Native American Community Perspectives on Oral Health Access: Understanding the Impact of Rurality

Healthcare (Basel). 2023 Oct 21;11(20):2788. doi: 10.3390/healthcare11202788.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Oral health disparities related to access persist for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities compared to the general population, especially in rural areas of the United States. The objective of this study was to better understand community perspectives of oral health, how rurality impacts access to care, and attitudes towards the implementation of dental therapists in Oklahoma, particularly among the AI/AN population.

Nonelective coronary artery bypass graft outcomes are adversely impacted by Coronavirus disease 2019 infection, but not altered processes of care: A National COVID Cohort Collaborative and National Surgery Quality Improvement Program analysis

JTCVS Open. 2023 Sep 22;16:342-352. doi: 10.1016/j.xjon.2023.09.020. eCollection 2023 Dec.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The effects of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and altered processes of care on nonelective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes remain unknown. We hypothesized that patients with COVID-19 infection would have longer hospital lengths of stay and greater mortality compared with COVID-negative patients, but that these outcomes would not differ between COVID-negative and pre-COVID controls.

Follicular phase length is not related to live birth outcome in women with unexplained infertility undergoing ovarian stimulation with intrauterine insemination cycles in a multicenter trial

F S Rep. 2023 Aug 8;4(4):361-366. doi: 10.1016/j.xfre.2023.08.003. eCollection 2023 Dec.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of follicular phase length (FPL) on pregnancy outcomes and endometrial thickness (ET) among women with unexplained infertility undergoing ovarian stimulation with intrauterine insemination (OS-IUI) with clomiphene citrate, letrozole, or gonadotropins.

DESIGN: Cohort analysis of the Reproductive Medicine Network's Assessment of Multiple Intrauterine Gestations from Ovarian Stimulation randomized controlled trial.
