Evidence-based practices and data-driven decision-making have been recognized as valuable tools for improving the policymaking process. Nevertheless, due to the abundance of data, there is a need to develop sophisticated analytical techniques and tools to efficiently extract and analyze the data. <b>Methods:</b> Using Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, we categorize the policy responses into 6 different categories: (a) containment and closure, (b) health systems, (c) vaccines, (d) economic, (e) country, and (f) others. We proposed a novel research framework to compare the response times of the scholars and the general public. To achieve this, we analyzed more than 400,000 research abstracts published over the past 2.5 years, along with text information from Google Trends as a proxy for topics of public concern. We introduced an innovative text-mining method: coherent topic clustering to analyze the huge number of abstracts. <b>Results:</b> Our results show that the research abstracts not only discussed almost all of the COVID-19 issues earlier than Google Trends did, but they also provided more in-depth coverage. This should help policymakers identify core COVID-19 issues and act earlier. Besides, our clustering method can better reflect the main messages of the abstracts than a recent advanced deep learning-based topic modeling tool. <b>Conclusion:</b> Scholars generally have a faster response in discussing COVID-19 issues than Google Trends.</p>","PeriodicalId":73207,"journal":{"name":"Health data science","volume":"4 ","pages":"0116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10895931/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140133416","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}

Existing multimodal approaches in AI drug discovery integrate either structured or unstructured knowledge independently, which compromises the holistic understanding of biomolecules. Besides, they fail to address the missing modality problem, where multimodal information is missing for novel drugs and proteins. <b>Methods:</b> In this work, we present KEDD, a unified, end-to-end deep learning framework that jointly incorporates both structured and unstructured knowledge for vast AI drug discovery tasks. The framework first incorporates independent representation learning models to extract the underlying characteristics from each modality. Then, it applies a feature fusion technique to calculate the prediction results. To mitigate the missing modality problem, we leverage sparse attention and a modality masking technique to reconstruct the missing features based on top relevant molecules. <b>Results:</b> Benefiting from structured and unstructured knowledge, our framework achieves a deeper understanding of biomolecules. KEDD outperforms state-of-the-art models by an average of 5.2% on drug-target interaction prediction, 2.6% on drug property prediction, 1.2% on drug-drug interaction prediction, and 4.1% on protein-protein interaction prediction.

However, there is a wide gap in current research regarding the impact of digital exclusion on the mental health of older adults in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries. <b>Methods:</b> We analyzed data from 5 longitudinal cohorts: the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), and the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). These cohorts consisted of nationwide samples from 24 countries. Digital exclusion was defined as the self-reported lack of access to the internet. Depressive symptoms were assessed using comparable scales across all cohorts. We used generalized estimating equation models, fitting a Poisson model, to investigate the association between the digital exclusion and depressive symptoms. We adjusted for the causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) minimal sufficient adjustment set (MSAS), which includes gender, age, retirement status, education, household wealth, social activities, and weekly contact with their children. <b>Results:</b> During the study period (2010-2018), 122,242 participants underwent up to 5 rounds of follow-up. Digital exclusion varied greatly across countries, ranging from 21.1% in Denmark to 96.9% in China. The crude model revealed a significant association between digital exclusion and depressive symptoms. This association remained statistically significant in the MSAS-adjusted model across all cohorts: HRS [incidence rate ratio (IRR), 1.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.28 to 1.47], ELSA (IRR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.41), SHARE (IRR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.27 to 1.33), CHARLS (IRR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.38 to 1.91), and MHAS (IRR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.26 to 1.37); all <i>P</i>s < 0.001. Notably, this association was consistently stronger in individuals living in lower wealth quintile households across all 5 cohorts and among those who do not regularly interact with their children, except for ELSA. <b>Conclusions:</b> Digital exclusion is globally widespread among older adults. Older individuals who are digitally excluded are at a higher risk of developing depressive symptoms, particularly those with limited communication with their offspring and individuals living in lower wealth quintile households. Prioritizing the provision of internet access to older populations may help reduce the risks of depression symptoms, especially among vulnerable groups with limited familial support and with lower income.</p>","PeriodicalId":73207,"journal":{"name":"Health data science","volume":"5 ","pages":"0218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11717435/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142959721","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}

The aims of this study were to determine whether loneliness and social isolation are independently associated with the risk of NAFLD and to explore potential mediators for the observed associations. <b>Methods:</b> In this large prospective cohort analysis with 405,073 participants of the UK Biobank, the status of loneliness and social isolation was assessed through self-administrated questionnaires at study recruitment. The primary endpoint of interest was incident NAFLD. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for the associations between loneliness, social isolation, and risk of NAFLD. <b>Results:</b> During a median follow-up of 13.6 years, there were 5,570 cases of NAFLD identified. In the multivariable-adjusted model, loneliness and social isolation were both statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD (HR = 1.22 and 1.13, respectively). No significant multiplicative or additive interaction was found between loneliness and social isolation on the risk of NAFLD. The mediation analysis estimated that 30.4%, 16.2%, 5.3%, 4.1%, 10.5%, and 33.2% of the loneliness-NAFLD association was mediated by unhealthy lifestyle score, obesity, current smoking, irregular physical activity, suboptimal sleep duration, and depression, respectively.
