AU - Uba, Nneoma AU - Rattay, Karyl T. AB - Our study assessed child-serving health care providers' attitudes and knowledge related to identification and treatment of tic disorders including Tourette syndrome (TS), among children. AB - We analyzed cross-sectional data from the 2022 Fall DocStyles, a web-based survey of health care providers. The analytic sample included 1058 child-serving providers (403 family practitioners, 232 internists, 251 pediatricians, and 172 nurse practitioners or physician assistants). We calculated point prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals and used χ 2 tests to statistically test differences by provider type and metro status of practice setting. AB - Less than two-thirds of providers (62.4%) considered evaluation of tics as their role, less than half (40.8%) considered diagnosis of tic disorders their role, and around one-fourth considered treatment of patients with tic disorders to be their role (27.3%). Lack of knowledge of tics/TS and lack of comfort evaluating patients for tics and tic disorders were the most often reported barriers to identification and diagnosis for most provider types, and across practice metro status categories. Online training was the most preferred source of information about tics and tic disorders overall and for each provider type. AB - These findings support previous reports indicating challenges in health care provider comfort and knowledge in identifying and diagnosing tic disorders, and the need for more education opportunities around evaluation and diagnosis. Communication and training to support the needs of child-serving providers could improve the access to care for children with tics and tic disorders.

AU - Lund, Jennifer L. AB - Frailty is an important prognostic indicator in older women with breast cancer. The Faurot frailty index, a validated claims-based frailty proxy measure, uses healthcare billing codes during a user-specified ascertainment window to predict frailty. We assessed how the duration of frailty ascertainment affected the ability of the Faurot frailty index to predict one-year mortality in women with stage I-II breast cancer. AB - We included 128 857 women (66+ years) with stage I-III breast cancer in the SEER-Medicare database (2003-2019). The Faurot frailty index was calculated using 3-, 6-, 8-, and 12-month ascertainment windows prior to diagnosis or using all-available lookback. Associations between the Faurot frailty index using each window and one-year all-cause mortality were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Discrimination of one-year mortality risk was assessed using C-statistics. AB - Five percent of women died during the year following diagnosis. Higher Faurot scores were associated with increased mortality risk for all frailty ascertainment windows. Differences in one-year mortality risk for women with high vs. low Faurot frailty scores were reduced when using all-available lookback (16% vs. 2%, difference = 15%, 95% CI 0.14-0.15) compared to shorter windows (e.g., 8 months: 25% vs. 2%, difference = 23%, 95% CI 0.22-0.24). C-statistics ranged from 0.758 (all-available lookback) to 0.770 (12 months) and were robust in subgroups defined by age, race, ethnicity, region, stage, and cancer subtype. AB - The Faurot frailty index performed well across 3- to 12-month frailty ascertainment windows in women with breast cancer. Researchers should employ this index to address confounding by frailty in studies of cancer populations.

We inventoried laws in the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the United States of America (USA) focused on addressing IPV committed in the presence of children, as these laws could help prevent or remediate this critical health and social issue. Using WestLaw, a web-based legal research service, we identified over 1,200 statutes and 500 regulations. We documented the laws' key attributes and heterogeneities and coded 557 laws from 31 states. We determined that the most commonly prescribed penalty was stricter sentencing, followed by mandates to pay for counseling for any child witnesses, separate additional criminal charges, mandated receipt of counseling or intervention services, and a period of supervised parenting. Future research could assess the possible impacts of these laws on children's short- and long-term wellbeing.

AU - Tripathi, Micky AB - Health information technology, such as electronic health records (EHRs), has been widely adopted, yet accessing and exchanging data in the fragmented US health care system remains challenging. To unlock the potential of EHR data to improve patient health, public health, and health care, it is essential to streamline the exchange of health data. As leaders across the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), we describe how DHHS has implemented fundamental building blocks to achieve this vision. AB - Across DHHS, we have implemented 3 foundational building blocks called for by the 2016 21st Century Cures Act to create a unified approach for secure, high-quality, and timely exchange of health data across the health care system. The United States Core Data for Interoperability provides a minimum baseline for data elements that must be available in federally regulated health information technology systems such as certified EHRs. These data elements now must be accessible using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources-a secure, flexible, and open-industry standard for health data exchange. The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement provides a network to securely exchange health data across the country. The 3 building blocks of United States Core Data for Interoperability, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, and Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement are now in place thanks to diligent public and private sector work over 2 administrations. Across DHHS, we are working to refine these building blocks and increase their adoption through regulatory authorities, grants, and public-private partnerships. AB - The technological building blocks described in this article are creating a unified approach to health data exchange for patient access, clinical care, quality improvement, scientific research, public health, and other uses of health data. Collaborations between the public, nonprofit, and private sectors are needed to maximize their potential. By unlocking the potential of health data, these building blocks are the foundation of a 21st-century digital health care system that will improve the experience of patients and clinicians and result in better health outcomes.

