Suicide risk among patients with cancer by sex in Japan: A population-based study
CONCLUSIONS: In this population, both sexes had higher suicide risk with poor prognosis, but the difference in SMRs between the good and poor groups was smaller for women than men.PMID:38462529 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230280 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)

Development and validation of claims-based algorithms for identifying hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and their severity in 2020 and 2021
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis code-only algorithm for COVID-19 hospitalization showed low validity throughout the study period. The algorithms for hospitalizations, moderate or higher status, and severe status with COVID-19, consisting of both diagnosis codes and procedure codes, showed high validity in some periods.PMID:38462528 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20230285 (Source: Journal of Epidemiology)
