New Data on Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths by Cause and Race and Ethnicity: 2015-2022.

Shapiro-Mendoza, Carrie K. ;

Cottengim, Carri R.

July 1, 2025 | Pediatrics, 2025, v. 156, no. 1

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) are poorly understood. Monitoring SUID trends may identify opportunities to reduce infant deaths. An analysis of US SUID trends between 2015 and 2020 showed the SUID rate increased in 2020 among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) infants but not among other racial and ethnic infa ...

Foods observed on campus or reported in the dietary recall were aggregated, a composite Adolescent Dietary Diversity Score (ADDS) was derived, and the proportion achieving minimum dietary diversity was estimated. Multi-level regression models were used to assess associations between a ranked school food environment score (FES) and nutrition outcomes.ResultsThe number of food groups served or available for purchase was 6.2 in JHS and 8.1 in SHS ( AB - -value < .0001). The mean (95% CI) FES was 10.9 (10.1-11.7) at JHS and 14.3 (13.6-14.9) at SHS. ADDS ranged from 4.1 to 4.8 across strata. Higher FES was positively associated with ADDS and minimum dietary diversity among SHS students and negatively associated with anemia in girls and boys. Girls from high FES schools had 24% lower odds of anemia (OR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.63-0.93) while boys had 46% lower odds (OR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.34-0.84) compared to students in low FES schools.ConclusionsHigher FES was associated with greater dietary diversity among SHS students and lower odds of anemia in girls and boys, suggesting that the school food environment may play a role in determining nutrition outcomes.

Between the 2018-19 and 2021-22 school years, 77 Michigan public schools (2.7%) expelled students for firearm possession. In unadjusted models, higher rates of on-track attendance (i.e., the proportion of students who attend ≥90% of school days) were associated with lower odds of the school having an expulsion for student firearm possession (OR=0.96; 95% CI=0.95, 0.97). This association remained after adjusting for student body demographics, school building characteristics, and school rates of student interpersonal violence and discipline (aOR=0.97; 95% CI=0.95, 0.98). Efforts to improve school-wide attendance may offer a primary and universal prevention avenue against student firearm possession.

Given that populations with high burden of HIV may be more likely to experience poor mental health outcomes, it is important to validate measures used to assess SMI among these groups. Using data from CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) system in the United States, we examined psychometric characteristics of the K6 scale, including exploratory factor analysis, scale reliability, construct validity, and review of interviewer feedback to explore scale performance in the field. Analyses confirmed a single factor structure and demonstrated that the K6 scale had high internal consistency and construct validity. Although interviewers noted that the effort item was difficult for some participants to understand, psychometric properties were not greatly improved with the deletion of the item. The results of this analysis suggest that the K6 scale is appropriate for use among NHBS populations with a high burden of HIV, including persons who inject drugs, heterosexually active adults at increased risk for HIV infection, women who exchange sex for money or drugs, and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.

AU - LaRocque, Regina C. AU - Hyle, Emily P. AB - Pre-travel health interventions can reduce the acquisition of communicable diseases and decrease the risk of transmission during or after international travel. We sought to inform policy and research priorities with a scoping literature review of studies that assess the cost-effectiveness of pre-travel interventions. AB - We assessed 44 economic evaluation studies published from 1946-2023, regarding pre-travel prevention of hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, malaria, rabies, travellers' diarrhoea, cholera, polio, typhoid fever, measles, and Japanese encephalitis. AB - Published studies demonstrate that hepatitis A vaccination, malaria chemoprophylaxis and typhoid vaccination for people travelling to highly endemic settings are likely to be cost-effective, as is measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. The cost-effectiveness of other pre-travel interventions is more sensitive to travel frequency and duration, endemicity at the travel destination, travel purpose (e.g. business, leisure, visiting friends and relatives), risk perceptions (e.g. adherence to care plan, choosing to vaccinate), and costs. AB - Cost-effectiveness analyses of pre-travel interventions can inform the value of such interventions, but such analyses depend on the availability of high-quality data regarding clinical outcomes and costs. We propose that international, collaborative networks should collect data and leverage novel technologies to expand the evidence base regarding the risks of exposure, clinical outcomes, risk perception, and costs associated with pre-travel interventions. This evidence base can inform recommendations for specific groups of travellers and the formulation of population-specific health policies.

