Burden of microbial pathogens–associated infectious diseases in Asian older adults
Background Microbial pathogens–associated infectious diseases significantly threaten older adults, especially in Asia, home to over 60% of the world’s older adults. Age-related immune decline increases infection-related mortality and disability. Using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data, we quantify the burden attributable to 34 microbial pathogens in older adults across Asia. Method We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of GBD 2021 data t…
Variation in global trauma care
BACKGROUND: Trauma is a heterogeneous disease entity, with high rates of mortality and morbidity observed globally. While the health systems in which trauma patients are cared for worldwide have been previously assessed to varying degrees, many of the system processes that shape trauma patient outcomes remain unknown. METHODS: We conducted a survey of 187 hospitals across 51 countries, through the GOAL-Trauma collaborative network. We explored pr…
Critical Care Database Comprising Patients With Infection
Patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) are closely monitored and receive intensive treatment. Such aggressive monitoring and treatment will generate high-granularity data from both electronic healthcare records and nursing charts. These data not only provide infrastructure for daily clinical practice but also can help to inform clinical studies. It is technically challenging to integrate and cleanse medical data from a variety of sourc…
Balance diagnostics after propensity score matching
Propensity score matching (PSM) is a popular method in clinical researches to create a balanced covariate distribution between treated and untreated groups. However, the balance diagnostics are often not appropriately conducted and reported in the literature and therefore the validity of the findings from the PSM analysis is not warranted. The special article aims to outline the methods used for assessing balance in covariates after PSM. Standard…
Chinese Graduate Students' Adaptation to Learning in America
IT HAS BEEN A COMMON PHENOMENON for large numbers of foreign students to study on campus in American universities. Chinese students from the People’s Republic of China make up one of the largest groups among these foreign students. In 2004/2005, there were 62,523 students from China1 who were the second largest group among the 565,039 foreign students in the US (Institute of International Education, NY 2005). Over the last five years, the number …
