Objective: To examine gender and ethnic differences in functional status and living setting for patients after hip arthroplasty.
Design: Retrospective cohort study of 69,793 patients receiving inpatient medical rehabilitation after hip arthroplasty included in the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation database for the period of 2002-2003. Primary measures included functional status as assessed by the FIM instrument and discharge living setting (home vs. not home). The sample included non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and Asian patients.
Results: Multivariate regression models showed the greatest FIM instrument change scores from admission to discharge among non-Hispanic whites (mean [SE]: 23.42 [0.18]) and among women (mean [SE]: 22.79 [0.23]). Asians had the lowest mean change scores (mean [SE]: 22.00 [0.53]). Estimates from multivariate logistic models showed that being of nonwhite ethnicity was associated with higher odds of home discharge (black: OR [CI]: 1.23, CI 95% = 1.07, 1.41; Hispanic: OR [CI]: 1.51, CI 95% = 1.15-1.99). Compared with women, men had higher odds of home discharge (OR [CI]: 1.08, CI 95% = 1.01, 1.17).
Conclusions: The findings suggest that ethnic and gender disparities exist in postacute care outcomes for persons with hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: COVID-19 vaccinations reduce the severity and number of symptoms for acute SARS-CoV-2 infections and may reduce the risk of developing Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Limited and heterogenous data exist on how these vaccinations received after COVID-19 infection might impact the symptoms and trajectory of PASC, once persistent symptoms have developed.
Methods: We investigated the association of post-COVID-19 vaccination with any SARS-CoV-2 vaccine(s) on PASC symptoms in two independent cohorts: a retrospective chart review of self-reported data from patients ( = 128) with PASC seen in the Stanford PASC Clinic between May 2021 and May 2022 and a 2023 multinational survey assessment of individuals with PASC ( = 484).

: Pathophysiological variability in patients with cancer is associated with differences in responses to pharmacotherapy. In this work, we aimed to describe the demographic characteristics and hematological, biochemical, and coagulation variables in a large oncology cohort and to develop, optimize, and provide open access to modeling equations for the estimation of variables potentially relevant in pharmacokinetic modeling. : Using data from 1793 patients with cancer, divided into training ( = 1259) and validation ( = 534) datasets, a modeling network was developed and used to simulate virtual oncology populations.

Ethnocultural differences between Jewish and Arab communities in Northern Israel may contribute to disparities in type 2 diabetes prevalence. Widespread screening strategies, including hospital-based initiatives, are crucial for early detection of hyperglycemia. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of postprandial hyperglycemia and identify its associated factors in a diverse population of non-diabetic adults visiting the Galilee Medical Center, a tertiary care hospital in Northern Israel.

Molecular profiles can predict which patients will respond to current standard treatment and new targeted therapy regimens. Using data from a highly diverse population of approximately three million in Southeast London and Kent, this study aims to evaluate the prevalence of IDH1 mutation and MGMT promoter methylation in the gliomas diagnosed in adult patients and to explore correlations with patients' demographic and clinicopathological characteristics. Anonymised data on 749 adult patients diagnosed with a glioma in 2015-2019 at King's College Hospital were extracted.

Rising rates of depression among youth present a growing mental health crisis. Despite growing concerns regarding the risks of air pollution exposure on youth mental and physical health, associations between ambient air pollutants and depression have been largely overlooked in youth. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated associations between ozone, particulate matter, and depressive symptoms in adolescents across 224 Colorado census tracts (average age of 14.
