Foundations for the scientific use of extensive health care data in Germany-results of the Data Sharing working group of the Medical Informatics Initiative
We describe the services that are necessary to provide researchers with standardized data access. They are implemented with the Research Data Portal for Health, among others. Since the pilot phase, the processes of 385 active researchers have been used on this basis, which, as of April 2024, has resulted in 19 registered projects and 31 submitted research applications.PMID:38684526 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-024-03880-y (Source: Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz)

Data integration centers-from a concept in the Medical Informatics Initiative to its local implementation in the Network of University Medicine
This article presents the three main pillars of DICs: ethical-legal framework, organization, and technology. The organization of DICs and their organizational embedding and interaction are presented, as well as the technical infrastructure. The services that a DIC provides for its own location and for external researchers are explained, and the role of the DIC as an internal and external interface for strengthening cooperation and collaboration is outlined.Legal conformity, organization, and technology form the basis for the processes and structures of a DIC and are decisive for how it is integrated into the healthcare and...

The gender paradox in health-impaired lifetime-end of a myth?
This article examines the extent to which this gender paradox can be explained by two factors: the "mortality effect," which results from the higher life expectancy of women, and "differential item functioning" (DIF), which refers to gender differences in reporting behavior.METHODS: Impaired life expectancy at age 50 is calculated for the health indicators general health, limitations, and chronic morbidity using the Sullivan method. Data on health prevalence are obtained from the 2012 survey "Gesundheit in Deutschland aktuell" (GEDA), data on mortality is taken from the Human Mortality Database. The gender difference in im...

Heat and heavy rain prevention measures in daycare centres and care facilities: an evaluation of risk perception, communication and information materials
This article shows that facilities are seen as very affected by heat waves. Awareness towards heavy rainfall needs to be raised. The feedback on the information material clearly shows a high need in this area.PMID:38656348 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-024-03876-8 (Source: Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz)

Healthy life expectancy: a critical look at the benefits and potential of the demographic health indicator
Bundesgesundheitsblatt Gesundheitsforschung Gesundheitsschutz. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1007/s00103-024-03874-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDemographic ageing yields many societal consequences that depend strongly on the health status of the population. Special indicators have been developed for tracking and assessing population health, which are referred to with the overarching term healthy life expectancy (HLE). The derivation of HLE is intuitive and easily comprehensible. However, an overly simplistic interpretation hides the extreme complexity inherent in adding the health dimension to the life table. This makes HLE com...

How has life expectancy without functional limitations developed in Germany? An analysis with data from the German Ageing Survey (DEAS)
DISCUSSION: Our analyses show different trends in DFLE depending on the indicator, age, and gender and do not allow a clear answer to the question of morbidity compression or expansion. We tend to see morbidity compression in men, whereas trends of stagnation or expansion tend to be seen in women. These results signal challenges in maintaining functional health, especially in women, and point to the need for targeted interventions to improve quality of life and healthy life expectancy.PMID:38649507 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-024-03875-9 (Source: Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz)
