Electronic health records (EHRs) can produce significant disruption when first implemented. Successful implementations depend on the availability of technical and clinical support. We present a description of the frequency and types of issues raised during the first 12 months after the implementation of an EHR at a teaching hospital in Santiago, Chile.

Background: Environmental exposures such as airborne pollutant exposures and socio-economic indicators are increasingly recognized as important to consider when conducting clinical research using electronic health record (EHR) data or other sources of clinical data such as survey data. While numerous public sources of geospatial and spatiotemporal data are available to support such research, the data are challenging to work with due to inconsistencies in file formats and spatiotemporal resolutions, computational challenges with large file sizes, and a lack of tools for patient- or subject-level data integration.
Results: We developed FHIR PIT (HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources Patient data Integration Tool) as an open-source, modular, data-integration software pipeline that consumes EHR data in FHIR® format and integrates the data at the level of the patient or subject with environmental exposures data of varying spatiotemporal resolutions and file formats.
Epidemiology of ophthalmia neonatorum: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Pediatr
January 2025
Biomedical and Clinical Research Centre, College of Health and Allied Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana.
Purpose: To elucidate the global epidemiology of Ophthalmia Neonatorum (ON), as well as its causative organisms and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns.
Methods: A systematic review of studies reporting the epidemiology of ON was performed using four electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Medline. Data were extracted and study-specific estimates were combined using meta-analysis to obtain pooled proportions.
A study to identify individuals at risk to be affected by late-onset Pompe disease who had previously been given a non-specific or tentative diagnosis for their muscle weakness (Pompe PURSUE).
Orphanet J Rare Dis

Department of Human Genetics, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Background: Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that results in severe progressive proximal muscle weakness. Over time, reductions in muscle strength result in respiratory failure and a loss of ambulation. Delayed diagnosis of LOPD deprives patients of treatments that can enhance quality of life and potentially slow disease progression.
