Trends in RSV testing patterns among infants presenting with bronchiolitis: Results from four United States health systems, 2015-2023
CONCLUSIONS: Although RSV testing increased among infants with bronchiolitis, relatively low outpatient testing rates remain a key barrier to accurate RSV surveillance.PMID:38685519 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.04.010 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

Person-centered hospital discharge data: Essential existing infrastructure to enhance public health surveillance of maternal substance use disorders in the midst of a national maternal overdose crisis
CONCLUSION: By spanning the full 21 months of pregnancy/postpartum, person-centered HDD reveal than the maternal SUD crisis is far greater than encounter-based delivery estimates had revealed. Generating person-centered HDD will improve efforts to tailor interventions to help people who use drugs survive while pregnant and postpartum, and eliminate inequities.PMID:38677568 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.04.007 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

Association between glycemic status and the risk of gastric cancer in pre-and postmenopausal women: A nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of gastric cancer escalates with deteriorating glycemic status in a dose-response manner. Diabetes mellitus is linked with an elevated risk of gastric cancer in postmenopausal women.PMID:38663524 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.04.009 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

A social acceptability scale: validation in the context of government measures to curb the COVID-19 pandemic in Senegal
CONCLUSION: This scale was one of the first to test the TFA. The small number of items was advantageous for use under challenging data collection contexts. Measuring the acceptability of public health interventions with this tool can help in their design and implementation.PMID:38641214 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.04.004 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)