While MRI-based measurements have demonstrated good reliability with interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of 0.80 or higher, many evaluations focus solely on the comparison of identical MRI images. This approach primarily reflects analyst dexterity and does not assess the reliability of the entire process, including imaging and image selection. AB - To evaluate the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the entire process of using MRI to measure biomechanically relevant lumbar spinal characteristics, incorporating imaging, image selection, and analysis. AB - A dataset of 144 low-back MRI scans was analyzed. Reliability assessments were performed under different conditions: (1) identical scans rated by the same analyst at different times (intra-rater reliability) and (2) distinct scans of the same subject obtained by different MRI operators and analyzed by different analysts (inter-rater reliability). Mean absolute differences in measurements were calculated, and sources of variability, such as breathing artifacts, were noted. AB - Larger discrepancies were observed when comparing distinct scans analyzed by different MRI operators and analysts. In the "worst-case" scenario, where both the MRI operator and analyst differed, a 4.05% mean absolute difference was noted for anterior endplate measurements. This was higher than the 2.76% difference observed when analysts re-rated their own scans after one month. Despite these discrepancies, the variability in measurements was relatively low and primarily attributed to factors like breathing artifacts. AB - The process of using MRI to derive biomechanical measures, particularly for bony structures, demonstrates robust reliability. Variability in measurements is minimal even under challenging conditions, supporting the use of MRI for biomechanical assessments.

AU - Anderson, Deverick J. AB - The natural history of Clostridioides difficile progression in nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) positive, toxin enzyme immunoassay-negative patients remains poorly described. Better understanding risk for subsequent disease may improve prevention strategies. We aimed to describe the natural history of C. difficile NAAT+/toxin- adults. AB - A cohort of adults (≥18 years) tested for C. difficile within the Duke University Health System between 15 March 2020 and 31 December 2023 were classified as NAAT-, NAAT+/toxin-, or NAAT+/toxin+ and followed up to 90 days. Three time-to-event analyses were conducted. Incidence of toxin+ episodes was assessed by initial test status (analysis 1). Treatment of NAAT+/toxin- adults was described using cumulative incidence curves (analysis 2). Rates of toxin+ episodes and severe disease were compared between treated and untreated NAAT+/toxin- adults (analysis 3). AB - The cohort included 24 474 tests and 440 toxin+ episodes among 18 337 unique subjects followed for a median 71 days. NAAT+/toxin- status was associated with subsequent toxin positivity (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 5.06 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 3.61-7.10]), especially after antibiotic receipt (aHR, 15.71 [95% CI, 9.85-25.06]). Among 2334 NAAT+/toxin- episodes, 33% received presumptive treatment. Just 5% of NAAT+/toxin- subjects progressed to toxin positivity. Presumptive treatment was associated with lower hazard of subsequent toxin positivity (aHR, 0.12 [95% CI, .05-.29]) but not fulminant disease (aHR, 1.93 [95% CI, .50-7.45]). AB - Clostridioides difficile NAAT+/toxin- status was associated with subsequent toxin positivity, especially after antibiotic receipt, though absolute risk was low overall. Further research is needed to determine whether and for whom presumptive treatment might be beneficial.

