Global matters of epidemiology and the ethical challenges of addressing the health of populations
CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic required an expedited public health response and, at the same time, placed the profession of epidemiology and public health, its system, and structures, under the microscope like never before. This article illustrates that revisiting our foundations in research and practice and orienting contemporary challenges using an ethical lens can assist in identifying and furthering the health of populations globally.PMID:38237879 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.01.003 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

Risk of tuberculosis among pulmonary tuberculosis contacts: the importance of time of exposure to index cases
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of TB increases with the time of exposure to the index case and this risk is also higher in < 5 years and immigrants. Contact tracing has a high yield for detecting new cases of TB.PMID:38219967 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.01.004 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

Establishment and representativeness of the Stockholm Sodium Cohort: A laboratorial and pharmacoepidemiologic database covering 1.6 million individuals in the Stockholm County
CONCLUSION: SSC is the first cohort specifically designed to investigate sodium levels in a large, population-based setting. It includes a wide range of administrative health data and laboratory analyses. The coverage is high, particularly among elderly and individuals with comorbidities. Consequently, the cohort has a large potential for exploration of various aspects of hyponatremia.PMID:38219968 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2024.01.005 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

Divergent trends in accidental deaths since return from an Afghanistan/Iraq deployment among army soldiers

Non-Adherence to COPD Medications and its Association with Adverse Events: A Longitudinal Population Based Cohort Study of Older Adults
CONCLUSION: After accounting for time varying confounding by COPD severity, the highest time varying 90-days adherence was associated with an increased risk of both COPD related ED visits and hospitalizations compared to the lowest adherence categories. Differences in COPD severity between adherence categories, perception of need for medication management in the higher adherence categories, and potential residual confounding makes it difficult to disentangle the independent effects of adherence from the severity of the condition itself.PMID:38141744 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2023.12.003 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)
