CONCLUSIONS: Mortality with co-mention of chronic liver disease and pneumonia rose sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained persistently elevated through 2024; this pattern was similar in sensitivity analyses excluding deaths with a co-listed U07.1 code and using alternative case definitions. Substantial and sustained disparities were observed, particularly among non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native individuals and non-metropolitan residents. These findings reflect co-occurrence...
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that a complex intervention can maintain reach and acceptability through adaptive implementation under major contextual disruptions. The rapid resumption of home-based services emerged as a promising implementation strategy for engaging and retaining socially disadvantaged families, highlighting the importance of flexible, context-sensitive approaches during social and economic crises.
BACKGROUND: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunomodulatory therapy may respond less well to vaccination. We followed humoral and cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination over 12 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Virtual IBD specialist care was associated with substantial reductions in estimated travel-related carbon emissions, which diminished as care returned to in-person delivery. Sustainable hybrid care models may preserve environmental benefits while maintaining specialist access.
Patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and their families encounter challenges that extend beyond disease management, encompassing informational gaps, cultural barriers, and unmet psychosocial needs. Despite interest in improved quality of life (QoL) for cancer patients, few studies have examined the perspectives of PDAC patients and their caregivers on what constitutes effective, compassionate care, especially following the COVID-19 global pandemic, a period...
Cirrhosis affects more than 2 million Americans and drives substantial healthcare utilization, impaired quality of life, and mortality. Because early-stage disease carries a favorable prognosis and decompensated patients can recompensate, systematic delivery of preventive care is essential. Under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology Practice Parameters Committee, a writing group of hepatology experts and 2 Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation...
CONCLUSION: Serological adherence was significantly higher during both the COVID-19 restriction and post-pandemic periods than during the pre-pandemic period, while no significant changes in anthropometric measurements were observed.
Objective Demands on endoscopy services have increased substantially in recent years, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) under conscious sedation is poorly tolerated by a subgroup of patients, who are often referred for propofol-sedated or general anaesthetic OGD (GA OGD), a resource-intensive procedure associated with prolonged waiting times. Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is better tolerated and has comparable diagnostic accuracy to conventional OGD. This study...
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that microfilaremic loiasis may impair proinflammatory T cell responses to viral antigens, highlighting the need for further research into the broader immunological effects of Loa loa infection in endemic populations.
Humoral immune responses to COVID-19 vaccination vary widely across individuals, yet the genetic determinants of functional antibody protection beyond binding antibodies after two immunizations remain poorly understood. We performed genome-wide association studies on antigen-specific antibody concentrations and live-virus neutralization activities after two and three vaccine doses in two German cohorts of SARS-CoV-2 infection-naïve individuals (RisCoin study n = 2,877; KoCo19 study n = 1,654)....
