Population Characteristics in Justice Health Research Based on PubMed Abstracts From 1963 to 2023: Text Mining Study

Population Characteristics in Justice Health Research Based on PubMed Abstracts From 1963 to 2023: Text Mining Study

Developing effective population prevention and intervention strategies requires evidence-based reporting of the studied population [13]. A 2018 synthesis of reviews on global prisoner health concluded that detained adolescents were not the focus of any of the included studies despite evidence of health inequalities within that particular population [14]. Furthermore, minority groups exhibit varying morbidity and mortality rates, suggesting distinct health risks and outcomes [15].

Estimating the Size of Populations at High Risk of Malaria in 2 Operational Districts in Cambodia: Household-Based Survey

Estimating the Size of Populations at High Risk of Malaria in 2 Operational Districts in Cambodia: Household-Based Survey

Yet, the population subgroups that remain at high risk for malaria in countries that have made significant progress toward malaria elimination are often not assessed or monitored by existing programs or population censuses. Malaria continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS).

The Association of Broadband Internet Use With Drug Overdose Mortality Rates in the United States: Cross-Sectional Analysis

The Association of Broadband Internet Use With Drug Overdose Mortality Rates in the United States: Cross-Sectional Analysis

More specifically, the widening availability of broadband internet could potentially worsen the health inequalities in the United States, as it disproportionately impacts already marginalized groups such as racial/ethnic minorities, the older population, individuals with lower incomes, those with less education, and residents of rural areas [5].

Exploring the Prevalence of Tinnitus and Ear-Related Symptoms in China After the COVID-19 Pandemic: Online Cross-Sectional Survey

Exploring the Prevalence of Tinnitus and Ear-Related Symptoms in China After the COVID-19 Pandemic: Online Cross-Sectional Survey

To gain a better understanding of the characteristics of patients experiencing tinnitus symptoms following COVID-19 infection, we conducted an online survey called the China Ear Nose and Throat Symptom Survey in the COVID-19 Pandemic (CENTSS) among the Chinese population. This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 infection on ear-related symptoms, with a specific focus on patients reporting tinnitus as a consequence of COVID-19 exposure.

Evaluating the Knowledge of and Behavior Toward COVID-19 and the Possibility of Isolating at a City Level: Survey Study

Evaluating the Knowledge of and Behavior Toward COVID-19 and the Possibility of Isolating at a City Level: Survey Study

As West et al [14] pointed out in May 2020, effective interventions are urgently needed to increase adherence of the general population to the proper implementation of health measures for protecting people individually and collectively.

Identifying Predictive Risk Factors for Future Cognitive Impairment Among Chinese Older Adults: Longitudinal Prediction Study

Identifying Predictive Risk Factors for Future Cognitive Impairment Among Chinese Older Adults: Longitudinal Prediction Study

Furthermore, population characteristics vary widely across China, but it is unknown which risk factors are the most predictive in different socioeconomic groups, and existing prediction models have primarily been tested in the general population alone.

Revealing the Mysteries of Population Mobility Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic in Canada: Comparative Analysis With Internet of Things–Based Thermostat Data and Google Mobility Insights

Revealing the Mysteries of Population Mobility Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic in Canada: Comparative Analysis With Internet of Things–Based Thermostat Data and Google Mobility Insights

While macromobility data are readily available through sources such as Google’s “COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports,” our understanding of micromobility at the population level remains limited. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing smart thermostat data, thereby providing a more comprehensive picture of human mobility patterns.

Triangulating Truth and Reaching Consensus on Population Size, Prevalence, and More: Modeling Study

Triangulating Truth and Reaching Consensus on Population Size, Prevalence, and More: Modeling Study

Our goal was similar: to estimate a population quantity of interest θ which can be a population size, population proportion, incidence, among others. We aimed to synthesize several estimates yj of this quantity from different studies, where the variance σj2 of each estimate is known. Despite the assumption that the variance σj2 is known (ie, has been computed during the processing of the jth study), it may not truly reflect the uncertainty in the estimate of yj.

Estimation of the Population Size of Street- and Venue-Based Female Sex Workers and Sexually Exploited Minors in Rwanda in 2022: 3-Source Capture-Recapture

Estimation of the Population Size of Street- and Venue-Based Female Sex Workers and Sexually Exploited Minors in Rwanda in 2022: 3-Source Capture-Recapture

The recent 5th Rwanda Population and Housing Census in 2022 reported an average annual growth rate of 2.3%, where the current resident population increased beyond 13 million from 10.5 million in 2012 [11]. This rapid increase in the general population reflects the need for regular update of key population size estimates to inform HIV programming and planning in Rwanda.

The Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Non–COVID-19 Deaths: Population-Wide Retrospective Cohort Study

The Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Non–COVID-19 Deaths: Population-Wide Retrospective Cohort Study

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges to population health beyond infection. On one hand, viral infection is a major health threat to vulnerable patients; on the other hand, among all patients, hospital non–COVID-19 mortality increased significantly. A retrospective, multicenter study in the United States reported that 30-day risk-adjusted non–COVID-19 mortality has increased by more than 20% since the pandemic [1].