AB - World Trade Center (WTC) responders who were more severely exposed to the airborne pollution while working in rescue and recovery work would have heightened circulating levels of β-Amyloid (Aβ) levels in plasma. Plasma for 905 WTC responders was retrieved in 2019 and flash frozen and assayed using single molecule analysis to measure circulating levels of two subtypes of Aβ (Aβ40, Aβ42), alongside phosphorylated tau-181, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament-light. Plasma data were linked to demographics, blood volume, apolipoprotein-ε4 status, and medical outcomes as well as, in a subsample, with neuroimaging-based measures of cortical thickness. Amyloidogenesis was measured using the ratio of observed/expected levels of Aβ40 and labeled Normalized Aβ40. Spearman's rho was used to examine correlations; generalized linear modeling was used to examine multivariable-adjusted associations. The average age of WTC responders was 55.98 years, and 73.9% had completed at least some college. Observed Aβ40 levels were 24.61% higher than expected values, and lower in minimally exposed WTC responders as compared to severely exposed WTC responders (17.26 vs 44.48%, P = .005). Results remained statistically significant upon adjusting for covariates (adjusted blood volume ratio = 1.11 [1.02-1.22] P = .019). Normalized Aβ40 levels were associated with higher measures of phosphorylated tau-181, Aβ42, GFAP, and neurofilament-light in serology as well as, in a subsample (n = 70), with reduced cortical thickness (rho = -0.29, P = .020). Increased amyloidogenesis may be a neuropathological response in people who are severely or chronically exposed to airborne neurotoxic pollutants.

We used a multimodal approach and purposively sampled 21 participating population-based cancer registries in the United States to ensure variation across several registries. The registries reported prospective staffing data and retrospective costing data, completing data collection from October 2021 to September 2022, reporting retrospective costing data for July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. From lessons learned from prior studies, we engaged participating registries early and throughout the study, ensuring the collection of meaningful, accurate quantitative data, as well as insights not captured quantitatively. Case volume is a major driver of registry costs. (On average, high-volume registries outspend low-volume registries by nearly 3x, annually). Upon examination of registry activities by case volume, we found that the two most resource-intensive registry activities are data acquisition and data processing, which may be addressed by innovations, such as electronic reporting and automation. Innovative data transfer and processing approaches could increase timeliness of data collection and reduce the labor resources required to process manually collected data. Registries adopting these innovations might achieve cost savings, which could make resources available to support other registry activities.

Wastewater effluent samples were collected from an SNF over an 8-week period. Wastewater was concentrated using electronegative membrane filtration (enMF), polyethylene glycol precipitation, and Nanotrap AB - magnetic virus particles (NP). Quantification of the genome copy concentration from SARS-CoV-2 and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), a SARS-CoV-2 surrogate spiked into all samples, was performed with droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). Wastewater sample aliquots were also enriched in microbiological culture media and screened for organisms with AR phenotypes on selective and differential agars. Multiplex real-time PCR was used to detect a broad array of carbapenem resistance genes. SARS-CoV-2 was detected and quantified from a single enMF-concentrated wastewater sample. The highest concentration of BRSV came from enMF-concentrated samples. AB - , AB - , AB - , and AB - exhibiting AR phenotypes were successfully detected using culture-dependent approaches. Culture-independent, multiplex PCR indicated that bla AB - was the main carbapenemase gene detected in wastewater samples. Facility-level wastewater surveillance could be a useful strategy for SNFs.

Presumptive antimicrobial therapy is recommended for sexual contacts, but concerns have been raised about unnecessary antibiotic use. AB - We reviewed visits of patients who reported sexual contact to a partner with CT or NG ("contacts") from January 2021 to October 2023 in 10 STI clinics. We calculated CT and NG positivity, stratified by 3 patient groups (women, men who have sex with men, and men who have sex with women only [MSW]) and symptomatic status. AB - Overall, 11,072 (6.8%) CT and/or NG contacts were identified (7660 [4.7%] CT contacts and 4988 [3.1%] NG contacts). Chlamydia positivity among CT contacts was 35%; NG positivity among NG contacts was 31%. Chlamydia positivity did not differ by symptomatic status across patient groups. Gonorrhea positivity was higher for symptomatic versus asymptomatic men who have sex with men (34% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 31%-37%] vs. 28% [95% CI, 26%-30%]) and MSW (37% [95% CI, 33%-41%] vs. 23% [95% CI, 20%-27%]), but not in women (38% [95% CI, 33%-43%] vs. 37% [95% CI, 32%-42%]). AB - Substantial CT/NG positivity among sexual contacts to CT or NG was observed. Among CT contacts, CT infection was most often detected in MSW; among NG contacts, NG infection was most often detected in women. However, ~60% did not have either CT or NG.

