Trends in primary, booster, and updated COVID-19 vaccine readiness in the United States, January 2021–April 2023: Implications for 2023–2024 updated COVID-19 vaccines Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-05 Timothy O. Ihongbe, Jae-Eun C. Kim, Heather Dahlen, Elissa C. Kranzler, Kate Seserman, Kenneth Moffett, Leah Hoffman
COVID-19 vaccines have mitigated the severity of COVID-19 and its sequelae. The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and waning immunity conferred by COVID-19 vaccination have necessitated booster and updated COVID-19 vaccines. This study examined trends in vaccine readiness—a composite measure of intention and uptake—for the primary, booster, and 2022–2023 updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines among

Lifestyle factors, genetic susceptibility to obesity and their interactions on coronary artery disease risk: A cohort study in the UK Biobank Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Jungyoon Choi, Wanqing Wen, Guochong Jia, Ran Tao, Jirong Long, Xiao-Ou Shu, Wei Zheng
We aimed to evaluate potential modifying effects of genetic susceptibility to obesity on the association of lifestyle factors with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. A total of 328,606 participants (54% women) were included using data from the UK Biobank. We evaluated the risk of developing CAD associated with obesity-related polygenic scores (PGSs) and healthy lifestyle scores (HLSs). HLSs were constructed

Impact of a pharmaceutical algorithm on patients with upper-gastrointestinal symptoms: A pre-post intervention study Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 María Puig-Moltó, Blanca Lumbreras, Juan Manuel Mendive, Elsa López-Pintor
To evaluate the algorithm impact on the upper gastrointestinal patients' symptoms (PROMs) and satisfaction with pharmaceutical care received (PREMs). The algorithm was previously developed by clinicians and pharmacists, through a pre-post intervention study in Spain (June–October 2022). We included 1221 patients who were seeking advice and/or medication for symptoms at 134 community pharmacies. Patients'

Sleep duration, its change, and risk of dementia among Japanese: The Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Jun Miyata, Isao Muraki, Hiroyasu Iso, Kazumasa Yamagishi, Nobufumi Yasuda, Norie Sawada, Manami Inoue, Shoichiro Tsugane
Previous findings on the association between sleep duration, changes in sleep duration, and long-term dementia risk were mixed. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between midlife sleep duration, its change, and dementia. We recruited 41,731 Japanese (40–71 years) and documented their habitual sleep duration at baseline (1990–1994) and a 5-year follow-up survey. Changes in sleep duration

Squamocolumnar junction visibility, age, and implications for cervical cancer screening programs Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-28 Kanan T. Desai, Natasha Hansen, Ana-Cecilia Rodriguez, Brian Befano, Didem Egemen, Julia C. Gage, Nicolas Wentzensen, Catya Lopez, Jose Jeronimo, Silvia de Sanjose, Mark Schiffman
Visual assessment is currently used for primary screening or triage of screen-positive individuals in cervical cancer screening programs. Most guidelines recommend screening and triage up to at least age 65 years old. We examined cervical images from participants in three National Cancer Institute funded cervical cancer screening studies: ALTS (2864 participants recruited between 1996 to 1998) in the

Severe maternal morbidity in deaf or hard of hearing women in the United States Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-01 Monika Mitra, Ilhom Akobirshoev, Anne Valentine, Kimberly McKee, Michael M. McKee
Prior studies on severe maternal morbidity (SMM) have often excluded women who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), even though they are at increased risk of pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes. This study compared rates of SMM during delivery and postpartum among DHH and non-DHH women. This nationally representative retrospective cohort study used hospital discharge data from the 2004–2020

Establishing multifactorial risk factors for adult-onset hearing loss: A systematic review with topic modelling and synthesis of epidemiological evidence Prev. Med. (IF 5.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-29 Yvonne Tran, Diana Tang, Charles Lo, Oonagh Macken, John Newall, Mia Bierbaum, Bamini Gopinath
Background This systematic review explores the multifaceted nature of risk factors contributing to adult-onset HL. The objective was to synthesise the most recent epidemiological evidence to generate pooled proportional incidences for the identified risk factors. Methods We conducted an extensive search of electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and psychINFO) for studies providing epidemiological evidence
