Research Design and Methods: Using GWAS summary statistics from the DIAGRAM consortium and Million Veteran Program, we developed multi-ancestry Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) polygenic risk scores (T2D-PRSs) useful in admixed Hispanic/Latino individuals. We estimated the association of the T2D-PRS with cross-sectional and incident DM in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). We conducted a mediation analysis with T2D-PRSs as an exposure, incident DM as an outcome, and OSA as a mediator. Additionally, we performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess the causal relationship between T2D and OSA. Results: Of 12,342 HCHS/SOL participants, at baseline, 48.4% were normoglycemic, 36.6% were hyperglycemic, and 15% had diabetes, and 50.9% identified as female. Mean age was 41.5, and mean BMI was 29.4. T2D-PRSs was strongly associated with baseline DM and with incident DM. At baseline, a 1 SD increase in the primary T2D-PRS had DM adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.67, 95% CI [2.40; 2.97] and a higher incident DM rate (incident rate ratio (IRR) = 2.02, 95% CI [1.75; 2.33]). In a stratified analysis based on OSA severity categories the associations were stronger in individuals with mild OSA compared to those with moderate to severe OSA. Mediation analysis suggested that OSA mediates the T2D-PRS association with DM. In two-sample MR analysis, T2D-PRS had a causal effect on OSA, OR = 1.03, 95% CI [1.01; 1.05], and OSA had a causal effect on T2D, with OR = 2.34, 95% CI [1.59; 3.44].

We aimed to investigate the associations of insomnia symptoms and trajectories with the risk of incident CVD. Methods This study used data from the Health and Retirement Study. Insomnia symptoms included non-restorative sleep, difficulty initiating sleep, early morning awakening, and difficulty maintaining sleep, classified on a scale ranging from 0 to 8. We also identified four distinct trajectories of insomnia symptoms: low, decreasing, increasing, and high insomnia symptoms. Examined outcomes included incident heart disease, stroke, and the combination of the two referred as CVD in the present study. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) after adjusting for potential confounders.\u0000Results A total of 12 102 participants aged 50 years or over without CVD at baseline were included. During a median follow-up of 10.2 years, 3 962 first CVD events occurred (3 372 heart disease and 1 200 stroke). Participants experiencing one (HR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.05-1.27]), two (HR, 1.16 [ 95% CI, 1.05-1.28]), or three to four (HR, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.15-1.38]) insomnia symptoms had a higher risk of incident CVD compared to those not experiencing any insomnia symptoms.

Methods: We collected both symptom data and nose- and throat samples from symptomatic people during the 2022/2023 respiratory season in a large participatory surveillance study in the Netherlands, and tested these for 18 respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2. We compared reported health status, symptoms and odds of having a mono respiratory viral infection or co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and another respiratory virus. Results: In total 4,655 samples were included with 22% (n=1,017) testing SARS-CoV-2 positive. Of these 11% (n=116) also tested positive for a second respiratory virus. The most frequently occurring co-infections in SARS-CoV-2 positive participants were with rhinovirus (59%; n=69), seasonal coronaviruses (15%; n=17) and adenovirus (7%; n=8). Participants with a co-infection with one of these three viruses did not report more severe disease compared to those with a SARS-CoV-2 mono-infection. The odds of experiencing SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with seasonal coronavirus or rhinovirus were lower compared to the odds of the respective non-SARS-CoV-2 mono-infection (OR: 0.16, CI 95%: 0.10 - 0.24; OR: 0.21 CI 95%: 0.17 - 0.26; respectively).

The individual forecasts were synthesized into an ensemble and benchmarked against a baseline model. The ensemble forecasts consistently outperformed both individual models and baseline forecasts, demonstrating superior accuracy at national and sub-national levels across various metrics.

Parasite genetic data is extensively deployed to investigate the space-time spread of imported infections. In this matter, this systematic review aimed to aggregate evidence on the use of parasite genetic data for mapping imported malaria and the statistical analytical methods. We discuss the advantages and limitations of the deployed genetic approaches and propose a suitable type of genetic data and statistical framework to discriminate imported malaria infections from local infections.

The models used in phylodynamics typically assume that the sampling procedure is independent between infected individuals. However, this assumption does not hold for many epidemics, in particular for such sexually transmitted infections as HIV-1, for which partner notification schemes are included in health policies of many countries.\u0000We developed an extension of phylodynamic multi-type birth-death (MTBD) models with partner notification (PN), and a simulator to generate trees under MTBD and MTBD-PN models. We proposed a non-parametric test for detecting partner notification in pathogen phylogenetic trees. Its application to simulated data showed that it is both highly specific and sensitive. For the simplest representative of the MTBD-PN family, the BD-PN model, we solved the differential equations and proposed a closed form solution for the likelihood function. We implemented it in a program, which estimates the model parameters and their confidence intervals from phylogenetic trees. It performed accurate estimations on simulated data, and detected partner notification in HIV-1 B epidemics in Zurich and the UK. Importantly, we showed that not accounting for partner notification when it is present leads to bias in parameter estimation with the BD model, while BD-PN parameter estimator performs well both in presence and in absence of partner notification.\u0000Our PN test, MTBD-PN tree simulator and BD-PN parameter estimator are freely available at https://github.com/evolbioinfo/treesimulator and https://github.com/evolbioinfo/bdpn}{github.com/evolbioinfo/bdpn.","PeriodicalId":501071,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Epidemiology","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three pathways were trialled: (A) on-site swabbing with local laboratory testing, (B) on-site swabbing with UKHSA-commissioned laboratory testing, and (C) postal swabbing with UKHSA-commissioned laboratory testing. Here, we compare pathways in relation to recruitment, testing coverage, participant acceptability, and UKHSA SIREN research team feedback.\u0000Methods: We conducted a mixed methods evaluation using metrics of quality assurance and study fidelity (participant recruitment and retention; multiplex PCR testing timing and coverage), an adapted NIHR ‘participant in research’ feedback questionnaire, and thematic analysis of a UKHSA SIREN research team workshop.\u0000Results: With 7,774 participants recruited, target recruitment (N=7,500) was achieved. Thirty-nine sites took part in the sub-study (4,289 participants). Thirty-three used pathway A, and six used pathway B. 3,485 participants enrolled to pathway C (27.8% of invitees). The median number of tests per participant was similar across pathways (6; 4; 5). However, sites using local laboratories showed a wide variation in the date they switched to multiplex testing (28th November 2022 to 16th March 2023). Consequently, influenza and RSV testing coverage was higher for pathways using UKHSA-commissioned laboratories (100.0% vs 45.6% at local laboratories). 1,204/7,774 (15.5%) participants completed the feedback survey. All pathways were acceptable to participants; 98.9% of postal and 97.5% of site-based participants ‘would consider taking part again’.\u0000Conclusion: Transitioning SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing to include influenza and RSV was challenging to achieve rapidly across multiple sites. The postal testing pathway proved more agile, and UKHSA-commissioned laboratory testing provided more comprehensive data collection than local laboratory testing. This sub-study indicates that postal protocols are effective, adaptable at pace, and acceptable to participants.","PeriodicalId":501071,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Epidemiology","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
