Background: The burden of migraine in Mexican Emergency Department (ED) settings remains understudied. This study aimed to determine the frequency of migraine-related ED visits within the ED Mexican Ministry of Health's (MMoH) database and analyze their demographics and treatment patterns.
Research Design And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed MMoH database of ED visits between 2013 and 2022. Visits with migraine diagnosis were selected using ICD-10 codes. Demographic characteristics, geographical location, and time of consultation were described, medication use patterns were analyzed.
Results: Between 2013 and 2022, there were 1,022,450 reported ED visits related to primary headache (0.6% of all ED visits), there were 179,618 migraine-related ED visits (19% of all headache visits). Females represented 78% of visits. Visits peaked in 2014 (20,066) and were the lowest in 2019 (8,273). Medication was used in 21% of visits, NSAIDs being the most frequent (15%). Triptan use was low (0.04% of all migraine visits).
Conclusion: Our results highlight the significant burden of migraines on Mexico's healthcare system and the importance of considering age and sex in the approach to migraine ED visits. An update in therapeutic strategies for migraine in Mexico is needed to improve patient outcomes.

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: Screening for cognitive impairment in primary care is important, yet primary care physicians (PCPs) report conducting routine cognitive assessments for less than half of patients older than 60 years of age. Linus Health's Core Cognitive Evaluation (CCE), a tablet-based digital cognitive assessment, has been used for the detection of cognitive impairment, but its application in primary care is not yet studied.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the integration of CCE implementation in a primary care setting.

Background: Infection is a leading cause of death after pediatric heart transplants (PHTs). Understanding of common pathogens is needed to guide testing strategies and empiric antibiotic use.
Methods: We conducted a 3-center retrospective study of PHT recipients ≤18 years old presenting to cardiology clinics or emergency departments (EDs) from 2010 to 2018 for evaluation of suspected infections within 2 years of transplant.

Department of Disease Control, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London.
Background: Hospital studies suggest that scrub typhus is a leading cause of severe undifferentiated fever in regions across Asia where the disease is endemic, but the population-based incidence of infection and illness has been little studied.
Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study to assess epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of scrub typhus in 37 villages in Tamil Nadu, India, where the disease is highly endemic. Study participants were visited every 6 to 8 weeks over a period of 2 years; a venous blood sample was obtained from those who had had fever since the last visit.
