Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an often underdiagnosed disease that can be life threatening for individuals. Currently, the best practice approach to assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients within a rehabilitation hospital is unknown. We examined how well the Caprini risk assessment (CRA) score predicts VTE events (deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE)) within an inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Between January 2015 and October 2020, VTE events, the CRA Score, and risk factors were collected from a chart review conducted at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital (MFB) among 3,091 patients. Results from the unadjusted logistic regression model …

Introduction: On 1 October 2015, the USA transitioned from the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10-CM). Considering the major changes to drug overdose coding, we examined how using different approaches to define all-drug overdose and opioid overdose morbidity indicators in ICD-9-CM impacts longitudinal analyses that span the transition, using emergency department (ED) and hospitalisation data from six states’ hospital discharge data systems.
Methods: We calculated monthly all-drug and opioid overdose ED visit rates and hospitalisation rates (per 100 000 population) by state, starting in January 2010. We applied …

Background: Little is known regarding the role of early-life exercise, a potentially modifiable factor, in long-term adult morbidity and mortality. We utilized the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS) to investigate adolescent exercise in association with cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older women.
Methods: The SWHS is a prospective cohort of 74,941 Chinese women ages 40 to 70 years recruited from 1996 to 2000. In-person interviews at enrollment assessed adolescent and adult exercise history, medical and reproductive history, and other lifestyle and socioeconomic (SES) factors. Mortality follow-up occurs via annual linkage to the Shanghai Vital Statistics …
