We assessed post-hoc adjustment methods using data from 2021-2023 SARS-CoV-2 serosurveillance studies in Alberta, Canada: one that tested 124,008 blood donations using Roche immunoassays (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid total antibody and anti-SARS-CoV-2 S) and another that tested 214,780 patient samples using Abbott immunoassays (SARS-CoV-2 IgG and anti-SARS-CoV-2 S). Comparing datasets, seropositivity for antibodies against nucleocapsid (anti-N) diverged after May 2022 due to differential loss of sensitivity as a function of time since infection. The commonly used Rogen-Gladen adjustment did not reduce this divergence. Regression-based adjustments using the assays' semi-quantitative results produced more similar estimates of anti-N seroprevalence and rolling incidence proportion (proportion of individuals infected in recent months). Seropositivity for antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was similar without adjustment, and concordance was not improved when applying an alternative, functional threshold. These findings suggest that assay performance substantially impacted population inferences from SARS-CoV-2 serosurveillance studies in the Omicron period.

This research provides a timely framework for selecting sentinel sites for drug- and alcohol-related early warning. The system, once in place, will be crucial for informing and implementing timely and effective interventions for overdose prevention. The sentinel strategy-specifically, the selection of hospital sites for the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) national overdose surveillance system-is a step toward addressing this urgent need.</p><p><strong>Data and methods: </strong>Sentinel counties were selected using a geographic framework based on a modified version of the CDC's Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), incorporating measures of overall vulnerability, drug-related mortality, and alcohol-related mortality. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied for data reduction and composite scoring. Mortality data were obtained from the CDC WONDER Multiple Cause of Death (MCOD) database, while nonfatal overdose data came from the U.S. Department of Transportation's NHTSA opioid overdose tracker. Data on High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs) were included to assess overlap with vulnerable counties. The American Hospital Association (AHA) data on DAWN-eligible hospitals and emergency department (ED) visits were used to identify potential hospital sites within selected sentinel counties for the DAWN early warning system.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Principal component analysis of standardized county-level indicators revealed significant geographic disparities in overdose vulnerability. Counties in West Virginia, New Mexico, southern Texas, the Dakotas, and Alaska exhibited high social vulnerability. Drug-related mortality was highest in West Virginia, while alcohol-related mortality was elevated in New Mexico and South Dakota. Vulnerable counties overlapped with HIDTA regions in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, South Dakota, Kentucky, and West Virginia, with additional overlap in southern California. Nonfatal overdose rates from NHTSA were also elevated in many of these counties, supporting their designation as potential sentinel counties for early warning.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Vulnerable, high-risk counties with elevated drug- and alcohol-related mortality may be key drivers of the ongoing overdose epidemic in the U.S. These counties are geographically dispersed, underscoring the need for a targeted spatial strategy. Sentinel hospitals can be selected within these high-risk areas to detect emerging drug trends, novel substances, and evolving slang terms.

However, access to the arts is not equitable, so a key challenge in observational research is disentangling any causal effects from this social gradient in engagement. In this paper, we consider five of the key methodological challenges in epidemiological research on arts and health and propose solutions by combining causal inference approaches with a new theoretical framework on the determinants of arts and cultural engagement (RADIANCE), which uses a socio-ecological approach to identify multi-level factors influencing patterns of arts behaviours.

In particular, we show that the statistical estimand that conditions on observed eligibility after time zero of follow-up can be interpreted using partially overlapping principal strata. Further, we show that, under this perspective, as the timing of eligibility approaches time zero of follow-up, the probabilities of the outcome for eligible individuals monotonically approach the corresponding unconditional (in absence of selection) expected potential outcomes under different treatment levels.

We compared monthly prevalence of each condition in 2020 vs. 2019. We then imposed 3, 6, and 12-month look-back periods (LBP) to capture comorbidities grouped by Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) or summarized in the Charleson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and conducted similar 2020 versus 2019 prevalence comparisons. Results Changes in condition prevalence varied across conditions with strongest declines for cancer in April 2020 (-57.4%) and strongest increases for depression in December 2020 (+11.8%). The mean CCI was higher for most conditions during the spring of 2020 and this difference was accentuated by applying a longer LBP. Similar trends were found regarding the number of CCSR categories. Conclusion Pandemic-related changes in condition capture were complex, involving both increases and decreases in encounters for specific conditions and in comorbidities, along with variations in comorbidity capture dependent on look-back periods.

Quasi-experimental designs capitalizing on the timing of natural experiments, such as Interrupted Time Series (ITS), offer a valuable alternative to estimate causal effects when control groups are not available. This paper explores the application of a two-stage ITS framework that compares traditional autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models and two machine learning algorithms: Neural Network Autoregressive (NNETAR) and Prophet-Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). As a case study, we assess the impacts of the 2018 wildfire smoke event on respiratory hospitalizations in San Francisco County, California. We split the data into pre- and post-event periods to train and evaluate the models, perform cross-validation for hyperparameter tuning, and predict hospitalizations under the counterfactual scenario. Data and R code are provided for reproducibility. In the case study, the Prophet-XGBoost shows the best model performance and was used to generate the counterfactual trends. We estimate that the 2018 smoke event resulted in a total of 92 (95% empirical confidence interval: 24, 125) excess respiratory hospitalizations (12.5% of the observed hospitalization count during the event period).