AU - Slifka, Kara Jacobs AB - Nursing home residents experience a large burden of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Data are limited regarding nursing home characteristics associated with differences in facility-level invasive MRSA rates. AB - We analyzed 2011-2015 data from CDC's Emerging Infections Program (EIP) active population- and laboratory-based surveillance for invasive MRSA cases within seven states. A nursing home-onset case was defined as MRSA cultured from a normally sterile site in a person living in a nursing home 3 days before culture collection. Facility rates were calculated as nursing home-onset cases per 100,000 resident-days. Nursing home resident-day denominators and facility characteristics were obtained from four Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) datasets. A general estimating equations model with a logit link assessed characteristics of the facilities with highest rates comprising 50% of nursing home MRSA cases ("high rates"). AB - The 626 nursing homes in the surveillance area had 2824 invasive MRSA cases; 82% of facilities had at ≥1 case. The 20% of facilities with highest rates (≥3.84 cases/100,000 resident-days) had 50% of nursing home-onset cases. In multivariable regression, facilities with high rates were more likely to have CMS-derived characteristics of presence of a resident with a multidrug-resistant organism; or greater proportions of residents who were male, were short stay (in the facility <100 days), had a nasogastric or percutaneous gastrostomy tube, or require extensive assistance with bed repositioning; and more likely to be in an EIP area with higher hospital-onset MRSA rates. Higher registered nurses staffing levels (hours/resident/day) and higher proportions of White residents were associated with lower rates. AB - Facilities with higher invasive MRSA rates served residents with more clinical and functional care needs. Increasing registered nurse staffing in high-risk facilities might assist with reduction of invasive MRSA rates. These findings could help prioritize nursing homes for future MRSA prevention work.

AB - Tooth dimensions typically scale with mandibular and postcranial size in primates, although the exact pattern of scaling varies. This study assesses whether correlations by tissue type, anatomical region, or function (mastication or intrasexual competition) are present and could therefore act as evolutionary constraints on tooth-jaw-body size relationships by estimating genetic and phenotypic correlations between dental, mandibular, and postcranial dimensions in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). AB - The teeth, mandibles, and postcrania of 362 adults from the Cayo Santiago skeletal collection were measured. Humeral and femoral articular surfaces were selected to represent skeletal elements frequently used to reconstruct primate body size. Genetic correlations were estimated in SOLAR. Random skewers analyses were used to compare genetic and phenotypic correlation matrices to each other and to test matrices. AB - The genetic correlation matrix was most similar to the test matrix of integration by tissue type (tooth and bone) (r = 0.765, p < 0.001), and nearly as similar to the anatomical region test matrix (r = 0.714, p < 0.001). Hierarchical clustering of the genetic correlation matrix showed similar separation by tissue type. Phenotypic correlation matrices were significantly similar to the genetic correlation matrix (r = 0.813-0.846, p < 0.001) and to most of the test matrices. AB - Postcanine dental traits were highly heritable but were not closely genetically correlated with mandibular or postcranial dimensions. These findings indicate that scaling relationships between tooth and bone may be maintained in some populations through nongenetic, environmental factors rather than genetic constraints.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the analysis of the data produced therein (ie, bioinformatics) represent an opportunity to enhance our capacity to address these threats. The 3rd Geneva Infection Prevention and Control Think Tank brought together experts to identify gaps, propose solutions, and set priorities for the use of NGS for HAIs and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. The major deliverable recommendation from this meeting was a proposed framework for implementing the sequencing of HAI pathogens, specifically those harbouring antimicrobial-resistance mechanisms. The key components of the proposed framework relate to wet laboratory quality, sequence data quality, database and tool selection, bioinformatic analyses, data sharing, and NGS data integration, to support public health and actions for infection prevention and control. In this Personal View we detail and discuss the framework in the context of global implementation, specifically in low-income and middle-income countries.

AU - Li, Yi AB - Although small airway disease (SAD) has been recognized as a major contributor to obstructive respiratory diseases, the association between occupational endotoxin exposure and SAD, as characterized by CT scans, requires further investigation. AB - What is the association between occupational endotoxin exposure and SAD, and which CT imaging biomarkers effectively detect preclinical airway dysfunction? AB - This study included 404 patients from the Shanghai Textile Workers Cohort. We collected longitudinal inspiratory/expiratory CT scans, spirometry data, and endotoxin levels in 2011 and 2016. We evaluated the marginal association among endotoxin, small airway measures, and spirometry by Pearson correlation coefficient. We applied linear mixed models and linear regression models to understand the adjusted association among endotoxin, small airway measures, and spirometry. AB - We found significant association between endotoxin and SAD and airflow obstruction, as quantified by small airway measures and spirometry, respectively. All small airway measures were marginally correlated with endotoxin, among which relative volume change in voxels with attenuation between -856 Hounsfield units (HU) and -950 HU (RVC AB - ) and residuals from the linear regression of Exp AB - on the percentage of voxels with attenuation less than -950 HU (Residual AB - ) showed the strongest positive correlations. Percent predicted FEV AB - (pp FEV AB - ) showed the strongest negative correlation with endotoxin. After adjusting for confounders, the expiratory-to-inspiratory ratio of mean lung attenuation (E/I MLA), RVC AB - , Residual AB - , FEV AB - , and pp FEV AB - yielded a significant association with endotoxin. Workers who were exposed to 1,500 to 2,300 EU/m AB - endotoxin showed a significantly higher RVC AB - by 0.071 (P = .006) and a 8.57% lower pp FEV AB - (P = .007) compared with workers exposed to less than 50 EU/m AB - endotoxin. AB - We found that occupational endotoxin exposure was significantly associated with SAD and lower FEV AB - . We identified Residual AB - and E/I MLA as the imaging biomarkers for early detection of small airway dysfunction in preclinical individuals (FEV AB - /FVC ≥ 0.70). These findings have important implications for identifying early-stage SAD and airflow obstruction with CT imaging biomarkers.

