Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study

Patient demographics including age, sex, race, ethnicity, preferred language, and insurance status were extracted from the EHR for all individual patients who were seen in person or on telemedicine. All ages reported refer to the patient’s age. Race and ethnicity data were collected by self-report.

Dermatologic Data From the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 and the PatientsLikeMe Online Support Community: Comparative Analysis

Dermatologic Data From the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 and the PatientsLikeMe Online Support Community: Comparative Analysis

Given PLM’s popularity, this study and our previous work [4] analyze user demographics and illuminate the daily struggles, treatment challenges, and emotional impact of high-burden dermatologic conditions identified by the GBD. Greater understanding could build awareness of patient concerns, identify trends and unmet needs in disease management, and ultimately contribute to improved patient-centered care and outcomes.

Telehealth Uptake Among Hispanic People During COVID-19: Retrospective Observational Study

Telehealth Uptake Among Hispanic People During COVID-19: Retrospective Observational Study

Research suggested that telehealth use differed by demographics such as gender, age, and education [14]. Studies have noted gender differences in telehealth use, as male participants are less likely to use telehealth than female participants [3,9,15,16]. Among racial and ethnic groups, Hispanic patients often opt for in-person rather than telehealth visits [5,10]. Whether a patient has access to and knowledge to use telehealth depends on socioeconomic factors [5].

PatientsLikeMe and Online Patient Support Communities in Dermatology

PatientsLikeMe and Online Patient Support Communities in Dermatology

Discrepancies when comparing demographics of disease prevalence may be rooted in the self-selected nature of PLM use, where users predominantly identified as female and non-Hispanic White, and were generally younger and more highly educated than even those of other online platforms [5]. Women are also more likely to use internet sources for health information compared to men [3].

Assessing SARS-CoV-2 Testing Adherence in a University Town: Recurrent Event Modeling Analysis

Assessing SARS-CoV-2 Testing Adherence in a University Town: Recurrent Event Modeling Analysis

Nonetheless, HDT or HYT demonstrated the program’s effectiveness in retaining participants across a broad spectrum of age and race or ethnic demographics through and engaging new individuals in testing throughout its duration. The highest burden of infection arrived with the dominance of the Omicron variant in California, during which the testing program accelerated testing and outreach efforts to achieve the highest daily testing rate of the surveillance program.

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

Among those with no formal education, demographics, cognitive tests, and IADL had AUCs of 0.79 (95% CI 0.78-0.79), 0.72 (95% CI 0.72-0.73), and 0.71 (95% CI 0.70-0.71), respectively. When making predictions among those with some education, demographics, cognitive tests, and IADL had average AUCs of 0.73 (95% CI 0.72-0.74), 0.64 (95% CI 0.63-0.66), and 0.64 (95% CI 0.62-0.65), respectively. The existing prediction models recreated in this study all had good predictive ability in the general population.
