We aimed to explore the factors associated with the withholding of IMV in patients with COVID-19. This retrospective study included patients registered in a nationwide COVID-19 Registry Japan. We enrolled patients with COVID-19 admitted between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, and died during hospitalization. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups: those who received IMV (IMV group) and those who did not (non-IMV group). To identify the factors associated with withholding of IMV among patients with COVID-19 who died during hospitalization, we conducted a multivariate logistic regression analysis. A total of 2,401 patients were enrolled. Of these, 588 (24.5%) were in the IMV group and 1813 (75.5%) in the non-IMV group. Withholding IMV was positively associated with older age (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.82-0.88, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), dementia (95% CI: 0.81-0.91, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), chronic lung disease (95% CI: 0.88-1.00, <i>p</i> = 0.036), and malignancy (95% CI: 0.82-0.94, <i>p</i> < 0.0004) although inversely associated with male sex (95% CI: 1.04-1.15, <i>p</i> = 0.0008), body mass index (95% CI: 1.01-1.02, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), and National Early Warning Score (95% CI: 1.01-1.03, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). We subsequently analyzed these results to inform preparedness for future emerging infectious disease pandemics by retrospectively examining the decision-making processes during the COVID-19 crisis, with particular attention to the role of multidisciplinary collaboration.

This communication introduces a qualitative study, which served as the first step in developing the DMIST scale, a tool to monitor and assess DFUs over time. Using a morpho-qualitative analysis method, we examined 50 DFUs in 42 patients from a hospital in Tokyo, classifying ulcers by primary pathogenic factors and healing periods. Our analysis identified 8 categories and 33 sub-categories of morphological characteristics. Key findings included identification of features such as the \"red ring\", \"hyperkeratosis\", and \"rolled wound edges\", each affecting healing times. The DMIST scale integrates these visual signs, offering a practical tool for DFU management, particularly valuable in low-resource settings. This scale has undergone validation and refinement through international collaboration, with the aim to improve DFU patient outcomes globally.

When comparing changes in knowledge and attitude between baseline and endline assessments, the intervention group showed a notable improvement in knowledge regarding the causes, symptoms, prevention, and benefits of early detection of cervical cancer. For instance, the proportion of women who recognized human papillomavirus as the cause of cervical cancer significantly increased in the intervention group (baseline: 23.7%, endline: 57.5%, <i>p</i> < 0.001), while no significant change was observed in the control group (baseline: 24.4%, endline: 29.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.101). In conclusion, the health education program effectively increased cervical cancer screening uptake, knowledge and attitude on cervical cancer. Further improvements in screening uptake may require educational interventions that influence individual health behaviors and systematic encouragement for screening participation.</p>","PeriodicalId":520484,"journal":{"name":"GHM open","volume":"5 1","pages":"21-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12231358/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