Nevertheless, disparities in uptake and implementation of cervical cancer services persist in sub-Saharan Africa, where population-level estimates of screening coverage remain scarce.MethodsWe pooled data from nationally representative Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (PHIA) surveys conducted in Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe (2015-2019). After estimating the prevalence of self-reported lifetime cervical cancer screening (overall and by country), survey-weighted multivariable log-binomial regression identified socio-demographic and clinical correlates of screening uptake among WLWH aged 25-64 years.ResultsOverall, 6933 WLWH (mean age: 39.6 years) were included in the multi-country sample. The pooled prevalence of lifetime cervical cancer screening was 18.5% (range: 8.5% [Rwanda] to 25.3% [Zambia]). Screening uptake varied by HIV clinical status, with serostatus-aware (21.3% vs 9.0%), antiretroviral therapy-experienced (22.0% vs 10.5%), and virally suppressed (22.1% vs 11.6%) WLWH, respectively, reporting significantly ( AB - < 0.001) higher screening rates. Screening was especially low among WLWH aged <35 years (14.7%), with no formal education (12.1%), in the poorest households (7.9%), and residing in rural areas (14.0%).ConclusionsFewer than one-fifth of WLWH had ever screened for cervical cancer, suggesting expanded availability and access to tailored, integrated services are critically needed.

This study reports ADRD diagnosis rates among Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥ 65 years in rural America. AB - We conducted a descriptive analysis of Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) and Medicare Advantage enrollees using administrative Medicare data from 2020. Combining data from Medicare FFS and Medicare Advantage produces a more complete and representative sample of older adults than previous studies that used FFS data alone. Nonmetropolitan counties were used to define rural. Rural ADRD diagnosis rates, stratified by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and Census region, were adjusted using the 2000 Census population standard. AB - The study population consisted of 54 million Medicare data Fee-for-Service (FFS) and Medicare Advantage enrollees aged ≥ 65; 5.3 million beneficiaries were diagnosed with ADRD, and 16.2% (n = 861,337) of beneficiaries diagnosed with ADRD resided in rural America. The age-adjusted ADRD diagnosis rate was slightly lower in rural America (9.6 per 100 beneficiaries) than in the United States (10.0 per 100 beneficiaries). The South Census region had the highest rural ADRD diagnosis rates. AB - These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and support mechanisms to address the growing burden of ADRD in rural communities.

This study sought to determine the acute SSC-induced pulmonary responses AB - whole-body inhalation exposure. AB - : A chamber for dust particle generation and an exposure system for characterization and animal exposures was constructed. The system successfully generated SSC at a concentration of 19.9 ± 1.5 mg/m AB - . The aerosol count median aerodynamic diameter was 820 nm. First, C57BL/6 mice were exposed to SSC particles for 4 h ( AB - = 6) or filtered air control followed by euthanasia either immediately or 24 h post-exposure. Lungs were analyzed for aluminum (Al) content using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) which measured a lung deposition of 19.13 ± 5.03 µg/g elemental Al, or approximately 64 µg/g SSC dust. Second, a group of mice ( AB - = 9) was exposed to SSC particles at 20 mg/m AB - for 4 days, 4 h/day to assess the acute and sub-chronic pulmonary effects of SSC inhalation. Animals were euthanized at 1- and 56-days post-exposure. AB - : Total estimated pulmonary deposition for these animals was 49.2 µg SSC dust/animal. No histopathologic changes were observed at any post-exposure time point; however, BALF total protein was increased at 1-day post-exposure. AB - : We conclude that exposure to dust from cutting SSC at this dose and post-exposure durations induces mild, transient inflammation.

