We assessed the accuracy of electronic health record (EHR) COVID-19 vaccination compared with survey self-reported vaccination status using data from a cross-sectional study among pregnant women and non-pregnant adults in the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) between 2021 and 2022, where self-report was considered the reference standard. We measured sensitivity and specificity of EHR vaccine data compared with the self-reported measure and estimated vaccination rates from EHR data. EHR data were obtained initially in November 2021, updated in April 2022, and record review in July 2022. Vaccination coverage increased in pregnant/formerly pregnant women and non-pregnant adult respondents by 23.9% and 9.2%, respectively, over 9 months. Estimates of sensitivity based on initial EHR data were 66.0% and 77.3% for pregnant women and non-pregnant people overall and between 41% and 66% for pregnant, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic, Spanish-speaking respondents. With matured, chart reviewed EHR data from April 2022, the sensitivity and specificity of EHR vaccine status relative to self-report were >93%. EHR data was a reasonable source of COVID-19 vaccination status during the pandemic and showed high accuracy with self-reported data after allowing EHR data to mature.","PeriodicalId":7472,"journal":{"name":"American journal of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144186208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous analyses of health determinants have shown that the UKB is not representative of the population from which it is drawn. However, representativeness from a general health-outcomes perspective is unknown, but could be assessed using health related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire responses and expected population norms. HRQoL responses, collected using the EuroQoL EQ-5D-5L instrument, were available for participants who completed the experience of pain follow-up survey (n=167,199). We comprehensively characterised follow-up participant HRQoL and made age and sex-specific comparisons with normative data derived from the nationally representative Health Survey for England (2014). The pattern of reported problems mirrored those of the expected population norms, but with differences in magnitude: for both sexes, at all ages (except >74y) the prevalence/odds of problems were greater for UKB participants. Compared with the norms, HRQoL of participants in this subsample did not follow a pattern of decline as expected with increasing age. While we did find differences in patterns between the EoPQ cohort and expected population HRQoL, the absolute differences were only modest, and this should provide reassurance for users of the data.","PeriodicalId":7472,"journal":{"name":"American journal of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144155484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When US renters' housing conditions deteriorate, state policies known as \"implied warranties of habitability\" are meant to force landlords to ameliorate pathogenic habitability violations, allowing renters to sue or withhold rent until repairs are completed. No research, however, has tested whether these policies work-whether they succeed at protecting population health. At issue is whether warranties are effective when bringing legal action is so onerous for renters in practice. We thus use generalized difference-in-differences models to estimate warranties' effects on renters' general and respiratory health, including event study and triple-difference models that employ homeowners as negative controls. Health outcome data from the National Health Interview Survey (1993-2018) was limited to the 10 states that did not have a warranty at baseline and had sufficient pre-implementation data. We found null associations near 0 for nearly all outcomes. It is unclear whether this is because (A) our sample mostly included states with weak policies, (B) US renters are not guaranteed lawyers in civil court, or (C) a completely different, more pro-active rental inspection approach is needed. Regardless, results suggest policies must change if we are to realize the public health promise of healthier housing.","PeriodicalId":7472,"journal":{"name":"American journal of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144126400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the effect of smoking status on cognitive evolution, accounting for potential bias in attrition. We analyzed 21 216 Black and White participants from the REGARDS cohort study. In order to account for potential differential attrition, a sensitivity analysis compared the association between smoking status and age-sex-specific composite cognitive trajectories using linear mixed models, robust under missing at random assumption, and joint models, robust under the extended missing at random assumptions. Linear mixed model results indicated current smokers had lower overall composite cognitive scores compared to never smokers at baseline (-0.20, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.23, -0.16) and at 14-years duration in the study (-0.26, 95% CI: -0.33, -0.20), also apparent when comparing current smokers to past smokers, and memory and verbal fluency composite scores. Joint modeling estimates yielded results similar to results from linear mixed models. Joint models are recommended as a potential means to investigate concerns about attrition, particularly in studies of factors associated with both cognition and mortality. This study provides further support that smoking is likely to have negative impacts on cognition.","PeriodicalId":7472,"journal":{"name":"American journal of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144109402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how a combination of modifiable risk factors, as reflected by the LIBRA (LIfestyle for BRAin health) index, contributes to cognitive resilience to genetic susceptibility to dementia (CRgen) remains unclear. We selected 6,774 Three-City study participants without dementia at baseline (mean age=74 years) and with ≥2 cognitive measures over time. Genetic risk was defined through ApoE-ε4 carriage alone (ε4-carriers) or combined with high AD-specific genetic risk scores beyond ApoE (ε4-carriers/GRS-high). To define CRgen, we modeled and compared the cognitive slopes of at-risk individuals to their demographically similar peers without genetic risk; at-risk individuals with the most preserved cognition were defined as resilient (ε4-carriers [n=237]; ε4-carrier/GRS-high [n=319]), and the least preserved as non-resilient (ε4-carriers [n=866]; ε4-carrier/GRS-high [n=1,249]). Lower LIBRA risk scores at baseline, denoting healthier lifestyle and reduced dementia risk, were linearly associated with greater odds of CRgen, both in ε4-carriers (odds ratio [OR]=1.11;95%CI=1.05-1.18) and ε4-carriers/GRS-high (OR=1.16;95%CI=1.11-1.22).

During a mean follow-up period of 6.93 years, 706 participants developed incident gout. Walking volume and intensity alone showed no significant relationship to the risk of incident gout. However, compared with the low group (<5,000 steps/day) of purposeful steps, the risk of incident gout was lower in the middle group (5,000-7,999 steps/day) and high (≥8,000 steps/day) group, with adjusted HRs and 95% confidence intervals of 0.78 (0.66-0.94) and 0.72 (0.58-0.90), respectively (P for trend =0.003).

These moratoria reduced eviction filing rates, but their impact on fatal drug overdoses remains unexplored. We evaluated the effect of these policies on county-level overdose death rates by focusing on the dates the state eviction moratoria were lifted. We obtained mortality data from NCHS and eviction moratoria dates from the COVID-19 US State Policy Database. We employed a longitudinal targeted minimum-loss-based estimation with Super Learner to flexibly estimate the average treatment effect (ATE) of never lifting the moratoria. Lifting state eviction moratoria was associated with a 0.14 per 100,000 higher rate of monthly overdose mortality (95%CI: -0.03, 0.32), although confidence intervals were wide and included zero.
