient Sample Analysis.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder associated with baseline respiratory impairment caused by multiple contributing etiologies. While this may be expected to increase the risk of severe COVID-19 infections in PWS patients, survey studies have suggested paradoxically low disease severity. To better characterize the course of COVID-19 infection in patients with PWS, this study analyses the outcomes of hospitalizations for COVID-19 among patients with and without PWS.

Developing a Nursing Workload Intensity Staffing Model: Evaluating the Perceptions of Nurses and the Effect on Nursing-Sensitive Indicators.

Objective: To explore a workload intensity staffing (WIS) model's effect on nurse and patient outcomes.

Background: Little is known about the relationship between WIS and nurse and patient outcomes.

Methods: A point-based workload intensity tool was developed and implemented to determine the level of care for adult inpatients.

Flange Size Matters: A Comparative Pilot Study of the Flange FITS Guide Versus Traditional Sizing Methods.

Background: Pumping is a common practice in the United States, but it can be uncomfortable and lead to concerns about milk supply. The fit of the flange, or breast shield, used while pumping can contribute to or alleviate these problems. Flanges are available in a wide variety of sizes, and there are inconsistencies in guidance provided by healthcare providers and pump manufacturers for parents choosing a size.

The Relationship between Sleep and Physical Activity by Age, Race, and Gender.

Cardiometabolic diseases remain the leading cause of death in the United States. Lifestyle factors contribute the majority of risk for these diseases. Although diet and exercise have been the primary focus of research on modifiable behaviors to target for interventions to prevent cardiometabolic disease, recent evidence suggests that sleep also plays an important role.

Development of a Practical Prediction Model for Adverse Neonatal Outcomes at the Start of the Second Stage of Labor.

Objective: To develop a prediction model for adverse neonatal outcomes using electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) interpretation data and other relevant clinical information known at the start of the second stage of labor.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of individuals who labored and delivered at two academic medical centers between July 2016 and June 2020. Individuals were included if they had a singleton gestation at term (more than 37 weeks of gestation), a vertex-presenting, nonanomalous fetus, and planned vaginal delivery and reached the start of the second stage of labor.
