The COVID-19 pandemic has urged the need to set up, conduct and analyze high-quality epidemiological studies within a very short time-scale to provide timely evidence on influential factors on the pandemic, e.g. COVID-19 severity and disease course. The comprehensive research infrastructure developed to run the German National Pandemic Cohort Network within the Network University Medicine is now maintained within a generic clinical epidemiology and study platform NUKLEUS. It is operated and subsequently extended to allow efficient joint planning, execution and evaluation of clinical and clinical-epidemiological studies. We aim to provide high-quality biomedical data and biospecimens and make its results widely available to the scientific community by implementing findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability - i.e. following the FAIR guiding principles. Thus, NUKLEUS might serve as role model for FAIR and fast implementation of clinical epidemiological studies within the setting of University Medical Centers and beyond.

Background: The World Health Organization introduced intrinsic capacity (IC) as a metric for healthy aging. However, we found no report on the association between IC and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We investigated the association between IC and incident T2DM in older Chinese from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study.

Objective: Present study explored the influence of self-reported health on diff between observable and unobservable health factors.
Method: Data obtained through the 2017-2020 pre-pandemic dataset of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A series of analyses of covariance were conducted with self-reported health as the independent variable, and measures of blood pressure, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting glucose and total cholesterol as dependent variables.
Analysis of self-monitoring of blood glucose metrics in gestational diabetes mellitus and their association with infants born large for gestational age: A historical observational cohort study of 879 pregnancies.

Article Synopsis
- Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is crucial for managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and this study analyzes its correlation with fetal overgrowth, particularly in infants classified as large for gestational age (LGA).
- Conducted in Sweden with a sample of 879 GDM pregnancies, the study measured glucose levels and established treatment goals, while also considering various maternal factors influencing LGA outcomes.
- Results indicated that higher average glucose levels and fewer readings within target ranges significantly predicted LGA, with mean fasting glucose showing the strongest link and specific thresholds for predicting LGA outlined.
Enhancing exam question quality in medical education through bootstrapping.

Medical schools are required to assess and evaluate their curricula and to develop exam questions with strong reliability and validity evidence, often based on data derived from statistically small samples of medical students. Achieving a large enough sample to reliably and validly evaluate courses, assessments, and exam questions would require extensive data collection over many years, which is inefficient, especially in the fast-changing educational environment of medical schools. This article demonstrates how advanced quantitative methods, such as bootstrapping, can provide reliable data by resampling a single dataset to create many simulated samples.
