Association of delayed asthma diagnosis with asthma exacerbations in children.

Background: There is a significant delay between symptom onset and diagnosis of childhood asthma, but the impact of this delay on asthma outcomes has not been well understood.

Objectives: We sought to study the association of delayed diagnosis of asthma with asthma exacerbations (AEs) in children.

Methods: Using the Mayo Clinic birth cohort, we identified children with a diagnosis of asthma from electronic health records.

Capacity assessment for EHR-based medical device post-market surveillance for synthetic mid-urethral slings among women with stress urinary incontinence: a NEST consortium study.

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility for use of electronic health record (EHR) data in conducting adverse event surveillance among women who received mid-urethral slings (MUS) to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in five health systems.

Design: Retrospective observational study using EHR data from 2010 through 2021. Women with a history of MUS were identified using common data models; a common analytic code was executed at each site.
