BackgroundOpioid overdose-related deaths have increased dramatically in recent years. Combating the opioid epidemic requires better understanding of the epidemiology of opioid poisoning (OP) and opioid use disorder (OUD).ObjectiveWe aimed to discover geospatial patterns in nonmedical opioid use and its correlations with demographic features related to despair and economic hardship, most notably the US presidential voting patterns in 2016 at census tract level in New York State.MethodsThis cross-sectional analysis used data from New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System claims data and the presidential voting results of 2016 in New York State from the Harvard Election Data Archive. We included 63,958 patients who had at least one OUD diagnosis between 2010 and 2016 and 36,004 patients with at least one OP diagnosis between 2012 and 2016. Geospatial mappings were created to compare areas of New York in OUD rates and presidential voting patterns. A multiple regression model examines the extent that certain factors explain OUD rate variation.ResultsSeveral areas shared similar patterns of OUD rates and Republican vote: census tracts in western New York, central New York, and Suffolk County. The correlation between OUD rates and the Republican vote was .38 (P<.001). The regression model with census tract level of demographic and socioeconomic factors explains 30% of the variance in OUD rates, with disability and Republican vote as the most significant predictors.ConclusionsAt the census tract level, OUD rates were positively correlated with Republican support in the 2016 presidential election, disability, unemployment, and unmarried status. Socioeconomic and demographic despair-related features explain a large portion of the association between the Republican vote and OUD. Together, these findings underscore the importance of socioeconomic interventions in combating the opioid epidemic. 相似文献
Asian American immigrant (AAI) women may have suboptimal 24-h activity patterns due to traditional gender role and caregiving responsibilities. However, little is known about their objectively-measured activity. We measured AAI women’s 24-h activity patterns using accelerometry and examined cultural correlates of time in sedentary behavior (SB), light intensity physical activity (LIPA), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sleep. Seventy-five AAI women completed surveys on acculturation (years of U.S. residency and English proficiency), discrimination, and sleep quality, and 7 days of wrist- and hip-accelerometer monitoring. Linear regression was conducted controlling for age, BMI, and education. We also compared activity patterns across Asian subgroups (East, Southeast, South Asians). On average, AAI women had 33 min of MVPA, 6.1 h of LIPA, 10 h of SB, and 5.3 h of sleep per day. South Asian women had the longest SB and the shortest sleep and MVPA hours. English proficiency was negatively related to MVPA (p?=?0.03) and LIPA (p?<?0.01). Years of U.S. residency was positively related to SB (p?=?0.07). Discrimination was related to shorter (p?=?0.03) and poorer quality sleep (p?=?0.06). Culturally-tailored programs targeting SB and sleep and integrating coping strategies against discrimination could help optimize AAI women’s 24-h activity patterns.
目的 调查复数菌与单菌血流感染患者的临床特征及预后的影响因素。方法 回顾性分析某三甲医院2017年1月-2021年12月临床和病原学确诊的血流感染患者的病历资料,依据检出病原菌种数分为单菌组和复数菌组,研究结局为住院期间全因死亡率。比较两组患者的临床特征及复数菌患者预后的影响因素。结果 共有430例患者血培养阳性。单菌血流感染367例(85.3%),复数菌血流感染63例(14.7%)。复数菌组患者医院感染所占比率较单菌组高(76.2% VS 56.9%),差异有统计学意义(P=0.003);复数菌组患者下呼吸道感染比率较单菌组高(44.4% VS 29.2%),差异有统计学意义(P=0.018)。复数菌组患者住院时间较单菌组高[24(16~39) VS 19(13~26) d],差异有统计学意义(P=0.002)。复数菌组患者病死率高于单菌组(12.7% VS 3.8%),且住院时间延长,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。多因素分析显示,复数菌感染(OR=3.24,95%CI:1.20~8.75)、消化道肿瘤(OR=3.28,95%CI=1.21~8.84)、有创机械通气(OR=3.40,95%CI=1.22~9.42)、深静脉置管(OR=2.76,95%CI=1.00~7.64)、留置导尿管(OR=3.28,95%CI=1.04~10.40)是血流感染患者死亡的独立危险因素。相较于单菌组,复数菌组送检时间至出院时间间隔显著延长[20(15~36) d VS 16(10~22) d,P<0.001]。单菌组与复数菌组患者检出的金黄色葡萄球菌、溶血葡萄球菌和大肠埃希菌的构成比较,差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。结论 住院患者复数菌血流感染死亡风险显著增加,消化道肿瘤、有创机械通气、深静脉置管、留置导尿管是血流感染患者死亡的独立危险因素,应引起临床的重要关注。 相似文献
