Article Synopsis
- Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S., usually causing a rash and potentially leading to severe complications if untreated, especially in pregnant women.
- A study analyzed Lyme disease cases from 1992-2019, focusing on the frequency and characteristics of cases in pregnant women versus non-pregnant women, revealing that only 0.6% of cases were pregnant individuals.
- Results indicated that pregnant women typically had earlier symptoms and a higher rate of localized rash compared to non-pregnant women, possibly due to better detection or reporting of the disease during pregnancy, highlighting the need for timely treatment.

Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH; UC Health Air Care & Mobile Care, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Objective: Interhospital transfer by air (IHTA) represents the majority of helicopter air ambulance transports in the United States, but the evaluation of what factors are associated with utilization has been limited. We aimed to assess the association of geographic distance and hospital characteristics (including patient volume) with the use of IHTA.
Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective study of helicopter flight request data from 2018 provided by a convenience sample of 4 critical care transport medicine programs in 3 US census regions.
