Epidemiological analysis of Legionella pneumonia in Japan: A national inpatient database study
CONCLUSIONS: The characterized epidemiology of Legionella pneumonia in Japan revealed a high mortality rate of 6.4%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate a higher mortality rate in winter and in patients with congestive heart failure and metastasis. Further research is needed to understand the complex interplay between the prognostic factors of Legionella pneumonia.PMID:38105002 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230178 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Efficiency and workload reduction of semi-automated citation screening software for creating clinical practice guidelines: a prospective observational study
CONCLUSIONS: The potential advantages of the semi-automated method (shorter screening time and higher discriminatory rate for the final list of studies) warrant further validation.TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was submitted to the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN-CTR [UMIN000049366]).PMID:38105001 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230227 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)
