A number of methods exist in the statistical literature to correctly estimate disease prevalence or seroprevalence in the presence of diagnostic test misclassification, but these methods seem to be not routinely used in the public health literature. We aimed to examine how widespread the problem is in recent publications, and to quantify the magnitude of bias introduced when correct methods are not used.Methods: A systematic review was performed to estimate how often public health researchers accounted for diagnostic test performance in estimates of seroprevalence.Results: Of the seroprevalence studies sampled, 77% (95% CI 72%-82%) failed to account for sensitivity and specificity. In high impact journals, 72% did not correct for test characteristics, and 34% did not report sensitivity or specificity. The most common type of correction was the Rogen-Gladen formula (57%, 45%-69%), followed by Bayesian approaches (32%, 21%-44%). Rates of correction increased slightly over time, but type of correction did not change.Conclusion: Researchers conducting studies of prevalence should report sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic test and correctly account for these characteristics.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608343"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12303856/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144742118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases for studies published between 2014 and 2024. Maximum covariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) was combined. A fixed or a randomized effect model was applied according to the heterogeneity.Results: 34 studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Low quality sleep significantly increased the risk of incidence (OR:1.09, 95%CI:1.05-1.13), adverse progression (OR:1.55,95%CI:1.51-1.59), and specific mortality (OR:1.54, 95%CI:1.50-1.58) of breast cancer. Sleep duration >9 h had a poor effect on breast cancer-specific mortality (OR:1.45,95%CI:1.02-2.04).Conclusions: The available evidence points to sleep traits as primarily influencing progression in breast cancer patients and having a relatively small effect on breast cancer incidence. Prolonged sleep may lead to breast cancer-specific mortality, but more research is needed in the future to continue to explore the impact of sleep duration and breast cancer risk.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608535"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12303857/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144742119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients were followed starting from an acute episode of care until 2 years after discharge. Effectiveness measures were variation of psychiatric symptoms between admission and discharge and number of non-readmission days. Direct costs were obtained from the Cantonal Psychiatric Clinic and patients' health insurance companies. Indirect costs were estimated based on sick leave certificates. Bootstrap resampling procedures and Cost-Effectiveness Acceptability Curves were used to assess cost differences between groups and cost-effectiveness.Results: CRHT resulted generally less costly than hospitalization. In the treatment phase, cost-effectiveness depended on the type of psychiatric symptoms considered, while CRHT resulted highly cost-effective in the follow-up phase.Conclusion: CRHT can be a cost-effective alternative to hospitalization for managing acute psychiatric crises in Ticino. Further research is needed to explore patients' conditions and characteristics associated with cost-effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608248"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12301259/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144730877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the high prevalence of MH disorders in this population and barriers to care, integrating MH services within HIV care settings is explored as a potential strategy to improve patient outcomes.Methods: Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across five databases to identify studies examining MH interventions for PLWHA in African settings. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were reviewed for intervention type, target population, and reported outcomes.Results: Of 818 studies identified, 16 from six African countries met inclusion criteria, with Zimbabwe and South Africa leading in interventions. Most targeted depression, employing non-pharmacological approaches such as task-sharing and stepped-care models.

Among the six types of services, medical services, psychological counseling, and nursing services had the greatest impact, while diet conditions had the least. The older people with clear demands can select facilities by the first recommendation method, while those with unclear demands can choose from four types of facilities: recommended, non-recommended, suitable for forward-thinking customers, and suitable for concerned customers.Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into older people, care facilities, and governments.
