Exploring the potential of introducing an electronic death registration system in South Africa.
Health Res Policy Syst
December 2024
South African Medical Research Council, Cape Town, South Africa.
Background: Despite South Africa's well-established Civil Registration and Vital Statistics system (CRVS) and good completeness of death registration, challenges persist in terms of the quality of cause of death information and the delayed availability of mortality statistics. The introduction of an electronic medical certification of cause of death (eMCCD) system may offer opportunities to improve both the quality and timeliness of this information.
Methods: This study used an exploratory mixed methods design to investigate perceptions surrounding an electronic solution for registering deaths in South Africa.
Defining cause of death in a contemporary cohort with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV): A comparison of electronic health record and death certificate data.
Semin Arthritis Rheum
December 2024
Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology, Massachusetts General Hospital, 55 Fruit St, Yawkey 4B, Boston, MA, USA.
Objectives: Patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) face excess mortality compared with the general population. Mortality in clinical epidemiology research is often examined using death certificate diagnosis codes; however, the sensitivity of such codes in AAV is unknown.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the Mass General Brigham AAV Cohort, including patients with AAV who died between 2002 and 2019.
Trends in the survival of very preterm infants between 2011 and 2020 in France.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed
December 2024
Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics Obstetrical Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology Research Team, Paris, Île-de-France, France.
Objective: The objective is to evaluate changes in survival to discharge of liveborn infants less than 32 weeks' gestational age (GA) in France, where the latest available data on very preterm survival at a national-level are from the EPIPAGE-2 cohort in 2011.
Design: Population-based cohort study.
Setting: Metropolitan France in 2011, 2015 and 2020.
Individual-, Hospital-, And Community-Level Factors Associated With Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Among Infants Born Preterm in 5 US States.
J Pediatr
December 2024
Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
Objective: To investigate individual-, hospital-, and community-level factors associated with sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) among infants born preterm.
Study Design: The following linked dataset from 5 states (California, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) from 2005 through 2020 was used: 1) infant birth and death certificates; 2) maternal and infant birth hospitalization discharge records; 3) birthing hospital data from the American Hospital Association; and 4) community-level data from the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI).) Multivariable models were used to assess the independent association between these multi-level factors and SUID, adjusting for several maternal and infant characteristics.
Association between BMI and cause-specific long-term mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients.
Am J Prev Cardiol
March 2025
Epidemiology, Medical Faculty, University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany.
Aims: To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) at acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and all-cause as well as cause-specific long-term mortality.
Methods: The analysis was based on 10,651 hospitalized AMI patients (age 25-84 years) recorded by the population-based Myocardial Infarction Registry Augsburg between 2000 and 2017. The median follow-up time was 6.
