Introduction: Clinical preventive services, such as screening tests, vaccinations, behavioral counseling, or preventive medication, are offered to most people on the basis of age, sex, health behaviors, or clinical risk factors, with goals of detecting early disease, preventing future disease, or mitigating the impact of unhealthy behaviors on future health. However, many people do not receive all the recommended services for which they are eligible.
Methods: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality identified 4 topics for gathering stakeholder input on evidence and implementation for the equitable delivery of clinical preventive services. These included technology, innovative delivery models, public health linkages, and disparities. For each topic, the authors conducted an environmental scan to identify existing programs or interventions to promote the delivery of clinical preventive services, a technical expert panel meeting, and key informant interviews. The authors synthesized input from each topic's technical expert panel and key informant interviews and used inductive reasoning to identify themes. Within each overarching theme, the authors identified subthemes supported by specific statements, examples, and illustrative quotes.
Results: A total of 90 individuals participated on stakeholder panels, technical expert panels, or key informant interviews; some individuals participated in multiple roles. Across the topics, the authors identified 3 overarching themes from synthesis of the technical expert panel and key informant interview comments across topics: (1) transitioning to holistic healthcare delivery and financing models, (2) including community and patient voice in healthcare system design, and (3) leveraging technology to improve clinical preventive services delivery.
Conclusions: Promoting the equitable delivery of clinical preventive services requires improving access to primary care but also expanding efforts beyond clinical settings to encompass public health and community infrastructure and engagement. Experts recommended that person-centered preventive care should empower patients to make informed decisions about clinical preventive services on the basis of their values, risks, and preferences. This more individualized approach tailored to needs and context may reduce barriers to receipt of clinical preventive services.

Herein, a novel and simple electrospray (ES) printing technique was developed for the fabrication of ultrathin graphene layers with precisely controlled nanometer-scale thickness, where graphene oxide (GO) was electrosprayed on wafers and subsequently chemically reduced into reduced GO (rGO). Utilizing that technique, we prepared ultrathin rGO in-plane graphene field-effect transistor (GFET)-based biosensors coupled with a portable prototype measuring system for point-of-care detection of pathogens. We illustrate the use of such prepared GFETs to detect COVID-19, using the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen (N-protein) and genomic viral RNA as detection targets.

Background: Processing data from electronic health records (EHRs) to build research-grade databases is a lengthy and expensive process. Modern arthroplasty practice commonly uses multiple sites of care, including clinics and ambulatory care centers. However, most private data systems prevent obtaining usable insights for clinical practice.

Background: This study aims to analyze the patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and contemporary trends concerning type A aortic dissection (TAAD) in previous recipients of abdominal solid organ transplantation (ASOT) in the United States.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample was queried to identify all patients aged ≥18 with TAAD and a history of ASOT (TAAD-ASOT) between 2002 and 2015Q3 using ICD-9 diagnosis and procedure codes. Baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared between TAAD-ASOT patients and TAAD patients without a history of ASOT (TAAD-non-ASOT).

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the deadliest respiratory viruses. There is a need to better identify prognostic factors in RSV-infected patients, particularly those requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, with a focus on immunosuppressed patients.
Methods: Multicenter, retrospective cohort study of RSV-infected adults hospitalized in 17 ICUs in the Great Paris area between 08/01/2017 and 05/01/2023.