However, a paucity of biomarker and surveillance data among non-lactating, non-pregnant women of reproductive age (NPWRA) from Africa limits accurate assessment. Our study assessed folate and vitamin B12 status among non-lactating NPWRA and predicted population risk of NTDs in Tanzania. AB - A cross-sectional biomarker survey of non-lactating NPWRA (15-49 years) in the Morogoro region, Tanzania was conducted during June-October 2019. Questionnaire interview responses and non-fasting blood samples were collected. Folate was assessed using the CDC microbiologic assay kit and vitamin B12 was measured using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Complex survey design analyses were conducted using SAS-callable SUDAAN (v11.0.1). AB - Of the 761 participating non-lactating NPWRA, 294 (39.8%) had RBC folate insufficiency (<748 mol/L). The prevalence of RBC folate insufficiency was lower among non-lactating NPWRA living in urban than rural areas (PR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.52-0.99) but did not differ by age or household wealth index. Vitamin B12 insufficiency was uncommon (< 221 pmol/L, 2.7%). The estimated NTD risk was 10.5 (95% uncertainty interval: 8.1-13.3) per 10,000 births. AB - Elevated NTD risk was predicted in the Morogoro region of Tanzania, where ∼ 40% of non-lactating NPWRA had RBC folate insufficiency and < 3% had vitamin B12 insufficiency. The NTD risk is consistent with surveillance data for the area, limited folic acid fortification of staple foods, and low vitamin B12 insufficiency. Further studies are needed to better understand the context of these findings, especially the impact of micronutrient fortification in Tanzania.

AU - Apata, Ibironke W. AU - Wortham, Jonathan M. AB - People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher risk for progression to tuberculosis disease following infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We produced a nationwide incidence estimate and description of tuberculosis among people with kidney failure. AB - We completed a cross-sectional descriptive analysis of people with a reported case of tuberculosis in the United States between 2010 and 2021. We stratified all people with tuberculosis by reported kidney failure status. The primary outcome was tuberculosis incidence among people with kidney failure. We also compared characteristics of people with tuberculosis by reported kidney failure status. AB - Approximately 3% of people (2,892 of 111,155) diagnosed with tuberculosis between 2010 and 2021 also had kidney failure. Annual tuberculosis incidence ranged from 26.1 to 45.4 per 100,000 people with kidney failure and 2.1 to 3.5 per 100,000 people without kidney failure. Among people with kidney failure, 924 (32%) had extrapulmonary tuberculosis only, and nearly 40% died: 286 were diagnosed with tuberculosis after death, and 792 died during treatment. People with tuberculosis and kidney failure had approximately twice the prevalence of a false-negative tuberculin skin test result (39%) compared to people with tuberculosis alone (20%). AB - Tuberculosis incidence among people with kidney failure between 2010 and 2021 in the United States was 10-fold that among people without kidney failure.

AB - In 2019, there were an estimated 1.2 million persons with HIV (PWH) and 35,100 new infections in the United States. The HIV care continuum has a large influence on transmission dynamics. AB - We updated Progression and Transmission of HIV 3.0, an agent-based simulation model, to estimate 2019 HIV transmission rates and distribution of transmissions by the HIV care continuum, race/ethnicity, transmission group, and age group. AB - In 2019, the estimated transmission rate in the United States was 2.94 new infections per 100 person-years ( inf/100p-y) . Transmission rates decreased along the HIV care continuum; the highest transmission rate was associated with persons with acute HIV infection and unaware of their HIV status at 16.35 inf/100p-y , followed by PWH (nonacute) and unaware of their HIV status (9.52), persons aware of their HIV status and not in care (5.96), persons receiving HIV care (on antiretroviral therapy) but not virally suppressed (4.53), and persons virally suppressed (0). The highest transmission rate by transmission group was among men who have sex with men at 3.68 inf/100p-y . Transmission rates decreased as age increased and are similar by race/ethnicity, after accounting for the HIV care continuum. AB - Our results support a continued emphasis on helping PWH move along the care continuum through early diagnosis, linkage to care, and adherence to ART, resulting in viral suppression to reduce HIV transmissions. Furthermore, efforts should focus on reducing disparities in the provision of HIV prevention and care services, particularly for populations disproportionally affected by HIV.