AB - In this study the temperature dependent decay rate of gas-phase peracetic acid (PAA) concentrations in polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) sample bags was measured. Headspace from a PAA solution was used to dynamically generate atmospheres of gas-phase PAA which were transferred to PVF bags. The concentration of gas-phase PAA in PVF bags, in a temperature-controlled environment, was measured AB - time using both selected ion flow-tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) and impinger based colorimetric measurements. A review of PAA decomposition reactions, kinetics, and results of SIFT-MS measure of PAA and acetic acid are discussed. Gas-phase PAA concentrations in the PVF bags exhibited exponential decay consistent with first-order kinetics. The temperature dependent decay rate of gas-phase PAA concentration in PVF sample bags had half-lives that ranged from 19 h (at 30 °C) to 45 h (at 10 °C). From the Arrhenius equation, an activation energy of 34.2 ± 1.1 kJ mol AB - (8.2 ± 0.3 kcal mol AB - ) was calculated from the temperature dependence of the decay constant. In this work, the half-lives of gas-phase PAA concentrations measured in PVF were considerably longer than other studies of PAA in containers.

AB - Understanding parental reasons for not having their child receive an influenza vaccination and how reasons have changed over time can help immunization programs and providers tailor interventions to increase uptake of influenza vaccine among children. The objectives of this study were to estimate the percentage of children 6 months-17 years with a parent who reported selected reasons for non-receipt of influenza vaccination (or "non-vaccination") during 2015-2024, assess whether there has been an increase or decrease in the reporting of each reason for non-vaccination, particularly pre versus post COVID-19 pandemic, and if reasons for non-vaccination differ by sociodemographic characteristics. AB - National Immunization Survey-Flu (NIS-Flu) parentally reported data for the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2019-20, 2022-23, and 2023-24 seasons were analyzed. Percentages of children not vaccinated against influenza whose parent reported each reason for non-vaccination, overall, by state, and by sociodemographic characteristics were calculated. Tests of association between sociodemographic characteristics and across seasons were conducted for each reason for non-vaccination using t-tests. AB - The most commonly reported reasons for non-receipt of influenza vaccination across all seasons studied were: belief their child is unlikely to get very sick from influenza, concern about side effects/safety, and belief influenza vaccines do not work very well (48.2 %, 43.3 %, and 37.0 %, respectively, in 2023-24). Parental reporting of thinking their child is unlikely to get very sick from influenza increased more than other reasons for non-vaccination since the COVID-19 pandemic. Across all seasons studied, very few reported access-related reasons. Reasons for non-vaccination varied by state and by demographic characteristics. AB - This study suggests that concern about influenza has decreased since the COVID-19 pandemic. A strong provider recommendation for influenza vaccination, including information about the safety of the vaccine and seriousness of influenza, could help increase influenza vaccination coverage among children.

AB - Oestrogen plus progestin hormone therapy is an established risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. We examined the less well-studied association between exogenous hormones and breast cancer in young women, who might use hormone therapy after gynaecological surgery or to relieve perimenopausal symptoms. AB - In this pooled cohort analysis, we investigated the relationship between exogenous hormones and breast cancer in young women using data from 10-13 prospective cohorts from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The participating cohorts followed up women for incident breast cancer until age 55 years. We used cohort-stratified, multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CI for associations of hormone therapy with incident young-onset breast cancer. We also estimated risk differences based on cumulative risk until age 55 years. AB - We included 459 476 women aged 16-54 years (mean 42·0 years [IQR 35·5-49·2]), of whom 8455 (2%) developed young-onset breast cancer (diagnosed before age 55 years; median follow-up 7·8 years [5·2-11·2]). Overall, 15% of participants reported using hormone therapy, with oestrogen plus progestin hormone therapy (6%) and unopposed oestrogen (5%) being the most common types. Cumulative risk of young-onset breast cancer was 4·1% in non-users. Hormone therapy of any type was not associated with incident young-onset breast cancer (HR 0·96 [95% CI 0·88 to 1·04]), but ever oestrogen hormone therapy use was inversely associated (0·86 [0·75 to 0·98]; risk difference -0·5% [-1·0 to -0·0]). The HR for ever oestrogen plus progestin hormone therapy and young-onset breast cancer was 1·10 (0·98 to 1·24), with positive associations observed for long-term use (1·18 [1·01 to 1·38] for >2 years) and use among women without hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy (1·15 [1·02 to 1·31]). Oestrogen hormone therapy and young-onset breast cancer association was similar for all breast cancer subtypes, but oestrogen plus progestin hormone therapy was more strongly associated with oestrogen receptor negative (1·44 [1·11 to 1·88]) and triple-negative disease (1·50 [1·02 to 2·20]) than with other subtypes. AB - Oestrogen hormone therapy use was inversely associated with young-onset breast cancer, and oestrogen plus progestin hormone therapy was associated with higher young-onset breast cancer incidence among women with intact uterus and ovaries. These findings largely parallel results from studies of hormone use and later-onset breast cancer and provide novel evidence for establishing clinical recommendations among younger women.

