Notes

Penile bone fracture: In a situation report from Nepal.
Clinic time for established encounters was statistically shorter with scribes (median 18 vs 21 minutes, P = 0.01), a 14% reduction. No significant difference was noted in new encounter clinic time. The time to note completion was shorter for new encounters with scribes (2 vs 3 days, P = 0.048). More notes were finalized by the third day postencounter when a scribe was present (63% vs 57%, P = 0.02).

The presence of medical scribes was associated with significantly more efficient clinic flow for established encounters and modest improvements in note completion rate. There were no measurable negative effects on documented medical note complexity or patient satisfaction scores.

To evaluate predictors of stay-at-home order adoption among US states, as well as associations between order enactment and residents' mobility.

We assess associations between state characteristics and adoption timing. We also assess associations between enactment and aggregate state-level measures of residents' mobility (Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports).

The United States.

Adoption population 50 US states and District of Columbia. Mobility population state residents using devices with GPS tracking accessible by Google.

State characteristics COVID-19 diagnoses per capita, 2016 Trump vote share, Republican governor, Medicaid expansion status, hospital beds per capita, public health funding per capita, state and local tax revenue per capita, median household income, population, percent residents 65 years or older, and percent urban residents. Mobility exposure indicator of order enactment by March 29, 2020 (date of mobility data collection).

Order adoption timing days since adoption of fir under social distancing policies.
While politics influenced order adoption, public health considerations were equally influential. While orders were associated with decreased mobility, political ideology was associated with increased mobility under social distancing policies.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed a strain on health care systems worldwide. Many hospitals experienced severe bed shortages; some had to turn patients away. In Singapore, the widespread outbreak, especially among the dormitory-based population, created a pressing need for alternative care sites.

The first massive-scale community care facility (CCF) was started in Singapore to address the pandemic. It served as a low-acuity primary care center that could isolate and treat COVID-19-positive patients with mild disease. This allowed decompression of the patient load in hospitals, ensuring that those with more severe disease could receive timely medical attention.

Various groups from the private and public sectors, including health care, construction, security, hotel management, and project coordination, were involved in the setup and operations of the CCF. A large exhibition center was converted into the care facility and segregated into zones to reduce cross-contamination. State-hannels. It allows for efficient resource utilization and is valuable in future pandemics with similar disease characteristics.
To evaluate the performance of a deep learning (DL) algorithm for the detection of COVID-19 on chest radiographs (CXR).

In this retrospective study, a DL model was trained on 112,120 CXR images with 14 labeled classifiers (ChestX-ray14) and fine-tuned using initial CXR on hospital admission of 509 patients, who had undergone COVID-19 reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The test set consisted of a CXR on presentation of 248 individuals suspected of COVID-19 pneumonia between February 16 and March 3, 2020 from 4 centers (72 RT-PCR positives and 176 RT-PCR negatives). The CXR were independently reviewed by 3 radiologists and using the DL algorithm. Selleckchem ZM 447439 Diagnostic performance was compared with radiologists' performance and was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUC).

The median age of the subjects in the test set was 61 (interquartile range 39 to 79) years (51% male). The DL algorithm achieved an AUC of 0.81, sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.72 in detecting COVID-19 using RT-PCR as the reference standard. On subgroup analyses, the model achieved an AUC of 0.79, sensitivity of 0.80, and specificity of 0.74 in detecting COVID-19 in patients presented with fever or respiratory systems and an AUC of 0.87, sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.81 in distinguishing COVID-19 from other forms of pneumonia. The algorithm significantly outperforms human readers (P<0.001 using DeLong test) with higher sensitivity (P=0.01 using McNemar test).

A DL algorithm (COV19NET) for the detection of COVID-19 on chest radiographs can potentially be an effective tool in triaging patients, particularly in resource-stretched health-care systems.

Much remains unknown about the longitudinal health and well-being of individuals with intellectual disability (ID); thus, new methods to identify those with ID within nationally representative population studies are critical for harnessing these data sets to generate new knowledge.

Our objective was to describe the development of a new method for identifying individuals with ID within large, population-level studies not targeted on ID.

We used a secondary analysis of the de-identified, restricted-use National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) database representing 20,745 adolescents to develop a method for identifying individuals who meet the criteria of ID. The three criteria of ID (intellectual functioning, adaptive functioning, and disability originating during the developmental period) were derived from the definitions of ID used by the American Psychiatric Association and the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. The ID Indicator was developed from the variables indicative of intellectual and adaptive functioning limitations included in the Add Health database from Waves I to III.
