  • Continuous monitoring of eating and sleeping behaviors in the home environments of older adults

    Open AccessAditya Narayan, Margo Goncharova et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Accurate observation of patient functioning is necessary for rigorous clinical research and for improving the quality of patient care. However, clinic or laboratory environments systematically differ from the contexts of everyday life. Further, assessments that are completed in a single institutional session may not be generalizable. Here, we describe a computer vision methodology that measures human functioning continuously in the environments w…

  • Association between maternal employment status and presence of children with major congenital anomalies in Denmark

    MCMCAs were less likely to participate in the Danish workforce, less likely to be employed, and more likely to receive disability pensions than mothers of unaffected children. The rate of leaving the workforce intensified as their affected children grew older.

    Our goal was to examine colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, referral, and follow-up practices in a population of Chinese and Latino immigrant patients. We conducted a nested cohort study within a larger randomized trial in a primary care clinic of a large municipal hospital. Participants were patients born in China and Latin America, new to the clinic and eligible for screening colonoscopy. The main outcome measures were physician referral for scr…

  • Randomized, Controlled Trials, Observational Studies, and the Hierarchy of Research Designs

    John Concato, Nirav R Shah et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2000

    BACKGROUND: In the hierarchy of research designs, the results of randomized, controlled trials are considered to be evidence of the highest grade, whereas observational studies are viewed as having less validity because they reportedly overestimate treatment effects. We used published meta-analyses to identify randomized clinical trials and observational studies that examined the same clinical topics. We then compared the results of the original …