AB - Medical providers may order CD4 tests for people with HIV (PWH) without providing HIV care. We hypothesized that including CD4 tests as a proxy for HIV medical visits misclassifies PWH on linkage to, receipt of, and retention in care. AB - We used 2021 HIV surveillance data from New York City for analysis and compared 2 proxies for HIV medical visits-one included the presence of either CD4 or viral load tests and the other included viral load tests-to measure linkage to care among people newly diagnosed with HIV and receipt of and retention in care among PWH. AB - In New York City in 2021, 1146 of 1399 people newly diagnosed with HIV (81.9 %) had timely linkage to care when either CD4 or viral load tests were used as proxies; 1118 of 1399 (79.9 %) people newly diagnosed with HIV had timely linkage to care when only viral load tests were used. A total of 69 982 of 76 338 PWH (91.7 %) were classified as having received HIV care in New York City in 2021 when either CD4 or viral load tests were used; 69 088 of 76 388 PWH (90.5 %) were classified as having received HIV care when only viral load tests were used.

As Work from Home (WFH) modalities become more widely utilized, employers and workers alike face new benefits and challenges. The key aim of this report is to better understand the impact of WFH on the well-being of workers and identify potential risks of the WFH environment for this population subset. Using the NIOSH Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (WellBQ) tool, we quantified worker's well-being across five categories defined by the tool. Scores from individual items within these categories were then evaluated across different demographic factors (age, gender, education level, income, and WFH level) to better understand the implications of the WFH modality for the diverse WFH workforce. Evaluating well-being against the demographic scores may shed light on groups that need additional support, resources and tools to perform their work and remain in good health.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants, many of which exhibit lowclearance rates. The long-chain PFAS (≥6 perfluorinated carbons), due to low clearance rates, are often perceived to exert a higher toll on human health than short-chain PFAS. However, a comprehensive toxicological and epidemiological co ...

Export RIS Citation Information. TY - Journal Article AU - Prussia, Andrew J. AU - Demchuk, Eugene AB - Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants, many of which exhibit low AB - clearance rates. The long-chain PFAS (≥6 perfluorinated carbons), due to low clearance rates, are often perceived to exert a higher toll on human health than short-chain PFAS. However, a comprehensive toxicological and epidemiological comparison of long- and short-chain PFAS is overdue, leaving significant data gaps and limitations. For the first time, this study investigated the quantitative relationship between overall PFAS fluorine structure (C-F bond), which includes the alkyl chain length as one component, and PFAS doses that trigger changes in rat blood-based clinical markers. Fifteen markers published by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) after 28-day exposure to 7 PFAS with both long- and short-chain perfluorinated alkyl structures were examined. The aim of this study was to (1) determine PFAS doses that trigger changes in the marker levels for hepatic, renal, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems and (2) use these doses in multiple linear regression models to examine relationship to variables describing PFAS chemical structures. Our findings showed a log-linear dependence of alterations in marker levels on PFAS fluorine structure, as measured in the number of alkyl carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds. Each C-F bond affected the marker effect levels by 0.45 ± 0.01 mmol/kg-day. The variety of studied clinical markers suggests that PFAS exposures led to deviations in multiple biological pathways in the rat animal model, which may inform future research and regulatory decisions.
